5. There's something hinky going on: Polls favor Romney yet Obama receives most of the military dollars

6. It's like the example re Bill Gates going into a bar populated by 9 middle class earners...

making 60, 000 and then taking an 'average' of wealth among all 10. Gates is worth 61 billion, when you 'average' his worth along with the others then the average wealth of the 10 people becomes 6 billion plus per person.

When the pollsters average the percentages nationally taking in the rabid red states where Romney has overwhelming numbers of supporters relative to the numbers President Obama has taking in those same states and supporter numbers, the average comes out to look like Romney has the edge. It is a very misleading average and is relative to the popular vote nation-wide which is NOT how elections are won, it is the electoral college numbers that count and President Obama is leading where it counts.

7. Not surprising

They want to come home, not wage war in Iran.
