1. "Independents" who are voting R, are likely the Ron Paul fanatics.

Great info. Thanks.

2. Those guys are pissed at the Republicans about the convention still

If Obama is even with men, then it's all over.

3. I once noticed that many "independents" are just republicans

Republicans that are too ashamed to call themselves republicans. I met many people that said they were independent voters but voted republican 100% of the time. I am sure these days they are part of the "tea party" and don't call themselves "Republicans" because as we know, there is a huge difference between those two groups

9. The overall situation right now feels like pre-convention

Back when Obama held small but consistent leads.
