petrichloroform replied to your post: When I read news articles about Ron Paul or the rest of the GOP candidates, I always think I’m reading The Onion. But no, it’s real life.

Romney: ‘I’m Not Concerned About the Very Poor’ →
Mitt just can’t stop sounding like a heartless rich guy. “I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there,” Romney said on CNN Wednesday Morning. “If it needs repair, I’ll fix it. I’m not concerned about the very rich, they’re doing just fine. I’m concerned about the very heart of America, the 90 percent, 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling.” Host Soledad...

Rasmussen tilts very Right. Nate Silver says that their results usually skew about 5% in favor of the Republican/GOP position. So this would mean that the actual numbers are 44/38, or...
