Oh that shit was funny.

Gallup poll numbers now out, which include the day after the debate, the day after that, and the day that sub-8% unemployment number was announced. Thus, we will see if the positive jobs headline will halt Romney's momentum this week. VP debate this Thursday.

So far, Obama's 5-point pre-debate lead has been erased.

I noticed that the Romney sons are going to be on some late night shows this week.

I find it odd and extremely creepy that all 5 have to show up together everywhere.  You'd think Mittens would send them out like Ringwraiths to all points on the map, only to converge later.

Dividing them makes them into individual appearances is boring. Everybody has a son or two.

Put them all together, and people are shocked at the visual existence of 5 sons. The only problem is that they are not super handsome.

They're all the same, though. It's like they talk to each other telepathically.  It's just creepy when they're together.

the elimination of creditor legal rights.

?
what creditor rights were eliminated?
And if that happened, how could it possibly have survived court scrutiny?

Yeah, seriously.  You're supposed to strike out on your own at that age, not ride around in a five-seat stroller.

The right not to be blackmailed by the federal government.

Who was blackmailed in the GM bankruptcy?
I know this line has somehow become gospel on the WSJ editorial board and similar places, but the factual underpinning seems curiously absent.

The Obama administration threatened to publish the names of those holders of GM bonds who refused the terms of the restructuring.

What if the polls move 4-5 points in Romney's favor?

What if Obama chokes to death on his nicotine gum while walking to the Oval Office tomorrow morning?

So far, Obama's 5-point pre-debate lead has been erased.

Those are RCP averages.  You know what I think about that meaningless babble.

Why did that frighten them? I wouldn't care. Were they gonna sic the UAW baseball bat patrol on them or something?
