I thought I caught in the news this morning that Romney had supported him in the past, but after the rape comment, released a statement saying he does not endorse that view. Might have misheard though.

His spokeswoman said he "disagrees" with the comment, but "supports" the candidate. Typical Romney, having it both ways.

Write-in campaign for Jesus

A few months ago I wrote a piece contrasting the relatively small effect Mitt Romney's Mormonism has had on this campaign with the past popularity of wild anti-Mormon conspiracy theories. Even Robert Jeffress, the Dallas pastor who embarrassed Rick Perry by declaring that Romney is "not a Christian" and that Mormonism "has always been considered a cult by the mainstream of Christianity," wound up endorsing the GOP's nominee, explaining his decision with the line, "Jesus isn't on the ballot this year, so we have to make choices."

But Bill Keller won't be stopped by Christ's failure to get on the ballot. Keller, the most ferocious of the modern anti-Mormon voices quoted in my article, claims that 1,392,972 people so far have pledged to write in the reputed son of God rather than back either Romney or Obama. Here's his pitch:

If President Obama is re-elected, his anti-American, socialist policies will continue, as will his attacks on Christianity and Christian churches. He will continue to support abortion, homosexuality, the enemies of Israel. How can a true follower of Christ vote in good conscience for a man who has proven to be a true enemy of God and His Word and will continue to be so in his next term?

If Mitt Romney is elected, he will be the fulfillment of his cult's polygamist, pedophile, racist, con artist, murdering founder Joseph Smith's "White Horse" prophecy that Romney and all Mormon's believe. That prophecy says that the United States will facing great economic and social unrest, a Mormon will be elected President, declare a national emergency and set aside the US Constitution and enact a Mormon theocracy. That may sound impossible, but ever since he was at BYU, Romney was called by his inner circle "the chosen one" to fulfill their cult's prophecy....

So who is a Christian to vote for with a clear conscience? The answer is simple...JESUS!!!

I am encouraging true followers of Jesus Christ to say NO to satan and say YES to Jesus! This November, write in the name JESUS for President!

The punchline: Keller's a birther.

To be fair, polygamy's been out of Mormonism for decades now.

His spokeswoman said he "disagrees" with the comment, but "supports" the candidate. Typical Romney, having it both ways.

See? Romney's spokesperson is female. Romney loves women.

was he losing beforehand? seemed pretty tight to me anyway.

republicans getting pissy about a non partisan tax study they didn't like either and so got it pulled, apparently due to it's tone... oddly enough the conclusion of the report was that tax cuts for the rich do **** all for economic growth and only benefit the very rich whilst increasing economic disparity between rich and poor: What.A.Surprise.

Report here if you wish to check it out

This. The hurricane has boosted his numbers a little, but even before it happened, he already had a small but persistent lead in most of the swing states.

I don't think it has saved him, but it has certainly reinforced his position.

So, following the hanging chads, Romney's ownership of the machines that count the votes, and concerted efforts to keep people off the register or tell them they're not on it when they are, I see Obama has 2,500 lawyers on call in Ohio alone to tackle vote manipulation.

Perhaps they need UN observers sent in to oversee the process.

Can't remember where I read it, but there are international observers (not sure if they are UN ones) watching the election. One caveat though - in a lot of states, they are barred from the polling rooms - the places where people cast their ballots, whatever you call them. Not sure if they will be doing checks on the actual counting of the votes as well.

Eighty-five percent of American voters in Israel cast their ballots for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, according to an exit poll released on Thursday

What has Obama done to upset them ?

I was reading earlier that it's not really that close of an election, in that it's more likely Obama will win than Romney. The margin for the win will be tight but Obama is markedly more likely to take a tight victory than Romney is.

Or something.

So yeah, Mick McCarthy is unlikely be in the Whitehouse. Apparently.

I find it bizarre that the election seems to be so close.

Do Romney supporters simply think Romney=jobs or is there a huge backlash against Obama because he couldn't turn a worldwide recession around?
