Aeson's post is simply un-American. We have two parties specifically so they'll argue and argue until they're left with a compromise that's worse than what either side proposed.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

Like I said, too early to draw conclusions, but a easy Dem victory is certainly not out of the realm of possibility.
Even Rasmussen, which trends pro-R, has Obama up by eight in states like OH, PA, and VA.

It's obviously possible, but it doesn't seem likely based on what we know. Most models seem to be indicating a tight race.

Depends on what happens in the next 7 months. If the economy takes a turn for the worst, Romney doesn't have to do anything other than not be Obama.

I don't even think it was particularly 'telling women what to do with their bodies'.
By that definition, nothing has changed (and probably is the reason why there is a general democrat/republican gap).
What has changed is the language, denunciations, and by the republican commentators, which have been very anti-women (I think).
I would imagine this has pushed people away, who might otherwise find the Republicans palatable.

The war on women is not just words, its a raft of legislation intended to reduce womens rights in society. Are we really supposed to imagine that the backlash from women has nothing to do with the legislation and is purely about the nasty words?
