| | Time To Grind | The big money is starting to pour in and some seem a little upset about it..
The campaign to re-elect President Barack Obama sent a distress signal Friday to potential contributors, saying they’re being outspent on the air 2-to-1 in Iowa by Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
“We expect Mitt Romney and the Republicans to outspend us,” Obama says in an email to contributors. “What I will not abide is getting outspent by a margin that negates all the hard work our volunteers are doing — talk to voters, knocking on doors, making calls.”
The email goes on to ask contributors for $3 each. Obama: Being outspent on air in Iowa, 2-to-1 - Political Watch - MarketWatch |

All this extra spending is not showing Romney pulling away in the polls. |

Whether you call that doing something or not is up to you. I hope if Romney gets elected that he understands that he needs to be the undo president, not a do president, or like Nobama, the doo doo president.

| | Time To Grind | Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson almost certainly can't win the presidential election this year. But his supporters claim he could determine who does.
"He's going to be a problem for somebody, somewhere," political strategist and Fox News contributor Joe Trippi wrote last month. "We don't yet know which candidate he might harm the most -- but both campaigns should be looking over their shoulders at that guy almost nobody is talking about."

| that's a big problem with the Libertarian Party, the best they're ever able to hope for is playing the roll of "spoiler".
Ron Paul, running as a Libertarian, could have had a much greater impact. He certainly could have brought organization and support.

| I'm going to see Paul Ryan tomorrow. I missed Barack when he was in Roanoke, so I figured I'd see Ryan. I'm still undecided.
