So, who's still nervous about November?

This morning, a surprising number of people here were worried about the November election, based on Paul Ryan's speech last night. Now that you've heard Mitt Romney speak, what's your opinion?

There was a speck of hope in that TX said fuck you to their voter ID law.

We need to follow in PA,and we all ought to flood the internet with creative commercials in lieu of what their side's paying big bucks for.

The truth shall set us free and fuck it.. let's use the internet, Al Gore!

About a reuters poll that has Romney up 46-44, over Obama. The poll was taken last night. Maybe a slight convention bounce? Obama will get that and more with our convention.

...but don't change the fact that this race is very close, closer than it ought to be, and we're all going to need to bring out "A-game" if we're going to prevail in November.

Great, spirit-lifting convention, (true) loving, caring, (maybe) crying (a little) and, hop! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DEBATES, the awesome rallies, et al.
