    Romney's imploding campaign is a myth

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/howard-fineman/barack-obama-floating-like-a-butterfly_b_1911017.html Romney's gaffes are media facades. Obama has made just as many gaffes with no media recoil. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2012/09/25/the_obama_press_votes_early_115560.html

    Romney Taxes

    I don't care. If I were him I would try to evade as many taxes as possible. This indicates loopholes in the tax system. And guess what, even if he did pay taxes- HE WOULD STILL BE RICH. Romney worked hard for his success. Obama got affirmative action.
