Top strategists for Mitt Romney Wednesday expressed confidence that the GOP nominee would win North Carolina.
Rich Beeson, political director for the Romney campaign, said Democrat Barack Obama carried the state by 14,000 votes in 2008. But so far this year, Republicans had closed the absentee and early vote gap in North Carolina gap by over 100,000 votes.

So North Carolina continues to move further and further from them, as evidence by the fact that they have not had the president down there since they left the convention.''
(Romney has been in the state once since the convention, for a meeting with the Rev. Billy Graham and a rally in nearby Asheville. Romney has yet to make a public appearance in the state east of High Point.)

Republicans are Lying - Mitt Romney is a Loser

Their mouths are moving!
I honestly think Romney has a mental problem, Ann does too. She said the only thing she is worried about is mitt's "mental well being".
Unless black box voting steals the election (which is a strong possibility) Obama is a winner in spite of the bazillions spent by the 1% to maintain their strangle hold on The U.S.
