That's why it does matter. Why it should matter is that the field is suggesting that Romney sides with Wall Street over the rest of the population.

"You make a lot of money, you are therefore not fit for public service." = common sense

Because most voters are so [expletive] stupid it's a wonder how they get out the door in the morning. That's the reality. When Santo says "Snob" it doesn't matter what is true and what isn't. He knows that comment will get votes. Because people are stupid. And he's not. That's about it. When a liberal says "wah wah wah don't cut down that tree". They don't give a [expletive] about the tree. They want the vote.ghostrunner wrote:I don't know why it's a big deal for Romney to be relatable to voters anyway.

It looks like Romney is going to win by a hair.

According to Nate Silver it's not too unlikely that the "winner" of Michigan will change in a few days. Two delegates are decided by the statewide popular vote, and the other 28 are decided by district. The effect shouldn't be big, but in a tight race it can flip the first and second place finishers.

I'm eating lunch, checking around the homepage, and now on GRB, (misplaced priorities-I know.)
But I want to applaud GRB for it's restraint in not picking up on a particular story involving a moronic attention-seeking asswipe on a Rick Santorum-type issue.
