But, if you challenge the numbers in Obama's favor, why not be suspect of the ones that were not ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463472772679876402.post-84879524731122871472012-10-08T20:36:44.072-04:002012-10-08T20:36:44.072-04:00I'm with you, Jake.

I'm no fan of Obama but, you are engaging in conspiracy type thinking which allows for any kind of rationalization that fits your preferred view of reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
