LOL, cute.

I’ve noticed that trend for a while now... No matter how far Giuliani’s numbers go down, no one else’s numbers go up. I thought for sure Romney would jump up after that first debate, but there has been no real change there at all. Clearly, Republicans are not satisfied with their choices. Unless something changes, it’s going to be another “hold your nose” election. And that particular game is losing its luster by the day as our elected representatives continue using our backs as targets in their knife-chucking contest.
