President Obama's standing in a trio of battleground states is improving, while GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney is struggling on the key test of favorability, two new polls show.
Quinnipiac University polled hypothetical general election matchups in the key general election states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

North Georgia. Those prices were from my last trip to Walmart, although the higher milk price is Mayfield whole milk.
I also cut my own grass but I do use TRUGREEN for weed control. NONE of the other homes around me in this subdivision do anything about weeds except one. Their spores/seeds are like the illegal Mexicans - too many for me to control ergo TRUGREEN.
As for the entertainment, I have Netflix , OTA and DIRECTV and will dump them when my upgrade runs out.
liars and obama apologists.
