The crowds tell the story. As Election Day nears, Mitt Romney is drawing large and excited throngs.

Look to dusty Iowa cornfields, rain-soaked Virginia parks, the muddy fields of the Shelby County Fairgrounds, where a crowd of 9,500 - almost half of this western Ohio town - gathered among the barns and stables on a frigid October evening this week to glimpse the Republican presidential contender.

Romney's debate performance against President Barack Obama last week - and his energetic appearances following it up - have fueled a rise in enthusiasm on the campaign trail. Whether or not it will translate into votes, polls do suggest that Republicans are fired up.

Think about that

you really think you're qualified to speak for the entire rest of the world? pretentious jagoff.

and while it's none of your damned business what I'm doing on election day, I will point out that Republicans have cars AND driver's licenses.

Obama and Biden are running ads on CraigsList - guess they can buy supporters - lucky for them the MSM won’t notice...

I think Romney is peaking. It appears he got the timing just about right, with two debates and a hailstorm of advertising to close out the month.

This all is very encouraging.
