I must have been mighty pooped yesterday, because when my work was done I slept the rest of the day.  Today I\u2019ll be collecting data for my final Election Projection tomorrow.  I\u2019m current with replies.  Tomorrow is a holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb, and my Broncos will be meditating with the Bengals.  It will be televised here, so I\u2019ll try to get the blog up early.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Huffington Post<\/a>: <\/font>Republican Mitt Romney has millionaire backers, a huge staff and years of campaign experience, which may be enough to win the White House. President Barack Obama has one asset Romney can’t match, however: Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

The former president is sprinting through battleground states, delivering more speeches than Obama himself and, arguably, carrying much of the president’s re-election hopes on his 66-year-old shoulders.<\/p>\n
