Many states controlled by Republicans have, or are trying to implement, voter ID laws, even though getting struck by lightning is more probable than commission of that type of voter fraud. These laws are actually thinly veiled attempts by the Reps to suppress certain voters such as seniors, minorities, and students; or those more likely to vote for Obama.
Now that Obama is widening his lead, right-wingers are attacking the polls. However, even the latest FOX poll has Romney behind by 5 points. It seems many on the right believe their views are those that are held by a majority of the country's citizens. Not true; most of the country is moderate or more centrist. The Republican party has to change, as the country changes; or face losing more and more power each year.
Romney's last hope, may be the debates. However, we think Obama is too intelligent and Romney is likely to utter a gaffe or two, thus ending his chance for an upward run.
As the election draws closer and Romney falls further behind, the wacky right will increase their fantasy attacks, eg., Obama is a Muslim, Obama is not a US citizen, he's a socialist, etc. This will drive more of the center to the left and likely accelerate Obama's lead to double digits and possibly, a landslide victory..........
