The fact that it's even close is really testament to the economy still sucking despite what some things might indicate. Stock market is up, but dollar is down. Unemployment is down but lots of people stopped looking for work. Businesses may have more money than ever, but most are hoarding it. Housing market still blows. And simply put, more people than ever are struggling. Republicans have been obstructionist to say the least, so anyone who is blaming Republicans entirely and not Obama at all is basically saying to re-elect Obama so that the same shit will continue for another 4 years because that's better than electing someone else. I'm not so sure that it is. It's sad and pathetic what Republicans have done with stalling progress of the country, but it's seeming very effective in accomplishing what they've wanted to, which is have a significant chance to win this election. Let's face it - after Bush, without them doing all this, the party would have been fucked.
