One pollster already calls Virginia — for Romney

Umm, is Virginia still a battleground state? You’re sure think so by all the attention we’re getting from candidates. But one pollster says Virginia is already in the bag for Romney — so much so that Suffolk University says it will cease polling in the Old Dominion.

Politico has more here.

    Mitt Romney winning Virginia would be great news. Our country needs real leadership now, and we can only get that leadership by electing Mr. Romney.

    I agree Bill…Romney’s a real leader, and the best part is he’ll lead you in every direction on every position, simultaneously.

    HOW is the 20% tax cut to be funded? If the voucher is paid to the consumer what is the cap on it and who will make up the shortfall? Is this voucher also supposed to cover prescriptions? I want some real answers from them, if any of you followers know these answers please tell me. I don’t want to hear stupid evasive bull crap like “we will work with Democrats” this says nothing!!! My life depends on this Medicare for my Heart Medication and doctors, I want answers!!

    Romney will encourage military spending, Syria intervention:

    Romney plans to say that he believes in working with partner nations to arm rebels fighting the government of Syrian President Bashir al-Assad. He would equip the rebels – “who share our values” — with heavy weapons to take out “tanks, helicopters and fighter jets,” according to the remarks. Romney will also argue that the U.S. must support the rebels to develop influence and good relations with the Syria’s future leaders.

    Romney actually plans to double-down on the FAILED FOREIGN POLICY of George W. Bush, in which you invade first and ask questions later. This cowboy mentality has no place on the world stage, and since Romney has ZERO foreign policy experience he has no choice but to rely on the same misguided foreign policy advisers
    that advised Bush/Cheney.
