"Swing batter batter, SWING..."

Okay... As Paul Ryan said last night, "We can DO this." The most important election in my lifetime is in 68 days. We will blink and it will be here. We've got 68 days to convince these swing voters that our guys are the best for the job.
Sigh. That even SOUNDS silly when I read it back. The contrast between the candidates could NOT be stronger. On our side, we have two squeaky clean, smart, giving, church-going men who married their high school sweethearts and have what is known in today's terms as large families. They have signed up for this crazy gig to actually help people and restore America to greatness.
The other side? We have a president with secrets. Questionable birth, college record, family ties. A man with lots of rumors floating around but even the known factors are that he attended a black liberation "church" for many years that says "God D___n America," was (is?) friends with a known terrorist, and most recently lived in Chicago, friending those in Chicago's infamous thug politics.
Our side is for limited government, constitution, private healthcare, gun rights, pro-life, capitalism and traditional marriage.
Their side is for massive government, new laws, government-run healthcare, gun laws, pro "choice" and communism (but just called something different) and same-sex marriage.
All of those will be a moot point if the economy isn't turned around in a miraculous way.
My sister is a swing voter. She voted for Reagan, Clinton, Bush and Obama. Go figure. I always ask who she's voting for, because it's always who wins. But then, that's what swing voters do. They try to figure out who is more popular, and vote for them. They don't really have the strong principles telling them to vote their conscience. They take a poll, and whichever candidate they hear mentioned more,  they vote for them. She's also a teacher, and the teacher's union floods them with liberal propaganda about how much better life will be for them if they vote Democrat. And I think she also wanted to be on record that she voted for the first black president. We don't discuss politics - we CAN'T actually, because we will only have to agree to disagree. I'm not sure what will push her to either side. Her husband and grown son have been unemployed for over a year. She's probably vascillating that maybe the Republicans will have systems in place to create jobs, yet the Democrats keep promising all of these freebies. And healthcare is super important to her since she's a Baby Boomer. She, of course, is influenced by the Trifecta of the mainstream media, Hollywood and the liberals. I think she'll end up voting for Romney if I could guess.
Because like most of us, she's really, really worried...
