Romney mediscare

"The amount of financial support that a person would get would be adjusted based on their income; more help would go to the poor -- and less help would go to those that are financially better off."

This is an interesting passage about Romney's medicare.  It does give the left something to chew on. In my case it would mean my younger counterpart would have to  pay more for benefits than I currently do, as I am not "poor".   So that is a step down from the current plan. Again, not for my group but for yours.

In other words, or at the risk of repeating myself, my Medicare regardless of Romney, is better than yours would be under Romney.  That is, unless you're poor.  Then it will be the same time it depends on a  sliding scale, the meaning of "poor". And that could mean actual poverty line, bottom fifteen percent, with almost everybody else paying more.  

Not really tricky or difficult, but again, complicated enough so that the whole question might have no effect on voters' thinking. I'm beginning to believe this will simply not play a part in voter choice.

Its going to be a very close race.  All eyes are on some one million undecided swing state voters.  And that's a coin toss to predict. 

Most of our discussion is about what moves staunch right and left wingers. And we simply don't count. Our minds are made up.  The small drift over individual issues is a wash. Vernoff for Israel, me for my Medicare advantage under Romney. (staunch democrat seniors clever or studious enough to see what I see are probably just a handful, though that could turn out to be a hidden advantage for Romney come November).

Now if our side picks up on this 67 problem, that might be neutralized or even turned into a rich source of republican defectors.

My prediction here is our side will not bring it up. Which is terrifying because it implies that the whole damn drama is controlled. So there I am saying the whole damn drama is a sham to keep us watching tv while all the good shows are on hiatus,  

There are people who believe this sort of heavy weight conspiracy stuff.  I'm not one of them.  But if the number 67 isn't a conspicuous part of obama's campaign, then I have to consider moving some chips into that column.
