He's for the rich, right? [View all]

I'm registering voters in public areas -- in front of supermarkets, etc.

The best informed voters are already registered. I'm getting down to the undecided, uninformed, could-care-less voters now. The ones who ask me whether Obama is a Republican or a Democrat. These are, unfortunately, the voters who decide elections.

And in my lower middle class area, this is what I am hearing: "Romney, he's the one that's for the rich, isn't he?"

The Occupy message got across. There's the 1%. That's Romney. And there is the rest of us. That's Obama.

Thank you, Occupiers. At least that much has become clear to ordinary Americans.

Americans are figuring out whom they really need to fear. And it isn't someone in a foreign country.
