A rather annoying, sleepless night last night. That seems to have become the norm for me these days. And my days are spent sitting in a chair that’s trying to kill me. By the end of Monday, my back is a little sore. Tuesday, it starts hurting pretty bad around lunchtime. Wednesday, I’m in pain from about the first half hour on. So things are aching pretty bad right now, and tomorrow will be a real killer. Kinda sucks.

Speaking of things that suck, I see a new poll out there that has Romney leading Obama with independents (whatever the hell they are) by 12%. Early, I know, but that doesn’t seem like a good thing. I mean, if indies are already behind Team Romney – before he’s barely had a chance to shake his Etch-A-Sketch, they’ll have totally forgotten what he’s all about by the time November gets here. Especially with a compliant new media and a shit-load of PAC money waiting to be spent.

I don’t know what to expect from Romney, since he seems to say or do whatever he thinks will please the audience du jour, but I think he’ll go with whatever the Republicans in Congress come up with. And there are an awful lot of scary Republicans out there. Especially in the House.
