I'm confused on the Amazon Cloud Player "upgrade" - spamlet Aug 1, 07:52 7
- I think it's multiple things. One, the free "upgrade" to 20 GB from last year is ending, and two, the music match process. - JaxSean Aug 1, 08:30

  - [deleted]
  - That's mostly due to Rassmussen (who lean R, as I'm sure you're aware) doing daily polls right now. -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 08:05
- Romney better double down on attack ads. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 07:41 16
  - Has Obama run anything else but attack ads? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 1, 08:52
  - I saw one during the prime time Olympics last night. "Jobbie McJobs Jobs Jobberton Jobbie Jobs!" -- nm - con_carne Aug 1, 07:50
  - There is a rumor floating around that Romney has/will pull(ed) out of PA, and will be focusing mainly on FL/NC/VA and trying to win Ohio. -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 07:48 13
    - which, if he's conceding PA, he basically has to run the table in those states -- nm - the human tater tot Aug 1, 08:01 1
      - Well, I guarantee that he wins VA (nobody believes me on this) - prayformojo Aug 1, 08:07

  - I think that's partly true, but remember that outsiders' perspectives are formed partly from watching US movies, US tv shows etc - Roger More Aug 1, 07:15 3
    - [deleted] 2
