20 somethings? Try being a 50 something looking for a job. At this level, I find I'm usually used to prove that they looked at other candidates when they've already decided on someone from within the organization.

The way that companies hire these days is ridiculous. They will only accept online applications. Most times, when you try to upload your resume it doesn't fit correctly into their stupid little boxes. Job-searching officially SUCKS!

However, back to the election. There was an interesting article about the polls in the paper this morning. They said that President Obama's numbers are rising for two reasons:

1. Romney's unfortunate "47%" remark.
2. Increasing consumer confidence in the slow but steady recovery of the economy, especially thanks to the rising housing prices.
