Andrew Gruber, a senior director at Qualcomm, often loses himself in his work designing cellphones. But he has developed another obsession, and he has started taking regular breaks to indulge it.
“Every half an hour I check to see if any new polls have shown up,” said Gruber, an Arlington resident and Mitt Romney supporter.

Gee, why bother to spend your time learning about the candidates when it's so much easier to waste your time letting other people tell you what to think? Sad.
Probably the most pressing issue facing Massachusetts and the rest of the US is the stagnant state of the US economy, and what either candidate can offer to help all of us in Massachusetts is of the most importance right now. One of Massachusetts biggest economic sectors - the Financial Services Industry is being decimated by firms like State Street Corp (STT) that under the direction of its current CEO Jay Hooley, is engaged in a Joint Venture or JV with a firm owned by INDIAN nationals called SYNTEL corp (SYNT) of TROY MI that has already sent over 3,200 good paying middle class US Job, most from Massachusetts, to INDIA, this only three years after State Street Corp received a $2 Billion US TARP bailout from the very people that this firm and its current BOARD of DIRECTORS are hurting the most. This is a NATIONAL DISGRACE and if either PRESIDENT Obama or Mitt Romney can help put an end to this "Betting Against America" I will vote for that person....http://www.wgbh.org/programs/Greater-Boston-11/episodes/July-19-2012State-Street-outsourcing-40276
I was telling a friend in SC by cell phone about this article and it's contents. His response, "Imagine if these people put their time and effort checking polls into Habitat for Humanity or the local animal shelter what a better world it would be." True. We often set off in a direction with our limited life-span without considering what the best use of ourselves would be. THE ONLY POLL THAT COUNTS WILL BE ON TUESDAY, NEXT.
