Romney Surges to Within Four... In Oregon!
Pundit Press ^ | 5/11/2012 | Matthew

Perhaps you've been to Oregon, the hipster capital of the Pacific rim? The land of Subarus and home to Portland is sometimes seen as a bastion for Democratic and other left-of-center politicians. The state has shifted quite significantly to the left in the last decade, especially as the California exodus continues apace.

So Democrat Barack Obama should be winning by a landslide margin, correct? After all, he won by 16 points in 2008. After his endorsement of gay marriage, he should be surging-- and at least holding the ground he once held.

Instead, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has cut the Obama lead quite significantly. Two months ago, Romney was behind by 11%. That deficit has been cut by nearly 2/3.

With eviction looming, Ubama will be busy trashing the property and stealing everything that is not nailed down, like any other deadbeat tenant.

“Them liking liberal Mitt”! When are you going to get over it and start doing something to get rid of Obama? You may not be a “Mitt” fan, but the enemy is still Obama. You will have plenty of opportunity to bash “Mitt” after and if he is elected. Meanwhile, focus on saving the nation from Obama.

Amen.

Portland makes Oregon look like it is LIBERAL

He’s laid out the case pretty well. Politically things have been so depressing lately that listening to his show now is a breath of fresh air. It makes me feel good and that’s not been easy lately in this atmosphere.

I still worry about the rioting this Summer and potential for Marshall Law being declared, then cancellation of the elections. I used to think it would never happen but I’m not so sure.

Cripplecreek, you need to go down to your basement and sit out this election, because you don’t seem to have a grasp of what is at stake. Any Romney critical posts between now and November are counter productive and do nothing more than help the real enemy which is OBAMA! Now knock it off!

Hmm, if the choice is between the government looking after kids or gays, what do you choose?

So you and all your little cowardly friends should get together and do something about it if you have the stones among you.

Don't forget Eugene, heck, all of Lane County... they're still using calendars from 1969.

I don’t and you know it. That’s lame.

People just want jobs. It’s all about the economy and only the economy.

So if Romney is not perceived as an agent of change, they will prefer four more years of the guy who is in charge now?

Yes, they will. They'd rather have the "devil they know" than the one they don't if they see no difference. They already know what they are getting in Obama (they think) and will heed the call to "not change horses".

I have a little problem with your logic. Obama has been a complete disaster and the other guy who has a personal and professional record of achievement in both the private and public sectors is not seen an agent of change?

If you compare the resumes of both, I have a hard time believing that anyone other than a Dem drone will want four more years of the same. This election should be and will be a referendum on Obama, not the GOP candidate. Obama can no longer rely on the airy fairy slogan of Hope and Change. He has a record now and it ain't good.

But you’re thinking logically and we’re talking about Oregon. Pretty much any blue state is not thinking logically.

What, you expect me to show up at your doorstep? LOL. Are you a third grader, you stupid POS? Why don’t you take your constant drivel over to DU. They would appreciate it over there. Really.

More self righteous cowardice from another liberal who doesn’t have the man parts to face the fact that Romney is a lying liberal who will lose.

You should join a union, your pathetic little attempts to shut down opposition would be welcome over there, boy.

Wow. Exciting. A socialist gaining on the other socialist! Hurrah!
