Last night, I switched around various channels and saw Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the UN being mocked on Jon Stewart’s show. Stewart equated it to Wily E. Coyote and the sheep in the audience had piercing laughs. Too many people unaware. Too many people blissfully ignorant. They probably consider Stewart to be a source for news.

It does appear then that Ras is using a significant dem oversample model.

Either we have a lot more government teat feeders than we used to, OR Rasmussen is a fat-faced lying pollster like all the rest of them.

I get that, but its highly likely that the swing state vote will track the national vote anyway.

Obama’s not far ahead not up in the polls. It is tied.

That said, it is still shocking he is not down 10, but races always look close in the middle, so I doubt it has any relation to the outcome.

Amazing, isn't it. Jon Stewart is Jewish.

Perhaps I may have the wrong term but I think Stewart called Netanyahu “Bubbie” last night which I thought was a reference to grandmothers.

When all is said and done I don’t think the results will have anything to do with gaffes, debates, or even the media.
The economy sucks no matter what is said. People feel that.
Plus I strongly believe that there are masses of people who will vote for Romney but just don’t want to talk about it because it makes them feel dirty.
I just got back from my annual Colorado vacation and there was twice as much anti Obama stuff as there was pro Romney stuff.
And the Obama and pro Romney comparison broke slightly in favor of Romney. That’s just anecdotal I know, but it is in stark contrast to what I saw four years ago.

I have a solution for the John Stewart wathcing hipster 21-35 demographic. We need a surtax of $100 on the new iPhone as well as a surtax of %50 on all clothing sold at Abercrombie and Fitch and Hollister. That would wipe the smirk off their smarmy faces. They would get it then. Most hipsters live with their parents, on their health insurance, have some useless day job which they are free to spend their money on over priced mountain bikes, soy lattes at Starbucks and concert tickets to see Seether or the reunion of SoundGarden. That or like my ex Sis in Law hipster, they co-habitate with another drippy recent college grad, semi employed hipster in some faux marriage including the yappy dog which is their pseudo kid. They think they are so smart, trendy, hip and worldly, they worship that tool John Leibowitz.

Leftist is his religion. Israel is a nice place for him to visit and claim himself a good Jew for doing so. This is the same concept as Jews who go to temple only on the high holidays. 90% of those Jews are voting for the Marxist.

With Ryan supporting gays in the Military and Romney seemingly not in the race (I have to turn off the TV several times during the early evening due to obama ads on History and Discovery etc and NO Romney ads)... I am beginning to think that these polls are correct. WTF is wrong with Romney and Ryan? Even if the truth is that they are even... why are they not fighting about the things that are happening to them? Why do they allow lies and attacks to go unanswered? WHY?

Romney is worrying me. Its late in the game, like 5 weeks to go, and he is making little headway. Obama has literally 4 years of record epic fail, especially on the economy. 44 plus months of record recession, record numbers of unemployment, a million and half less people working, AND yet Romney cant make any headway.

I'm sorry, but this nice guy approach is not working for him.

Mitt is running strong, and has room to close the election in the last few weeks.

But its not a surprise that he’s tied now. The fact is media corruption is far greater than its ever been.

Lets look at the election in 1980. Imagine for a moment if in 1980 the american voters did not know anything about the iranian hostage crisis, did not know the unemployment rate, did not know the true cost of the interest rates.... or the inflation rate numbers.

In 1980 the news media reported those facts, and people knew them.

Today’s media doesnt’ report those facts at all. And people have no idea of what Obama’s presidency is doing to the nation.

The "dead heat" doesn't quite fit the media meme that Obama is surging ahead and that Romney is faltering.

We are now forty days out from the election. It is a good thing for a challenger to be in a dead heat at this point because the undecideds and leaners historically break for the challenger by at least 2-1 margin in final days. It is a very bad thing for the incumbent to be in a dead heat at this juncture. If the incumbent is not comfortably ahead at this point, then he hasn't made his case with the electorate.

Even better, Romney's campaign has not yet unleashed the full force of their campaign. They have evidently made the strategic decision to focus their efforts on the final weeks. Many of us are questioning that but I can only assume that Romney has some smart people on his staff who know what they are doing.

Many of us are also bemoaning the fact that we have a non-charismatic candidate who comes across as overly polite and genteel. However, those who remember the 1988 campaign will remember we had the same type of candidate back then but in the final weeks of the campaign, Dukakis was hit hard with the tank ads, the Willie Horton stuff, etc., and was beaten in a 40-state landslide. All through this, George HW Bush kept out of the fray, it was his attack dogs like Lee Atwater who did all the dirty work for him.

Hopefully Romney has some people like that waiting to be unleashed. We are going to need them.

Exactly. Bad economic news is reported as a “mixed message on the economy” while mixed economic news is reported as “good news” and good news is reported as “thanks to Obama.” And if all fails, blame Bush.

During the halftime break between Washington vs Stanford football game last night, I saw an O ad accusing Romney of outsourcing jobs to China when he was the CEO at Bain. Powerful ad, and where was Romney counter attack on this ad... CRICKETS...A successful team tries to follow up on ads like those immediately the following commercial break. UNFORTUNATELY this game was seen by millions and the ad was indeed effective. BTW, my hubby is a football fanatic and see as much football games as possible and it seems that O has cornered that market very successful...that’s all I see is O ads during station breaks and NO ROMNEY ads...zip...nada..NOTHING!! Where is the fire in the belly from team R?? :(

There is now an overwhelming body of evidence, poll’s, both skewed, and not, that Romney is in a slide. I have watched for this last week, all the damning news about terrorism in Libya, only lightly damage Obama, but more Importantly an almost “shy” Romney fail to gain any traction. The Ads are bland, his speaches, complex and maybe too far over the heads of the people his message must reach. Romney needs to kick it up a notch. NOW.

I went to the Rasmussen source page for this thread, and then browsed around a bit, ‘til I found this:
“The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Ohio Voters shows the president earning 47% support to Romney’s 46%. Three percent (3%) like some other candidate, and another three percent (3%) are undecided.”

The critical Ohio race has tightened a bit in Romney’s favor, but I was wondering, just -who- are “the other candidates” there?

If the 3% for “other” holds, or if, say, 2% of those folks stick with “other” and don’t vote for either Obama or Romney, it looks like Ohio may be “won by plurality” this time, or a VERY close majority (the kind of numbers that invite fraud in the ‘rat districts).

Historically, undecideds break about 2-to-1 against the incumbent, so of the 3%, Obama gets 1% and Romney 2%. That would bump up Obama to 48%, and give Romney 48%.

It’s the 1% (from the “other’) that will make the difference. Whoever gets the majority of that, could win Ohio by a plurality, and it will be a CLOSE plurality.

Just speculatin’ with the numbers....

Romney should run ads showing the ceo of gm bragging on moving ALL operations to china and especially about moving the Cadillac R&D center from Flint to Beijing in 2013... ALL ON OUR TAX DIME!. He should call obama out as a liar... but oh no... Ryan has to embrace gays in the Military and Mitt has to call obama yesterday "a good guy who cares about America". These two guys better man-up or they are going to lose and we are going to lose the most!

Yep.

The General George McClellan strategy. Works every time!
