Romney is leading.
Seems about right. Wish it were a bit more but I’ll take this lead.
I don’t care about the polls, what I do care about is that Mitt start to step up his game.
The “concerned” posters will never stop
Look at his electoral college predictions....
Isn’t that the truth? I’m sick and tired of the doom and gloomers around here.
Quit whining? Unfortuantely, a lot of conservatives aren’t happy unless they are whining about how they never win. A couple other MSM stories were posted today and it brought out those posters who want to talk about what a horrible campaign Romney is running and how Romney is just a wishy washy RINO anyway. I swear somethings conservatives aren’t happy unless we feel like we are losing and getting screwed.
If Romney is UP 2 with 2 days of WEEKEND POLLING in the mix, he’s up at least 4-5 folks.
People need to STOP watching so much damned NEWS! Folks are getting their knickers in a twist becasue they watch a coordinated propoganda campaign that is flat out trying to depress and despirit them. Stop It!
The president and his minions are still out there trying to sell a coordinated attack on the US by terrorists on the anniversary of 9/11 that killed US Citizens is and was nothing more than anger over a “film”. NO ONE IS BUYING IT FOLKS!
This election is not and never was close, don’t stop fighting like its neck and neck, but you are buying into propoganda if you think a President who has been such a complete and utter failure in EVERY aspect of his administration is going to win re-election.
What is happening on the ground has not remotely been being reflected in the polling, which I am not sure why, but I have no doubt it will long before election day.
Obama at best is looking at low 40s, and very likely will lose relection by as big if not a bigger margin than Herbert Hoover in 1932.
Are we sick of freedom of speech too? People are afraid because they know we can’t afford another 4 years of Obama. Fear is a powerful motivator. Lighten up.
The only true poll is on election day. But if someone can find how independents are polling in the battleground states - that will give us our best indicator.
I don’t care about the polls, what I do care about is that Mitt start to step up his game.

Hi Florida FRiend!
Not liking those electoral projections. I think it’s all up in the air at this point. The media is doing their d*mnedest to keep the 0ne in office. I’m taking it all with a grain of salt regarding the polls. I’m in deep blue Minnesota, in an admittedly red county, but no one I talked with over a very busy weekend is for 0bama, and these are just random people I met out and about.
Good point.
Keep at this folks.
And Romney, escalate Ryan in your message. He carries a (lot) of swing vote potential.

The question is what is the effectiveness of the campaign?
How has the “Romney Plan” been working out for Romney/Ryan?
Looks to me that the most likely to vote folks don’t see much difference between Obama and Romney.
The polls reflect the perceived difference between what Obama has done to America, and what Romney plans to do.
Can Romney actually say what he plans to do without comparing his plans to Obama’s?
My guess is that Romney will just continue to describe what Obama has done, and thus act as a perverse salesman FOR Obama’s base who like what Obama has done, and thus be encouraged that the Republicans are unhappy.
The Independent voter will usually vote FOR the incumbent if there is no perceived significant difference between any two candidates: “He may be a devil, but at least we know where he stands.”
Romney cannot compare his ideas to Obama’s, because that ties his and Obama’s ideas together in the mind of an undecided voter in an either-or-knot, and the undecided voter will usually choose the best known, ie, the incumbent.
Thus, it is up to Romney to sell his plan independent of anything tied to Obama. No jokes, hints, or nuances: just straight sales!
Can Romney give a speech without any direct or indirect to what Obama has done?
Can Romney stand and deliver his Romney Plan, or will he just continue to play that old nanny-nanny boo-boo game of “My plan is better than your plan! Nanny-nanny, boo-boo.”?
Tick-tock, Romney. Tick-tock.
Well within what Mark Steyn refers to as the “margin of lawyer”. Or the margin of what can be bought with Student Loan Forgiveness or some other handout program.
I'm all for freedom of speech, but quaking in my boots is NOT an option. Stand strong in the face of tyranny!
The enthusiasm for Obama is way DOWN compared to 2008 here in the Tampa Bay area, and the GOP is really energized.
I think that bumoper stickers are a really good indicator of voter sentiment...in 2008, Obama ones were everywhere, and in 2010, I knew that Rubio was going to win early on, when I couldn't find ONE Crist sticker a month before the primary.
Stay strong, and free..
You ahve a few important Housdwe races...how do they look?
I don’t know the reasons for it but weekend polling is notoriously off and almost always off in the deems favor. This is a trend known to every pollster and goes back decades.
