The least noticed but perhaps most telling aspect of the campaign is that, in the past five weeks, Obama has spent more than ten days visiting Iowa.

His focus on Iowa is remarkable.

He clearly needs it but worries he will lose it.

That he needs it indicates the upper Midwest has swung strongly back to American values and, thereby, Romney.

The pundits are silent on this Iowa focus, but it is important.

lol...did the article forget to tell us that the “welcome to” was so tiny compared to the “Obama Sux”? It was great!

...when he was trying to explain that government - not businesses - constructed public infrastructure on which the economy relies...

Can't you just feel the lib writer seething behind these words?

You’re right, it’s already got more recognition than he ever dreamed of, so it served its purpose. I have it saved for posting.

Obama promptly called in an air strike and the offending hangar was leveled.
The the SS dragged the owners to the terminal where they were summarily excuted with a pistol shot to the head as horrified passengers looked on.

" Republicans have used the four words to attack Obama as out of touch with the realities of owning and operating a small business."

That is a lie!! Republican rightly have identified Øbozo's remark as an expression of his Marxist belief that it is government, not individual effort that powers progress.

From your mouth to God’s ears that he is in trouble. But I really think that he is. I was out knocking on doors today for the campaign in deep blue territory. There were tons of folks who would not open doors to us. But there were also folks who were offering us bottled water and about a 50/50 response for our side including some new volunteers. Given the area we were in, I was so inspired by the response.

How does a banner specifically aimed at Obama serve as a reminder that it’s a tight race? The writer combines several assumptions and makes conclusions despite a lack of supporting evidence. In fact, the lead sentence contradicts the rest of the paragraph.

I know it’s standard media procedure but the horse race cliche is exactly that especially when the evidence is mounting that Obama is clinging to any sort of chance only through the power of incumbency, racial guilt, and far too many dupes who still think D = party of FDR and Truman. It has to keep them up at night to think that they can’t even assemble hand-picked crowds this time.

Once again the corrupt MSM becomes an apologist for Obama.

First, the writer deliberately misrepresents what Obama actually said, and what he said beyond those four words was even worse and more insulting.

Second, anytime Republicans have the goods on Liberals, the corrupt MSM always portrays Republicans of “using” it for crass political purposes. Conversely, Democrats are never characterized as doing anything - even when they clearly are - for partisan gain.

Just more or the corrupt MSM’s ongoing partisan tactics and abject dishonestly.

The big question is why Kenyan is blowing his whole wad for less than 10 electoral votes.

There were an incredible 5,571 comments on that yahoo/ABC article at the time I made this post and they were OVERWHELMINGLY against Obama! It really does seem like a shift of sentiment is underway. A really BIG shift!

Just for the official record, not trying to make a personal comparison.... , but this Iowa fetish at the expense of many other States, is reminicent of Hilter’s nuttiness in micro managing the battlefields inspite of his generals better judgemnent.

You know, it could be fun to give Obama a welcome at every airport in the nation. It's not like we don't have the people to do it.

SFO, LAX, etc., and a little imagination..

Yeah, yeah, yeah ... if the government hadn't built roads, Henry Ford wouldn't have built the Model 'T', and if the government hadn't produced air, the Wright brothers wouldn't have built their airplane.
