Great news! C'mon, Florida... and Ohio...
Bush came within a half a percent in Oregon in 2000. Karl Rove said a few weeks ago that he was expecting Oregon to come in to play shortly.
We need a very clear victory to avoid LA syle riots.
Woah, cool it. Undecided voters do obviously exist. They’re the people who haven’t tuned into the campaign yet, know nothing about Romney, but are unsatisfied with Obama. Believe it or not, there are some Americans who watch no news, read no papers, yet still vote, and 9 times out of 10, they vote for the challenger.
Regarding the Bork Obunga regime proposal to OPEN THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE to grease the skids for his re-election, I hope Romney/Ryan can point out the folly in this misuse of the SPR!
Its purpose is NOT to grease the economy for incumbents. It’s for STRATEGIC NATIONAL DEFENSE-RELATED NEEDS.
Perhaps Romney/Ryan can quip that President Narcissus’s regime needs to open up the “STRATEGIC CAPITALISM RESERVE” and free up individual incentive in our economy rather than the SPR.
My mother is dem n votes conservative. never bothered to chg parties
Obama has ZERO chance in any state he won by less than 55% of the vote, I don’t give a CRAP what the polls are saying, which means the only battleground state that’s really close is WI, which was he won by slightly more than 55%.
I Truly think MI and PA are winnable for Romney if he fights for them, though it does appear he’s conceded PA for now...
I am using PA as my bellweather, if you see R’s start to seriously buy in PA it means they know they have the race won, and are just going for as many extra states as they can get.
As much as folks complain about Romney’s campaign, he’s run a very focused and methodical one from where I sit. He’s locked up IN and NC, IA is effectively locked, Ohio, FL and WI are moving his way as is CO.
I really don’t get all the teeth gnashing and stuff here.. the needle with all the oversampling and nonsense is still moving in the right direction, and the more the press tries to pretend things like saying the truth about Palenstine is a gaffe the momentum toward Romney continues.
Last week they tried to convice us that Romney condeming the embassy attacks was a bad thing, yet Romney’s poll numbers go up.. STOP WATCHING THE PRESS and get out and just talk to people.
Polling averages or just Ras?
I couldn’t agree more with your post 47. I’ve been telling people to have some faith in Romney’s campaign and not be led (misled actually) by the MSM. Romney is picking off Obama 2008 states one by one, yet the narrative so many people are kneejerking to (here and elsewhere) is that he is floundering. My gosh people there is not one single state Obama lost in 08 that he has any chance of winning. He is polling worse in states that he won easily and is losing or tied in about 5-8 states he won last time. Don’t follow the bouncing media ball keep your eye on the prize. That’s what Romney s doing
Yes of course...I was actually being sarcastic...sorry should have made that clearer...
CO is Ras, FL is Gravis, all the most recent.
CO numbers look good on Rasmussen today.
So you are right!
I say that after the second debate, the polls will start giving a more accurate prediction of the election.
In the 2010 Gubernatorial election, the results were:
Republican Scott: 48.87%
Democrat Sink: 47.74
So, in a good year for Republicans, the whole state can go slightly R (not accounting for the quality of the race or candidates themselves).
Romney needs to reconsider not spending any money in Michigan. I’d be interested, if you live in Michigan, to know if any ads at all are running for Romney/Ryan.
You said: “I don’t see Obama having any chance in FL, OH, IA, NC, WI.” I’d be interested in what you think about VA and CO. I think if early “calls” on election night have Romney winning OH and VA, it’s over for all the folks on Plantation Obamaville.
I am not aware of any Ad buys in MI. I am also not seeing any Obama ads so he may be waiting until he starts running ads.
I have to agree with you. I’ve heard so-called Independents call in to talk shows and after they are done spewing, they almost always let you know they are for obama.
I really don’t have enough knowledge about CO to say much more than my original assertion... Obama only got 53.66% of the vote in 2008, so I think he’s got ZERO chance of winning in 2012.
Any state Obama won by less than 5% Obama will not hold, is my general rule of thumb this election. Obama won’t cary Denver and Boulder by over 70% of the vote this time.
Obama came into office on an empty suit and on the backs of Bush Fatique.. he got a lot of votes he never would have gotten otherwise.. Now he’s got to run on his record, and has to own his “PRESENT” votes over the last 4 years where leadership is needed.
So I don’t think Obama has a prayer of holding CO.
In VA, Obama will not win Loundon and Prince William Counties, nor will he carry Henrico county, and will be down in Chesterfield as well. He only got 52.63% of the vote in 08 so going by my general rule of thumb, Obama will lose VA... Republicans have faired very well in every election since 2008.
08 was a blip folks, a perfect storm of Bush fatique, and anti-clinton wing of hte D party, those two things Obama rode to the victory with no record and no accomplishment. 4 years later none of that exists, just his own record of failings.
As a general rule, any state he won by less than 55% of the vote, I feel he has ZERO chance of holding.
Will the Democrat Party be paying for the packs of cigarettes that will be given to street people, in Milwaukee, to go into the polls and vote like they did in the 2000 Election?
