Please add me...thanks!!
I am in Colorado and there are lots of ads by both candidates. What I am not seeing are many bumper stickers, yard signs, etc. from either candidate. Seems kind of odd to me, past years they were everywhere.
Someone here said Obama was running ads in California.
I’ve seen a few on tv in Texas featuring Obama. I think they maybe in an effort to encourage the locals to support the democratic down ticket candidates although that isn’t stated in the ad.
Yup. I’m northern Virginia. Most of the Obama bumper stickers are leftovers from ‘08. I have seen TWO Romney stickers. But then, NOVA is now very, very liberal and chock full of federal employees.
Its not the polls that we should be worried about but voter fraud, dead people voting and intimidation at the polling places. Polls are done to create a news cycle and are spun whatever way they want the results to look best for their candidate. The only poll worth looking at is on election day.
This wasn't a question. Why is there a question mark at the end?
#30 good info. seems clear to me...
Obama is toast, and he knows it.
I'm sure causing the OWS types to riot is the least of their concerns. Polsters who would intentionally try to manipulate an election to get obummer re-elected aren't the type, I would think, that would care what collateral damage their actions caused.
baring massive vote fraud,
he’s wasting his time in PA also...
-
since he knows he’ll lose,
and be going to his $35 million mansion,
perhaps he’s going to Ohio, Virginia,
and PA, just to help the Senate races there.
(he could go to MA and others, but in some,
he would actually hurt their candidate.)

I’m reading an 18% edge for Rs in absentees so far, in NC.
Voter registration in NC is R-31% D-43% I-26%
So there’s obviously a difference in enthusiasm for these very early absentee voters, but I wouldn’t extrapolate too far from this since Republicans have always had more enthusiasm here for absentees, to my understanding.
I watched the absentees come in for 2010 and Dems generally dragged their feet but they eventually started to catch up by the end. That said, if Rs lead at all in absentees in the end, that can only mean we’re in very good shape here what with the big Dem registration advantage and considering the fact that this is a Presidential election. Dems will make up a ton of ground with one-stop voting.
No question Ds will pick up with “early” voting. I predict, nothing like 08. But you are aware that between 08 and now even in NC Ds have lost a lot of registered voters and Rs have gained a lot?
To spend time in these states makes sense. If either candidate wins both of them, they will very likely win. If they split, that would favor Obama. Romney would probably have to win both Iowa and Wisconsin in that case. Ohio should be quite a bit easier to win than Wisconsin, as Obama won Ohio by less than 5% and Wisconsin by over 10% in 2008.
The upper Midwest has been trending GOP for awhile, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Virginia become a blue state, and IA/WI/MN become Red, although it may take a couple of election cycles to get there.
The skewed polls are to suppress GOP fundraising.
Why donate to Romney-Ryan if they’re behind by 10 in Ohio?
OTOH if it’s really a 1 pt game. Who doesn’t have an extra $10 they could send in?
is there any pictures of the crowds at these rallies?
compare Romney crowds to Obama crowds.
I’m Ron Burgundy?
“Im reading an 18% edge for Rs in absentees so far, in NC.

NC was the state picked for the Democratic Convention and for all the millions they spent there, I believe it’s gone.
I had heard that the Dems have backed off advertising there. No wonder if they’re looking at these numbers - just like the absentees coming in for Ohio seem to be going in the opposite way to what they want to see!!
