If you only listen to Fox News and Rush Limbaugh you believe Romney is winning. He's not, he's losing. Both Real Clear Politics and Intrade have Obama with 281 electoral votes with 11 days til the election. You only need 270 to win. Intrade predicted every state correctly in 2004 and had two states reversed in 2008.
Move your cursor over each state "click here" to see the candidates chance of winning. Notice Virginia has moved back toward Obama and has more chance of going for Obama than Ohio does of going for Romney. There have been a lot of one-off polls showing Pennsylvania and Michigan in play, however Intrade shows otherwise. Colorado is a toss up and currently leans Obama. Iowa and New Hampshire are trending Obama, while Wisconsin and Nevada are currently dark blue.
This is a far different picture from the one being painted by Sean Hannity, Dick Morris and Karl Rove. So then why is Romney pulling his punches on Benghazi? It's becoming clearer every day Obama refused to send in a rescue mission because he's haunted by the Jimmy Carter failed rescue attempt back in 1980.
I believe the Benghazi scandal has the potential of becoming one of the biggest in U.S. history. So again, why is Romney sitting with his arms folded? Because he's just as risk averse as Obama. He's terrified the media will again accuse him of politicizing the death of these four men. What, and Obama is not playing politics by withholding virtually all information, for nearly two months, until after the election?
Forget about the politics for a moment, only Romney has a megaphone large enough to force the media to get off their butts. The families deserve the truth and the American people deserve the truth. Once the truth comes out, the political consequences for Obama will be well deserved. If people knew Obama did nothing for seven hours while four of our men were being murdered, the election would be over. The problem is most people don't know. Now imagine how you'll feel on Nov. 7th if Romney loses because he played it safe by letting Obama off the hook on Benghazi.
That gives them a control on who is actually answering their polls ~ and that probably mitigates the low response rate problem.
I'd describe how they must be doing this but that'd ruin it.
Generally, ballots are supposed to be put into a sealed ballot box and not counted until the polls close on Election Day, but who knows if that hasn’t been corrupted by the many election officials along the way.
Great troll-outing post!
Before I even scrolled down far enough to read who posted it, I thought, this has to be Laz.
Sure enough! I love your writing style. Now where ARE those kitties? And the OP for that matter?
If you asked my if Romney will save the country, I would answer no. If you asked be if Obama will destroy the country, I would answer yes. Electing Mitt will allow us, conservatives like those here, to save the country.
You are correct. Even Real Clear Politics has Obama with 290 electoral votes. RCP leans to the right. Colorado was just moved into the Obama column today. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/2012_elections_electoral_college_map_no_toss_ups.html
Dear Admin Moderator, not romney writes stuff than makes me mad. Please beat him up.
Thank you
“Now LONGBOW, on the other hand... to me, he doesn’t seem like a troll. Real misguided, but... that ain’t no crime”
Thank you. Actually I’m not a troll nor misguided. I simply pointed out what intrade is showing. If you don’t trust intrade then look at RCP. They show Obama with 290 even more than intrade’s 281
“hum mm
you trolls begin a topic then suddenly disappear...
typical troll...”
I’m back. What exactly constitutes a troll on FR? Someone who posts something that can be in anyway construed any not 100 percent pro Romney?
“This guy has the states all wrong. The only necessary state yet to be decisive for Romney is Ohio. Colorado is won, Iowa is likely to go our way, and Wisconsin is tied”
If you think Intrade is biased then look at Real Clear Politics. They just moved Colorado into Obama’s column. RCP leans to the right. I hope Romney wins. I just don’t accept the spin coming from the right or the left. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/2012_elections_electoral_college_map_no_toss_ups.html
I heard that moron Romney talking just today about how he will “reach across the aisle”.
The guy scares me.
“If Romney’s playing it safe, it is because he is way ahead.
They are spending a huge amount of money on ads in the remaining close states and still visiting ones where he has a lead to keep them won. They are doing the right things, as far as I see it”
You might be right, but I don’t think Romney has very good political instincts and I think his campaign is run by a bunch of wusses.
“Given your screen name I presume you are hoping Romney continues to play it safe and loses”
Fair enough. I created the ‘not romney’ screen name during the primaries because thought Romney had the least chance of beating Obama. Obamacare could have won this election all by itself but Romney couldn’t use it. If things were reversed Obama would be hammering Romney about Benghazi.
I think Romney is too soft. I think he’s using only a fraction of the weapons he has against Obama.
How can I change my screen name?
lololol
I have to admit, that response cracked me up.
You’re still a troll, but one with a nice retort.
To change your screen name, plebe, you must beg, plead, nay- throw yourself on the mercy of the mighty ruler of Freeptonius Jim Robinson!
or maybe something else.
/sarcasm
I doubt FReepers think Intrade is reliable
Easy, but you have to accept what's given. Such are the rules. How about 'Stanley Dunham'?
“I heard that moron Romney talking just today about how he will “reach across the aisle”.
The guy scares me”
Me too. I think he actually feels more comfortable on the left but is a political opportunist and so that’s why it seems he has no core values. I hope Obama loses becauses he is a disaster. However if Romney wins I’m not sure it will be worth turning over the Republican Party to the rinos for the next 30 years
Hey, Newbie, found a job yet? Posting stuff like this here isn’t the best idea for a resume. It would be more appropriate at the DUmp or Daily Kos. Give them a try. You’ll be much happier.
Vir. is not going Obama.
