“If it’s not nailed down they’ll take it.
More like, If it’s not bolted down, they’ll nail it... “

My guess is they have already started shipping off site.

If Romeny’s not ahead by 10+ points come mid-October, the People aren’t paying attention.

Hussein NEVER expected that Romneys people would get down as dirty as his peeps. Now he whines that it’s just not fair that he be treated like he treats others. I am worried though that he will demand civil war on “racist” grounds when he’s not reelected.

Everything I have ever heard or read suggests that the “undecideds” tend to break with 75% of them going for the challenger vs the incumbent. Most polls currently show about 4 percent undecided. Given the above, that says 3 percent will go to Romney.

“I can see an R & R landslide on November 6th from my window.”

So, you are saying that R2 (Romney/Ryan) are going to beat B2 (Barak/Biden)

Any poll that shows dropping approval for 0bama is racist.

“Paul Ryan has a secret power that will doom all Dems; he can do arithmetic.”

DOING the arithmetic is not his secret power. His ability to EXPLAIN it is what will doom the Dems.

If R&R wins in November we are not out of the woods. At the very least Zero will unleash a flood of odious executive orders that will have far-reaching and possibly irreparable consequences. At worst-well, we all have good imaginations and know what could happen. We should all stay on high alert until Jan 20. And maybe thereafter.

I wholeheartedly agree. See my tagline..

Some great posts and reasons in this thread...

Let’s add the folks at ‘Crumb and Get it’, the bakery in Radford, Va. who (politely) refused to serve as a backdrop campaign stop for Biden. American workers, citizens, small businesses and military are fed up. I’m beginning to see light at the end of this long dark 4 year tunnel.

Well, Maybe. However, Palin energized the whoha outta conservatives. Heck, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven; but then on election day I was sure I’d died and gone to hell.


Palin paved the way for what we are seeing today.

An in your face, with the facts approach.

No more HOPE ( for what ) and CHANGE ( undefined how)

A numbers guy who can speak plainly is devastating to a slogan man.....

They were counting on a Gentleman Johnny approach .

Instead they got the Gladiator “ Unleash Hell” assault

“Romney is ahead by 5 points nationally at least. Take that to the bank.”

Intrade.com had the Fraud up by 13 last night, now it’s 14.

Whose bank are they using, and what do they know?

The latest polls are encouraging, but I wouldn’t solemnly pronounce “Mr. Romney has overtaken Obama” just yet.

It could be that Mr. Romney is, indeed, moving ahead of Obama, and will establish a solid lead in the coming days and weeks. It could be a bump from a good week or so since announcing the inestimable Mr. Ryan as the vice presidential pick. It could be statistical noise.

Ask me again next Friday. And then, after the convention.

I am hopeful that R&R have a slight edge and will widen their lead, but I am worried about the polling.

Polling agencies are struggling to adapt to more people using cell phones and no home phones. Even Rasmussen raised this concern. If they are having trouble reaching people on cell phones, and oversampling home phones, Romney may not have the edge we think he does.

The polls do seem to be more random this cycle, imho.

I think Dems are especially rattled that a lot of old folks seem to really like Ryan. This totally runs against their MediScare paradigms.

More like R2 (Romney/Ryan) are going to beat D2 (Dumb/Dumber)

The WTOP poll had Obama up 48-46 in Northern Virginia (NOVA).

If it’s already that close, Virginia will go to Romney.

If Romney can keep NOVA from 0 to -5, ROVA will bring home the bacon.
