Whatever happened to that whole thing a week or two back about Romney abandoning MI?
I saw that, but that doesn’t answer the questions; are you registered, and are you planning on voting.
I think it can be done. I think there are some states R/R will win that will surprise everybody.
So why does RCP still have Michigan as a “Lean 0bama” state???? A two point lead to me means “tossup”.
As I recall, last couple of OH polls we’re split, but when adjusted for 2012 levels, Romney is up at about the MOE.
3. (Independent): 24.94%
4. (Solid Republican): 19.05%
5. (Leaning Republican): 8.74%
6. (Tea Party Republican): 5.28%
All of the solid Republicans I know are also Tea Party supporters. This numbering makes it look like the Tea Party is a separate entity which it is NOT. I am originally from Michigan, and I know that if you claim to be an Independent in Michigan (or anywhere else for that matter) that means you don't like the democrats and you are looking closely at the Republicans. These are all numbers which favor Republicans.
Therefore, when you add these numbers up you get 58.01%
If you take out the 4% margin of error you get 54.01%
The Lib pollsters are twisting their panties trying to make it look like their boy ain't a goner.
Since Oct 10' I have been saying watch Michigan, I stand by it...
I read an article last week that the Romney’s team has pulled out all ads in Michigan (where they’re more likely to lose) and increasing more ads in Wisconsin (where they’re more likely to win).
So I think the RCP poll was may be part of a plan by the Dems to get Romney to pour more money into advertisement in Michigan.
I could be wrong, but I’m just hoping Michigan would vote for Romney in November.
All signs point to a Romney victory in some of the lean-Obama states.
Make that D +11. This is overtly fraudulent.
These are the polls that have any relevance. We don’t go by the popular vote, we go by the Electoral College. Just ask Al Gore.
The Romney campaign pulled all its ads, everywhere, during the Democrat convention. This is standard practice and not indicative of anything.
A news outlet chose to report the matter as if Romney was conceding in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
In other words, you got gulled by some MSM propaganda...
Are the RATs equally as considerate (or stupid)
Don't be ridiculous. Of course not.
However, it may well be a good tactic to withdraw your advertising while the opposition is commanding the stage.
Your ads simply aren't going to get the same kind of attention that they'd receive in a normal week -- so, it's realistic to reserve the funds and expend them when the ads will be more effective.
My background is in advertising, so I understand the circumstances. Personally, though, I'd want to consider loading up during the Democrat's convention week -- and spending heavily during the actual coverage of the opposing convention on especially produced, highly provocative messages.
But that would be way beyond the imaginations of most political consultants...
How about ads telling the public what the RATs are going to say, what it means and what they are not saying. Exposing their blatant lies even before they tell them.
And then directing the public to watch it so they can see for themselves.
I said "provocative", not "preachy".
However, the subject was approached, it would have to be done with biting humor.
Ideally, you would want the audience looking forward to the next one.
Out-Alinsky the Alinskyites...
Good point. Especially when it’s this close, it’s not so trivial.
There’s a Romney billboard on I-96 in Livingston County, Michigan. I can’t remember seeing billboards for McCain or Bush in Michigan. I’m seeing a lot of “Take Back Our Country in November” signs as well, especially in Grand Rapids.
Because the strongholds of Ohio are Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland. The majority of Ohio is conservative, but we can’t get past these urban cities and their Democratic voters. Plus, I’m ashamed to say this, but my fellow Buckeyes are stupid.
