The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows President Obama attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns the vote from 46%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

Especially Bachmann would be getting destroyed if she was in. Stop spewing kook, fantasy dribble!
Ok there swami.....
Santorum or Bachmann, (or Gingrich, for that matter) would be 20 points behind Obama right now.
The idea that they wouldn't be is a delusional fantasy, but no doubt an attactive one.
All three would be savaged/mocked by the media far worse than Romney has, and would have much more severe "likeability' problems than Romney. Can't conceive of any of the three being remotely attractive to moderates or swing voters.
It's a valid observation if "True Conservatives" are defined as about a half-dozen FR members.
I agree that Romney has to turn up the heat by going after the Marxist like he did with his conservative rivals.
Take no prisoners and make it sting and stain.
OTOH, I think this one is the Marxist’s to lose. The filthy, evil lamestream are doing everything to prop him up and beat down Romney and yet, he can’t break out away from Romney.
The first debate is Romney’s true chance to show his stuff.
Yes, I’m praying.
Only thing more ludicrous is if we were to babble about how Sarah Palin would be destroying Obama. She knew this. I think most divorced wives use this logic.."Oh if I would only married Tad my HS sweetheart my life would have been nirvana."
“True Conservatives are not going to vote in the presidential race, and that’s going to hurt Romney’s chances.”
Every hardcore CONSERVATIVE I know would wade through a swamp of alligators to vote that POS Marxist out of office and I’m sure we aren’t alone.
The other (connected) fantasy is that if a ‘true conservative” had been the nominee in 2008 rather than RINO McCain, they would have won.
Which is just absurdly silly. That was an unwinnable election anyway, based on the economy and dissatisifaction with the wars and GWB, and a “true conservative” would have just pumped up minority and youth turnout out of fear above the astronomically high level that Obama attained, more than wiping out any increase in Republican “base” turnout.
There just aren’t millions of “true conservatives” out there that haven’t voted in a Presidential election since 1984 because they haven’t gotten their ideal candidate (because lets face it, Bush Senior, Dole, and GWB have all been proclaimed RINOs by a lot of people).
something between the 04 and the 08 elections.”
Obviously that is where the art of this comes in. But...that strikes me as spot on. The incumbent is after all a D. So you can expect D’s to come out in sort of the same fashion as the R’s did in 2004. But obviously 2008 was especially good for the D’s and they have nowhere to go but down. And 2010 was especially good for the R’s, because intensity was high and it was an “off year” for the D’s.
But the D’s will raise their vote from 2010 b/c it is a presidential year, while the GOP will stay about the same (or go up slightly...but the GOP vote won’t go up much over 2010).
Which is to say, it seems that a turnout model somewhere between 2004 and 2008 is probably about right.
Personally I believe that Romney has a good shot. But I don’t, ahem, “feel” like he has won. Yet.
Not yet.
But I feel like a tsunami is forming.
They are self-righteous, holier-than-thou FRAUDS. No real conservative will do nothing when their country is at risk for being destroyed for a generation.
Than both of you were against FREEPERS saying that anybody could beat Obama.
Unless Romney goes out of his way to tank this election, he will win
Collective White Guilt and Affirmative Action has won its only election IMO...
I am just wondering, what in the Sam Hell are the undecideds waiting for? What have they NOT seen? What is the mystery to these people?? I do not get it.
Dick Morris video today explains his recent optimism about Romney’s chances: http://www.dickmorris.com/romney-gaining-dick-morris-tv-lunch-alert/?utm_source=dmreports&utm_medium=dmreports&utm_campaign=dmreports
“The first debate is Romney’s true chance to show his stuff.”
I think we should start a thread NOW predicting how each MSM pundit/outlet is going to spin the debates. The winner of the debates has already been decided by the MSM Elite. Why not ridicule them for it?
I’ll start with an easy one:
MSNBC- Obama was cool and came with the facts and connected when he said he just needs more time to work his plan for more jobs and increased standards of living for everyone.
Romney was cold and seemed disinterested and used corporate-speak in an attempt to describe his vague plan of bringing prosperity back to a certain few Americans. The lack of reaction in the hall spoke volumes to the fact his talking points and somewhat racist code language did not land in a manner that was appreciated.
There, that’s my two cents. Anyone else want to take a stab at it?
The undecideds fall into two categories:
So far-—and I repeat, anything can change-—Rs doing REALLY well in absentee voting. Cayahoga, which went 68-30 for Obama (a Dem stronghold) is now at 54-24, a six point drop for Rs but a 14 point drop for Zero.
Hamilton County, which Obama carried by 7 in 2008, is at 2:1 REPUBLICAN absentee requests.
Franklin, which went for Obama by 21 (!!) shows a GOP lead of 5300 and that lead has increased since last week.
