I thought the saying was “dead girl or live boy”?
The guy at gallup was on geraldo today and said obama had a good polling day or two that is going to get rolled into the average. its going to shrink a bit to about 3 IMHO in favor of romney in the next few days. DONT BE SURPRISED.
Right. I don’t know why some 3rd party group doesn’t run ads pointed at younger women and single mothers: do u want “free” birth control pills (Obama) or a job with a paycheck so you can buy whatever you please (Romney).
Make it very uncomplicated.
“The only way Romney could lose the election now is to be caught sleeping with a dead boy or a live girl as the wags like to say.”
There is the Gloria Allred rumor. If the rumor is true it would be about a illegal woman who Mitt abused in some way while she worked for him according to Glori. We shall see as that is how she works.
I think the expression originated with former Democratic Governor Edwin Edwards when he was running for a third term as governor:
He told reporters in 1983: “The only way I can lose this election is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.”
Even 2% of the 47% can't stand him.
Don’t get too excited yet - the guy from gallup said some good numbers are going to show fior OTHUG in the next few days.
I won't... we should all be aware of the polling tools and mechanisms of their trade when considering how they [get] move[ed]...
I believe it will be on Monday. Whether you watch Monday or Tuesday, you will have exactly the same probability of hearing the truth from Obama.
It’s actually Monday night up against Monday Night Football, Lions-Bears.
I will not be suprised but some of the usual suspects here(CatOwner,RoseofTexas ) will really amp up the Eeyore act when on election day Gallup has it tied. Its going to happen, they will show Obama winning Ohio, Pa, Mi, Wis and the MSM meme will be "Obama makes a comeback, looks to narrowly win relection". Then election night......330EVs for Romney...they claim conspriracy and Obama does not concede till late, late night if at all.
LOL! This is a rumor of a rumor..you have any way to substantiate this rumor of a rumor?.if not please don't post Jr.
That’s what I am expecting. Romney needs to keep driving home the point that Obama had 2 years of Dem control that gave him many options and instead of focusing on strengthening our economy and our position in the world (and vice versa) he acquiesced to the Left’s feverish desire for socialized medicine. I think that is the most single most powerful indictment of Obama.
Obama will be doing his Command in Chief schtick and saying Bin Laden every 5 seconds. What else does he have?
As we head into the weekend, Tuesday night's debate is now officially "old news" and the focus switched to Monday night's final debate which is in a format more favorable for Romney.
I do think Romney needs to be more aggressive Monday night and needs to correct the record with regard to Libya. Also, Romney needs to stop letting Obama present himself to the voters as a challenger. Romney should not let Obama get away with saying "When I am re-elected, I will do such-and-such..."
Romney needs to point out that Obama has the job now and has had it for nearly four years. Why isn't Obama already doing the things he is promising to do after he is re-elected? This needs to be thrown into Obama's face.
Overall, I do expect another strong performance from Romney on Monday night and Obama might get desperate, as this is his last chance to turn this around.
At this point, the race is no longer Obama's to win. It is Romney's to lose.
“I love that the next debate is foreign policy focused, where Romney will have plenty of opportunity to compensate for failing to score on Libya on Thursday.”
I don’t know; Obama will at least be able to pretend he has experience (even if it is disastrous), while Romney’s background doesn’t have much in this realm. Obama will play grown-up (with the usual trappings: “Let me be clear”, straw men, etc.), and probably point to Romney’s lack of background. Romney has to tie his business experience to the global scene.
Don’t get too excited yet - the guy from gallup said some good numbers are going to show fior OTHUG in the next few days.
Help me out here, I missed the whole Gloria Allred thing - what happened ?
Gloria Allred will try to fix that.
What makes the whole “war on women” theme so lame is that nobody really believes Romney is a social conservative diehard—least of all us folks on FR who spend months and years trashing him as a flip flopper.
