Obama Plans ‘Around the Clock' Blitz (6 states in 2 days, will call undecideds from AF1)
The Hill ^ | Saturday, October 20, 2012 | Jonathan Easley

President Obama will spend 48 hours campaigning “around the clock” in a frenzied effort to court swing-state voters two weeks before Election Day.

“The America Forward Tour,” beginning Wednesday, will take the president through six swing states and three time zones during a 48-hour period, the campaign said in a statement on Saturday.

Obama will hold “late night grass roots” events, “meet with volunteers” and “talk to undecided voters” in Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, Florida, Virginia and Ohio on Wednesday and Thursday.

“As the President crisscrosses the nation, he will spend time on Air Force One calling undecided voters, rallying National Team Leaders and volunteers and continuously engaging with Americans across the country about the choice in this election,” the Obama campaign said in a statement.

Obama’s final stop will be in Chicago, where he will “make history by being the first sitting President to vote early in person.”

-- Since either obama or Romney will be in the White House come January 2013, any vote not for Romney is [ no matter what the vote caster tells themselves]a vote for obama. --

That statement works exactly the same way if you reverse the candidate names. Any vote not for Obama is [no matter what the vote caster tells themselves] a vote for Romney. Of course, the answer isn't known in advance, but a "not vote" is arguably accepting the results, and therefore is a vote for whoever the winner ends up being.

Yet another gimmick. He wouldn’t have to go to this extreme if his record didn’t suck.

You know, that is one of the biggest differences between the two sets of candidates. One is calm and collected and mature, the other rants and raves and mocks and laughs. It is striking how unhinged POTUS can appear at times, especially considering how everyone always goes on about how “cool” he is.

I don’t know the answer to this, but wouldn’t this be considered a violating the Hatch Act?

Probably. Someone ought to phone the Justice Department. Oh wait...Well, there's always Congress, they're our watch dog! Contact the Speaker of the House!...oh wait...Supreme Court? Oh, nevermind!

If Obama wants to reach undecided voters, he should start phoning them now before Monday night’s debate.

Obama proved in the first two debates that can’t deliver even a passable performance without the help of a Teleprompter and Candy Crowley, neither of which will be present Monday.

So, if there are any undecided voters left today, there are likely to be so few after Monday’s debate that Obama will have to send FBI surveillance teams out to locate them.

BTW, however Obama may be using his time at Camp David this weekend to prepare for Monday’s debate, if he’s still using John Kerry as a debate surrogate, he might as well go golfing. In 2004, John Kerry showed he was unfit for command; this year, he’s been demonstrating he’s unfit to prepare anyone who’s already in command on how to debate effectively.

Yep, I think Romney is going win big, or at least decidedly in November. I have about 1000 rounds of firecrackers that will be going off after the first corrupt MSM type announces that the electorate had a temper tantrum and voted Obama and his cohorts out, way out!

He campaign funds are depleted and he has been borrowing millions. No way that he is going to pay back what he’s stealing from us.

Good plan to keep him from facing questions about losing poll numbers in final days.

Oh yeah, call your unemployed and impoverished undecided voters from the luxury of your private plane. That should work.
