Have the fake job numbers kicked in yet for Obumblers poll? If not I’m afraid tomorrow’s Rasmussen polls will tell a different story. I’m a bit nervous over those numbers. Any one care to make a prediction what they’ll be??
WOW
Look at Gary Johnson...
Hes on wvwry ballot...
Who is he taking votes from ???
Obama or Willard ???
We also have Virgil Goode and Rocky Anderson on our TN ballot...
besides a couple of others...
I live in Ohio. With the whole coal thing, I simply can’t understand how anyone in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia or Kentucky could vote for him, period. He has vowed to destroy our way of life.
VA Ping!
If you want on/off the VA Ping List, please freepmail me. Thanks!
I find that utterly amazing. Four years ago, "Obama-mania" was at it's zenith, yet we somehow had 17 million MORE people watching the first debate this year! What does that tell you about GOP enthusiasm!
The first debate in 2008 (also moderated by Jim Lehrer) was a trainwreck for the GOP. If you remember, McCain tried to bail on the debate, claiming that he had to be in Washington to deal with the financial crisis (he had actually suspended his campaign!) but reluctantly showed up once it became clear that Obama was going to be there with or without him.
The debate itself was an unmemorable snoozefest with no clear winner though of course the adoring media proclaimed Obama as the winner while McCain grinned and agreed that Obama was a nice guy and that the American people need not fear him being the president.
I guess Obama was also expecting Mitt Romney to submissively roll over and lick his shoes like McCain did. Well Obama was wrong and 70 million Americans got to see him finally put in his place.
Another poll post, just last week.....
My husband and I were in Virginia over the week end (we are from NY) on a road trip to visit our 3L daughter at W &L in Lexington, VA.
We took some scenic routes off the four lane (Natural Bridge, Luray, etc.) and saw many large pro Romney signs - no pro Obama yard signs, and just 2 Obama bumper stickers. In the Shenendoah Valley it appears that the motivated enthusiastic voters are pro Romney. Romney was speaking at VMI yesterday, the day were left, and there was no evidence of an anti Romney rally that we could see.
The Move on Thugs in Ohio are apparently in full panic. Below is an email begging for money for Ohio and a couple of other states.
Dear MoveOn member,
There’s breaking news from Ohio. And it’s not good.
For months, shady outside groups have flooded the Ohio airwaves with almost $20 million in ads targeting Sen. Sherrod Brown.1
And for months, he’s withstood the onslaught, holding on to a six or seven-point lead.2
But this weekend, two new polls came out—one showing a tied race and the other showing Sherrod down four.3
This is, in a word, unacceptable.
Sherrod Brown is a fearless fighter for working people who has taken Wall Street head on, and now he’s paying the price. We can’t let Karl Rove and his big money backers win this one. We cannot let it happen. Can you donate to make sure we keep Sherrod in the Senate?
Yes, I’ll donate $5 to win in Ohio.
Senator Brown isn’t the only progressive who’s facing an onslaught of big money this year.
In Wisconsin, conservative Super PACs are hitting Tammy Baldwin after polls show her taking a small lead over her opponent.4
Tammy’s another great progressive, who led the fight in the House for the Buffett Rule—to make millionaires pay their fair share.5
Her opponent, Tommy Thompson, on the other hand, has spent years working for a D.C. lobbying firm fighting for special interests.
In Connecticut, it’s not outside money that’s the problem. It’s Republican Linda McMahon’s almost unlimited personal wealth. She spent $50 million on her failed Senate bid in 2010 and has already spent more than $13 million this year.6
But Chris Murphy’s values—fighting for campaign finance reform and quality health care—are much more in line with Connecticut’s voters’, and he’s opened a small lead.
These are races we have to win. But Tammy, Sherrod, and Chris need our help.
