Romney up 2 in Ohio

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

I sure hope your right .. So your against -

1. Eliminate Excessive Taxes

2. Eliminate the National Debt

3. Eliminate Deficit Spending

4. Protect Free Markets

5. Abide by the Constitution of the United States

6. Promote Civic Responsibility

7. Reduce the Overall Size of Government

8. Believe in the People

9. Avoid the Pitfalls of Politics

10. Maintain Local Independence

You think that's what the Tea Party freaks are all about? You're in for a nasty surprise if Rmoney wins. Them Republicans will be spending like drunken sailors again.

the moderate. he understands he needs dems to things done.

Won't matter. He owes people things. They spent hundreds of millions of dollars on him and will require their payback.

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

I see this as a three way election. So lets assume Obama is out. Which Romney will we get? Romney the conservative or Romney the moderate?

This is a one way election. You get a political hack either way.

The bad news for Obama is this this number or that number. The bad news is that one week before the election the incumbent cannot break above 50% in a major poll.

Many of you were babies the last time I voted for a Republican President, Ronald Reagan, but I clearly recall that ALL the major polls and all the major news magazines at the time (and news magazines were all the rage at that time) called it "too close to call" ONE commentator on ONE radio show I heard (this was before Rush Limbaugh) said "Look, Carter is the President and cannot break 50%? He's a goner, Reagan will not only win, it will be a landslide of epic proportions" They all said he was CRAZY!

Incumbents simply do NOT win when they cannot break above 50% one week before the election.

That said, Americans have extremely short memories and something could happen to change it. I am not sure what, at this point, but the result is going to be a reflection of what people feel on November 6.

The news is NOT that Romney is ahead by 2 points, the news is that Obama is not burying Romney and flatly disqualifying him as a viable candidate. THAT is what an incumbent should do.

7. Reduce the Overall Size of Government

8. Believe in the People

I am in favor of ALL those things. I am voting for Gary Johnson. Neither Obama or Romeny will do any of them.

I have my ballot and i've been deliberating on whether to leave the presidential race blank or vote 3rd party. I'm torn on which is the moral high road so to speak as neither will have an impact unless something like 40% of America does the same and goes third party.

Those things are the Tea Party platform , but yet they are painted as right wing extremists.

I am voting for Gary Johnson because I believe in what he offers and that is all I need. If the rest of the people want to sheep..or lemmings, then go right ahead. I can only do what I can do...but I WILL do what I can do.

Those things are the Tea Party platform , but yet they are painted as right wing extremists.

I am not saying they are extreme, not at all. I am saying neither of the major candidates will do any of them. But neither is a "Tea Party" candidate either. They are political hacks

The latest polls on the toss up states:

Nevada: Obama 50% Romney 47%

Colorado: Obama: 46% Romney 50%

Iowa: Obama: 48% Romney 48%

Wisconsin: Obama 49% Romney 49%

Ohio: Obama 48% Romney 50%

Florida: Obama 48% Romney 50%

New Hampshire: Obama 48% Romney 50%

Virginia: Obama 47% Romney 50%

Currently leaning Obama (Nevada) = 6

Currently leaning Romney (Colorado, Ohio, Florida, New Hampshire, Virginia) = 9 + 18 + 29 + 4 + 13 = 73

Currently no leaning (Iowa, Wisconsin) 6 + 10 = 16

For the non-toss states we currently have:

237 for Obama (37 could possibly come into play in that group - Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Connecticut)

206 for Romney (18 could possibly come into play - Montana and North Carolina)

So with current leanings:

242 Obama

279 Romney

16 up for grabs

If I was Obama I would stop worrying about Ohio and put everything into Florida..That would put him at 271 and he is only 2 points off. Romney has a lot of very "light" leads in his calculation so he will have to shore those up.

My prediction? Obama loses big. It is not going to be a Reagan type landslide, but it is not going to be close. The incumbent cannot have these kinds of problems this close to the election and win. He can not.

They won't raise taxes. They will starve the government further until the the whole ship sinks. They will destroy America while claiming to save it. They're idiots.

[Pooky 3,782]

They won't raise taxes. They will starve the government further until the the whole ship sinks. They will destroy America while claiming to save it. They're idiots.

And voting for the Democrats will ensure that we continue with spending outstripping tax income and we end up in the same place, maybe even a little faster.

Either way, the American public is screwed.

Republicans will retain the House. They won't grab the Senate because they allowed their tea party wing to nominate total fcukheads that will lose what were gimme races in several states. The best odds of getting anything done to improve the fiscal picture is to have Obama win re-election. CEO's of major American corporations believe that and have made that belief public in the Wall Street Journal just a couple of days ago. They know and have made clear that the Rmoney / Ryan framework won't work.
