Romney takes lead in Electoral College Projection

[Denny Crane]

I think this deserves a thread by itself. It's rather huge news.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/2012_elections_electoral_college_map.html

Romney has taken his first lead in the Electoral College map on RealClearPolitics.com, 206-201 with 131 EVs as toss ups.

It speaks to the trends.

However, if leaners are included (no tossups), Obama is ahead 294-244.

[EL PRESIDENTE]

didn't you get the memo? he's a bad candidate.

 

[Denny Crane]

The 2nd debate hasn't helped Obama's numbers, yet, in the Gallup 7 day rolling poll.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/157817/election-2012-likely-voters-trial-heat-obama-romney.aspx

Romney 52-45, +7, and that's a wider lead than yesterday (includes another day of polling after the debate).

All Romney needs is VA and OH

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

just wait for the "October surprise" from Obama.

 

[Denny Crane]

All Romney needs is VA and OH

VA is listed as Obama +.8, but the last 3 polls have Romney +1 (ARG), +2 (Rasmussen), and +1 (NBC/WSJ/Marist).

Ohio is within reach, but I do think it's Obama's to lose.

There is no October surprise. It was the 47% video.

I just have to know, and I am being serious, why do you support barry? What has he done that has improved your life?

uhhh.....I don't have an answer to that.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

something is bound to happen. whether it be a skewed jobs report, some bombing or something else.

Rule number one: Never underestimate... the other guy's greed!

 

[DaLincolnJones]

uhhh.....I don't have an answer to that.

really, I read your stuff, I enjoy a lot of your posts, so I just want to know the mindset of someone who, for the most part, I respect.

What part of his leadership has been of benifit to you personaly? Not looking for an arguement, and I will respect any answer you give.

I'm actually quite anti-Obama and have been since before he was elected.

"Users on Fark.com have claimed to have found who is behind this, and says its the same people who were able to Rickroll 20,000 people in 2007."

All those are clearly debatable. Not that I disagree with all of them, but just sayin'.

I read the twitter feed on this yesterday, and it's fantastic trolling.

November surprise will be the jobs report.

You have two distinct classes of things in your list. Rights and ... something some people think govt. should spend money on.

I'm with you on the rights, not so much on the spending (health care, planned parenthood).

 

[donkiez]

Everything in life is debateable, which is how we find ourselves solving the worlds problems on this board. I wouldnt say Obama is my ideal candidate or that he is perfect in any of these topics. Given our choice of candidates however he does lean more towards the people and my way of thinking in these areas. He at least publicly comes out for gay marrage, equal pay for women, and like it or not Obamacare is a step in the right direction, it has made the healthcare issue a topic for discussion. Romneys plan of destroying Obamacare and doing "something else" just isnt enough.

I disagree, I think healthcare and education are human rights. I also think planned parenthood is a social necessity

Human rights do not entitle you to take (health care, service) from someone else. That would be called slavery, even if there's compensation.

Planned parenthood is fine, I just don't think government should pay for it. Certainly not the federal government.

yeah...I am trying not to get into the usual "but dont you understand what he has done wrong" thing. I really want to know why a smart person would line up for more abuse. What is it about the guy that no matter what he says or does, he may winn a seconed trem.... I just dont get it, it is beyond my comprehension...

Yeah, El Prez... why are you an Obama lover?

How are healthcare and education human rights? If you were on a deserted island, who would be responsible for giving you your "rights" of healthcare and education? It just doesn't make sense.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Yeah, El Prez... why are you an Obama lover?

:MARIS61: :MARIS61:

Oh yeah. Going to a Moveon.org rally later tonight! gonna be epic!

Because being President of the US is a position of great power and control. And what married man wouldn't like that for a change?
