  • According to the latest polls, Romney and Obama are tied in the swing state of Ohio and Romney leads in the swing states of Florida and Virginia. They are also tied with "women" voters now... this all sounds like bad news for Barry.

    So rally your respective troops and make sure you all go vote for our next POTUS on November 6, 2012.

    Okay child, here... and it's not even a "right" leaning website.

    Entertainment News, Photos, Videos, Blogs, Movies, Music, TV, Celebrities, Art, Theatre - EnStarz.com

    The latest Presidential Polls for Election 2012 has shown tight contests across swing states with President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney tied dead even in the key swing state of Ohio.

  • The polls look like they will tighten more over the last week..(= a smaller error %)...But the new monkey wrench is what will happen in the NE, after Sandy get's through w/ them.
    It could have a HUGE affect on the election...And depending on how all the chaos plays out...We might not have a clear indication of who's the winner for weeks! (And that's not a good thing for either side!)

    Parts of PA & WV could get up to a couple ft of snow...Flooding & pwr outages across the mid-Atlantic...A complete mess is probably in store for all of us! (great timing, huh?)

    Obama’s independent problem - The Washington Post

    Why is the president having so much trouble with unaffiliated voters?

  • It sure does... I'm sure the Black Panthers will be out on election day to help Obama. After all, they got away with committing the same federal offense in the last election.

  • All 4 of us in my household have participated in early voting this time around. 3 of us went to the Courthouse and personally voted, while my daughter voted by absentee ballot due to being out of state while attending school.
    My wife & kids are brand new naturalized American citizens. They see this election as being the most important election ever. My daughter has even told me, without us having talked it over, that this election is about saving our Republic and her new home. And mind you, she's been in school in Gainesville, FL for the last 4 years before heading out to the Midwest for additional schooling, so you know she has received a steady dose of many different ideas from all sides.
    She kind of surprised me with that comment about "saving "our Republic" and "my new home". Now I know she really has very sharp critical thinking skills and is a very discerning young lady, and that she's proud to be an American citizen.

    lol Indoctrinated them well. Good job. Did she receive a Pell Grant? Any government assistance on those school loans? If so she's voting against her interests. Mitt's idea of college loans is to ask your parents for a loan. That's literal. He wants to end Pell Grants completely. "Save out Republic". What a load of complete horseshit.

    In other news I'm predicting a Romney win. The writing is on the wall. It's close enough now that the repug Nazi thugs at the polling places can steal it.

  • Not so fast my friend...I think people in OHIO will swing this back to Obama.

    I have to believe that when you open w/ a lie & end w/ a lie...It'll catch-up to you.
    Romney's been blatantly lying in his new ads being run in Ohio (about Obama being bad for the auto industry & Chrysler shipping American "Jeep" jobs to China)...You know the auto industry there (UAW) isn't going to take it laying down. There's enough time to get the truth out!

    That and the FEMA statements from his debate response will put the nail in the coffin. Send FEMA back to the states or better yet, the private sector??? shrug How the man can say it's immoral to spend on disaster relief, is beyond me!!

    That's what she said to me. Ans she disagrees with me quite often, which is okay with me as it means she listens, thinks it out and then counters what her Mom or I say. That is what I want her to do.
    Indoctrinated? Not hardly. Contrary to what you believe, I am worlds away from being some Communist or Nazi drone that doesn't want my kids to question anything. If it doesn't pass the look, smell & sound test then they both know to start asking questions. And they do.
    Believe what you will. She said that all on her own. Like I told you before, she's very discerning.

    The only truth the man has said in years is that he'll kill big bird and he's still this close. I don't see why it'll suddenly catch up with him. It never has. On a side note I've said this once and I'll say it a million times more... nothing on this planet is dumber than the independent voter.

  • Looks like North Carolina has pulled back into toss-up after leaning Romney for a few days. Obama still maintains a 4% lead in Ohio. I wouldn't worry if I were you Carl. You'll get what you asked for and we'll all get what we deserve.

    *sigh*

  • It's about to get ugly...GM & Chrysler fire back at Romney's "Misleading" Ads (if not outright lies)...So, The Koch Bros are now dumping $$$Millions on new attack ads in every swing state they can...The polls may just swing back closer to even-steven, if they find one that sticks! (Man, it's going to be a long week people!)

    catcard202

  • Romney is still running that chrysler ad even after it's been widely declared an outright lie. You know where he got the chrysler idea? A right wing blog. Rachel Maddow had a really good segment on how he got the information and about how anything written by anyone can now make it into a presidential election. About how wrong and scary that is. Romney knows it isn't true. He knows saying that Obama stopped the welfare to work is a lie. He keeps saying it anyway. He is truly a disgusting human being. Just a liar with no core principles or beliefs. He's nothing but a human weather vane disguised as a game show host. I'm disgusted by anyone that votes for him. Now that is getting ugly.

    LMAO!!!!!! That's the best description of him I've ever seen.

    Now. I'm still voting for him and I don't care that u think of me for that. Because whatever Romney is, Obama's far worse. I mean, he is black afterall. Lol.

  • Not baiting. It was a joke, since Carl and everyone in the mainstream media seems to think tha t if you're against Obama, its because you're a racist.

  • BS...There's plenty to disagree about w/o it being race related.

    That's what I originally wanted to put, but forgot when I was typing it and was too lazy to fix it. Say what you will about Sarah Palin, but "lamestream media" is a classic. Lol.

    How about this one for a racist, yet, funny joke...

    "Thank God Obama is only half black... otherwise, we'd be twice as screwed" (now if you don't think that's funny, you need to get the hell outta here)

    Does telling a joke like that make me a racist... or just someone who appreciates comedy? I hear many black comedians tell racist jokes about whites and everyone else... and I still laugh my ass off. Even when I know their joke is aimed directly at me... cuz to me, funny is funny. People need to lighted up.

    ANOTHER JOKE-A-DEE-JOKE!!!!

    I almost forgot... only white Liberals are allowed to make light-hearted racist remarks (while trying to be funny) and get away with it, but a white Conservative?... OH HELL NAW YOU DI'UNT!!!.. HE'S A TEA-BAGGING, GUN TOTE'N RACIST... HE SHOULD BE SHOT!!!
