New York Times numbers guru Nate Silver says recent polling clearly shows President Obama as the front runner. While the lead may be small, Silver concedes, likening it to a one-touchdown lead in football game, “late in the fourth quarter, that can become pretty meaningful especially if you have kind of have possession of the football.”
“Obama got a convention bounce and it seemed like his momentum was flagging a bit and then frankly since [Romney’s] 47 percent [comments] came out, now you’re seeing Obama with numbers as strong as they’ve been all year,” he said.
Silver, who puts the president’s chance of winning re-election at 80 percent, has gained a reputation for his political prognosticating. In 2008, he correctly picked 49 out of the 50 states in the presidential race, as well as the eventual winner in all 35 senate races. His new book, The Signal and the Noise, looks at, as the subtitle suggests, "why so many predictions fail - but some don't."

Got the book in the mail today, been reading it between phone calls and trips to the water closet, cant wait to get some real time to dig into this.
Chris,
Don't forget to flush your Mitt when you're through with the water closet.
Obama 2012/Romney 1040
Article heading should read:
PRESS PASS: OBAMA.
Pretty bad when the Obama campaign has to go to the cistern to get votes.
Care to elaborate and/or present some digestible evidence, Ido, or have you just given up reasoning altogether and decided that the only way to channel your frustration over Flip Flop's imminent defeat through your comments is to be as childish, whiny, and unoriginal as humanly possible?
Andres: It should be obvious that "whine" is a favorite of the right. Isn't that all we heard from Romney at that $50,000.00 dinner?
I would call it the 47% dinner by Carter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
obama has always had All 57 states clearly voting for him...one muslim to another!!..Madonna said so it must be true!!
Why are SOOO many documents sealed by this transparent Prez??
No college transcript, NO ifo on his disbarment in ILL.,..No release of Fast& Furious info--claims executive privilege== if I tell the truth it would hurt my campaign!! No release of the the murdered Ambassador Stevens cables....it was not Islamic Terrorists--they do not exist, like the Mafia myth-- The list just keeps getting bigger!!
After 4 years all we know about BOZOhussen is that he wrecked the economy, raided the treasury, killed job growth, attacked the middle class--no homes, no gas for your car to go to the job that he outsourced, increased food stamp holders ( NOT a prosperous employment!!), IslamicBros kill Americans--no problem!! His family has cost the USA tax payer $$$7 Billion for vacations!!
National debt $$ 16 Trillion, he can not even count high enough to figure the zeros on that one!! Down grading of USA credit==less in retirement 401K and inflation at the the supermarket!!
The guy would really be a joke, if was not SOO SAD and terrible for the country!!
Yet the sheep followers shout OHAbhaaammmmma, OOhaaBhaammmaa!!! I am entitled to all the "free" stuff!!
It is apparently the Socialist are very gullible with Obama and don't want to see the real Obama. It is so obvious that this man is incompetent, inexperienced, dishonest, habitual liar, no skills what so ever domestically and internationally. The ONLY reason the liberals(socialist) are so oblivious to the fraud we have in the WH, is he is supporting these FREE LOADERS at taxpayer expense. We are definitely on the path to a communist regime and only the TRUE AMERICANS will eventually do something to over come this Nazi America. There will be a REVOLT in the future in the direction America is going. G*D help these PATHETIC SOCIALIST that have their head in the ground!
Whew, ole "border joe" must be a kissin' cousin to "Lyin Ryan" base upon his penchant to take a grain of salt and turn it into a salt block.
Dude, or dudette, chill before you have a stroke or something.
Classy posts full of factual information and polite observations. I can dream, anyway. Guess school got out early today.
border joe - since several of the items you post can easily be confirmed as inaccurate or misinformation, you waste your opportunity to levy potentially legitimate criticisms. (See: Snopes.com re: Obama law licenses, See: factcheck.org re: college transcripts, etc.). When you mix silly/disingenuous with potentially legitimate, the potentially legitimate gets ignored. So what is the point in even posting other than to come across as either a troll or a rabid talking head? <- Only those that already agree with you are going to see any value in your comments...
Border Joe. I will try to explain a few things to you. Others on all kinds of articles have been trying, but you do want to listen.
Why should he release College Transcripts when no one else has to. It is not required to become President of the United States of America.
President Obama has not killed anything or anyone except bin Laden and quite a few of his followers.
The debt does not belong solely to President Obama. We did have presidents before him adding to the debt constantly. Take what was the debt when President Obama took office. Add on the Bush wars (2) and Medicare Part D that President Bush did not have on the books. Add, the stimulus to the debt.
Subtract the many jobs that were saved, plus the banks. I don't know the numbers but to blame our President of the United States for all the debt is just, well, just insane.
The stock market keep climbing. The jobs, although slow, are gaining.
Regarding Libya. When YOU become President of the United States you can tell everything to the people, even if it not in the best interest of the U.S. You are not in the Oval Office. You do not have the Presidents phone to your ear.
President Obama did not downgrade the United States rating: It was the House of Representatives per S&P.
As to the deaths of Chris Stevens and the other three. I am so sorry for the families. But, they are heros in the light that they were serving overseas. They knew the risks, especially the ex Seals, that is why they took the jobs.
But, you nor anyone else have a right to know everything that is going on in the White House, the militiary, the State Department. The CIA, FBI or any other department within the government.
Romney and company would like nothing better to do than to start a war with Iran right now. He thinks that he is president already.
I will help keep a cool head as president.
Obama/Biden 2012
Hillary/Sherrod Brown 2016
Folks, this post from border joe has been cut and pasted in its entirety on at least two other threads. Apparently, he/she is bent on putting his/her illiteracy before the broadest audience possible.
Fuzzy-0457, I dare you to provide us with a textbook definition of "socialism" then give us three concrete examples of things that President Obama has done that meet this definition. President Obama took the unemployment rate from 10.5% under W & the repugs to 8.1%. He took us from losing 750,000 private sector jobs a month thanks to W, John Boner, and the Tea Baggers to gaining about 150,000 a month. We've had a net gain of nearly 5 million private sector jobs since President Obama has taken office. Because of President Obama, Osama bin Laden is dead and GM is alive. Mitt the Twit wanted to let GM go bankrupt. W let bin Laden get away so he could start his illegal, stupid war in Iraq. President Obama will go down in history as one of the greatest Presidents of all time. W will be remembered as a cross between Herbert Hoover and Richard Nixon. Your party will lose in November. The Repugs and Tea Baggers will lose the Presidential election, they won't reclaim the Senate, and they will lose the House. In 2013 we Democrats are going to control the Presidency, the Senate, and the House, then, if the Democrats will grow a backbone and abolish the filibuster we can see some real work get done. The reason we aren't in better shape than we have been is that the Repugs have controlled the House and they've filibustered everything in the Senate.

DO YOU THINK OUR COUNTRY IS RUN BY IDIOTS ???
Lets start putting Gov Gary Johnson in all the polls since he has electoral viability. On the ballot in 45 states with 3 pending from RNC challenges. Please stop blatantly ignoring a serious factor in the American Presidential Race. He has filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the debates since they have become anti competition and are excluding a voice of the American people. I am one of those people a USAF Desert Storm Veteran Dhahran SA I stood in war, I say Peace needs a bigger voice no more war. Stop all the extreme coverage of a small radical group and label them terrorist and scare Americans in their beds. NDAA, Patriot act, these are an errosion of Rights for temporary security we just dont need. What we need are morals and conviction to do good in the world not what has been done before. Peace at all costs Live Free! I will vote for Gary Johnson 2012.
Who's Gary Johnson? (And therein lies his problem.)
He' the Libertarian candidate. His only positive attribute is that he's pro-pot.
You might look at an earlier 3rd-party run, the Nader candidacy in 2000.
His candidacy gave the election to W, the single worst president in US history!
See Wikipedia re Ralph Nader, o ye of short memory.
Reconsider, man.
Gary Johnson on ballots will get the overwhelming bulk of his votes from persons who normally vote republican and cannot stomach the Mittens.
I agree with that. A lot of Libertarian leaning Republicans are thoroughly cheesed off at Mitt and the Republican hierarchy, for the rude and disrespectful way that they handled Ron Paul (Sr.) in the weeks leading up to Tampa, if not at Tampa itself. Of course, the Libertarians do have several areas of contention with the ruling Tea Party faction, chief among them that Libertarians are not war mongers.
Bad Tea killed Romney, that little worm Ryan destroyed Romney's run for President !!!!!!!!!!!
This is for Fuzzy - You CANNOT BE A COMMUNIST AND A NAZI THEY ARE OPPOSING IDEOLOGUES, YOU FRIGGIN IDIOT! You have never heard of WWII? I doubt you are a hard working tax payer, you sound like someone who does not know that Romney was talking about you.
It's a little late to put someone on the ballot; some states have already started early voting.
Bill-314065
Ever heard of Hitler. He was a dictator! So you may want to reread the paragraph because being a liberal you more than likely didn't get an education. You liberals love to twist everything around to suit your warped mentality. You are very hateful people as well as DELUSIONAL. As well as a job, I am sure I make a lot more than you being on Welfare. You are probably from a generation or two Welfare family and just another FREE LOADER!!! I feel for your lack of common sense, as I can tell you are very bitter that you haven't amounted to anything..
Fuzzy, your name is perfect for you. Lots of fuzzy stuff in there with no substance.
WHATEVER liberal. Your opinion doesn't amount to anything! YOU ARE DELUSIONAL.
Fuzzy-0457, all you can do is call names because your positions are so weak that you cannot defend them, so you must resort to ad hominem attacks. You are proof that conservatives lack the intellectual faculties to have a series conversation about the issues, and have no real idea what you are talking about, but are just parroting what you've heard on Fake News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity. No one will ever take you seriously.

I have a feeling that Silver's book will be the "Game Change" of this election. Go Nate!
Nate Silver won't change anything, he only makes predictions. Obama will win, but he was on that path anyway.
@VirginiaDemocrat,
Statements like that make me wince in embarrassment for you. "Game Change" was a non-fiction book, later made into a movie about the 2008 Presidential Election. I was not implying that Silver's book would change anything, but rather that it was likely to be a widely read book. Could you at least think for one second before posting your nonsense?

Now the news is reporting that Obama new that the Libya attack was a terrorist attack on the next day. The president of the United States LIED to the PEOPLE! Impeach Obama! You can't believe a word he says. He is a corrupt Chicago scoundrel, aka Democrat! The MOB!
Every time people like you hear something you don't like you start shouting for impeachment. Do you even know what it means?
For all you know, there may have been an intelligence gathering reason for not letting on what we know or knew. So, because you don't get the briefings, you cry out for impeachment?
Better check your meds Jamie! They are clearly not working for you.
Is Jamie Alvarez kidding? Being in the responsible position of having to govern the country, the President and his cabinet have to actually be sure of what's going on before they go off half-cocked, unlike some cheap-shot candidates I know. (Maybe Alvarez is kidding - his post is hysterical enough to be satire.)
That's tantamount to saying we should have impeached W. for the whole "Mission Accomplished" fiasco.
And no -- we shouldn't have.
Double post, sorry.
In the past, republicans especially gave the president leeway in matters of National Security. We always figured that he might know something that he couldn't divulge...why doesn't Obama get the same consideration? Since the attack the Libyan government has arrested over 50 suspects....maybe that wouldn't have been done if our president had gone around shouting "they did it"....it's Mitt Romney's job to jump the gun; it's the presidents job to stay cool and do what's right for the country.
Fox has it's mental midgets all worked up. They have been showing the embassy attack with scary music in the background and flag burning 24/7. A conservative mind is so easy to scare.
I don't call for his impeachment. I call for his indefinite detention under the NDAA for aiding and giving comfort to terrorist groups like the muslim brotherhood. Does anyone know who is authorized to arrest him under this provision. It needs to be pursued.
Jamie Alvarez
Oh seriously. None of us had or have all the information. Are some of you so naive and out of touch with reality that you think that all presidents spew forth everything they hear or that might be, or that they hope might be true without thinking first if it puts anyone in danger or if it's actually true, not to mention if it's appropriate to divulge at a given time? I have seen some presidents do that, but this one doesn't spew forth whatever comes into his head, and for that we should all be happy.
Some just spout nonsense they heard or read somewhere and think that makes it all true. Wow. Rants and raves and all this indignation.
http://www.factcheck.org/2012/08/does-obamas-plan-gut-welfare-reform/
Question: Does anybody else fine it ironic that Republicans who generally fall strongly on the side of States' rights would lambast a Presidential directive that gives more flexibility to individual states with regard to how they implement welfare?
Don't let the facts stand in your way when you can intentionally slander a candidate you disagree with.
I say impeach JamieAlvarez from posting here, he is stupid and poison. Just for the record you stupid sh!t, fox news is a propoganda machine, not a credible news organization. Change the channel jerk.
Right Jamie: We should be a Banana Republic. Label one party all scoundrels and impeach their leader based on no evidence whatsoever. Obama did not LIE. Some leaders actually investigate facts before running their mouth a/k/a MITT the robot.
obama is poison........and all the pollsters will be in shock come election day.........
And Willard's a RINO and his magic underwear won't save him.
The only thing that will shock pollsters is that Obama will win by a bigger margin than predicted.
mcpaddywack, you know you can put your money where your mouth is. There are several sites that will give you huge odds in a payout if you are right.
Even Laura Ingraham over on Fox news last night said 'let's stop kidding ourselvers; the polls are right'...of course she thought the Magical Mittstery Tour could save itself in the debates; but what are the odds of that!
@Yankee Boy,
But perhaps his SIX grandmothers will!
No No No... It will be from the planet he gets to rule when he dies.. Uranus
@Ninja,
No, no, no ---- Romney is associated with the planet Kolob (you know where God lives and only Mormons can go.) Topo bad, no ninjas allowed.
Obama is poison? WTH? What does that mean?
Romney is a flip-flopper, he has multiple personality disorder.
All pollsters will be in shock come election day, meanwhile I'll need electric shock therapy when President Obama is reelected.
"Romney is not pro-choice, he is multiple choice"
O&JOE
Obama is a want to be Hitler. But Obama is a puppet for George Soros and doesn't have the final word. Obama isn't a fraction as smart as Hitler and will lose before it is over!
Fuzzy, you stuck a bunch of words together and think it makes sense. It doesn't.
Rather George Soros and not Koch Brothers, Karl Rove, Pat Robinson, and many more.. Koch, Karl and Pat are throwing good many after bad. Oh, lets not forget Addelson (sp).
@hummbird,
That's Multiple Policy Disprder. Similar, but it involves compulsive use of an etch-a-sketch.
ram-762581
This just proves the typical Liberal ignorance to the facts and truth. We know liberals can't understand since they are oblivious to reality! And only think of themselves and there Welfare check. Totally in Denial!
Fuzzy...you are hilarious:) That would be "their" and not "there", by the way. But don't let reality get in your way;)
It's hilarious reading the posts from Teabaggers.
Obama is winning and they can't take it.
They have a candidate (R-Money) who they don't like, and who looks down on them.
Blame whoever you want, teabaggers, but you are your own nightmare, and reap the rewards of your racism, your stupidity, and hate.
When Hitler realized the world had defeated him - he blew his own brains out.
What will you do?
Know-nothing hate speech against our legitimately elected President belongs somewhere else, maybe in North Korea.
Compare with previously chosen-by-Supreme-Court (who had no business meddling in state elections) President.
Haters -- get over it. We have a precedent-breaking black President. His picture will be in all of the history books as long as there's a USA. If, as appears to be happening, he is reelected, he may go down in history as one of our great Presidents. Just look at his amazing accomplishments with the do-nothing party fighting every one of them (even ones that were their ideas) every step of the way. Imagine if the do-nothings were out of the way.
Remember, it was the Republicans that told us, during the Bush era, that if one ever disagrees with the president, it means one hates America and has vicariously joined al Qaeda.
It makes one wonder, why do Republicans hate America so much?
Tea Party Republican memories don't go that far back.
Considering they notice NOT the flip flops of Romney nor the deficits of the Bushs.. I estimate their memory to be only since the last time they checked the in box for Karl's talking points OR ... last time they watched Fox News.
That would be about 5 minutes.
Eric, you're right there; but, it spread from the tea party to establishment republican!
It makes one wonder, why do Republicans hate America so much?
^ Indeed their patriotism does not seem to be to our great country, or our fellow citizens, but rather only to their twisted ideology.
For the worst of them, this allows them to advocate violence against anyone who disagrees with them.
They are America's Taliban.
uewww! let's have some tea! hi there!....ummm...would you like some tea? How bout you sailor?
First, it was "the lame stream media"!
Then, it was "the pollsters are mistaken, they weigh affiliation wrong on purpose"!
November 7, it will be "How could the American voters do this again? It must be that there is 51% victims!"!
But it will never, NEVER, NEVER be that their ideology and candidates suck.
The people screaming that the pollsters are weighing affiliation wrong don't understand that the pollsters call people at random and ask them what party they are affiliated with....it seems that those who used to be republican are calling themselves independents these days and people who used to be independents are calling themselves democrats. I've been through the whole process; I was a lifelong republican until GW lied us into a war that killed 4000 of our service people, than I registered independent, since I just moved and had to re-register I took the opportunity to go all the way---new, proud democrat!
But it will never, NEVER, NEVER be that their ideology and candidates suck.
^ They hide the obvious from themselves by ranting all the more.
Nate,
You still haven't answered why the Obama campaign shared with you all the inside internals and used that information to post your predictions.
You've been called out dude.
Romney falls for he has made it, e.g. his unemployment more than 2 years without looking for jobs, and his foreign saving accounts.
Well, what would have been a reasonable time in which President Obama should have turned the horrible recession and employment around? Let's look at the view of someone Romney can't possibly reject....Romney himself: org/2012/07/wire/gov-romney-its-silly-to-expect-economy-to-turn-around-overnight/
Obama is going to lose. He has record unemployment, record deficit, record welfare recipients, record number of food stamp recipients, fewer people employed than when he took office 4 years ago, and is setting a new record for audacity in not claiming any responsibility for any of it.........AND he wants the American people to give him another term to deliver more of the same? Either he's nuts, or he thinks the American people are.
You could have been right except for the fact that no electable republican ran in the primaries so the GOP is stuck with the 47% hating, unelectable Romney.
Obama/Biden 2012

Yeah keep pulling that lever. Every time you do, we get a step closer to that European utopia that is crumbling as we speak.
Yeah keep pulling that lever. Every time you do, we get a step closer to that European utopia that is crumbling as we speak.
And mrk, it is crumbling because of policies we will see if Mr. Romney gets into this office.
Alwayright2, you bet your as$ I want more of the same, positive growth instead of loss, jobs being created instead of shipped over seas, lots of goods reasons to vote for Obama and not one single reason to vote for Romney. The people who vote for Romney are a bunch of hateful racist, end of story.
Obama is going to loose. No one in their right mind would vote for that idiot.
alwaysright2
I hope so, but Obama has made it easy to get the support from the government for people out of work. What he has done is "BOUGHT" the vote! These people are like LOST SHEEP and have sold their souls, and everything to Obama. They are like the liberals that put there TRUST in Jim Jones. And we know what happen there, when the sheep drank the Kool Aide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liberalism is a disease for the weak!!!!!!!!!!!
So if Mr. Romney wins it will be because he is amazing, people love him, and his policies are what this country needs. If Mr. Obama wins it will be because of sheep and Jim Jones. Do you truly not see that your comments are all based on your emotional reactions? You truly don't think there is no one who has "bought" Mr. Romney? No one he answers to or would want to favor?
How about you just like one group's policies more than the other? That is fine..you don't have to insult all the people who don't think as you do.
Romney is toast. No policies, no record that he can run on, idiots for advisors, and a sock puppet of Big MOney Corporations.
ram-762581
No accounting for liberal common sense. Mark my words, Americans will pay DEARLY if Obama wins! Liberals are SOCIALIST and have NO idea what they are talking about. If they did, they could explain with FACTS and intelligently and not place the blame on everyone but themselves. Liberals are in Denial, irresponsible and totally not facing Reality. Those are facts liberals reject,but can't substantiate there position.
Fuzzynuts...feel free to move, do it soon because the "American" people are going to throw the garbage out and you might not land on your feet when you hit the ground.
Fuzzy, you astound me with your blazing intellectual discourse. Perhaps, "yeah, but back at you and I have no clue what to say except make sweeping and inaccurate generalizations" would be more appropriate.
Voiceinmyhead
Since you liberals are so smart, you must have missed all the comments from the media that labels liberals as SOCIALIST. Everyone else are TRUE AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!
I recommend you move to Kenya with Obama so you can clean his feet as one of his slaves.
And when he wins, you may have to consider the proposition that you and your Tea Party buddies are the idiots.
Record deficits
Record low workforce
Record amount of people on government assistance
Extremely low GDP growth
etc....
You want to re-elect the man who has made things worse and you think the Tea Party are the idiots? Did you get an "Obama phone"?
Deficits caused by 2 unfunded wars, unfunded tax cuts that did nothing for the economy, unfunded Medicare part D and a deep recession as a result of disastrous economic policies from the guy in charge before.
Who was it that turned the economy around from its collapse under the previous president?
The 'Obama phone' program was actually started by the previous president and is not paid for by the government.
Why do all these teabaggers always pretend that nothing bad happened before Obama became President?
@mhejhn,
I assume that's short for Mujihadeen and you just couldn't spell it.....
But with four more years of Obama followed by eight years of Hillary and the GOP will have 12 years to get rid of the Tea Party trash.
mhrjhn
You are talking documented FACTS! Liberals do not accept facts or Reality. We are wasting our time to ignorance. They cannot substantiate anything at all. Obama has gone down in history lower than Carter. FACT!!
I see some trolls are out in force here:)
ram-762581
You must have looked in your mirror before it cracked.
Did Mr. Silver also predict the outcome of the 2010 election correctly? I correctly predicted the winner of the Kentucky Derby one year, does that make me an expert?
Want the economy to turn around? Re-instate Glass-Steagal and break up these "to big to fail" companies!
Actually, he mostly did:
#2010_U.S._mid-term_elections
TEApublicans are DELUSIONAL and DESPERATE. They will say ANYTHING wether it's true or not. Usually, it' NOT!
The comments from the GOP CLOWN SHOW audience shows that they are clearly living in sone ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE. Trusting their DEMENTED thinking is One Foolish Idea!
Mitt (dog-on-the-car-roof) Romney is going to lose BIG and they can't stand it.
The GOP has very little hope this election. They have gone out of their way to alienate voters, They have pissed off Women,Blacks, Hispanics,Gays, the poor,And Union Workers. That doesn't leave much left for Mitt except hard core Christians and the raciest an bigot vote and there just ain't enough of them.
And still so many will vote for Mitt and vote the same lazy crazy unpatriotic tea partiers back into the congress to continue to incapacitate our democracy.
Don't forget where this president stands in the "terrorist" issue...not only has he killed Bin Laden, but he has killed more terrorosts than the past 5 administrations...maybe more...put together. Al Aquaida has been devastated, as have all tht lieutenants of the major cells. He is the most mericlless when it comes to terror...so to look at The Arab Springs crisis as somehow his doing is ludicrous. If you are a terrorist today, you will likely be a dead one soon under this president's leadership...
Is that why he is entertaining the Muslim brotherhood in the white house? Is that why he just declared the terrorist group NEK, a non terrorist group? Is that why he, along with many of our congressmen agreed to continue to send money to this terrorist organization? Is that why he is conducting drone warfare in many nations, killing many innocents along with whomever they declare to be terrorists. I am sure that funding these radical Islamist groups in Libya and Egypt has nothing to do with their dislike for us either. The guy in the white house is a muslim trojan horse. Why else would he send out this warning to non muslims just days ago at the UN " The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."
Oh, mrk. Don't you get tired of answering everything anyone says with a long list of anything you can think of to insult him? He isn't Muslim no matter how much you want him to be. If you don't like him, fine.
Ram I put mrk on ignore, have also done the same to almost all the idiots who spout crap, makes the reading a lot more understandable, less garbage. Soon as some idiot states they believe our President is Muslim, that is when I know they are beyond sanity. They are like that trailer trash bitch that John McCain called out for saying the same thing. Maybe they should talk to John McCain so he can bitch slap them also.

Ram is an appropriate name for this liberal idiot. He must be one of Obama's agitators to ram his crap down everyone throat. Typical liberal or I should say SOCIALIST!!!!!
Kyle Rove believes the polls and since he holds the money his opinion is more important that Romney/Ryan. Rove pulled his money out of PA about a month ago because the polls correctly showed Obama with an insurmountable lead. He is giving Romney until after the first debate and if Romney is still losing Romney is done and all money will be shifted to senate/house candidates. BTW isn't it clearly obvious that Obama will wipe the floor with Romney in the debates. Romney has no credibility or style.
Nate's statistical analysis on Five Thirty Eight is impressive.
I concur that this year the election comes down to 3 states, Ohio, Virginia, and Florida.

Ought to be interesting how George Soros is going to handle the debates. Obama must have a pocket teleprompter or ear bud for George to respond to the questions.
Romney's etch-a-sketch doesn't work.

At least Romney knows how to use one, unlike you liberals. Liberals have everything done for them by the government due to LACK of common sense and education!
Actually Fuzzy, liberals statistically are usually the more educated than conservatives. 94% of scientists consider themselves liberals. You have not given one good reason I should vote for Romney, and the fact is in order to convince independents like myself they need a workable plan.
Romneys plan according to economists will not cut spending, will not cut the deficit and will not create jobs, it will simply be a major tax cut for the wealthy and war with Iran. He wrote off 47% of this country, most of them that he wrote off do pay taxes in one way or the other. He wrote off the elderly and he wrote off veterans that serve our nation. If he can't be the president for veterans he doesn't need to be the commander in chief of our military.
An Etch a sketch is quite simple to use, stop watching fox news. They are owned partially by a Saudi Arabian prince, they went to court to get the right to lie and they spend all of their time lying. While there is clearly liberal bias on MSN, there is nothing so flagrant as the extremist theocratic crap that Fox news drivels out to its flock of brainless sheep.
I have a college degree, and as a RN will never be one of the 47%, but I don't want any president that will only serve the people he thinks would vote for him. To be honest he will only serve the people who are paying him.
