   The good news in today’s ARG poll of Ohio is not that Romney’s leading 48-47%, it’s that the party ID breakdown doesn’t reflect anything nearing reality. There’s just no way Democrats will enjoy a nine-point turnout advantage over Romney in Ohio. But in order to believe Romney’s only up by one, that’s exactly what you have to assume. Here’s the ARG sample:

   Democrats (42%)

   Republicans (33%)

   Independents (25%)

   Another Ouch!

   Obama loses ?lead on key ?voter issues: economy, national security

   Voters now give Mitt Romney the nod when it comes to handling national security, and he has recaptured a lead over President Obama when voters are asked who will do a better job on the economy — findings that spell bad news for the incumbent.

   Little more than a week ago, heading into the first debate of the campaign season, Mr. Obama led on the economy and national security, as well as handling of energy, immigration and foreign affairs. In each of those categories he either topped or was just below the magic number of 50 percent support.

   But that changed in the latest The Washington Times/Zogby Poll conducted by Zogby Analytics, released Monday, which gave Mr. Romney a 48 percent to 45 percent advantage on national security and a 50 percent to 44 percent advantage on jobs and the economy

   Just a thought, maybe the Obama personal attacks are having less effect after people got to hear Gov. Romney speak for himself.

   Tingles will be on the attack today. I know, it’s like watching a train wreck, you feel guilty but you watch anyway. He is going to explode today after reading the latest polls.

    It’s On: Sesame Workshop tells Obama campaign to take down Big Bird ad!

    I couldn’t get the link past the filter.

    Big Bird will not be anyone’s political puppet.

    Sesame Workshop has asked the Obama campaign to take down a new TV ad that prominently features the famous talking bird, in a satirical spot mocking Mitt Romney for calling for an end to PBS subsidies.

    “Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns. We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down,” Sesame Workshop said in a statement.

    An Obama campaign official said it has received the request and “will review their concerns.”

    The statement follows a week of Big Bird saturation in the media and on the campaign trail.

    Romney touched off the frenzy when he said at last week’s debate he wants to “stop the subsidy to PBS” even though “I like Big Bird.”

    The line took off on Twitter. “Saturday Night Live” included a Big Bird bit. Obama has repeatedly mocked Romney for the line in his post-debate stump speeches. And the Obama campaign ad released Monday featured a menacing voiceover warning of Romney’s anti-Big Bird agenda.

    “Big, yellow, a menace to our economy. Mitt Romney knows it’s not Wall Street you have to worry about, it’s Sesame Street,” the voiceover says. “Mitt Romney, taking on our enemies no matter where they nest.”

    The Romney campaign said its rivals were distracting from bigger issues.

    “Four years ago, President Obama said that if you don’t have a record to run on, ‘you make a big election about small things.’ With 23 million people struggling for work, incomes falling, and gas prices soaring, Americans deserve more from their president,” spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg said.

    Obama: I’m Only Going To Win If ‘Everybody Is Almost Obsessive’

    SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Exactly one month from Election Day, Republican Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are both declaring they will win a race for the White House that remains anything but clear. Their trails are crossing again in Ohio, the state that could decide the election, and signs of urgency are emerging from each campaign.

    “I very much intend to win this election,” Obama told donors in San Francisco Monday night. “But we’re only going to do it if everybody is almost obsessive for the next 29 days.”

    Romney stood in a driving rain in Newport News, Va., his wet hair sticking to the side of his face, to join the kinds of die-hard supporters he needs for victory. “People wonder why it is I’m so confident we’re going to win,” he told them. “I’m confident because I see you here on a day like this. This is unbelievable.”

    Andrea Mitchell is blaming Chris Stevens for not being careful enough. Look for this to be the new line defense. Stevens had unrealistic goals about Libya’s future and took too many chances.

    Mitchell just said this and brushed aside the cover up.

    suiko, fine, however you want to do it. One last thing, I never”begged” for your forgiveness. I also never called you any vile names. I said I was sorry I came down on you so hard and that I couldn’t put my finger on why I reacted that way towards you. Then you didn’t accept my apology and over the next weeks of your disingenuous posts, your name calling and your denial of things you had said and your inability to have a rational discussion, your inability to give any point of view other than your own any credibility, I remembered why I have deep doubts about your intellectual talents.

    Happy Tuesday, everybody! I’m NOT reading through 11 pages of posts, but I noticed some changes FNC has made to “Hannity.” (Relatively)New set, new graphics, great A-list guests..and Sean seems more lively.

    @Raz: Andrea Mitchell is the perfect example of a totally-biased reporter. She’s even being used in the new Obama ad, to lend, ahem, ‘credibility’ to the latest Romney Lied propaganda b.s. Mrs. Greenspan ought to interview her husband, who f’ed up the Fed when he was in charge.

    @sunshine: That’s the ONLY thing Obama has to fire a missle at the Romney camp. Obama and Biden need to be put on the defensive the next three debates to explain why things got worse under their watch.

    @Ratboy: >>> Do you think Phill is filling in for Jeffie while he is gone? <<<

    Who cares? My advice is to ignore the Obamabot aka Fertilizer Man, because all he does is spread b.s.
