Ratboy- Obama could go to Seseme Street to prep for the debate. Big Bird and Company probably can come up with a better debate strategy than Axilrod and Company. But that would go with the Chicago Way of doing things.
The corrupt lib. media and the Obama people will do all they can to bury the cover on Embassy Gate. Now they are going to kill some people in Libya with a drone. It won’t matter if they get the right people Obama and the lib. media will say they did.
Embassy Gate chapter two coming live via satellite from a U.S. Drone.
MSNBC still looking up to FOX News. When will they learn we want to hear from all sides of an issue not just theirs. Sharpton takes a whole segment just to bash on Republicans and then goes to commercial. He keeps lumping himself in with the middle class when he has a net worth over $5million. I wonder how much he donates to charity? Nothing worse than a hypocrite.
My personal favorite was watching Staphanie Cutter on Erin Burnett after the first debate,at first she looked like she was crying the whole night through! Then as she was exchanging with Erin,she looked like she was breaking out in hives!!
Curse that CNN in hd! You can’t hide your emotions!
The right Reverend Al doesn’t have a church. He never did a days work in his life.
@Ratboy & Rick in MT
I am not sure what is going on but somebody on the left knows something
I can tell you what’s going on, it goes with the numbers my friend told me about and the maps I viewed today. Basically the Obama campaign is in real trouble, they have lost points to Hispanics, now they are even tied with Romney on the women voters.
Ohio is trending to Romney, Florida is about gone for Obama, Michigan, and NH are now toss ups and Obama has a lock on only 4 states now.
Remember me saying that as the election gets closer you can throw out just about all what the media says and does, thus the Destroy Romney quick memo from the DNC a few months ago.
How many times have I said, in ALL elections if its close, the challenger gets the votes? Obama is a known factor; he’s been around for 4 years now.
All people were waiting on is to see if they thought a new guy could do the job. Romney proved to them in the debate he in fact could.
Reminds me of the Carter/Reagan election as it gets closer.
Is it over? Not by any stretch, but with only 21 days to go folks, there’s not much time to turn it around should Romney keep trending up.
PS:
Obama is a known factor; he’s been around for 4 years now.
What I mean is, If people don’t know by now if they will vote for the guy in office, then the guy in office will not get there vote.
Looks like all the networks got a little post-debate bump.
@Steve
I think Ohio will be what does in the Romney campaign. outsourcing jobs to china and saying the auto bailout was bad might not have that big a effect in Florida or Virginia, but to a bunch of blue collar workers in Ohio it means a hell of alot
I also don’t think Michigan(16) or Pennsylvania(20) will go Republican(unless the Obama campaign completely fizzles out in the next 3 weeks, which would mean Romney wins in a landslide and those electoral votes are meaningless)
@Mark
You may be right on Ohio, but if the trend continues, Romney has a shot, also they described on Special Report where Joe Trippi and Karl Rove agreed, even without Ohio Romney is shooting for a 3-2-1 strategy which both agreed seems to be working, that would mean Romney simply needs only 1 of the remaining 7 swings states if he gets Florida. They had the chart on the show, and I honestly at this time can’t remember all the swing ones they had up.
I do not intend to say, it’s over Mark, but the numbers are coming into play now, and they are trending for Romney big time now.
And very good points on your (I also don’t think Michigan(16) or Pennsylvania(20) will go Republican(unless the Obama campaign completely fizzles out in the next 3 weeks, which would mean Romney wins in a landslide and those electoral votes are meaningless) Statement
I don;t think it will be a landslide though, demographics have changed so much across the nation mark, I doubt if we’ll ever see another landslide in our lifetimes.

for you hrj and coffee steve
PS @ Mark
Tell you what also Mark, if the GOP doesn’t change on softening its views and stance on the Hispanic & African-American votes within the next 4 years, they may never be able to regain power, fully.
Hispanics are here to stay and they have an influence on policy now, and some in the GOP simply can’t understand that
LOL@1966
I hope so, I sure hope so LOL

“The Funniest Quote Today,” goes to Chicago Mayor and former Obama Chief-of Staff Rahm Emanuel. This appear in Todd Starnes column on the Fox News webpage:
“Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel in a statement to the Chicago Tribune. “They disrespect our fellow neighbors and residents.”
Emanuel was vowing his support for Alderman Proco Moreno’s announcement that he would block construction of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in his district.
NOT CHICAGO VALUES??? ROFLMAO: “I think even Al Capone is spinning in his grave laughing like he11 when he first heard this one.”
You are correlating Chicago values to a GANGSTER that has been dead since 1947?
I can see Obama interrupting prime time on Nov 5th saying “folks I got them”. Referring to the Lybian terrorists.
Breaking!!! Hillary Clinton taking the blame for Bengazi! The bus has pulled up and she is under it!!
If she accepts the blame then she should resign–

I cant disagree with you but I am sure Obumbles made a deal that she takes the fall, asks for forgiveness, he grants it, and on we go.
