“Romney, being the good business man that he is saved his money and is now blitzing the air waves.”
___________________________
Romney (and pro-Romney SuperPACs) were always blitzing the airwaves, just not as much as Obama. In Florida, I would say that just about every single ad break on broadcast television has had at least one political ad, since JANUARY. It’s not unusual to get 4 political ads in a row during prime time. Between that and the robo calls I’m ready for this endless hell of a campaign to be over. I bet it’s even worse in Ohio.

Tingles looks good in a dress.
Bad news for Romney. Unemployment rate drops in 41 states. Seven of those are in swing states.
@Mark
Come on.
Drilling on Gov lands decrease because of permits
Drilling on P lands because the cost. It was increased without Obama. It was at one point early last year trying to be stopped by the EPA when they tried to impose Fed regs if the owner had any Fed loans. The big guys would pump on Fed land by choice if they could. The cost is less. That bull about not pumping is just that. They were still survaying and trying to get EPA permits. Catch 22 thing.

Bad news for Romney. Unemployment rate drops in 41 states. Seven of those are in swing states.
that was from the September report, (and we all know how reliable the September report was)stay current!
And it is not by amounts that will be noticed with great effect (Nevada might actualy feel the effect slightly)
Among the states seeing a decline in their unemployment rate were:
* Colorado (from 8.2 percent in August to 8.0 percent in September)
* Florida (from 8.8 percent to 8.7 percent)
* Iowa (from 5.5 percent to 5.2 percent)
* Nevada (from 12.1 percent to 11.8 percent)
* North Carolina (from 9.7 percent to 9.6 percent)
* Ohio (from 7.2 percent to 7 percent)
* Wisconsin (from 7.5 percent to 7.3 percent)
James: BHO is going to roll Romney with his adroit handeling of the Libia affair? And the 22 different embasays that were attacked or maybe fast and furrious. No closing Gitmo, oh thats right he didn’t. Or maybe teling Putin he would be more flexable after the election (I’m sure the Poles and Chezks appreciated that). Well at least Hugo backs him! This is the most target rich environment since Top Gun!
How does a .3% drop in unemployment ‘feel’ to an employed person? Does it make you ‘feel’ like voting one way or another? Either way, I’ve noticed a change over the last ~6 months. A bunch of the barren, for sale strip malls on my drive to work suddenly have businesses buying up storefronts, and some longer-abandoned properties have been bulldozed, with new properties being built up. This is happening all along Ulmerton Road in my neck of Tampa Bay. I’d say it has exactly nothing to do with anything that Obama or my Nosferatu-looking governor have done, but at least in this area, there are signs of life in the economy.
My prediction is still that Romney will win the popular vote but Obama wins the Electoral vote and another 4 years.
Obama = 271
Romney = 267
Great news for Obama! Regular gas down to $4.64/gal in Northern California. Not that it matters – local folks would still vote for Obama if gas was at $464/gal – but great news for Obama nevertheless.
FHA Jeffie, tick tock. I still await. Come on your guy can’t lose!! Take my offer!! The worst that could happen and according to you this is impossible is that Romney wins and you can go to a new site and spin an even greater fantasy life. Come on you have bragged on here many times how big and bad you are and won’t take anything off a conservative. Take my offer and get rid of me!!!
@Ratboy. “Stay current”
Do you have a learning disability? These State unemployment numbers were just reported today.

The unemployment is going down but those are still lousy numbers after four years. The great recession, huh, if we had pro-growth policies the rate would be around 6% maybe less. The great recession is a made up term to protect O. Bush had a recession and 9/11. We were out of the woods in two years. The rate was under 6 for most of his term.
The crash came because Bush did away with most of the regulation regarding loans especially home loans. The government decided to guarantee the loans. A license to steal. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd had a hand in this as did Republican lawmakers. Clinton started the process at the end of his term. This was ultimately Bush’s fault he was in charge.
They all wanted people to own homes. Their hearts where in the right place but not their heads. Some people shouldn’t own homes and you can’t make it that easy to steal.
O. has made things worse with his government solutions. Tell me about the car companies in two years. I will eat my hat if GM isn’t having problems. Already they can’t pay their loan back (30 Bil). They are still Union top heavy and will implode, it is just a matter of time.

Billy Graham buys election ads after Romney meeting
CNN
The most famous and revered pastor in America, Billy Graham, is calling on voters to cast a ballot for their faith in full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and other newspapers
The ad hit the prominent papers Wednesday and Thursday, and could hit a dozen more newspapers, a week after the famed evangelist met with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney at Graham’s Montreat, North Carolina, home and less than a month after his son Franklin Graham issued a full-throated endorsement of Romney in a USA Today opinion piece.

Closing up shop for today.
@Mark2
———————
Obama = 271
Romney = 267
———————
Currently I have it at
Obama = 265
Romney = 235
With New Hampshire, Colorado, Virginia, Iowa and Nevada in play. basically Romney has to sweep the rest of those states. There is one possibility that Obama wins NH, but loses the rest and we get a tie which means we get a Romney as President(by congress vote)/Biden VP(Senata vote)
In terms of the 5 states, I am guess Nevada and Iowa lean slightly to Obama, Virginia leans slightly towards Romney and it’s hard for me to get a read on Virginia and Colorado
You beat me to it SP. Those numbers for September were just reported today. I believe the next report will come out just before the election.
That does not remotely sum up all of the problems that lead to the 2008 crash, which had more to do with Clinton and Reagan’s policies than W. Subprime mortgages were only a part of it, and of those subprime mortgages, only a minority were the result of CRA. Investment banks engaging in trades they barely understood, and the credit rating agencies (the same people we’re supposed to take seriously as they threaten to downgrade us) were giving AAA ratings to garbage CDOs. Sorry, but it’s a real pet peeve of mine when people try to sum up such a catastrophe with “THIS IS ALL THE RESULT OF GIVING POOR PEOPLE MORTGAGES.”
