@Ratboy
That’s just to close the deal
Yep waste time and money to “close the deal”
CANT FIX STUPID!!!!!!
@Sia
Hey I am using a polling firm that was almost right(infact they were a little generous towards the Republican) in a recent poll to gauge Wisconsin. To call that “bias” is laughable
Blah blah blah. The campaigns will spend the final days making a push in the close states that they can’t afford to lose. That’s why Romney spent all day in Virginia, and will spend the rest of the campaign in NH + the Midwestern states. He’s not touching Nevada because it’s a lost cause, and he’s not touching Florida because he has a small but probably insurmountable lead there; he even leads amongst Hispanics, thanks to the Cuban population. Obama is also spending most of his time in the Midwest, because it’s his firewall.
Neither candidate is visiting North Carolina, Pennsylvania, or Michigan.
@Matthew
Romney is visiting Pennsylvania on Sunday. Not sure if that is a good sign(ie he plans to win certain states and can afford time in a new place) or bad(he is seeing states get out of his grasp and needs to find a new place to gain votes)
Obamas gonna get relected righties stop whinen..romney.was his own liability
@James
In defense of Romney if he loses I don’t think he was his own liability, it was the far right who wanted to keep him in check that was his downfall.
@SIA “Rassmussen has Mitt Romney leading in OH, IA, CO and tied in WI so eat that ”
LMAO, Rasmussen didn’t even make the top 10 rankings for most accurate polls in 2010, so what are you talking about?
Most accurate Pollsters for the 2010 Elections:
#1 – YouGov/Polimetrix
#2 – SurveyUSA
#3 – RealClearPolitics
#4 – FiveThirtyEight
#5 – Pollster
#6 – Public Policy Polling
#7 – Fox News
#8 – Quinnipiac
#9 – CNN/Time
#10 – The Hill
Rasmussen and Gallup failed to make the list.
@Mark: I only saw “to be determined” in Romney’s schedule for Sunday, I didn’t know he was planning on going to Pennsylvania. It gives him a chance to play offense in a state that should, in theory, have favorable demographics for him, but he’s not likely to win it.
@Matthew
Pennsylvania to the Republicans in a national election is like Lucy and the football. lol
Again, if Romney was such a great leader and Governor, why is he losing in his own State by an average of 22 points?
No republican has ever won the white house without ohio..obamas maintaining a steady lead
Now we find out why George Lucas sold his movie company
*REPORT: George Lucas timed sale of empire to avoid next year’s massive tax hikes…
I ahve another prediction, by next wednesday the polls won’t matter anymore.
*President’s Job Council Advisor — Endorses Romney.
Supporters include Charles Schwab, Cisco Chief Executive John Chambers and Bernie Marcus, the co-founder of Home Depot. The newest name on the list belongs to Intel CEO Paul Otellini, a member of President Barack Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
That has to hurt bad (sorry mark2)
Just closing the deal! From today till Monday Obama to Iowa 2 times Wisc 3 times and Ohio 6 stops!! Yep backs up them Mark2 polls PERFECTLY!!!
Within 6 minutes, Bret Baier was already talking about Lybia. It’s been over 7 weeks now and they’re still reporting it as news.
I wonder? I wonder if by us posting all these polls from different places and different compaines if we somehow can change the numbers?
*Starving New Yorkers Reduced to Dumpster Diving in Sandy’s Aftermath
Is this still Bushes Fault? Are any MSM covering this lack of leadership, lack of food, water, electricity?
It’s been 3 days now? Oh But Mayor Nanny did announce the Marathon is still a go.
Can’t we all just get along?
>>>>>>>>Mark2
Fox would rather not report positive news about POTUS. Niether would Rush.
I wonder if Obama will bring Rev. Joseph Lowrey on his deal closing. He can tell all the white voters how they are all going to h*ll. The amount of racism coming from Obama supporters is pretty shameful. He may have dodged Rev. Wright but he gave Lowrey the medal of freedom. What a joke.
