Shady Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 Don't be too sure about that. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2012/10/19/stand-up-chief-romney-schools-obama Exactly. Obama isn't winning Catholics this time around, nor is he winning independents. Quote
punked Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 Well Nov 6ths is on the way isn't it? We will know soon. I no calling voter fraud this time though because it has been your side in Virginia caught 3 time doing it this election. Quote
Shady Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Looks like the Romney campaign is expanding operations into Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. They've got the Obama campaign playing defense. Reports are that the Obama campaign is going to be pulling advertising out of Florida and North Carolina soon, because they're lost causes. Quote
BubberMiley Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 People keeping more of what they earn didn't lower mortgage standards. It was done by Dems for the purposes of advancing homeownership to people that wouldn't otherwise qualify. Didn't you scurry away the last time you tried to sell that old line, after having had your pants pulled down by Kimmy?

Smallc Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Reports are that the Obama campaign is going to be pulling advertising out of Florida and North Carolina soon, because they're lost causes. This from the Republican Minister of Information. I want you to cite those reports....because giving up Florida sounds ridiculous. Quote
msj Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 This from the Republican Minister of Information. I want you to cite those reports....because giving up Florida sounds ridiculous. Well, Nate Silver of the NY Times is wondering if it makes sense to give up Florida. He argues that Florida isn't all that important to Obama ("[t]here is only about a 2 percent chance that the decisive Electoral College vote will be cast in that state on Nov. 6") and given that Florida is always a Republican leaning state anyway, it is unlikely to prevent Obama from winning the college vote. For other reasons Obama should focus his resources elsewhere where the chance of the college vote being decisive will matter. IOW, BFD.

And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.

betsy Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 This from the Republican Minister of Information. I want you to cite those reports....because giving up Florida sounds ridiculous. A Florida newspaper endorses Romney, too. Quote
punked Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 A Florida newspaper endorses Romney, too. You do know the largest Ohio newspaper endorsed Obama today right? Quote
Guest American Woman Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 You do know the largest Ohio newspaper endorsed Obama today right? Obama appears to have the edge in Ohio, and from what I'm reading, while Obama can afford to lose Florida, Romney can't afford to lose Ohio. Quote
cybercoma Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Obama appears to have the edge in Ohio, and from what I'm reading, while Obama can afford to lose Florida, Romney can't afford to lose Ohio. The latest polling in Ohio (Gravis Marketing Oct 20) has Obama and Romney tied in Ohio at 47% a piece. The most recent poll in Florida (Survey USA Oct 20) has Obama ahead 47-46 in Florida. So it seems to be a dead heat still in those states. Quote
punked Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 If Romney loses NC, VA, OH or FL any of those it is over however Obama can lose all those states and still win. Quote
punked Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Gravis, isn't a real polling firm. Quote
cybercoma Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Other close races: Iowa: Romney +1% (Public Policy 10/19) New Hampshire: Romney +1% (Public Policy 10/19) Florida: Obama +1% (Survey USA 10/20) Ohio: Obama +1% (Public Policy 10/20) Wisconsin: Obama +2% (Rasmussen110/19) Virginia: Obama +2% (Public Policy 10/20) Nevada: Obama +3% (Rasmussen1 10/17) Michigan: Obama +3% (Denno Research 10/18) Colorado: Obama +3% (Public Policy 10/18) North Carolina: Obama +3% (Project New America 10/19) Pennsylvania: Obama +4% (Quinnipiac 10/16) 1: Rasmussen was tied for first with Pew Research as the most accurately pollster in 2008.

cybercoma Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Gravis, isn't a real polling firm. I'm just reposting the results from a polling aggregate. Quote
cybercoma Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) If Romney loses NC, VA, OH or FL any of those it is over however Obama can lose all those states and still win. This is what I see as a worst-case scenario for Obama (losing Ohio, New Hampshire, Florida, Iowa and Wisconsin) and he still wins. According to the polls, however, that seems unlikely.

Shady Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 The Suffolk University Political Research Center has determined Mitt Romney is a lock to win the battleground states of Florida, Virginia and North Carolina and will not conduct additional polls there during the final four weeks of the presidential electionhttp://www.boston.com/politicalintelligence/2012/10/10/suffolk-polling-center-puts-florida-virginia-and-north-carolina-safely-mitt-romney-column/hQzH5It1ANgkYxbFcA1NJL/story.html. Suffolk isn't even bothering to poll in those states anymore because they're locks for Romney. Obama's electoral map is shrinking week by week. His firewall is a picket fence. Quote
punked Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Hahaha yah sure Shady a lock that must be why the last three Florida polls have Obama winning. Those states are locks only if you live I Romney fantasy land such as yourself. Quote
cybercoma Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Here's what "a lock" looks like to Shady. http://www.270towin.com/2012-polls/Florida/ Quote
punked Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Which is why you can believe anything he says. He is the most uniformed person on the forum. Quote
Guest Derek L Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 [/i] Suffolk isn't even bothering to poll in those states anymore because they're locks for Romney. Obama's electoral map is shrinking week by week. His firewall is a picket fence. If as they say Romney is sitting at 206 electoral votes, he’ll need all of Florida, Virginia and Pennsylvania to sit at 268 votes……….Then add another single state like Wisconsin or North Carolina or even taking half of Maine’s votes and he wins……..without Ohio.

Shady Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 Here's what "a lock" looks like to Shady. http://www.270towin....-polls/Florida/ 7 of the last 8 polls show Romney leading in Florida. The latest one by 5. I'll bet you a million dollars Obama loses Florida on Nov 6th. Quote

BubberMiley Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 I thought the polls weren't trustworthy! Why would someone bet a million dollars they don't have based on information from a source they said was unreliable just a couple of weeks ago?
