Countdown to President Romney's Inauguration

[GratefulCitizen]

Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida are the critical states.
It's looking like Romney will get Ohio, North Carolina and Florida.

My guess: if the election is close, it will come down to Virginia.

I heard the state was a theoretical toss-up at this time...

That's not what the MSM is saying - more like the Repub's ain't doing enough.

Notice how the MSM don't make much of the House passing a budget the last couple of years - except harping on how draconian the cuts were (What "cuts"?) and nothing about the Senate under the D-rats not putting out a budget in how many years now?

I think the D-rats keep the Senate and block everything - but the MSM blames every on Mitt and the Repub's.

On the other hand, I don't want him to remain president either, for all the things that entails. If Romney wins and the economy still doesn't turn around, the one positive I do see is that the next Democratic challenger likely won't be as leftwing as Obama is.

I just read your post, out loud, in a whiny snivel, and now I understand why homosexuals don't bother you.

Let's get a Republican in there and worry about 2016 later, dude.

Hey, work like they all got your guy down - get 'er done come November.

For a while, the first thing I looked at when the latest poll got hyped was whether it was of registered voters or of likely voters. Generally, registered voter polls skew farther to the left. Likely voter polls tend to be more reliable, but usually closer to the election in question, since farther out people will often claim to be likely to vote when they actually aren't.

Of late, though, the first thing I look for when the poll comes out (well maybe the second after the RV vs LV thing) is the partisan breakdown. The news sites like to hype the big swings in their polls, and then leave it to you to dig deeper to determine if the swing was genuinely due to changing sentiment or simply due to oversampling or undersampling one party or another. It is really quite annoying.

I am hoping that Scott Walker wins in June and that the SCOTUS strikes down Obamacare, that would make for a very happy month

obama is still blaming President Bush and the Republicans for the economy. So it will be like obama was never there, right?.

Like that one where you're back in high school, and can't remember your locker combination? And then, you look down and you don't have pants on? Like that one?

Yeah. Or the one where you're back in high school and you can't remember how to spell locker.

That’s because only Obama and John Wolfe, a Tennessee lawyer, are on the Democratic presidential primary ballot in the Razorback State. (Wolfe took 12 percent — and nearly 18,000 votes — in a four-way fight in the Louisiana Democratic presidential primary in late March.) And a recent independent poll showed Obama running just seven points ahead of Wolfe in the southern Arkansas 4th district, which covers one-quarter of the state.

All of this takes place on a backdrop that is decidedly less than friendly for Obama. Even while he was sweeping to a national victory (and 365 electoral votes) in 2008, Obama received just 39 percent in Arkansas — six points worse than Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry did four years earlier.

“Arkansas voters are informed voters and are fully aware that John Wolfe will not make it out of the primary,” said one well-connected Arkansas Democrat. “However, if John Wolfe has a strong showing tomorrow, it’s a sign that Democratic voters in Arkansas are frustrated with the administration’s policies and further reiteration that Southern Democrats simply cannot identify with President Obama.”

And, if the press coverage of Keith Judd’s surprisingly strong showing two weeks ago in West Virginia is any indication, you can expect Wolfe to draw significant attention in the immediate aftermath of today’s vote.

Couple Wolfe’s candidacy in Arkansas with the fact that Kentucky — another place where Obama isn’t popular with many people who call themselves Democrats — also votes today (Obama faces no opponents in Kentucky, but voters there can select “uncommitted” as an option) and you have the potential for a less-than-friendly narrative regarding Obama come Wednesday. And that would follow 72 hours of coverage about Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s comments about private equity and how it should be off-limits in the campaign.

When the New Black Panther party thinks you are a joke as POTUS, you may have a problem.

Curious that NBPP is advocating "the bullet" yet no talk of the Secret Service coming to talk to them, like they did with Ted Nugent. Funny how that works.

"...............“Black peoples are the whores and prostitutes of the Democratic Party, and mistreated mistress that is courted in the late of night, but left hanging when it is time for real change in the light of the post election day,” Shabazz wrote, following a dissertation on the need to “Vote for Revolution.”........................"

Well Duh. We've known that for at least 20 years. What took you so long to figure it out, Shabazz?

If all Obama's campaign has for ammo is Bain capital, this ain't gonna be as hard as people think.

TALLAHASSEE --
A new poll shows former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney building a lead over President Barack Obama in the crucial swing state of Florida.

According to the latest Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, Romney was preferred by 47 percent to Obama's 41 percent among a random telephone survey of 1,722 registered Florida voters.

The poll, conducted May 15–21, has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.

The survey also indicated that having U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, of Miami, on the Republican ticket with Romney would have little effect on voter decisions. Romney led Obama 49 percent to 41 percent with Rubio as his running mate.

The latest sampling of voter moods showed the candidates' opposing views on same-sex marriage was a factor with one-third of the respondents.
