This is truly one we're going to have to ride out and wait and see what happens. I don't think that anybody really knows. I understand the economy tact, but I can't help but think Romney should have continued to focus some on Libya as a campaign issue.
Someone's been listening to Bill Kristol
True that. But I thought it before he said it. :lol:
He could have re-introduced the subject this week with some of the new stuff that's come up. At least it might have gotten some media outlets to acknowledge the subject. Emphasis on might. Krauthammer thinks it's too late now for Romney to bring it up. I guess so with three days left. If something bad happens Tuesday, there will be a lot of second-guessing about it.

I was at the Romney rally in VA Beach last night. We were 8 rows from the podium. I have to say, when you listen to his entire pitch, Mitt makes a strong case to be president. There are many things he talked about that don't make it into the sound bites that get recycled on tv.

He probably wouldn't have been my first pick, but after being there last night, I feel very confident that he would do a great job as president.

That's something I said over the summer. While everyone was on the campaigns case about not running ads etc, I pointed out all of the local in person stops he was making. People were able to hear what he had to say and LIKED it. Look what we have now with all of the ads. Could you have imagined that since Memorial Day? Also, it totally destroyed the Obama strategy. There is a reason Obama pulled negative ads in swing States. They were not working and did not line up with the person people had met. ( or seen in the debates). It was a very good strategy and appears to be very successful.

Not really surprising.

Although the only reason I watch CNN for hard count election results is because they have better maps and no Karl Rove or Bill Kristol telling me what I should think.
:dontgetit
They are just telling you to think what someone told them to tell you to think HA

I usually flip the channel when Rove comes on but love Luntz, Krauthammer, Hume, Kelly, Parino, and even Morris.

Real Clear not looking good for Romney this morning. OH and WI trending the wrong way past two days.

If he's reelected, hang on ..... it's going to be a wild ride. He has no plan for the deficit. At least one that makes scene? And he shows no sign of pulling a Bill Clinton and slashing Government freebies? That's his base?

Look at my earlier post on Ohio polling.
As for Wisconsin, the fact that its this close is bad for the President. The Scott Walker recall vote put a good ground game in WI. But at the end of the day he doesn't need WI to win

With all due respect, have you been ignoring what I, LUconn, and Haize we're telling you? Faulty polls, equal faulty RCP average.

I mean, worrying about the polls doesn't even matter at this point. What matters is that you, I, and everyone else gets 5 of our friends to vote (three of which voted Obama in 08) for Romney on Tuesday. Can you get five? They don't have to have voted for Obama, I simply included that to show you that this thing is ours for the taking. Just make sure everyone you know votes.

A Democrat leaning poll (PPP) shows Obama is up by 3 in WI, and Obama only up 6 in Washington State.

Lets do this!

PPP polls tend to skew 5 points towards Democrats.

I saw that moveon.org video. Is that the one you're referencing? It's like every time you think the Democrats won't go too far... they do.
