Its going to come down to Ohio. If you play with some of the interactive maps online, there is a very scary possibility that they could each end up with 269 electoral votes, throwing the election to the House of Reps, which would elect Romney.
If we have two elections in this century determined by something other than the actual vote, we're headed for some real trouble.

7.6% unemployment rate. That should be a cakewalk.

Then again, maybe not for a guy whining about question order.

We've had almost 4 years to observe the President in office. We are well aware of the economic statistics; we are well aware of the President's policies. All of the foregoing are represented by Republicans as awful. We've had 2 debates; we've been exposed to a seemingly unlimited number of political ads. So, why isn't Romney leading by at least 10 points not only nationally, but in each state?

RT @JohnJHarwood: Top GOP pollster on Gallup's 7-pt Romney lead nationally among likely voters: "There is nothing I am looking at that resembles that data."

On the Electoral Map, North Carolina has changed from "toss up" to "leaning Romney". For the first time this year, Romney is leading in electoral votes (206) compared to Obama (201).

CBS has Romney up by 7 points, 52% for Romney to 45% for Obama.

This election is going to be even closer than I initially thought unfortunately.

Obama gave up on NC a few weeks ago. And here in Florida, both candidates are moving staff out of the state and into Ohio where it's still a battle.

The Gawker has a piece on Romney's son's. Pretty funny or nasty depending on which side your on.

"Which Romney Son Is Creepiest?"

Check out the one son "Evil cyborg banker" Josh!

Of course, it would be unacceptable is anyone made fun of Obama's daughters. That's how it works.

Matt Drudge hinted that Gloria Allred has some dirt and is getting ready to unleash it. I think thats what he meant. Here's what he said.

From his Twitter

"Here she comes. Hearing Gloria Allred out there again, about to make a move. After all, it's her time of the campaign. Team O at the ready!!"

https://twitter.com/DRUDGE

Allred won't confirm or deny at this time. I have no idea what she could possibly be up to but i wouldn't put anything past her.

To be fair, Vinny, the press was pretty rough on Chelsea Clinton during her, uhm, awkward years (that kid had a face that could make an onion cry).

Chelsea looked like Hillary with a horse face.

Romney's sons are grown men, one of whom said he wanted to take a swipt at the presicent. The president's daughters are minors, and they chould be off limits to the press until they are grown...unless they make news.

About a month ago, Hugh Hewitt said Allred had info of an affair or sexual harassment by Romney.

There's probably a binder full of info on that.

Exactly.

Wow, that would be something if it's true. I remember Allred involved herself in the race for governor out in california in 2010 when she went after Meg Whitman for hiring a "undocumented worker".

Oh yeah. Nicky the Maid, or something like that. I wonder how she's doing?

Allred is a joke. No one even takes her legal "interventions" seriously anymore. She has zero credibility. Her handling of the pigs in the Tiger Woods scandal outed for for what she is: A man hating shrew who'll do anything for a buck.

The economy is worse than ever! Change horses mid-stream!

Unemployment rate drops in 41 states, including most swing states

fuck both romney and obamma, they both suck! regardless of who wins, the economy will continue to go down the toilet, we will be at war with iran by february, and cival liberties will continue to shrink at an alarming rate. nothing ever changes with this corrupt 2 party system. while honest, hardworking americans continue to get screwed, both of these fools continue to play volleyball with meaningless issues such as gay rights, marriage and other stupid issues that the government has no business even getting involved with in the first place. the only candidate who makes any sense whatsoever is gary johnson, but not surprising he isn't welcome at any of these dog and pony shows that they try to pass off as "debates"! on the topic of debates, i think some of you here might find this video on the commission on presidential debates interesting...

I do wish the debates were like the UK Parliament debates where the Tories and Labour regularly thrash each other face-to-face.

This happens every week not enough of the country takes notice though unless it's election year.

Can i ask why this site is so supportive of Obama?

No offence is meant by this question it's just reading through this site you're lucky to see a republican pop up on every 5th page. Is it related to alot of posters being from NorthEastern more democrat states?

Again no offence meant just curious.

Perhaps, and perhaps the few local GOPers just for the most part don't want to bother jumping into this war zone?

The thing that ticks me is the fear mongering and the lying that takes place from the GOP, sure Libs are guilty of that as well but def not as much. But 9 times out 10 you can bet the bank the conservatives say and do way more some wacky shit. Plus its kind of hard to defend policies that have no actual FACTUAL precedents to them that show they do what is claimed they do.

Being from the Northeast doesnt hurt as well. Personally, I dont vote on party lines or even for candidates. I vote on SPECIFIC policies that I have researched in detail (taxes,etc) that make sense. I have voted for candidates from both parties (not necessarily for President though).
