    Who cares.... as in the past election when folks said anyone but Bush... now, it is anyone but Obamarama! Anyone at all.... has to be better for my family. His policies have taken my tax money to bail out my creditors so they could sue me... eliminated my job via his regulations, medical insurance legislation and Obamacare, and made this land safe and secure for Crimaliens who have taken all the jobs which I would love to have if I could now speak Spanish.

    I would vote for freakin Hitler right now if he was the only option other than Obamarama.... alright maybe not Hitler, but you get the idea as to how Obamarama has hurt us during his presidency...

    Romney should use his VP pick to help him with women voters.

    Right now, Romney looks weak in attracting women voters.

    The top 3 most admired women in America - Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama - all back Obama for re-election.

    If something big were to happen with one of those three then maybe Obama might lose his hold on the women's vote. If say, Romney went on TV with Oprah and convinced her and her viewers to vote Romney, if Hillary Clinton ran against Obama for the Democrat nomination, if Michelle Obama filed for divorce - that kind of thing, then maybe Obama would be vulnerable.

    Right now, Obama has the women's vote all but sewn up so Romney needs to do something big to recruit women to his ticket.

    Picking Condoleezza Rice to run on the Republican ticket would be Romney's best move to attract women voters and boost his ticket's foreign policy experience at the same time.

    But Romney needs more women voters support. Oprah is the most admired woman with republican women so when she endorsed Obama for re-election that hurt the GOP ticket with women voters.

    What are you talking about? One of the reasons we have the Mittster today is because he blew all the competition away during the debates. Mitt will steamroll over obama--making obot wish he could have his teleprompter handy. Wake up old man.

    If the way the Romney campaign is handling its own conference calls is a preview of the debates, Mitt's in a heap of trouble.

    Check out this vid. The first 14 minutes are comedy gold. Things definitely aren't looking good for Romney.

    Skills aside, 2008 Candidate Obama was all about playing on the much bashed Bush perception, leaning on the main stream press's groundwork, and offering glibe catch phrases and impossible-to-refute-or-to-keep promises as the alternative.

    In 2012, President Obama has a record to defend, and not a good one.

    Dont worry,if you are ignorant enough to want the CFR poster boy Romney in then you have nothing to worry about.Elections are rigged,we dont put these people in office.they are SELECTED for us by the establishment.He was at the bilderbeger meeting recently.He is the chosen one.He will get elected because the sheople wont stand up to these criminals in washington and take their country back.Romney has been caught committing vote fraud qiote a few times.The establishment is going to make sure he not only gets the nomination over ron paul but that he becomes president as well.

    you are obviously not aware of the establishments conspiracy against ron paul.

    http://www.politicalforum.com/elections-campaigns/252407-gop-delegates-sue-free-romney.html

    they dont care if either romney or obama gets in as long as it is one of them because they are both willing puppets willing to serve them.

    I believe that is still within the margin of error, is it not? Besides, I think for an incumbent president being tied this close is NOT good. So, I'd say the thread title should be the reverse. One reason I say that is that some of the experts say that typically those that are undecided about an incumbent this late in the game, usually end up going for the challenger. There is a reason they won't commit to the president who just finished 4 years that they can examine. They aren't all that impressed with the record or are downright unhappy about it.

    Most polling companies are being paid by someone and they word their questions to achieve the outcome they desire. Not always does it reflect the actual thoughts of those polled. You can bet your bippy that if the media says he's down, he's really up.

    The Outcome of the 2012 election won't be determined by the will of the American People as much as it will by the efficency and dedication of our voter fraud prevention law enforcement personel.

    Any election can turn rapidly on a mis-step or gaff during a debate or some monumentus tragic event, but this election is much more likely to be heavily influenced by how much vote fraud the new and improved, federally funded, and recently renamed ACORN will be able to pull off.

    Control over the polls is an important part of achieving vast voter fraud, since the exit polls disagreeing with the vote count is one of the checks and balances on the Integrity of the the election. Polls are also used to PUSH un-decideds and un-likely-to-votes out in support.

    The Left Knows how important control over polling agencies are, and I suspect they're working over-time right now to secure control over the major sources of polling information.

    What I don't know, and wish I did, is what polling agency(s) are still relative un-biased and believable?

    Why do you think women will support oboobma? They are hurt just as badly as men by the (*)(*)(*)(*)e dup economy. And I doubt if many GOP women admire the negress Winfrey. Your thinking is much too simplistic.

    Do you honestly think there is not a decent chance that states like Ohio. Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin that have been hurt badly by the (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up economy may not go GOP???????? The only Midwestern state that is a Obama lock is Illinois, and if they would be careful about only allowing legal voters to vote, he may not win there either.

    Realclearpolitics notably posts old data.

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Mitt Romney attracting 46% of the vote, while President Obama earns 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

    Fair enough. We have no way of knowing then who is up or down at any given time unless we just assume Obama is always losing as if he was up they would say he was up, and if he was down they would say he was up. So best to not even speculate on it, and debate the issues.

    http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_new...-nbcwsj-poll-obama-romney-remain-in-dead-heat

    The important part:
    ---
    In the poll, the president leads his presumptive challenger by three points among registered voters, 47 to 44 percent, ...

    Among swing-state respondents in the poll – those living in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin – Obama leads Romney, 50 to 42 percent.
    ---

    This isn't an accident. The Obama team is not stupid, and has very intentionally been concentrating their spending where it matters most. They have been pounding Romney on the Bain issue, and getting very good results from that strategy. The popular vote might be close, but the electoral vote won't be. Winning 80-20 in Utah and 70-30 in Alabama isn't going to help Romney, since there's no reward for being close in the popular vote.

    As long as he and Obama are only against one another and the voting public continues to pretend that we have no other choices, both will have a hard time beating the other because neither has much support beyond their party-line-voters. Neither is a very good choice for the nation's highest office. The same has been true of candidates ever since Bush & Gore, if not earlier.

    You make a good point, but believe me, Romney is smart enough and has more than enough money to contest in all of those states too.

    First off that's an NBC poll,,,highly suspect, and Romni has not started spending like Obama yet,,,you know that right? You also realize Romni is way ahead in money as well,,,correct? There is a reason the Romni camp is holding back, but when they do decide to unload that money Obama wont be able to keep up.

    In 2012, it won't be the amount of money spent on the campaigns, debates or airtime that will make the difference.

    The Robert's decision, for good or ill, puts the 2012 election in a mode of a referendum on wether America becomes a Euro-Style (or worse, Russian Cleptocracy Style) socialist country, or remains predominately a capitalistic society.

    No significant amount of airtime or campaign money is going to change that situation or sway most voters from the position they held two months ago.

    What will make a difference is how much money is spent on Acorn-Style Get-out-the-fraud-vote efforts.

    If the forces and factions that want socialism are willing to do again what they did in 2008, paying people $70-120 per registered and fraudulently voting registrations of Mickey and Donald, and those want honest elections do nothing about it, America goes socialist.

    2012 won't be decided by the campaign, debate or inspiring speeches, but by voter fraud, graft and corruption.

    Deep down inside, we all knew this by July of 2008, when it became clear that Obama, as indicated by his first 100 days actions and appointments, was a classic mode, corrupt Chicago politician.

    What remains to be seen, does the rest of the country have enough courage and integrity to stand up and stop the fraud?

    Think back to what happened after the "Fall of the Wall" in Russia, and the take-over of their Government by the Cleptocracy.

    In many ways, America is more at risk today, because of President Obama means and methods, than it ever was by the threat of NAZI Axis alliance and aggression in WWII.

    With an invading army you can at least shoot back. The Republicans I think understand that attempting to match the Democrats in Voter Fraud, Cronnie Government-Corporate Deals, and under-the-table Health Insurance Company Bribes, defeats the any point in winning.

    If Obama wins, my grandchildren will live their the majority of their lives in a very ugly, corrupt, racist, and poverty stricken America.

    Poll reliability will often be debated but here's a question worth considering. Where is Obama's support?

    The African American vote will remain, but less turnout could be a factor worth considering.

    The Hispanic Vote is while tilted towards Obama not yet large enough to drastically and overwhelmingly impact the College.

    The Unions? Membership is down across the entire country and further downsizing could occur.

    The Youth VOte, of which Obama garnered 66% in 2008, is now unemployed and frustrated.

    The elderly vote? Not after Obama Care drastically reduces allocations to Medicaid and Medicare.

    The issue, where do the Clinton Democrats ultimately vote. Furthermore, if there is a lack of enthusiasm, could that create a vacuum for Romney to take the dialogue. The support around Obama does not appear as cohesive as that of Romney's.

    This election will come down to Ohio and Virginia. I think North Carolina, Florida, and even Nevada are already in Romney's favor. But here's the fundamental question, Where are all of the Obama Supporters? Where is that enthusiasm that took the narrative in 2008? I cannot find anybody willing to stand up and Proudly Say, "I'm an Obama guy."

    I've always felt incumbent Presidents are most tested and decisions are made during the summer. Over the course of Hollidays and in the relaxing moments (4th of July, Labor Day, ect), Americans must decide if they trust the current Administration or not.

    I don't see a lot of trust.

    Barack is ahead in the only poll that matters. Political fundraising (http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/). He has been able to raise almost twice as much as Romney.

    As a result, every news outlet in America will be telling us until election day how great the economy is, and how far ahead Obama is in the polls.

    Couldn't agree with you more. I am so concerned for my children and my grandchildren that they would have to struggle under another 4 years of this socialist/marxist freakoid potus. Its going to be up to the legitimate voters who are comprised of Christian/Conservative old white male & female curmudgeons to save America by flocking to the polls.
