Obama 2012?

Obama Leads In Four Major Swing States As Romney Looks Likely To Take Virginia, North Carolina: Polls

While the presidential candidates backed off the campaign trail Saturday to prep for their last debate, the race remained a dead heat, with poll numbers reconfirming that President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are in a dogfight to woo some of the major swing states before the election next month.

The Democratic panic that broke out after the lack of movement in a Gallup poll after Obama appeared to win the second presidential debate this week appears to have been overblown. Statistics guru Nate Silver of the New York Times predicts that Obama is still favored to win the election mostly because of his numbers in the major swing states. In most of them, he is still up on Romney, even after the GOP candidate's wave of momentum folwing the first debate.

Part of the reason for Romney’s favorability rating in Gallup's national tracking polls is his overwhelming lead in the South. Saturday's Gallup poll was Romney 51, Obama 45, unchanged form Friday. It was a seven-day average, with about half the survey taken after the second debate.

Silver wrote that despite Romney's six-point lead in the Gallup numbers, he isn’t necessarily closer to a victory in November because of his relative difficulty in the swing states. On the latest polls Saturday, Obama led in Ohio, Wisconsin and Colorado by three percentage points, according to Electoral-Vote.com. Obama was also ahead by four in Nevada while Romney looked increasingly likely to take North Carolina’s 15 electoral votes.

Still up in the air is how Virginians will cast their votes. Talking Points Memo reported that a Democratic-leaning poll credited Obama with a two-point lead but the incumbent is facing a high negative approval rating and an increasingly popular Romney.

Hey JTT - but don't you think Obama is a murderous asshole too?

Now the SS Romney is starting to sink back into the swamp of bullshit whence it came.
Obama for the win !

This is Baptist country, and to Baptists, Mormonism is a cult, and definitely not Christian.

I guess you're talking about me JTT.

What I can't figure out is what it is that you think I'm supposed to do about all the terrible things you talk about.

None of you, that 'you' does include you, Snood, seem to have any problem falling all over yourselves condemning various and sundry for their moral failings as regards rapes, child molestations, murder, brutality to one's citizens, brutal dictators, ... but y'all can't seem to come to grips with your own country's deep moral failings as regards the poor and the innocent of the world.

Why don't you consider doing exactly what you do for all these situations and apply them equally to the misdeeds of the US? It's not like you lack for material, or degree of truly heinous behavior.

I'd really like to know what you want the people on A2K to do as a result of reading what you write?

I'm not being coy; I'd really like to know what you want the people on A2K to do as a result of reading what you write?

Why wouldn't anyone want to discuss and attempt to fix/stop those very things that make a mockery of all the US is supposed to stand for?

'Discuss' I can understand. "Attempt to fix/stop" - could you explain that part a little?

Every year since 1980, the candidate that has won the Plain Dealer endorsement has won both Ohio and election. They just endorsed Obama
