Romney 2012?

In July, 36% of people said they were voting for Romney, and 59% said they were voting against Obama. So in terms of Republicans, 60% said the reason they were voting was to get rid of Obama. Thirty-six percent of them said they were voting because they liked Romney. Now it's entirely reversed. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans say that they now are voting for Romney, and just 36% say they're voting to get rid of Obama.

What this means is that Romney has connected with people, and I have sensed this. I have sensed this even before the first debate, but the first debate was a key in making this happen. But this is where, by the way... The good news in this is that this is where all this enthusiasm is coming from. If among Republicans in July, 60% said, "Yeah, I'm voting, but I don't care for Romney. I'm just gotta get rid of Obama," and that's now switched, that means added Republican enthusiasm.

Republicans know what a scumbag their candidate is. They just can't say it anymore...

By 19% to 15%, a slightly higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats have already voted. When those who intend to vote before Election Day are factored in, the gap is similar: 37% of Republicans vs. 33% of Democrats.

However, when one looks at the voting intentions of likely voters according to candidate support, the political impact for the two candidates appears to be roughly equal. Of Barack Obama’s supporters, 15% have already voted and a total of 33% indicate they will vote early. Of Mitt Romney’s supporters, the figures are 17% and 34%, respectively.

Romney Leads Among Early Voters, Similar to His Likely Voter Lead

Thus far, early voters do not seem to be swaying the election toward either candidate.

Romney currently leads Obama 52% to 45% among voters who say they have already cast their ballots. However, that is comparable to Romney’s 51% to 46% lead among all likely voters in Gallup’s Oct. 22-28 tracking polling. At the same time, the race is tied at 49% among those who have not yet voted but still intend to vote early, suggesting these voters could cause the race to tighten. However, Romney leads 51% to 45% among the much larger group of voters who plan to vote on Election Day, Nov. 6.

CLAIM: On page 16, entitled “The ONLY Acceptable Forms of ‘Proof of Residency”, the third bullet point says “Any other identification card issued by an employer in the normal course of business and bearing a photo of the cardholder, but not including a business card.” The sixth bullet point also said any college ID card “must include a photo”.

FACT: Wisconsin’s new voter ID law, which would have required these photos in order to vote, was struck down by Wisconsin state judges. It is not in effect for the November 2012 election.

CLAIM: Any “person [who] has been convicted of treason, a felony, or bribery” isn’t eligible to vote. (Page 10)

FACT: Once a person who has been convicted of a felony completes his or her sentence, including probation and fines, that person is eligible to vote.

CLAIM: Page 16 lists 10 items as “The ONLY Acceptable Forms of “Proof of Residency”. (click on link at the source)

FACT: Not only are two of the items patently false — those that say photo ID is required — but the list used is far from complete. There are many other documents people can use to prove residency that are not included, such as letters from public schools, student loan papers, correspondance with a Native American tribe in WIsconsin, vehicle registration, and food stamp correspondances.

CLAIM: “If a handicapped voter is unable to come into the polls to vote, an assistant can deliver the ballot to the voter if the CEI verifies the elector’s proof of residency.” (Page 19)

FACT: Under Wisconsin law, the CEI (Chief Election Inspector) does not have to verify proof of residency so long as the voter is registered.

CLAIM: “Election Observers should not assist [voters].” (Page 20)

FACT: A voter can ask for assistance from anyone, including a poll watcher, so long as the voter initiates the request and does not engage in electioneering.

Arguably, the ObamaMedia is more thrilled for the arrival of Hurricane Sandy than Barack Obama. While Obama gets the chance to act presidential (as he should, considering the nature of this storm), the ObamaMedia will finally have a legitimate excuse NOT to cover Benghazi, the failures of the administration to secure our diplomats abroad and the subsequent cover-up of the Obama administration. The NYC/DC press corps loves a good story, that’s for sure, as long as the good story doesn’t threaten the reelection of their creation, Barack Obama. Now not only do they have a pretty sensational story to report, Superstorm Sandy, but they also get to report on how their man -- their sort-of-a-God -- managed to execute his duties as president in a studly, almost flawless fashion. They can’t write these types of stories about Obama’s handling of the economy, or of foreign affairs like Benghazi, but they sure will find a way to write them about Sandy.

The same ObamaMedia that is frantically and painstakingly covering every aspect of this storm has been resistant to cover the disaster that has been unfolding over the last four years. Sandy will result in billions in damage. Obama’s policies have cost us almost $6 trillion. We will recover from the damage done by Sandy, I’m not so sure that this nation can recover from four more years of Barack Obama. Now think about that one --- The damage from Sandy will be fixed within the years. We can’t be that certain about Obama’s damage. First, he has to be defeated one week from today. Then it is going to take some exemplary leadership and many years to recover from the damage the Chicago political thug has wreaked around our country and the world.

Here’s another way to compare the two disasters. Apparently the looters have been abuzz on Twitter, announcing their plans to loot houses and businesses as the hurricane made landfall. The National Guard is being sent out to deal with this sort of behavior. For years Twitter and YouTube have been infested with the messages of tens of thousands of looters, parasites and moochers who get away with and brag about their plundering the pockets of the achievers each and every single day. The only difference is that they do this --- send their messages and seize the property of others --- under the color of law. No National Guard required. In fact, the government promotes their actions and enables them.

The point to all of this is that the media has their disaster to report – and they’re doing a fantastic job … with Superstorm Sandy. There’s a greater disaster out there. One that doesn’t threaten buildings. One that doesn’t flood businesses. One that doesn’t leave people stranded on roofs and construction cranes hanging precariously from tangled cables over city streets. This disaster is destroying economic liberty. It has already destroyed millions of jobs – the livelihood of millions of families across the nation. It has left prized businesses in ruins. This disaster is on course for destroying a 236 year-old experiment in government that has lifted more people out of poverty and into prosperity than any other system of government in the history of mankind. Unlike the storm, the media had a hand in creating this disaster. The spent days plotting the course of Sandy, but wouldn’t plot the course of Obama. They knew the damage Sandy could do, but minimized the damage done by a sworn enemy of capitalism in the White House.

Hurricanes change course on their own. With Obama it’s the people who have to change the course … and they get their chance to do this next Tuesday.

One of Mitt Romney’s biggest supporters, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, had nothing but praise for President Barack Obama today, as his state prepares to rebuild from the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.

“I have to say, the administration, the president, himself and FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate have been outstanding with us so far,” Christie said on Good Morning America. “We have a great partnership with them.”
