A ringing endorsement from the Speaker! John Boehner: Voters Need Not Love Mitt Romney The Ohio Republican made the remarks when an unidentified woman asked during a question-and-answer session: “Can you make me love Mitt Romney?” “No,” Boehner said. “Listen, we’re just politicians. I wasn’t elected to play God. The American people probably aren’t going to fall in love with Mitt Romney. I’ll tell you this: 95 percent of the people that show up to vote in November are going to show up in that voting booth, and they are going to vote for or against Barack Obama. “Mitt Romney has some friends, relatives and fellow Mormons ... some people that are going to vote for him.
I don't know what will decide this election. Mitt Romney is the perfect soulless conviction-less corpo-robot that would say anything to get elected and serve the 1% and their business interests. He is the polar opposite of the self-interest the majority of voters should exercise their voting rights for. It shouldn't even be a race, but yet it is.
More good news for Mr Obama. Swing states poll: Amid barrage of ads, Obama has edge When it comes to campaign ads in the presidential race, there are two Americas. In most of the country, just about the only time campaign ads for the presidential candidates are on TV is when there's a news story about the ads. In the handful of battleground states that are likely to decide the outcome of the election, though, viewers can't escape arguably the most intense early barrage of ads in American political history. "In a swing state, you're part of the presidential campaign," says political scientist Darrell West, author of Air Wars. "Everywhere else, you're outside." In a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll of swing states, an overwhelming majority of voters remember seeing campaign ads over the past month; most voters in other states say they haven't. In the battlegrounds, one in 12 say the commercials have changed their minds about President Barack Obama or Republican Mitt Romney — a difference on the margins, but one that could prove crucial in a close race. At this point, Obama is the clear winner in the ad wars. Among swing-state voters who say the ads have changed their minds about a candidate, rather than just confirmed what they already thought, 76% now support the president, vs. 16% favoring Romney.
Yikes! One thing we know for sure: John Boehner doesn't love Mitt Romney. He should have been a little more diplomatic and supportive of his nominee. What he said is true: The election is a referendum on Obama (because Romney doesn't bring anything compelling to the table other than being the alternative). Maybe Romney's nickname should be The Alternative.
Is this some kind of new paradigm where someone can say something like this and we're just supposed to go ..uh, okay....? Romney: Black Leaders Offered Me Secret Support Mitt Romney told Fox News Wednesday that black leaders support him, but are afraid to say so publicly.
Not sure where they are trying to go with this one or how serious, but the idea does sound perverted.
Unbelievable that any self respecting media outlet would operate like that. A few more commentaries on this: The Evolution of Reporters Into Stenographers Is Nearly Complete Whatever It Is, It’s Not Journalism The 'Most Transparent Administration Ever' Doctors Its Quotes
WORST YET TO COME FOR MITT Rising number of insiders now claiming that the Dems have dirt on Romney (presumably of the financial variety only) that they are holding for a rainy day, or two. Note prime insider Mark Halperin: “For now, without a doubt, Romney is losing on two fronts: the politico-media dialogue is not focused on the Obama economic record and Romney is being defined by the opposition….most of those nervous Republicans would be even more nervous if they knew what Chicago was still, patiently, sitting on.”
It will be Curly. Larry has zero chance (because he is nowhere near ready for prime time on a national ticket) and Moe is too unexciting (just looking at his picture makes me yawn). Curly is the perfect guy to throw red meat at the base for Romney.
At the same time, these hardball attacks on Romney are a sign of desperation for Obama. He knows it will be rough sledding until election day and it's essential for him to highlight Romney's weaknesses instead of running on his record and the economy. Romney and the GOP will hit back just as hard and by the time November comes around, voters might be disgusted with both guys. For more people than normal, it could be a matter of holding your nose while voting for the lesser evil.
I'm getting sick and tired of the "un-American" remarks. We know it's code for not-White, dicks. This is a nation of immigrants, accept it or the un-Americans won't vote for your bigot-ass party. In a traditional lib playbook, the Obama Campaign would react like this out of desperation. I think they're being proactive to prevent Republicans from framing Obama first and putting him on the defensive. Seriously...Rashmon's formatting and linking looks and sounds Drudge-an/Trader Jorge-an. I totally agree with the 2nd paragraph.... I just read the months old McCain Opposition file on Romney leak and Romney's positions are so across the board that I wouldn't mind voting for him if only I knew that he'd support it without polling number to back it up...
Obama just solidified 8,000 votes, plus families and friends, including a chunk of Hispanic and Native American voters by providing health care to temporary and seasonal wildland firefighters. He visited the Waldo Canyon Fire a few days ago and then the administration came out with the announcement: It may have been planned already, but this is the first time a President has visited a fire and then done something for firefighters. Good job, Obama.
Oh, you people! This proves rich folks ain't got no soul. I'm damn glad the Rev. Al Green is part of my America.
In other election news, it seems T-Paw and Romney are similar kinds of assholes, er, I mean, jokesters, thus making him likely to be the Veep nominee.
