    Mr Obama pulling away; even among republicans.

    Romney’s Virigina Supporters Hope For Victory, But Fear Obama May Pull Through

    DOSWELL, VA — The crowd at Mitt Romney’s rally here Thursday lacked the partisan fire of the people who showed up to celebrate Paul Ryan’s addition to the ticket or the over-the-moon optimism of the ones who appeared in the wake of his first debate victory. Instead the prevailing mood was one of exhausted, hard-earned hope. Romney was still in the game and that was enough for now.

    I am genuinely concern about your health after the election mc mark. If you should be in H-town near the Medical Center for whatever reasons, I'll tell my staff to work you in so that I can treat you before any permanent damage will take place.

    I will not charge you anymore than what ObamaCare allows me to.

    Thanks for the concern, but I'm live in a place with much better doctors and hospitals.

    Watching jopatmc grovel is like watching a fat woman in a bikini: You ain't gonna get anything close to what you want.

    You too thegary, I can see you after the election. Since I like you, there will be no charge for the office visit. You are still responsible for labworks and meds.

    What place is that mc mark? Houston has one of the best medical centers in the whole world. Many patients travel to our Medical Center from all over the world. My colleagues who practice concierge medicine have all gotten rich from the wealthy foreign patients.

    I think he's entered the bargaining phase of the Kübler-Ross model. We're with you jopatmc, just one more phase before you hit acceptance.

    via TPM

    Mitt Romney will deliver a speech that his campaign says "will lay out the closing arguments for his candidacy for President of the United States" Friday morning in West Allis, Wisconsin.

    The final jobs report before Tuesday's election is scheduled to be released early Friday morning.

    Added 171,000 new jobs which beat most expectations.

    Honestly I don't think these numbers are significant enough one way or the other to be any type of game changer. Both camps will spin it as a positive for them, but I can't see it making any impact this late in the contest.

    It's a game-changer in the sense Romney needed a Hail-Mary pass and didn't get it. This was his last chance for a miraculous boost of momentum that could put him over the top.

    # was 121,000 in October of last year, so yeah, it's not a bad number. And agree that both camps can use it.

    "Not good enough!"

    "Steady improvement! Don't go backwards to old policies!"

    blah blah.

    The economy has added jobs for 25 straight months. There are now 580,000 more jobs than when Obama took office.

    An amazing turnaround from where we were 4 years ago.
