The latest Mason-Dixon poll of likely voters in Florida conducted for the Tampa Bay Times/Bay News 9/Miami Herald has Mitt Romney surging ahead of President Barack Obama 51-44 with 4% undecided, a substantial change from last month’s survey which had Obama up by a point 48-47.

The poll of 800 likely voters was conducted subsequent to last week’s commanding debate performance by Romney, and the poll reflects the likelihood that many people were indeed swayed Scissors-32x32.png

Wasserman Schultz’s ‘Mile-High’ Campaign Dilemma

 

October 16, 2012 | Filed under: Florida Review | Posted by: Javier Manjarres

By Javier Manjarres

Questions regarding possible campaign finance violations continue to plague Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz as her Federal Elections Commission (FEC) reports are coming under increased scrutiny. Just last month, the Shark Tank pointed out that Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz had violated FEC laws when she failed to affix the proper disclaimer to one of her campaign solicitations.

But now her campaign appears to have committed another possible FEC violation with Scissors-32x32.png

There is an ad that I can't find. It apparently shows a recent question asked of Joe or Obama and then shows Kennedy answering it,using an old clip of him. Has anyone seen it?

Which countries are freaking out most about Romney's surge?

Posted By Uri Friedman, J. Dana Stuster Tuesday

October 16, 2012

 

With the U.S. presidential election now closer than ever, the press is brimming with speculation about whether Barack Obama, after turning in a lackluster performance in the first debate, can reverse Mitt Romney's momentum during his second outing tonight. And not just the U.S. media. News outlets from India to Israel are busy dissecting Obama's setback, Romney's comeback, and what the new state of play in the race means for their countries. Here's a snapshot of some of the most colorful coverage in recent days:

As the mom of a twice-deployed American soldier, I am VERY glad to see this ad.

 

One of the problems I have with many on the Left is they would be embarrassed by this.

A brief update from a longtime D.C. political operative shows calm in the storm that is the final weeks of a presidential campaign – and regarding last night’s most recent debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, the sentiment appears to be NO WORRIES.

Ok, I got no time to give right now but you made it more than clear you want to hear what I have to say on the debate. So here goes.

Obama won. Just deal with it and move on. I’d call it a toss up until the moderator stopped the governor’s momentum on Benghazi. You already did something on that yourself. That was about as blatant a moment of media bias smack in the middle of a debate that I can recall. Then she has the nerve to go on her

network right after the debate and say “oops, Romney was actually right”!!!!!

Whatever. That’s how it happened and there isn’t anything anyone can do to change that. I’ll put it to you this way. Obama won last night but Romney didn’t lose. That isn’t me trying to doctor up what happened. It’s fact. People saw what Crowley did. Her own network was uncomfortable with it. My guess is that for the first debate the word to the moderator was to help Obama. This time it was to save Obama. That’s what she did. We expected they would try and help. We were caught maybe just a bit off guard on how aggressive she was in being so open about saving him. The questions she chose. That group of so called “undecideds”???? Nope. It was about 80% pro-Obama all the way.

Again, I’ll say whatever. So what. Scissors-32x32.png

At Best a Fleeting Tie for Obama. The Reality is a Cancer on His Campaign

By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 17th, 2012 at 12:31 AM | 183

RESIZE: AAA

I think Mitt Romney won the debate, but not by much. He flubbed a few good opportunities to really score decisive blows on the President, but definitely drew more blood. The CNN polling and CBS News polling confirm it. While more thought Barack Obama won the debate, largely because his last performance was so bad, clear majorities outside the margin of error thought Mitt Romney would be best on the economy, jobs, the deficit, etc. That suggests Romney did win, but people viewed Obama’s debate performance as an improvement over the first one. In fact, while other areas of the debate may overshadow this point, Romney deftly dispatched Obama on his economic record. That is the one issue that matters. It got so bad, Obama had to trot out Planned Parenthood and Big Bird.

Additionally, if you ever wondered who could be undecided at this point snip

Romney For President Announces Military Advisory Council

 

“I am deeply honored to have the support of so many of our most accomplished military leaders,” said Mitt Romney. “Together we will restore our military might and ensure that America can defend and protect our interests, our allies, and our people, both at home and abroad. I will never forget that the greatest responsibility of an American president is in exercising the role of commander-in-chief. That role is sacred, and when I am president, I will never put my own political interests ahead of our military and our men and women in uniform.”

 

“I’m proud to be supporting Mitt Romney in this critical election about our nation’s future,” said General Tommy Franks, USA (Ret.), Past Commander, U.S. Central Command. “Governor Romney is committed to restoring America’s leadership role in the world. Instead of playing politics with our military, he will strengthen our defense posture by reversing the President’s devastating defense cuts. The fact of the matter is that we cannot afford another four years of feckless foreign policy. We need level-headed leadership which will protect our interests and defend our values with clarity and without apology.”
