Draggingtree Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Calling The Election Today By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 9th, 2012 at 07:41 AM | Is it just me or does there seem to be some organized spin out over the weekend to call the election for President Obama now? Check out the Politico for the best of these, but everyone is out doing it. read more http://www.redstate.com/2012/09/09/calling-the-election-today/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 State of the race: Advantage, Obama By JIM VANDEHEI and MIKE ALLEN | 9/9/12 8:08 AM EDT President Barack Obama heads out of the national political conventions with a much clearer path to winning, top advisers to Mitt Romney privately concede. The Romney campaign, while pleasantly surprised by Obama’s lackluster prime-time performance, said the post-convention bounce they hoped for fell well short of expectations and privately lament that state-by-state polling numbers — most glaringly in Ohio — are working in the president’s favor. “Their map has many more routes to victory,” said a top Republican official. Two officials intimately involved in the GOP campaign said Ohio leans clearly in Obama’s favor now, with a high single-digit edge, based on their internal tracking numbers of conservative groups. Romney can still win the presidency if he loses Ohio, but it’s extremely difficult. The Obama and Romney campaigns anticipate little movement in national polls before the first debate on Oct. 3, Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/80949.html#ixzz25ymDHl2w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Obama and Romney campaigns seek breakthrough strategy By Dan Balz and Philip Rucker, Published: September 8The Washington Post With the two political conventions now over, Election 2012 turns to a month that could be both fallow and consequential. Fallow because the coming three weeks are the prelude to October and the presidential and vice presidential debates that could be more decisive than in the past. Consequential because the candidate who has led in mid-September generally has gone on to win in November. Republican nominee Mitt Romney got no significant bounce from his convention in Tampa. Preliminary indications suggest that President Obama may have done better, although it will take more evidence to know whether it’s real or lasting, given Friday’s weak jobs report. Advisers to both candidates say they anticipate the continuation of a close race and that they’re satisfied with where they stand. “We’re very comfortable with the reality of what this race is about, and we’re not in the momentum business,” said Stuart Stevens, Romney’s chief strategist. “We’re in the talking-to-voters-about-their-lives business.” David Axelrod, chief strategist of the president’s reelection campaign, said read morehttp://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-and-romney-campaigns-seek-breakthrough-strategy/2012/09/08/0e84d5a8-f935-11e1-8b93-c4f4ab1c8d13_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollyannaish Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Ok, I have to admit I'm getting nervous now. This should not be this close at this point! Somebody (other than Obama) tell me why we aren't facing a horrific outcome. The fact Obama missed that critical deadline but is still ahead has me a bit freaked.

Valin Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Ok, I have to admit I'm getting nervous now. This should not be this close at this point! Good! Always run like your ten points behind. I think (or what passes for thinking in my world ) part of the problem is so many people on our side have been saying for some time this is going to be a blowout, that some expected Romney to be up by a large margin. I've never really bought into that meme. Remember no matter what else you or I may think of the Democrats, they are very very good at running a campaign.

Draggingtree Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Obama gets bigger 'bounce' than Romney did, but it’s more like a 'blip' Post-convention polling shows a modest 'bounce' for President Obama, which is better than Mitt Romney did last week. But the race is way too close to call, and many voters remain undecided. By Brad Knickerbocker, Staff writer / September 8, 2012 Early returns are in, and it looks like President Obama got more of a poll bounce right after his party’s convention than Mitt Romney did out of the GOP’s big event. Gallup’s daily tracking poll for Friday put Obama's job approval rating at 52 percent, the highest it’s been since the killing of Osama bin Laden. Obama has also moved to a three-point lead over Mitt Romney among registered voters (48-45 percent), up from Obama's one-point margin over the last nine days. “It is possible that these upticks are short-lived and that the race will devolve back to a parity by next week,” Gallup editor-in-chief Frank Newport wrote in his morning-after analysis. “On the other hand, if Obama builds on and sustains his higher job approval rating and lead over Romney, it could signal a http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/DC-Decoder/2012/0908/Obama-gets-bigger-bounce-than-Romney-did-but-it-s-more-like-a-blip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggingtree Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 The Quote of the Decade: "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." ~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Published on Aug 15, 2012 by OPSECTeam Intelligence and Special Operations forces are furious and frustrated at how President Obama and those in positions of authority have exploited their service for political advantage. Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk. The unwarranted and dangerous public disclosure of Special Forces Operations is so serious -- that for the first time ever -- former operators have agreed to risk their reputations and go 'on the record' in a special documentary titled "Dishonorable Disclosures." Its goal is to educate America about serious breaches of security and prevent them from ever happening again. Use of military ranks, titles & photographs in uniform does not imply endorsement of the Dept of the Army or the Department of Defense. All individuals are no longer in active service with any federal agency or military service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
