Valin Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The Right Reasons: NY Times: In Final Days of the Race, Fighting County by County JEFF ZELENY and JIM RUTENBERG October 27, 2012 WESTERVILLE, Ohio — President Obama and Mitt Romney are plunging into the final nine days of a multibillion-dollar presidential race focused not only on the seven most competitive states, but also on battleground counties within them that could tip the balance of an exceedingly close contest They include the suburbs here in Franklin County, Ohio, where many young married women turned to Mr. Obama in 2008 out of frustration with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but could turn against him now for perceived failures on his campaign promises and a slow-to-recover economy. In Colorado, the contested territory is Arapahoe County, where Mr. Romney’s campaign is courting Hispanic business owners who are frustrated with the national health care law. It is Hillsborough County in Florida, where both sides agree that whoever wins the independent voters is likely to be president. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Unfit for office [Reader Post] By: DrJohn The 3 am call came and Obama didn’t answer. Virtually nothing this administration has said about the attacks in Benghazi is true. They lied about what happened, they lied about who was responsible, they lied about the cause. They watched them die. On Fox News this morning, Rep. Louie Gohmert said that an attack on a US Ambassador is the equivalent of an attack on a four star general. It’s something that a President knows about. And there is really no doubt Obama knew what was going on. When the consulate came under attack there were at least three requests for help. Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that three urgent requests from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent attack nearly seven hours later were denied by officials in the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators to “stand down” rather than help the ambassador’s team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11. It is simply mindboggling to think that an administration would give orders not to defend an Ambassador and the Americans around him. Who gave these orders? The Fox report suggests it was the CIA “chain of command.” But word comes from David Petraeus, the head of the CIA, that those orders did not come from the CIA. Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: “No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ” Then Kristol suggests those orders had to come directly from Barack Obama. So who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in need? Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No. It would have been a presidential decision. There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need? Obama was asked directly about this and he refused to answer the question: In an interview with a Denver TV reporter Friday, President Obama twice refused to http://floppingaces.net/2012/10/28/unfit-for-office-reader-post/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 How Team Romney sees the polls October 28, 2012 | 12:08 am Byron York Chief Political Correspondent The Washington Examiner Mitt Romney has led Barack Obama in the Gallup national tracking poll for nearly three weeks. He has led the Rasmussen national tracking poll for about the same time. And now that the Washington Post and ABC News are publishing their own tracking poll, he’s leading in that one, too. It seems reasonable to conclude that, at this moment in late October, Romney is leading the presidential race. Those results have led to a lot of nervousness among Democrats and a number of reassuring analyses from party operatives and left-leaning journalists. No matter what the national polls say, they argue, President Obama is still leading in those states that will lead to victory in the Electoral College. Their hopes are focused on Ohio, where the RealClearPolitics average of polls shows Obama leading by 2.3 points. The president also leads in New Hampshire by 1.4 points and Iowa by 2.3 points, while Romney leads in Florida by 1.8 points and Virginia and Colorado are tied, all in the RealClearPolitics averages. It’s the states, particularly Ohio, that really matter, argues New York Times poll analyst (and former DailyKos blogger) Nate Silver. “Mr. Obama is the favorite [in Ohio], and http://washingtonexaminer.com/how-romney-sees-the-polls/article/2511912#.UI30ucXA_HS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ohio gov. predicts Romney win as auto politics dominate By Michael O'Brien, NBC News Ohio's Republican governor said Sunday that private polls show Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney beating President Barack Obama in the all-important battleground state of Ohio just as auto industry politics assume a dominant role in the closing days of the campaign. Ohio Gov. John Kasich ® predicted outright that Romney would win Ohio on "Meet the Press" and, with it, the presidential election — a overall contest which Kasich said wouldn't be that close. "Right now, I believe we're currently ahead. Internals show us currently ahead," he said, referring to the private polling candidates routinely conduct. "Honestly, I believe that Romney is going to carry Ohio." http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10/28/14757523-ohio-gov-predicts-romney-win-as-auto-politics-dominate?lite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logicnreason Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Almost every "poll" present is all about "popular vote". We are all aware that the "popular" vote may give a particular candidate a "warm and fuzzy" feeling....it may also give a candidate "bragging rights" of a sort all about how it was they who really "won" the election!! However, that said, all of us are aware, that under current law, it is the Electoral College that decides the winner. Where are the polls "projecting" the elecoral college count? Further, why aren't these the only ones paid attention to? The overall "popular vote" really means very very little....if anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
