What Do Latest Pa. Obama-Romney Polls Say?

Three polls out Tuesday show Obama with better numbers in Pennsylvania than he had a week ago

Is Pennsylvania safely won for President Barack Obama or will Governor Mitt Romney mount a last-minute campaign effort in the Keystone State?

Obama had what appeared to be a solid lead in Pennsylvania until the first presidential debate. Neither candidate has spent much money on the local airwaves.

Three polls out Tuesday show Obama with better numbers than he had a week ago.

"the Republican-led House and Democratic-led Senate by wide margins approved the resolution that Bush wanted"
Yes, after the Bush Administration duped them with knowingly false information.

Republican John Huntsman said it best about Mitt Romney: "He is a perfectly lubricated weathervane."

I don't think Hannah will be voting for any more members of the Bush family.
Hannah did you hear Mitt the Mormon slipped, admitting to the View ladies that he plans to invade Canada? Yep. Thank goodness. Avril Lavigne will replace Katy Perry and Tim Horton's to replace Starbucks. All good.

Your off-topic ad hominem comment is responsive how?

Your relating of GWB's actions with Iraq relates in any coherent way to a thread entitled Obama-Romney, how?
Hannah Goldestein November 4, 2012 at 02:19 am
If there is a lack of coherence, you alone are responsible for that -- you brought up Iraq in the first place.
Jack Minster November 4, 2012 at 02:26 am
Scroll up Hannah. David Curran brought up Iraq. I responded. Anything else to add?

The Washington Post published a story this evening headlined “Democrats in deep-blue Pa. voice confidence – and some nervousness.” A better title for the piece would have been, “Democrats in Pa voice nervousness – and some confidence,” the story focuses on the Democrat outlook in Pennsylvania – particularly the Philly suburbs – using Montgo as a barometer for the state.
“Having Romney come here, does it mean we are risk?” asked Allyson Schwartz, a Democratic congresswoman seeking her fifth term. “I’m nervous,” said Shirley Currie, a longtime local Democratic leader. “Did you hear that new Romney radio ad? It’s good.” Commissioner Josh Shapiro: “I really don’t think this race has changed that much,” he said. Citing Romney’s attempt to court moderates and independents, he said, “He has extreme positions on choice, and on gay marriage, and there is vast regional distaste for that here, including with moderate Republican women. I don’t see him catching fire in the suburbs, and if you don't catch fire here” in the four counties ringing Philadelphia, with their third of the total state vote, “you don’t win.” Shapiro’s comments demonstrate he fundamentally doesn’t understand that this election is all about Obama’s failed economic policies vs Romney’s plan for economic growth, new jobs and renewed prosperity. We Republican leaders know Mitt Romney has caught “fire in the suburbs.” Remember Chick-fil-A? :-)

Yes, please do remember Chick-fil-A and how they have said that they will no longer be making donations to anti-gay organizations!

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/02/chick-fil-a-appreciation-day-sets-record-restaurant-chain-says/ Is Chick-Fil-A's massive turnout a preview of Tuesday? Are the once sleeping conservative army roused from their complacent stupor ready for their voices to be heard? Will the 23 million Christian Americans who sat for McCain-Palin stand for Romney-Ryan? Yes Earnest. We remember.

That's sweetly wishful thinking, but polls don't bear out anything that resembles a PA win for Romney outside a huge and unexpected upset. I'm on the suburban cusp of Philly and I have seen a grand total of 2 Romney signs and know zero people even considering a Romney vote. I'm sure the middle of the state will run red, but the Philly suburbs, outside of Bucks, are completely unlikely to swerve right. For all the hyperbole, this year has reflected nothing more than how un-bullshit-able the people in PA are.
We want middle class manufacturing jobs, accept that coal is a last-generation resource, understand the need for social platforms in our large cities, and want religious tolerance and individual freedom for everyone. The Tea Party platform just doesn't reflect even the most conservative ideals of PA - this is a bipartisan state that incorporates fiscally conservative spending, smart social projects, and Made-in-America manufacturing. I think we'd all welcome a real conservative party, as a check and balance to liberal spending, but the plutocratic religious fundamentalist Tea Party extreme has been rejected here - kindly take that platform somewhere else.

And another example of a dedicated Obama Kool-Aid addict:
Democrat Jim Turner, who lives in North Carolina, stated on Facebook that he had voted four times already and plans on voting again. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JTOQVj0CS_4/UJV_HaqnMLI/AAAAAAAABwI/WPiafEtDKU8/s1600/Voter%2BFraud.jpg-large

Looking beyond the pathetic lies and manipulations of his Jeep ad, Mitt Romney claims he will create 12 million jobs over the next four years. According to Moody's Analytics, it's going to happen no matter who is president for the next four years:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2012/10/18/romneys-12-million-jobs-math-yet-another-dishonest-bait-and-switch/ Take away all the issues. It's Romney's fundamental dishonesty, willingness to manipulate facts and assumption that American voters are just plain stupid that makes him unacceptable to hold the office.
Jack Minster November 4, 2012 at 02:04 pm
All these fiscal fortune tellers and crystal ball pollsters like Nate Silver pushing their numbers for Obama, do not change the FACT that Obama himself said that by now, promising that implementing his policies, unemployment would be down to 5.2%.
But it's at 7.9%, Abraham. Pathetic lies and manipulation by Romney? Romney won't waste time blaming his predecessor and won't pass partisan legislation which deepens these problems. Anything else is noise. Keep spinning, Abraham.
Brad W. Cooper November 4, 2012 at 02:06 pm
Both candidates have basically no change plans in store for us. There will be nothing done to help the economy grow by cutting real things like the FED, government branches, foreign aid, and bailouts. The only person advocating this is Gary Johnson! Voting anyone else will not do a dam thing.

More bad news for Jack "off" Minster and the rest of the right wing nuts:
http://news.yahoo.com/obama-seems-early-vote-lead-key-states-204705391--election.html Tuesday can't get here soon enough! So these losers can realize how much time they wasted supporting an empty suit like Mitt Romney.

Early voting results give Mitt Romney a boost as more Republicans turn out to cast their ballot
Over eight million Americans have already voted ahead of November 6th general election Mitt Romney has improved on 2008 Republican figures for early votes cast President Obama appears to have matched his showing from four years ago Team Romney is not worried as the early voter lead for Obama is far less than it was for John McCain four years ago, knowing that voter turnout on Election Day will push Romney to a win. Obama carried Ohio in 2008 by a 250K vote. Evangelicals in Cuyahoga County alone would push Romney to a win in Ohio.

Thanks for the link Pub, it's an outstanding election site.

If the Princeton Election Consortium is leaving out all the candidates on most state ballots, they need to re-think Civics Class 101. What are they teaching? Or not, is the more important question? Better get out that syllabus, and start rewriting it ASAP.

Did it ever occur to you that comments like yours may be the best advertisement against voting for Romney and in favor of the President? Or, was that your goal?

Sharpie, what are you talking about?
jeff November 4, 2012 at 05:49 pm
Yes Chester County, PA also. Other parts of the country are pointing to some sheet metal union guys running around and yanking Romney / Ryan signs. Got caught and arrested but I doubt they will face any problems. Doens't take away from the fact the other side is abusing peoples First Amendment rights.
Abraham November 4, 2012 at 06:14 pm
Jack, Jack, Jack... "Romney won't waste time blaming his predecessor..." Romney and his Super PAC friends have built their entire campaign on blaming Obama.
Spent lots of time yesterday flipping between Fox and MSNBC watching the various appearances by the candidates. Obama's closing argument is 75-80% "here's what I've done and here's what I plan to do." Romney's speeches are 90% gloom and doom - "we may face another depression" - and blame Obama. If Obama had received an ounce of cooperation from the Repubs in Congress, the country would be in much better shape. Remember what Mitch McConnell promised in January 2009... So sad that the Repubs have party and ideology as their priority over the best interest of the country. Has Obama delivered on everything he promised? Of course not, but name a politician who has. At least President Obama is man enough to admit he has fallen short in some areas and made mistakes. You never hear that kind of honesty and humility coming from Romney, Bush, Boehner, Cantor or McConnell.

Just pointing out facts. You are also forgetting that money withdrawn from an IRA or 401k (exceptRead More Roth IRAs) are taxed at withdrawal. I prefer my government not punish good financial actions. Sorry it's a quirk of mine, I think we should reward those who make good decisions, not punish them.
Tony Simek May 6, 2013 at 06:35 pm
I agree with you Interested Bystander. Problem is that if you punish the ones making the badRead More decisions, the Federal government will be punished all the time. In the current climate, poor decision making gets rewarded by voters. The middle class doesn't have a chance.
Bill May 9, 2013 at 05:11 am
Naziti and Caroline Johnson so sorry to take so long to get back to you from your comments onRead More Sunday, May 5th, I didn't think I would have to respond. I re-posted Ken's comment because the REAL issue is "AARP selling out it's faithful supporters for BIG MONEY. So let me break it down so even the Soros trolls understand. ObamaCare guts SS and medicare reserve money by 750 Billion. Which ends these programs as we know them. AARP publicly backs ObamaCare. Seniors confused about OCare but trust AARP and their massive ad campaign for OCare. AARP contributes to re-election AARP becomes insurance provided for OCare. Unleashes host of insurance options that Seniors will be needing to make decisions about in next 2-3 years. Complicate the choices for Seniors so they fall back on who they have trusted in the past. Still unaware of the great deception perpetrated by AARP. OCARE fully enacted 2014. AARP gets steady $$$ insurance income now (not $16 membership fees for whoever posted that line above). SS and MediCare bankrupt (3/4 trillion $ stolen to fund OCare) Result for SENIORS. NO SS or MEDicare it's dissolved or becomes something less. Free OCare that sucks. Pay AARP for supplemental Ins. Prescriptions too expensive to purchase so go without or pay AARP for better plan. AARP richer and more powerful represents Gvmt Seniors - Self rule lost You see they screwed the very people that paid dues for their protection!
