In the upcoming Wisconsin primary, billed as perhaps the final opportunity to change the trajectory of the Republican presidential contest, frontrunner Mitt Romney leads Rick Santorum by seven percentage points, according to a new NBC News/Marist poll. But should he capture the nomination, Romney would start out as the underdog against President Barack Obama, whom Romney trails by double digits.

Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney speaks during an event at NuVasive, a maker of devices intended to improve spinal care, in San Diego on March 26, 2012 in California.
In Wisconsin’s April 3 Republican contest, the former Massachusetts governor gets support from 40 percent of likely primary voters, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a particular candidate. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum gets 33 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul gets 11 percent, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich gets 8 percent. Seven percent of respondents are undecided.
The poll – conducted March 26-27 – is consistent with the findings of a recent Marquette Law School survey, which found Romney leading Santorum by eight points. The Wisconsin race follows a familiar pattern: Romney holds the advantage over Santorum among liberal and moderate Republicans (43 percent to 24 percent), conservatives (42 percent to 33 percent), non-Tea Party supporters (42 percent to 31 percent), and those who earn $75,000 or more annually (47 percent to 32 percent).
Meanwhile, Santorum leads among very conservative primary voters (42 percent to 33 percent), strong Tea Party supporters (40 percent to 32 percent), and evangelical Christians (40 percent to 29 percent).
So far in all the GOP contests where there has been exit polling, Romney has won in every contest where evangelical voters have accounted for less than 50 percent of the electorate. And he has lost in every contest where that number has been higher than 50 percent.
The evangelical percentage among likely Wisconsin GOP primary voters, according to the NBC/Marist poll: 41 percent.
Obama leads in the general election
Looking ahead to the general election, the survey shows Obama holding a sizable advantage over his Republican opposition in this battleground state, which he carried in 2008 but where Republicans made big gains in the 2010 midterms.
Obama leads Romney in Wisconsin among registered voters, 52 percent to 35 percent, with 13 percent undecided. And he edges Santorum, 51 percent to 38 percent, with 11 percent undecided. The poll suggests, however, that both Romney and Santorum would have room to grow in the general election, given that a substantial portion of the undecided vote leans Republican.
Benefiting Obama is growing optimism about the state of the economy (52 percent believe the worst is behind them), as well as a more negative perception of the Republican Party (48 percent say the Democratic Party does a better job in appealing to those who aren’t hard-core supporters, while just 32 percent say that about the GOP).
What’s more, there’s a significant gender gap: Obama leads Romney among women by 25 points (55 percent to 30 percent) and men by 12 points (50 percent to 38 percent). The president’s job-approval rating in Wisconsin stands at 50 percent.
Divided over the recall
As for the recall contest of Republican Gov. Scott Walker, 46 percent of Wisconsin voters say they will support him in that race, while 48 percent indicate they’ll vote for the eventual Democratic candidate who will face off against the incumbent governor.
The approval rating for Walker – who sparked a firestorm of criticism in his effort to curb collective-bargaining rights for the state’s public-sector workers – sits at 48 percent approval, 48 percent disapproval. According to the poll, a majority of likely Republican voters say they’re following the recall more closely than the GOP presidential primary race, 51 percent to 37 percent.
The NBC/Marist poll of Wisconsin was conducted March 26-27 of 2,792 registered voters (with a margin of error of plus-minus 1.9 percentage points) and of 740 likely Republican primary voters (plus-minus 3.6 percentage points).

We can only hope that Romney beats Obama and the Republicans take both houses. Then, maybe our freedoms and liberty will be protected from this current totalitarian regime.
By George, I believe you've been drinking too much tea! Please do explain what freedoms and liberties you've lost and think you'll lose.
The only freedoms and liberties you'll lose is any defense from the burdens the GOP want to dump on you to protect the 1%. When you're broke, all the freedoms and liberties imaginable won't be worth anything.
You've already been dumbed-down by the GOP talking points.
yep then we will have an entitlement free america everyone will be on there own with the only ones dependant on a government check being the military and politicians, no more seniors gettin a handout medically or financially
Yes,...... unless you are a woman.
Poor George. Please explain to us what freedoms and liberty have been taken away from you. Please.
Poor George - You mean You hate the poor, elderly, disable and anyone else not the 1%
I'm I correct Georgy porgey?
Also Rush Limbaugh Officially Endorses Romney
Good for Rush
Yawns
Obama 2012
Its pretty much Obamas to lose. As someone who use to vote GOP....the problem with the GOP is too close to business and they never tell you their big ideas until after they have won an election. Scott Walker case and point. That you tell the voter before election. Iraq that you tell the voters before an election. Completely untrustworthy. Plus they are not Dems and not Libertarians. They the the half a$$ party.
On top of that Filipomney budget. - How do you pay off it? I'm not telling you. How are you going to cut taxes for the rich and how are you going to pay for it? I don't have to tell you just elect me and then I will tell you.

Hasn't that what Obama has done since he left his homeland in Kenya.
Oh, give it a rest. He is as American and you and me. Blame Obama for all your ills. Try looking in a mirror and do some soul searching. You'll find the evil is staring back at you
To Pat,
Actually law enforcement has proven that he (Obama) has forged documents. Yeah in spite of what you have been hearing, forged documents. Look at it this way, this law enforcement team has been used for many criminal cases, so if they are incorrect many people will need to have their cases dismissed, be released and compensated for those inaccuracies.
The E-Verify system has received national attention because of its ability to determine if prospective employees are illegal immigrants who have entered the United States without the legal authority to work. This is what is being used by all law enforcement, DHS, etc as an accurate, valid system. So if it is correct on Obama, then all who have been through it - their cases or what happened to them can stand. If it is incorrect on Obama, then they (the people E-Verify has been used against) need to be released, or compensated for the damage done to them by it.
By flagging fraudulent documents, including faked Social Security Numbers, the E-Verify system can assist an employer in the effort to make sure all prospective hires have authentic identification papers, including valid Social Security Numbers, issued to them and not to someone else.
President Obama was using a Social Security Number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in that state. Plus he has been using one issued to a dead man.
In addition, the records indicate the Social Security Number Barack Obama is using was issued between 1977 and 1979, yet Obama's earliest employment reportedly was in 1975 at an ice cream shop in Hawaii. E-Verify reports suspected fraud.
The law enforcement professionals doing the actual investigation are real pros, this is what they do. The team devastated the legitimacy of Obama's purported birth certificate from Hawaii. The investigation by document forensic experts systematically showed how the document could not be real and is part of a criminal conspiracy to commit fraud. Forensic document analysis proved the selective service records for Obama is also a forgery. This type of postal fraud is a federal felony.
Then we have the problem that many military do not believe he is legally the president. They do not want to follow unlawful orders (yes, US presidents have given "unlawful orders" in the past and it was the military who followed those unlawful orders who paid the price for it) because THEY face paying a very high price for doing so (The presidents usually do not even gt a slap on the hand, the soldiers pay the price for them). Some today are already paying that price. This is a problem that needs to be finally and TRUTHFULLY taken care of.
"Poll after poll in recent months has indicated that Americans have a high level of concern over Barack Obama's eligibility to be president; with one poll showing fully half of the nation wants Congress to investigate the question." But to date, nothing has been done.
Judge Royce C. Lamberth, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, ruled that privacy restrictions prevented the Social Security Administration from releasing the requested files, despite the fact Obama is a public figure.
"Actually law enforcement has proven that he (Obama) has forged documents."
Really? And yet, you provide no proof. No links, no documentation, just your statement.
FYI, just using bold print does not lend weight to your argument.
Did you ask bush for his working papers?
My guess is no because he was white.
Why do every black man has to prove he belongs in this country?
If I recall history you brought me here.
Solutions... Had nothing to do with his being white my friend. Had to do with the fact that regardless of what people say he did SERVE his country in the military, FACT 1. FACT 2, he was governor of Texas and had been vetted properly. It was OBVIOUS he was an American citizen.
FACT 3. Obama went to school in Indonesia at a time when ONLY Indonesian citizens had the right to an education there. FACT 4. It has been reported and confirmed that he traveled to a restricted country on a non American passport... Namely Kenya which was a country the U.S. had restricted for travel.
The only conclusion one can draw from those facts is that while Obama may have been born to a citizen of this country and lawfully able to claim citizenship, there are questions of WHERE he was born (legitimate questions based on findings of forensics of his birth certificate) and IF he gave up his American citizenship so he could study in Indonesia. IF he did in fact go to school in Indonesia and IF he did give up his citizenship to do so... THEN he is not eligable to be president ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AND ITS AMENDMENTS.
"FACT 2, he was governor of Texas and had been vetted properly. It was OBVIOUS he was an American citizen."
So being a governor means you are properly vetted, but being a senator does not? Really???
"FACT 3. Obama went to school in Indonesia at a time when ONLY Indonesian citizens had the right to an education there. FACT 4. It has been reported and confirmed that he traveled to a restricted country on a non American passport... Namely Kenya which was a country the U.S. had restricted for travel."
Um, false and false. And you are mixing your right-wing internet rumors there. See here: http://articles.cnn.com/2007-01-22/politics/obama.madrassa_1_islamic-school-madrassa-muslim-school?_s=PM:POLITICS and here: http://www.factcheck.org/2009/06/more-birther-nonsense-obamas-1981-pakistan-trip/
I have to laugh everytime you loons talk about experience and qualifications to become President.
Obamma has held the office for three years and is still not qualified to be there and you talk about the Republicans like they have nothing. They can come up with a budget. They can come up with a way to stop the bleeding of this country dry and they will not bow to every piss ant who wears a robe. They all want to kill Odummy care and put the country on the road to recovery and not the goat path we currently are on.
I laugh every time you post. Lets face it.."odummy"? what are you, 12 years old? :)
rukidding, The GOP came up with a budget that had zero $ amounts in it, and bragged about how good it was. Well, without the $ amount in that so called piece of junk, what exactly were they bragging about? Was it because the just convinced some more rubes they were doing their jobs?
Obama may have bowed to a King, but he didn't hold hands with him like he was gay. The former president did that, not Obama. Open your eyes, the healh care was based on Mittcare, when Mitt was a pee poor governor in some Yankee state.
STOP THE BLEEDING--
At least President Obama is trying to help people.
All the GNOP want to do is hurt the poor, eldery and sick.
Now that's a wining plan to make this country great again - get rid of the poor people.
Do you really think someone who don't want the rich to pay a dime more is going to help you out?
And I know you are not rich. Stupid drone

Thanks Charlie. Excellent points for all to consider but I'm afraid stats are not understood by the GOP electorate. Logic befuddles them as they can't understand why they're better off now than when GWB was taking them down.
The GOP candidates would have let the banks fail, the auto industry fail, the housing market completely collapse, and we should go to war with Iran, etc., etc., etc.
Remember in November and vote the GOP out!
hussein? lol. Anyone who uses that might as well hang a sign around his neck saying "I'm a mindless partisan hack". thanks for the entertainment!
What is your middle name Alan? Are you sure it's not . . . ADOLPH????????
Oh, the humanity!
@ Charlie - Hope this helps you to understand the manipulations behind the data. This is particularly revealing: End of year benchmark revisions quietly take the nonexistent jobs out of the totals, but these revisions do not receive headlines and pass largely unnoticed.
US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in the first month of this new year 243,000 jobs were created and the unemployment rate (U.3) fell to 8.3 percent. This good news is a mirage. It is due to faulty seasonal adjustments and to the BLS birth/death model. In a prolonged downturn, seasonal adjustments and the birth/death model produce nonexistent employment.
The unadjusted data show a rise in the unemployment rate. The birth/death model, which estimates the net effect of jobs lost from business failures and jobs created by new start-ups was designed for a normal growing economy, not for a prolonged downturn four years old. Statistician John Williams (shadowstats.com) reports that the BLS adds 48,000 new jobs per month to the payroll employment report based on the birth/death model even though the economy has not come out of the deep recession. In other words, over the course of a year, the birth/death model adds about 580,000 jobs to the reported jobs numbers. End of year benchmark revisions quietly take the nonexistent jobs out of the totals, but these revisions do not receive headlines and pass largely unnoticed.
The reported January jobs gains are contradicted by other official reports. For example, the January payroll jobs report shows 50,000 new jobs in manufacturing, but according to the recently released 4th quarter GDP, 81% of the reported growth consisted of undesired inventory accumulation. Normally, companies produce for sales not for inventories. Why would manufacturers be hiring people to produce goods for undesired inventories?
Most of the new reported January jobs are in services. The January jobs report has 24,500 new jobs in wholesale and retail trade and 13,100 in transportation and warehousing. However the data shows that inflation-corrected real retail sales are down. Why does it take more people to sell fewer goods?
The other remaining sizable components of the January jobs number are: professional and technical services (30,000), administrative and waste services (36,700), health care and social assistance (29,700), and leisure and hospitality (44,000) of which the largest component is food services and drinking places (32,800).
The leisure, waitresses and bartender employment numbers seem high for January. Perhaps it was an excellent ski month in the US. However, accommodation (hotels) does not support this conclusion as accommodation lost 3,900 jobs.
The BLS reports 21,000 new jobs in construction. However, the housing report says that housing starts dropped more than forecast in December, falling 4.1 percent. Why does it take more construction workers to produce fewer houses? Building permits, a proxy for future construction, were little changed.
As the adjusted data produce phantom jobs and employment, the BLS should headline the raw unadjusted data. With so many discouraged workers unable to find jobs, dropping discouraged workers out of the measure of unemployment seriously understates the true magnitude of the unemployment problem. If Americans were aware of the double-digit unemployment rate, would they be as tolerant of Washington's multi-trillion dollar wars? Would Obama be facing a tougher re-election campaign? Would Republicans be pushing to reduce the federal budget deficit at the expense of the social safety net?
The phony data serve many interests, but not those of the American people.

"his good news is a mirage. It is due to faulty seasonal adjustments and to the BLS birth/death model. "
BS. The fact is teatards like you HATE good news almost as much as you hate this president. You will twist, distort, spin and outright lie about anything from birth certificates to religious liberties to economic statistics in a lame attempt to justify your hate.
The GOP have, in my opinion, completely lost any credibility. When GWB was in office, Fox News was FREQUENTLY coming to his defense regarding to high gas prices. Now that it's President Obama in office, they have "flip flopped" their views. It's all Obama's fault now. They like to complain about the "freeloaders" that don't pay their medical bills, thus driving up rates for those of us that pay claiming that they should be responsible and pay for it themselves. What do they think the individual mandate does??? Makes everyone responsible for something that they are using the second they are born! Our rates are so high because those that pay are paying for those that don't. This should make the GOP dance in the streets!!!! Personal accountability...I thought it was their mantra??? Guess not if it makes President Obama look good.
Bunny... gas prices when GWB left office $1.78 on average per gallon... Gas prices are over $3.70 a gallon NOW! Reality is a bitch, fact is Obama himself said and I quote, "under my policies, energy prices will necassarily skyrocket..." Obama keeping his word on at least ONE promise.
Matthew...do you not remember paying over $4/gallon in 2008???? Who was President in 2008??? Hmmm...I think it was GEORGE W. BUSH! I certainly remember paying it. Right after 9/11, gas prices SOARED, but I won't hold that against him. I bet most Republicans have conveniently forgotten how high gas prices were under GWB and now only cling to what they were when he left office. Well, if that is how it's going to be, then you should all BACK OFF the gas prices under Obama until AFTER his term(s) is up. It apparently only matters what the prices where the week they leave office. Another thing...HISTORICALLY gas prices have always gone up in the spring. You all act like this is a new phenomenon that has only happened to President Obama. Reality isn't such a bitch when you have the FACTS on your side.
"gas prices when GWB left office $1.78 on average per gallon... Gas prices are over $3.70 a gallon NOW!"
As they were over $4.00 per gallon in summer of 2008. See here: http://gasbuddy.com/gb_retail_price_chart.aspx
" Reality is a bitch,"
You said it.
" What's happened to journalism?"
It became the face of Geraldo and all the other hacks who have taken over the world of news reporting.
Danny Pearl was a journalist. Tom Brokaw is a journalist. The rest of the media are talking heads.
Mitt Romney will NEVER be able to beat Obama. Just having "business experience" is about as relevant to being POTUS as a used car salesman is to being a CEO!
If Romney was on the Board of Directors in a major company, would HE vote to hire a CEO who never ran a major company? Then why would the American people hire a guy without the right national experience? (Who likes to fire people, thinks $375,000 is "not very much," doesn't care about poor people...wants them trapped in a "safety" net, etc.).
If Republicans elect Romney - they lose. Period.
Santorum says the right stuff - but if we're HONEST - his BEST accomplishments came under the LEADERSHIP of Newt Gingrich (1995-2000). What did he ever do after Newt left?
Politics MAY be a "team sport," folks, but we ALREADY have a President who "leads from behind." I like him (Santorum) alot, but he's just too weak right now to be President. (Hmmm... I recall making the same comment about this time in 2008. How'd that turn out for us?)
Newt Gingrich is the ONLY real option. We need to rally and not let the media declare him dead!
Everyone feels like politicians just say whatever to get elected - but never follow through. In 1994, Gingrich moved the entire country, brought the Republicans the majority after 40 years of Dem's in power - but then what? Did he just abandon his principles and do nothing? NO! He said he'd get a vote on all 10 major items of his Contract with America in 100 days.
And he did exactly that in ~93!
Newt Gingrich accomplished more in 93 days as speaker than Obama has in 4 years, than Santorum did in the 7 years after Newt left, and more than Mitt Romney has in a lifetime.
Don't let the media make you ashamed to want Newt 2012!
Newt is the only one who would make me ashamed to want him in 2012 or anyother year. He has a short fuse and a less than ethical past.
"Mitt Romney will NEVER be able to beat Obama. Just having "business experience" is about as relevant to being POTUS as a used car salesman is to being a CEO!"
Over the last 80 years we've had two "business men" in the white House -- Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush. What kind of shape was the economy in when those two left office??
The failed leadership of Willard Mitt Romney while governor of Massachusetts is stunning. His state ranked 47th out of 50 in job creation, 4 straight years of manufacturing sector job losses, what few jobs that were created, public sector outpaced private sector 6 to 1 and the state's debt increased 16.5%. With a failed leadership record like that, it is no wonder that Willard won't talk about his record as governor.
The only thing that kept the unemployment rate down was that people left the state in droves to seek employment in one of the 46 states that were doing better, thus decreasing the size of the workforce.
Yesterday Santorum praised Scott Walker for what he did for Wisconsin.
Let's see, Wisconsin dead last in job creation, more tax breaks for the 1%, property taxes go up, more referendum requests for taxpayer dollars to fund education, schools, vouchers, etc, and oh yeah - Walker's short on balancing the budget but will use federal funds, taking them away from homeowners in trouble with their mortgages.
Sounds about right for the GOP.
I can't believe the devotions of the anointed ones followers. They will follow him over a cliff....well, there is a thought! Why is it so important to bash Romney over his money....he got it the old fashion way folks...he earned it. That I can respect. Obama? well, he has no money...and therefore that is why you see him try to spread the wealth around....TRY is the optimal word.
The fact that Romney has credibly had a job, knows how to go in and dismantle a company and make it better...I would think that he can do that in Washington. You Dem's won't complain if taxes go lower, or if government gets smaller, or you actually retain your god given right to be left alone from government oppression. Here is a President who has done nothing and is about to loose his crown jewel "Odummy Care". What else has he done? Nothing of significance. His eleventh hour efforts are a complete joke. He has tried more things in the past few months than he has in 3+ years. Why? Because he knows something we all know. He will loose the election.
Match Obama and Romney side by side in accomplishments (personally and professionally) and the overwhelming resume goes to Romney. And the only thing Dems can come up with is that he is a stiff kinda guy or he can spend money...humm, is that the best you can do?....sounds like a futile attempt to cloud reality.
"I can't believe the devotions of the anointed ones followers."
Ya know dn8528 -- I can't believe it either. It boggles my mind to understand why every one of these Republican candidates think they have to kiss Rush Limbaugh's gigantic ass.
People listen to Limbaugh because they wait to see what way out thing he puts out there....I don't because of just that....I don't consider him a leader or a large voice in the GOP arena...and I think others there don't either.
but the anointed one comment was directed to Obama...if I wasn't clear there.
I don't consider him a leader or a large voice in the GOP arena..
You may not consider the leader of the GOP but every one of the current crop GPO of candidates do. Whenever they cross the great radio junkie they have to go beg for forgiveness. Remember when Newt called the Ryan plan "right wing social engineering"? Not more than 3 days went by before he had to go kiss the junkie's behind for failing to show proper respect to the anointed leader of the GOP. When the great junkie called the Georgetown coed a slut Romney had to dance around that one so carefully it was hysterical to watch . Michael Steele had more Republicans elected nationwide during his term as RNC Chairman than any chairman of either party in history. Yet he was fired because he failed to kiss up to the radio junkie. Like it or not -- admit it or not -- Rush the junkie is the real leader of the GOP.
BYW dm8528 --- Preaident Obama wasn't anointed (or selected by the Supreme court like Bush) he was elected by a rather large margin.
dm...are you serious??? President Obama has no money??? You do realize that he is a millionaire, don't you??? He doesn't have the crazy, silly money that Romney has, but still. I would like to applaud you for not sinking low enough to call President Obama names...oh wait, you did. "Odummy Care" Really??? How immature of you...
Since the Wisconsin vote means more for the Republican candidate that it usually does, the Romney vs. Santorum race should help Walker. Didn't Walker's uncle (Governor Walker of Illinois) go to jail in the 1970's? When they counted Wisconsin's evangelicals below 50%, they did not include love and worship of beer. Speaking of an earlier comment about plastic Romney, did you notice the plastic watch on his hand in the photo. For a guy who has car elevators in his home, that plastic watch is really playing to Joe the Plumber.
Why is it that a discussion like this brings out the complete kooks? We have a mention of Obama and Kenya, evangelical Christians muttering about the rapture, Tea Party folks muttering about losing their tea. It is a comedy and brings to light just how many in the US are in fact delusional in their thinking.
you shouldnt talk about the gop members that way
People calm down. No worries! Only thing I would worry about is if one of those crash dummies slip in office. I normally go the Republican way. I think Obama has done a good job and is worthy to be re-elected. I see no qualification on the Republican side. Sorry guys you need to just let history run its course and stand down and give Obama credit.
Time to crawl back into your swamp Ricky.
Who cares ! Romney can win every state it is only a formality Obama is going to win the election by a landslide without a doubt. The republican party is a done deal, the media made sure all the blame for the economy and job loss as well as hold out on social security payments were because of the republicans even though the fingers were pointed at Obama , and that was because he is black and being used as a scape goat by the republican house. so if you really want things to get better vote Obama in 2012 and join the winning side.
I hate to burst the bubble of anyone believing this MSNBC garbage, but, if you look at the internals of the poll showing Obama with a double digit lead over Romney, you will see that Democrats are heavily oversampled. Sorry folks, Democrats do not make up over half the country's population - especially the LIKELY VOTER population.
".. you will see that Democrats are heavily oversampled."
Do you have proof of this?
did you expect otherwise from a marxist poll?
from rasmussen, who leans right: "A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters in the Badger State finds Obama earning 52% support to Romney’s 41%"
guess that msnbc garbage was pretty good garbage :)
" if you look at the internals of the poll showing Obama with a double digit lead over Romney, you will see that Democrats are heavily oversampled. Sorry folks, Democrats do not make up over half the country's population - especially the LIKELY VOTER population."
False. You obviously did not look at the demographics of the poll. 31% of the poll participants reported themselves to be registered voters and Democrats, 26% reported themselves to be registered voters and Republicans, and 43% reported themselves to be registered voters and Independents. How is that "heavily oversampled" with regard to Democrats? Did you think no one would check? Found here: http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Sections/A_Politics/NBCNews-MaristPollWisconsinAnnotatedQuestionnaire_March%202012.pdf
did you expect otherwise from a marxist poll?
Marxist poll? You mean if like Harpo was posing political questions to people in Warsaw?
Looks like Rep Ryan is sucking up to Romney for the #2 spot on the ticket. This is the same Rep Ryan who took government assistance to pay all of his college education when he took social security after his old man died of a heart attack at an early age. This was better than a college loan as he didn't have to pay it back and he didn't even have to earn it. At the same time he's attacking seniors by trying to privatize medicare. What a hypocrite. Rep Ryan, give all that unearned government tax money back!
Romney can barely RUN a comb through his hair much less RUN the country with all that dippity doo set and go gel in his hair.
What you said! I mean these guys have no motive and can not convince me that they can run the country with success. Those guys just want to undo what was being fixed. I know Obama is going to win big time and I am glad. Its not because he is a black man it is because he is best for the job and he has proven he is for the people. Most important he makes jobs not wars. Real Talk!
Ricky, you and Newt need to keep running, don't stop. We need the road show of clowns to continue the comedy hours. So much fun to watch and listen to clowns than the regular TV comedy programs. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This is hillarious! The ones that lean right have some special tea they have been drinking. Judging by some on these boards, the tea must really be special? My guess, it has dumb juice in it? Anything the talking heads say to them, they believe absolutely! It must be wonderful to be so dumb? How anyone could believe what any one of these candidates say? The only way, drink the tea! If Rushkie tells them the sky is falling, they run out to play in it. This is so funny! Conservatives actually believe they have a chance in hell, for the Presidency? Oh, another good one! The R.W.N.J.'s actually believe they have a chance in hell of maintaining control of the congress, or the house, or the senate? L.M.A.O.!!! The only party that is going to control anything for the next four years, is the Democrats! And that, is thanks to the party of no! So, on behalf of Democrats accross the country, THANK YOU GOTP!! You have laid this country in their laps! OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
LOL I first thought the title said "Romney leads Santorum in bagger state" and I thought "Wow, they're not even trying to be objective about it anymore."
What I can't understand is why the Teapartier and the Republicans don't understand that their lies are going to get them no where. Granted President Obama has done some things I don't like either, but to have the Republicans constantly insult the intelligence of the American People is truly amazing. Birthers, school transcripts, Being a Muslim, we will everything to make him fail, voting no even for their own ideas, their war against women's rights and all the other crazy crap they have invented is just mind boggling. For most educated people it is real easy to research the facts and get to the truth.
Yet the right wingers believe if they repeat these lie often people will start to believe them. Guess what right wingers the only thing people are believing and it will come true is that President Obama will get reelected and the GOP will suffer a major defeat in Congress come November

"Birthers, school transcripts, Being a Muslim, we will everything to make him fail, voting no even for their own ideas, their war against women's rights and all the other crazy crap they have invented is just mind boggling."
When you have NO ideas, NO solutions, and NO answers, NOTHING positive to offer – you talk about such import things like, birth certificates, Teleprompters, college transcripts, czars, rounds of golf, worthless garbage like that. Then you throw in even more garbage with words and phrases like “socialist” and “Marxist” and “he’s not one of us” – all that kind of crap. But the bottom line is more and more Americans are realizing that the right has NOTHING to offer and that’s why President Obama will be reelected in November.
