Obama and Romney are tied in the latest AP-GFK poll, with Obama slightly ahead at 47-46%. The AP’s take: “For all the attention it got, Republican Mitt Romney's selection of Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate has not altered the race against President Barack Obama. The campaign remains neck and neck with less than three months to go, a new AP-GfK poll shows.” And: “At the same time, there's a far wider gap when people were asked who they thought would win. Some 58 percent of adults said they expected Obama to be re-elected, while just 32 percent said they thought he'd be voted out of office.”
“Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who is out-fundraising President Barack Obama by impressive margins, is attracting thousands of donors this summer from traditionally Democratic areas of the United States, collecting millions of dollars in even progressive communities from New York to Los Angeles, according to an analysis by The Associated Press of new campaign data. Donors from tony neighborhoods of Manhattan to even the famously liberal Castro neighborhood in San Francisco helped Romney and the GOP outraise Obama by more than $25 million in July, beating him and the Democratic Party in contributions for a third consecutive month, the AP analysis showed.”
Obama may get NBA players, but Romney’s got the owners.


Obama may get NBA players, but Romney’s got the owners.
Wouldn't it be great if this were the election where voters proved the wealthiest 1% don't own the heart and soul of this country?
lets face it: Mitt looks like the villian in all those 80's movie named Chad, Chaz, or whatever. The blonde rich kid that everyone hated, usually played by William Zabka, but James Spader did a good job. The fake laugh, the faux indignation, and the disdain for "common" people are obvious.
Here's a tip, Mitt: Either start acting like the good guy or we all know how this movie is going to end.
Roll credits...
Don't forget the bullying of the "different" kid in school.
"May I say you're looking lovely today Mrs. Cleaver."
Another hackjob by MSNBC or whatever they call themselves...the truth is Obama also received money from owners.
"Obama has received campaign checks from two owners: Ted Leonsis of the Washington Wizards and Johnny Bush of the Los Angeles Lakers."
jfk Obama has received campaign checks from two owners.....
Yes, so what. Should he have turned it down?
Nah, Obama takes the money and calls them evil. Anyone who donates to Obama is either an idiot or else they figure there's gonna be some great payback, look at Corzine.
Amy the owners already got this rigged. Obama Romney it doesnt matter. We are in the final stages. How much more proof do you need. One party under NWO. Obama was groomed by Kissinger one of the leading advocates openly speaking about the NWO since his days with Nixon. The owners have both parties & other parties do not stand a chance. Maybe that was until now. The total brash disregard of the people at the RNC as they read the results of the delegate vote off the teleprompter mightve raised more then a few eyebrows in both parties. Many staunch wingers now have even switched to believe in our message. Its for the people by the people. Really quite simple. Reclaim our country as well as our constitution.Libertarians have never had as much passion power in where it belongs We the people shall not fail. Romney Obama & the like will be vanquished possibly even tried for their complicity selling us out! RNC made the biggest mistake ever by their last blunder adding injury to insult they definetly can not win. Ron Paul or Gary Johnson will easily beat Obama we are ready for whoever the owners put out on as the new puppet!
No matter how much money they spend, you can't make a silk purse from a sows ear.
If Romney is elected, corporations will be enabled to vote as well as contribute without limits.
Wow! That's quite the quote! Reading about the influence of the Koch Brothers, the oil executives funding climate change deniers and other right wing nuttery, made me wonder: is this how fascism in America begins?
It already began with obuma.
Romney is determined to buy the election, just like he bought the nomination.
True. Money is very important, but there's only so much it can buy you. Remember Meg Whitman...
How much more money did Obama spend in 2008 than John McCain? So I guess we can truthfully say that Obama bought the 2008 election.
Obama won't be able to buy this election, the people have seen what he has accomplished so far, and will vote for a change. It is really a shame that an incumbent President can't even get above 50% in job performance or in voter preference. Obama's campaign spent around 59 million in August and never even got a bump in the polls. BTW, he only took in 49.2 million in August, far below what he spent.
Uhm, no. Obama wins in a landslide. The GOP is a return to the abyss, and we all remember what they did at time they were in power.
Obama in a landside, I'll tell you what kind of landside lol Democrats are so lost trying to answer to what Obama has done at breakneck speed trampling on our constitution like it was trash. Its went from worse to worser. We the people who are not misled by manipulated mainstream media mayhem like the rest of you wing nuts. Get it in your dense dillusional heads Repubocrats this system is totally rigged and what little they differ on when its all said & done the owners ill continue their rape robbing & pillaging of everything we have. UNLESS AS WHAT HAS NOW HAPPENED SOME OF YOU WAKEUP AND JOIN THE REVOLUTION!
DRPaulorUSAFALLS... Simple question for you. Just what part of the Constitution has this Administration trampled and/or changed? Even just one letter or punctuation mark that's been changed will do (Theme Song from "Jeopardy" starts now). That's what I thought. Spread that to your rightwing nutjob buddies. Now, go on, take your meds and go to bed. Obama/Biden 2012!
People don't not want or trust the republicans ! Its that simple !
And people want and trust the democrats. The party of corzine, and pelosi. Yeah right.
Willard/Paul's lies will be their down fall. Nobody likes a liar, their just tolerated.
by Michael Chester
Lol Obama & Romney's changed up like I change my dirty soiled Chinese made underwear daily. Our great country is soiled by both parties.And just like my boys hanging need a breath of fresh air so do the people who need to rid this country permanetly like the difference between democrat republican or syphlis or gonorea you can have both I don't want any part of the disease. They are both diseased lol
This is the bad news people, or the funny news if you see it as such. For the past 4 years the mainstream media (NBC, CBC, ABC, and yes, even FOX) at times have knelt down and felated the "commander in chief" they've ignored all the scandals (fast and furious, Valerie Jarret, and now Iran cash) and led us, the American public to believe that Obama is our savior and he will lead us to where the US needs to be. Now comes the funny or sad part.....On November 7th, I believe with all my heart, that we will wake up with a new President. And all the MSMs hard work will fall to the ground. The public will be left wondering how we could have been duped. Believe what you want to believe about what they tell you to believe or you can go researching yourself, but you'll be sorely disappointed otherwise. And I want to see the look on Maddow and Matthew's faces when they have to announce President Romney. I also want to see the seething in Our P(os)tus' face when he has to concede the election.
Romney/Ryan 2012
Amen to that. We are all praying that this is so otherwise our country which is on a downward spiral now will be lost. I too can't wait to see obamas face and his dear wife michelle when they have to leave the good life and go to work for the first time in their lives.
Hell I was looking for the poll on legalizing weed !
Well I vote HELL YES ITS PAST DUE !
ILUVCNN--
Uh, no. No matter what the result on 11/7, Mr. Obama will still be president.
You can only dream but the party of food stampers is on its way out the door to make room for the working class.
How about instead - Hilary Clinton as President, Michele Obama as VP and Ann Romney as Secretary of State. I know that will never happen in the history of the US. Why? Becaise the US is one of the most sexist, racist people in the world. The Women's movement made strides, but we are back in the 50's again. And, quite frankly, we are feminists are worn out with the way things went in the good old USA.
Geez I guess maybe life in Iran, Iraq or Afghanistan might be more suitable and better then living in the US which is one of the most sexist, racist people in the world. OMG give me a break. Wah wah wah.
That's your defense of anti women peanut throwing racism from the republicans is it's not as bad as the Taliban? That'll sell well.
The good ol' boy's club, regardless of skin color.
Have you ever thought....Who cares where OBAMA was born, start caring about where he will live after November 6th. I don't want him in Washington D.C. and I don't want him as my neighbor. Mr. Obama, you could not fix our country, so now it is time for you to go back home and fix IL - after all, your friend needs help because apparentely he can't fix it either after he failed under you as well. Although I guess he was smart, he left you before you will leave later this year. Good bye you failure. Thanks for nothing.
Good bye to all those lying, theiving, socialists that are part of the obama entourage. Corzine, holder, michelle, pelosi, franks, reid and all the rest of them. (Of course corzine is already gone but not forgotten. I hope when Romney gets in he goes after him for the billions of dollars that disappeared from investors) Why is he not in jail?
Its not about race gender or beliefs its about the total destruction of our land life 7 liberty. The owners are now in the last stages but they made a boo boo and just like Yogi Bear us Libeterians are not your average bears. We actually think and form our own opinions. Not whatever the owners have scripted for you the dumbed down conditioned USA population. THINK FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFES START BY TURNING OFF THE TV & TURNING ON YOUR MINDS> ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!
This is very good news for Romney. Usually the incumbent enjoys a pretty strong margin. Obama's failure to bring real solutions in the past 4 years will be his undoing.
I believe Obama will win handily not because he's been a great president but because he's the lesser of two evils. How anyone can look at Romneys proposals and vote for him is beyond me. A 5 trillion dollar tax cut when we have a 15 trillion dollar deficit??? Though republicans refuse to name the "loopholes" they'll eliminate to make up this difference.
I read a Ryan article where he suggested eliminating the home mortgage interest deduction and taxing employer health plans might be the way to go. Both of these mostly benefit the middle class. Why would you vote for someone with a tax plan that would give almost all of the breaks to the wealthiest and substantially raise them on you? Romney claims he'll cut social program spending 120 billion a year but raise military funding 260 billion a year, hardly a plan to lower our deficit. I hear republicans bash Obama on here but never see any say why they support Romney other than he's not Obama. True, but did you ever consider he might be worse?
The take away form this article can be summed up by saying that Romney has the money and President Obama has the majority vote of the American people and the majority votes in the electoral college. In other words Romney and Republicans will outraise him when it comes to the money game yet President Obama wins the election. Why is that you ask? Because poll after poll over the last 4 years have shown that the majority of Americans do not blame the President for near depression. In fact the MAJORITY blame Bush and the republicans. Yet Romney and republicans are pushing the tired argument that the economy is bad and it s the President's fault. The republican premise about the economy is not resonating because the American voter is way more educated than the republicans give them credit for. And to top it off the republicans ARE NOT offering and or proposing any common sense solutions for working together to solve the problems americans are facing in this the 21st century of our country. As the just about everything that are coming from repubicans mouthes are proving to be untruths on most every level. How can a campaign's centerpiece of whatever it is be built on falsehoods. Americans are not going to elect a candidate based on that candidate not leveling with them. On the other hand President Obama are traveling the countryside touted there achievements because they are proud of them. No one can take away the Democrats accomplishments of the last 4 years.
As long as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, we will go further and further to the left. If it goes on too long do not be surprised if we do go socialist. If the wealthy like this system it's is in their own best interest to raise wages and or lower the price of their product, if they don't the poor will be a larger and larger portion of our population and their votes will be too many for the rich to buy.
And how is Obama creating a socialist country? Obama care was modeled on Romney care and I never heard the socialist label put to it. 40% of Americans health care is already funded by the government through medicare, medicaid and veterans. 40% already have insurance through their employer or purchased already for themselves. That leaves maybe 20% who'll be required to get insurance with many low income being subsidized. Requiring people to buy insurance who can afford to but don't is no more socialistic than being forced to buy auto insurance. Bill Clinton attempted to get a national health program initiated his first term even appointing Hillary to chair it. It failed yet no one was talking about socialism. I guess it's only socialistic if a black man proposes it.
Obama has no clue of how to run a business ...........Romney is a businessman and what greater business to run than this country ? Nobama has shown how he can't handle a lemonade stand let alone our economy ! Romney leading in the polls and gonna lead us outta this recession ! ROMNEY/RYAN 2012
Romney is no businessman just a leverage buyout snake, How hard is it to buy a company with borrowed money saddle it with debt it cannot pay and they them file BK. Bain gets all the money and the employees and creditors get screwed. That is not rocket science. The GOP took 8 years to get us in this mess and the Congress said from day one we will not support anything Obama and the Dems put forward. Why can't we look at the facts and not the spin?
Obama is good at selling menu. But when it comes to putting on the table he can put only soul food.
The French food that Miichell likes, I bet Romney can put on table better. Mitchell will like it.
The choice for American people is Menu peddler or Food peddler.
I don't care who President , as long as Republicans had Congress they voted no to make everything bad. Even though citizens voted them into office, they did what they wanted to do. By saying what they wanted to do I'm saying not caring for their own voters, but working against the President(just because he's black) trying to make him look bad but also sacrificing those citizens that voted them(Republicans) into office by not helping the Country. How dare you(Republican officials) point fingers when everytime it was time to help the people, YOU REPUBLICANS SAID NO,NO,NO,NO,NO. nOW YOU WANT MORE VOTES. fOR WHAT? WAKE UP PEOPLE. WAKE UP.
