Wisconsin: Obama +7.8??
Doesn't this smell fishy to anybody?? Isn't this the state that couldn't recall Walker??
North Carolina: Obama +1.0?? Isn't this the heart of the bible belt?? Didn't Obama upset these folks with his endorsement of gay marriage??
Why not compare the Rasmussian polls to the NYT/CBS polls??
Fishy? No. It sounds like like America, including Wisconsin, is turning away from the GOP's failed political ideology. As well it should.
Jo Anne Weathers...typical post, but you come across as the uneducated, ignorant idiot..which I think is probably pretty close to who and what you really are. Thanks for posting.
This anti-colonism crap is the new way of saying "Beware!, Euro-American dominance is threaten worldwide".
For all the posters for Obama > 4 more years of what? Why hasn't someone brought up the Obama was broke (BROKE) after his entry race against Bobby Rush (former Black Panther)..but now is 'worth' $10,000,000 > where did all that come from 'in such a short time'..uh? Blame everybody else...cut'em up....but, Obama is RICH and Biden is RICH and Clinton is RICH and Pelosi is RICH and so on and so on...yet, Obama has divided the nation with Rich vs Poor > if he wins, we will all be much POORER...especially those who vote for Obama/Biden ....
Do your own research. Check out book sales.
News Flash Romney has insurmountable lead in the poll that is shoved deep up his bung hole ,he is ahead by 10 ft.
To Joseph E. Parent ,that means you must look like what president Obama leaves on the Charmin Go Romney nice campaign Water -Head
The ad lib window engineer is through' the only recourse now is to steal the absent tee ballot boxes and dispose of them.
Hey everybody whose viewpoint is different than yours isn't a "liberal". I am an indepedent and Texas has a basic prison state check out how much time is given out there compared to the national averages for the same crimes. Since you are so well off in Texas whats up with your unemployment and thats one mans fault huh. The corperations hire and outsorce their jobs and while I'm at it gas prices are up because of the middleman not the middle east, where only 20% comes from. Your Congress is the problem, they didn't pass the veterans bill or the jobs bill so whose fault is that the Tea Party, mBingo gridlock central, its our way o rbust. Vote these uncooperative buzzards out and progress can resume.
The truth about everyone is that we own different strategies to actualizing a particular plan. Obama wouldn't have ignored the gay population to decrease his winning votes. He acknowledged them and granted them the time and authority which can't be retrieved now he has finally become the president of United States of America, it will be a public betrayal. This issue has been deliberated on at University of Nigeria law site and it was said to be a promise and fulfilment by both American subjects and power.
