Subscribe to RSSNBC's Domenico Montanaro discusses both President Obama's and Mitt Romney's claims to be ahead in the race for the president. The truth? Well, it's complicated. It means it's a close election and no one should be making any bold predictions. Plus, what does Colin Powell's endorsement mean? The Obama campaign is trying to tie Romney to Richard Mourdock (R-IN), and Obama on Leno and Rock Center, and new NBC/WSJ/Marist polls out tonight at 6:30 pm ET on the state of play out West in Colorado and Nevada.

If you want to hire a boss vote Romney
If you want to hire a President vote Obama
Really Dennis?
Other than a bald conclusion, care to elaborate any further?
O is the Pres. [for now] but at what cost?
Oh and Dennis - how about them Ohio polls?
Romney wants to get rid of safety nets and gut Education. He mocks wind power job creation.
This from the wealthiest, most secretive candidate on record.
Norquist and the 0.01%-ers would keep Romney busy at their beck and call, signing off on their corporate greed.
Grover Norquist announced from the podium "we only need a President with a working digit" to do the signing.
Any questions?
I think President Obama is winning. This doesn't mean HE'S GOING TO WIN.
But I believe looking at the battleground states, President Obama is leading in the EV.
And unless I'm mistaken, he has been for most of the campaign.
Wind Power?
So Backhouse - I don't suppose you can tell us the per kilowatt cost of a energy from wind power v from a good old coal powered plant?
And FYI Navy - you might not know this but O is the biggest loser when it comes to picking viable 'alternative energy' companies.
But by all means - you keep touting wind power, cause that's what the election is all about.
Most recent poll shows Obama up by 5 in Ohio. The Time Magazine poll released Wednesday showed Obama at 49% and Romney at 44% in the state, within the poll's three point sampling error. The number was derived from a survey of people who said they would vote November 6, and people who said they've already cast their ballot.
Cue the whining about how Time Magazine is in the bag for Obama.
How about you do a comparison of the per kilowatt cost of energy from a coal plant vs a natural gas plant? When you do the math, you will have your answer why coal is losing out.
What about those Ohio polls Spanky? Seems Joe Scarborough was kinda miffed at them this morning.
Still searching for an OBGYN in Cali are ya?
A quick search will reveal over 250 in SD alone.
How is you 50ish great-grandma with an 18 year old great-grandson today?
So many questions, so ...
In 10 polls in Ohio, including Rasmussen and Fox, conducted since 10/10 Romney leads in ZERO.
if you want a President vote Obama? didnt we do that 4 years ago and we got an empty suit? So by the definition of insanity you want to do the same expecting different results.
Elect me again and this time I promise I will 'focus'.
Al, balckcat - that was a fantastic poll - but we don't actually expect a D+9 turnout, now do we.
My secretary is great. The great grand son is loving the car. Of course what teenager wouldn't.
But do try to get some rates for OB-GYN insurance if you can. Then see how many of those left are taking new patients.
Dennis - just be patient, Mitt going up is coming. Very soon in fact.
Spanky-
and what cost should we expect to pay for Romney? What does Romney have to offer?
bottom of the barrel jobs growth in Mass even BEFORE the financial meltdown?
Higher local taxes for average joe's due to Romney's cuts for schools and towns? On average, a Mass resident "enjoyed" a 24% property tax increase due to Romney's policies.
Increased fees on everyday transactions such licensing and registrations?
Fewer manufacturing jobs as Mass experienced while Romney was the governor?
Second-largest labor force decline in the nation for Mass while Romney was the governor?
Below average economic growth in Mass while Romney was the governor?
Piling more debt than any other state while Romney was the governor?
Romney takes credit for balancing the state’s budget even though like any other Mass governor, he was constitutionally required to do so. He was basically taking credit for saying he is breathing.
Romney also takes credit for "fixing" the SLC Winter Olympics. He just forgets to tell you he did it with the help of the taxpayer.
And while righties are bitching and complaining about the economy not being good enough after less than 4 years, Romney's big, detail-free plan is asking for 8-10 years. How hypocritical, huh?
And the biggest issue is that Romney still cannot tell anyone how he is going to pay for continuing Bush tax cuts, adding Romney tax cuts, and increasing the defense budget by 2T. Maybe you could explain how.
Al - natural gas is fantastic.
What it ain't is an alternative fuel.
Frack on, my man, frack on.

Obama/Biden 2012
I know the feeling bayllie.
Mass., not unlike Cali. is controlled by dems.
So bayllie - Mitt been gone for a long time, what has you awesome state done to fix all those problems?
Here in Cali, ah, heck, you you how bad it has been under liberal rules.
Oh and hey, you are wasting you time tell me - you need to inform the general public. O is losing.
Backhouse
After hiring Bain consultants to help him work on the budget, Romney exercised his corporate takeover style and cut funding for higher education by $140 million. As a result, student fees at state colleges and universities shot up 63% during his tenure.
Everything this guy touches makes money...for the selected few.... while leaving the 98% paying for it down the road whether through higher taxes, higher fees, taxpayer bailouts, bankruptcies or lost pensions.
Reported yesterday:
America will soon be number #1 in the world, for Oil Production.
The United States is second in the world, for Wind Production.
Wind energy has created thousands of jobs.
Interestingly enough, for all the bloviations emerging from the right about Mitt's continuing momentum ever since the first debate, in Ohio, it was stopped by 10/15. They split polls from 10/5-10/15, but it looks like after the town hall, all of that came to an end. He's managed to draw even in a few of the right leaners like Gravis and Rasmussen since then, but that's been the best he's managed.
Michael,
Thanks for the info.
Spanky-
First of all we are discussing Romney's Massachusetts record so lets concentrate on that. I didn't realize that Romney was the governor of California as well...
BTW, Mass is controlled by Dems which still didn't stop Romney to issue 800 vetoes during 4 years. I think that's close to a record if not the record, wouldn't you agree?
why does it matter Spanky? Are you saying that Mitt sucked because it was TOO HARD?
I know, because while you are spewing your "Romney's better" propaganda you don't let Romney's sucky statistics get in your way.
I don't care about polls, never have - even when Obama was kicking Romney's ass. The only poll I care about is the one on November 6th. Why? Because there are plenty of you out their who belive in Romney's greatness even though his tenure was D- at best. And he failed at his job even before we had financial meltdown of 2008.
If Willard was such a great governor in MA, why is Obama spanking him there?
Whining about the poil right on cue.
Has anyone checked out the sampling of the Times Magazine Poll? Funny stuff...273 Democrats vs. 206 Republicans; and Obama is up by 5. You can't make this stuff up...
We got you and Spanky on record as whining about the polls. Find two more and you can form your own barbershop quartet!
Al in Visalia CA
they'll tell you it's only because it's a liberal state but this liberal state elected 4 out of 5 last governors that were Republican. They also elected Scott Brown.
What they will not tell you is that Romney had a 30 something job approval rating when he left and that is the reason why Obama is spanking Romney in Massachusetts.
I can sing bass. Now we have a trio.
Anyone else to make it a quartet?
President Obama is going to win in a landslide.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
American Girl,
Landslide? Tell that to Rasmussen who has Romney leading, 50%-47% or Gallup, which has the same lead for Romney. Get real. Obama is failure. His only hope is a midwestern firewall.
FINALLY - A GREAT LINK TO ROMNEY'S TAX PLAN - SHARE IT WITH ALL THE NAYSAYERS -
People have been begging for this, demanding it, and could not find it for months.
seejames
Hillarious "Emperors New Link" to Romney's ??detailed?? tax plan: " ................................... ".
I tried clicking it and it gave me the same amount of info I've gotten everywhere else - N O N E!
If Romney's tired of people like Obama interpreting his policies for him - then maybe Romney should have the balls to actually detail his plans himself!
It'd be political suicide for R & R!
That's what happens when you run with a party so far to the right and when you're so beholden to your elites that want to buy you the office so you can rubber stamp them greater wealth!
The Romney crash has already begun!!
Obama/Biden 2012
Oh yeah - Anyone else hear that Romney intends to convert Food Stamps into a "Voucher" program??!
Who's winning? It would seem which "poll" you view, and there are many, would subject a conclusion based upon the direct response the poll chooses to create.
Then there is the rolling poll, which is an average of all polls, ususally used by the media if favorable to their choise of candidate.
Then we have the media which can be unusually bias for a candidate, attempting to influence favorable press to him.
But the exact poll, at the end of the day will be how voters believe in the candidate they select as the next president.
Boo-hoo .. the media is biased, polls are skewed, the only workers in the country are the GOPTP, employers prefer to hire undocumented immigrants vs. GOPTP workers, victim this, victim that, everywhere the GOPTP are victims unless of course, it comes to rape, then there are no victims.
It would be funny, eh girl, if it simply weren't so pathetic. But carry one, eventually you'll find someone who likes you, and you can give up eating worms.
Eating worms?
So sad another libbie getting sucked into personal attacks.
So RedDev - perhaps you can explain why CNN?time chose a D+9 sample for Ohio.
Refresh my recollection in '08 Ohio was______?
in 2010, it was___?
Wait until after the Election and Romney wins by alot and these libbies will be full on crazy.
It will be fun.
RedDev,
You are too funny with those comments. Very original.
How about this from the Democratic playbook:
Patrick Moran, son of Rep. Jim Moran, D - VA was recently video'ed providing information on how to fraudulently cast ballots in the name of registered voters by forging utility bills and relying on assistance fom Democrat lawyers.
The son is a Field Manager for the Rep. Could this be happening elsewhere, and do we need a more secure form of identification to vote?
It will only be days before Moran likely files suit against the perpetrator of this cute little scandal by none other than the low-life scumbag scandal-whore O'Keefe? Apparently, O'Keefe thinks the Bretibart pockets are deep.
I trust Moran does file suit! And, let me make this perfectly clear, before the election. Yes, I do want to see what else may have been involved with his son.
Now how can you refer to O'Keef as scumbage, when the son had all the answers as to how to game the system on behalf of Dems?
I guess you are saying that the process outlined in the video is acceptable to you? Voter fraud is okay if it is favoravle to Progressives.
Really - this is the best thing you could come up with?
Gender gap?
White voter gap?
Not good.
They'll come up with good numbers for Obama tonight. It's what they do. . .
Marist has, on average, been wrong by four points for democrats. It was that level of inaccuracy that caused McClatchy to sever their relationship with them.
I'm really not surprised that NBC jumped for joy when they were available. If its good for Obama, they are all in.
And boy did I get a chuckle out of yesterday's CNN/Time poll for Ohio.
O up by 5, with a D+9 sample.
Even our math challenged libbie friends know what that means.
you have too much faith
So Parker, have you done the math on Spanky's 50ish (hell let's say she is 60) secreatary who is a great-grandmother to an 18 year old great-grandson? He does stand by the story. I know from experience that the soil is fertile in CA, but it is not that fertile.
Ooo...a riddle! I like riddles!
Let's see...President Obama +5 but Democrats sampled +9 (In your opinion, on purpose, right?)...subract the +9 to even things out and you now have Mr. Romney +4, right?
Ooo, did I get it right? Did I? Ooo, and is there a prize?
See, here's the problem with simplistic math like that...it's not that simple. There are too many variables. Now, yes, if it were as simple as getting the same exact number of Democrats and Republicans to vote in Ohio then, yes, one could rightly extrapolate that President Obama would lose Ohio by 4 points.
...but...
Are there, in fact, the same number of registered Republicans and Democrats in the state of Ohio?
...and...
Can you guarantee that the same number of registered Republicans and Democrats will vote in the state of Ohio?
Even our self-proclaimed omniscient friends on the Right know what that means...it means you haven't a clue how this turns out yet.
to what purpose? I mean im sure you analyze Amy's anecdotal evidence and scrutinize it right. Of course you do Ikarus. spanky is probably off on the 'great' part
Ah, Colin Powell...remember when Republicans loved the guy and thought he was a great leader and that he'd make an awesome President?
Powell is great.
Say, what was his position on going into Iraq Noid?
Endorsements are so very important though. O does has both Kim Kardasian and Honey Boo-boo.
spank: And Romney has Nugent...the guy who crapped his pants to avoid serving in the military.....he supports the other coward who ran to France.
Both cowards.
Speaking of cowards, where are those tax returns, Romney? Afraid they will reveal you are a fraud? We don't need a candidate so afraid of his past that he will hide it for all to see. Man up Romney, and show us what every other presidential candidate has shown us since your father established the practice.
taxes red dev.
What a looser loon.
They are locked away with Obama's college documents. Guess we just aren't going to see them.
Romney is the least vetted presidential candidate of either party in many many years with releasing only one full year of tax returns. And you are worried about President Obama's college records which no president has ever been asked for to prove some winger conspiracy theory?
Then the republicans want us to believe they are the smart party who doesn't even think it is important to vet their presidential candidate.
Good grief. Read any electoral college aggregator -- 538, RCP, Princeton, Electoral-Vote.com. Obama is winning.
Will First Read still be equivocating the day after the election?
The day after the election FR will be on to the fiscal cliff, followed closely by the 2016 race.
No one in the media wants to declare the race over because they want us all watching them. Same as how the weather forecasters always predict the worst---so people stay home to watch!
Steeler Fan -
Speaking of weather forecasters.....earlier this morning they were saying that Hurricane Sandy's impact on the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic could be the equivalent of "The Perfect Storm". Now I just saw someone refer to it as "The Perfect Storm on Steroids"! Plus, it could meet up with the ever-popular "Arctic Blast", in which case we'll be buried under 20 feet of snow! Some places could have power out till Election Day! Oh, no.....election hysteria meets weather hysteria - talk about a "Perfect Storm"!
I don't care if he even says he's bringing President Obama along, I am NOT going out on any boats next week with George Clooney!
In all seriousness, though.....I really hope it is just hysteria, but one way or another, it looks like a lot of people are going to get hit hard by this one. Be safe, everyone.
JoAnne in PA: It is hysteria; for the election, for the weather or for sports. It sells ads.
Obama/Biden 2012
Romney is winning with the short bus people.
Very classy.
NOBODY-
Has the no-mentum!
Has a lock on Ohio and Florida!
leaps over the margin of error to a clear and decisive lead!
Can rest easy on election day, because NOBODY;
Has this election in the bag!
NOBODY 2102
but SOMEBODY is going to win. what a comeback LOL
Ba-dum-bum...
And NOBODY will be happy, though that might take a few months...in the words of the immortal Johnny Cash;
When life seems full
Of clouds and rain
And I'm full
Of nothin' but pain
Who soothes my thumpin', bumpin' brain?
Nobody
When Wintertime comes
With its snow and sleet
And me with hunger
And cold feet
Who says "Here's two bits, go and eat"?
Nobody
Very hard to tell here in Virginia which way it will go. One day the paper says Obama the next day Romney.
FINALLY - A GREAT LINK TO ROMNEY'S TAX PLAN - SHARE IT WITH ALL THE NAYSAYERS -
People have been begging for this, demanding it, and could not find it for months.
THe media need to keep this close so people like us will continue to read and watch. As many others have posted here, the only poll that counts is 11/6.
Too many polls, too many opinions, so many liars out there, I'll put my money with the Vegas odd's makers. Those guys make a living, putting numbers together, they don't have agenda's they just want to win, an they pretty much depend on repeat wagers. Plus harry Reid is the senator, Nevada is leaning obama, but Romney is projected by a large margin.
Urban vs Suburban-Rural vote in Ohio. Urban voters with their housing projects and dependence on government vs independent Americans who have moved their families to the suburbs or the country for quality of life issues. This represents the battle nationwide in the microcosm of one state Ohio. The kicker in Ohio is the blind, militant union vote-Will they stick with Obama or vote for the future of American like when they switched to put Reagan in office in 1980? What the union voters do in Ohio could well determine the fate of America. It is a heavy burden and each union voter must decide what is more important "following the mandate of his/her union bosses or doing what is best for the future" and they will make that decision privately in the ballot box! Pray they do what is best for our Country!
may the best man win
Polls do not vote. People do! Do you want to see the GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief's" economic policy in action America? Go to Bainport.com America, and get the true facts. The GOP/RNC "Godfather Of Outsourcing" loves what China is doing with trade.
How much did you say it took to fill your car today?
Obama is running out of steam and so is his leftist based supporters. Meanwhile, knowing what is at stake....the Romney/Ryan force is unstoppable.
Knowing what is at stake is why we need President Obama to win this election. Romney & Ryan have made it clear who they get their orders from; the Koch brothers, Karl Rove, and Grover Norquist. These people need Romney & Ryan to win so they can further their own interests at the costs of the middle class American. Do not be fooled by the Romney that appeared at the debates, This man will say whatever he needs to say to be elected; but his actions are what voters need to look at. His success as a business man has been at the expense of the workers. His business plan is to take companies with assets and pensions and leverage them to the debt level; take the assets and pensions for himself and his cronies; then leave the "harvested" company in shambles and the workers without jobs. Ask the people of Sensata how great a business man Romney is and how he is a job creator for the American worker. Workers' rights, human rights, environmental rights, women rights will all be sacrificed for the almightly profit. To paraphrase Kennedy: "how much is enough?" How much money must be made at the sacrifice of the hard working people before these people are happy. Unlimited wants versus limited resources. Romney and his cronies have unsatiable profit motives but at the expense of those who actually worked to make those profits possible. The gap between salaries for top executives and the actual workers is at its greatest. How much do these people think they worth? What makes them better than the employees that do the day-to-day work? Romney and Ryan sold their souls to their masters as soon as they won the nominaton. They will eventuallay have to pay; unfortunately, it will actually be the American citizens that pay if, God forbid, they should win.
Obama/Biden
Yeah. 4 more years of misery and listening to him whine I'm trying but it's Bush's fault. Donna, what happens when the rich are as poor as you? Do we eat each other. Do we squat in some one else's house, do we sell our children as slaves to China? I'm sure you've heard the saying "I never got a job from a poor man. For me that's true. This class distinction that you libbies make is very disturbing You have no faith in yourselves. Its like you are too lazy to try to succeed. And eventually, when you give all the money from the producers to the non-producers what do wind up with?I'm sure you will come back with you pay taxes or something inane like that but I for one am tired of carrying the non-producers on my back.
Again the Mormon
candidate Wrongney’s beliefs are revealed. His religion says women have no
place in leadership or in the workplace.
Why would there be so many applications stashed into these binders and files in
his own company? It is because they
refused to hire women for many years.
Nit wit Mitt
Wrongney has been repeating the same lies saying he cares for the poor while on
camera. Off camera he says it is not his job to care for the poor. When the
cynical Wrongney was speaking his lies at the presidential debate, he said that
Obama did not say what the specifics were for who qualifies for refinancing
their home. We all should know including Nit Wit Mitt what it takes to qualify
for a mortgage loan. The agreement is worked out with the bank that is to
refinance the applicant. Wrongney is telling us that our deficit is increasing
because of Obama’s policies. When Obama
took office as president, the war was costing more than $20 billion a month.
One aircraft carrier uses one million gallons of fuel every five months. The
auto industry was set to lose nearly one million jobs. George Bush had a
bailout bill on the table as he was leaving office. Obama used that to save the
jobs of the nearly one million auto workers. They were and are paying it back.
If just one
oil and pharmaceutical company make between 20 and 40 billion dollars in
profits a year, they should pay more in taxes instead of getting a tax break.
There were so
many things that Nit Wit Mitt Wrongney proposed that Obama has been trying to
get the Republican run House of Reps to pass for nearly three years. In his
campaign speeches, he is saying the exact same things as Obama said when he
became president. Wrongney is stealing Obama’s material to use in his speeches.
Wrongney will lie and do anything because his money is his god. The Republicans
said they don’t want to work with Obama. The Republicans said they want him out
of office because he wants to help everyone in America. The republicans are mostly self-serving and
only want to fill their own pockets with tax payer dollars by steering the
money into their projects and special interests. Nit Wit Mitt Wrongney said
that the president’s policies failed but the Republicans never allowed anything
to get passed by voting NO on every single measure. Remember that everyone in
Washington was voted into their position there by American voters to do a job.
When the Republicans lied about the socialism that doesn’t exist, they were
voted in. Now the Republicans are causing major gridlock on every measure that
is put forth to make it appear that President Obama is a failure. The
Republicans were told in their campaign meetings to use fear to cause people to
distrust Obama. This was broadcast on the internet recently. Also the people
everywhere are cashing in on president Obama by using any kind of controversy
like the issues of Socialism, him being Islam, not an American born in America and
him being a communist. Everyone is making a windfall by projecting Obama as any
one of these.
President
Obama doesn’t speak to America as if he is speaking to ignorant and uninformed citizens.
Wrongney is talking to America as if they are completely uninformed and
ignorant about what the republicans have been doing to stop any kind of
progress in Washington. Wrongney has put forth his plan and it contains some of
the plans that Obama has already tried to get Washington to put through. Obama
has a job bill that would create some 45 million jobs over 10 years. But the
Republicans won’t vote yes to pass the bill. The republican governors say they
don’t want bailout and Federal funding while the cameras are rolling. But they
request and accept the money to the tune of more than 36 billion in the state
of Mississippi and Florida. Some things
Wrongney says he wants to do is something that is already in place at this
time. Wrongney still thinks everyone is completely stupid. That is how Wrongney
wants to treat Americans. His plan is to allow the individual states handle the
billions of government dollars. This will open the door to self-serving and
greedy politicians to do what they want with the money. The people waiting for
help from the state government will die on the hospital steps while they are
waiting. The sick will die in waiting rooms and at home because of the greed
and misappropriation of funds. It is happening right now in Florida and Mississippi.
Billions are in the hands of politicians that have personal agendas while those
who need it are waiting to get help. The
governor of Florida was cited for $10 billion dollars in Medicare fraud while
he ran some of the hospitals in Florida. The Republicans and TEA partyers are
going to destroy America as if a Terrorist group has taken over. The
republicans are doing the work of terrorists right now in Washington by
stopping every plan that Obama has on the table. People need help right now but
Wrongney says that he has a plan for the distant future. Obama has a plan right
now in front of the Republicans. When the Healthcare reform bill was being
discussed by the republicans and democrats in the same room, the republicans
had the bill in front of them on the table. The republicans were saying; “We
can’t read this bill” or “We don’t know what is in this bill.” It was right on
the table in front of each person on the Democrats side and the Republican
side. The Republicans were saying; “We want to be included in this process.”
They were sitting in the same room while the process was happening. Yet they
were creating video bites to be used later to fool feeble-minded and unaware
American citizens. The democrats gave
their input without any nonsense. The republicans were just saying; “I am not
going to read this bill. “ They just
want to get the money into their own pockets. Now Wrongney has been saying that
he has a bill that will be a better one. When they say that they haven’t read
the first one, how will they know that Wrongney’s bill is better?
Feeble minded
Americans were told that they were angry by Fox and CNN. They didn’t know what
they were angry about until they were told why.
The fake
polls began to pop up after one month of Obama being in the office of
president. The feeble minded people were told to go into the streets and say
they were angry. The media used steering tactics and fake polls. They were and
are spending and making millions of dollars on the feeble minded that were
duped by the media. The satanic Fox network had the biggest influence on the
feeble minded. I saw how it transpired and was not fooled. Fox was stirring up
the masses to rebel and riot in the streets. They paraded into Washington DC
with pictures of Obama hanging, swastikas and confederate flags waving.
Foxaholics began to buy guns because they were told to fight against fake
socialism in America. They were told that the FEDS were going to take their
guns. CNN joined the band wagon and
reaped millions of dollars. Mr. Murdoch’s media machine has been paying and
getting paid to spread UNLIMITED, MALICIOUS AND UNRESTRAINED LIES ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT.
This created a
windfall of billions for the people at Fox and CNN. People at Fox sold their
souls for money and began to lie effortlessly and very professionally. Some of
the Foxaholics were buying guns by the box loads and hiding them. Guns sales are still soaring because of these
steering tactics. Right now the word on feeble minded street level is that
there is going to be a civil war before the election. They are preparing for
this by digging bunkers and stocking up on thousands of rounds of ammunition.
Fox will be right in the middle orchestrating this civil war. How much more satanic
can it get than that? There are other nations that want America destroyed. Fox
and CNN are helping their cause.
Maybe Nit Wit
Mitt Wrongney needs to go in a plane to 39,000 feet and roll the window down.
The
Republicans want to privatize prisons and hospitals to keep government money
and to place rates however they want.
The votes
from 26 states are sent to Tampa, Florida to be counted. This is where the
Republicans headquarters are located. The company that owns the voting machines
is owned by Spain and has its financial offices in the Cayman Islands where
Wrongney keeps his business affairs finances.

Bosses only work for themselves. When was the last time a boss gave workers a raise without a fight? Bosses have no problem asking for big buck for themselves-but when it's the workers turn it's alayes w"we can afford it".
But we never hear "we can't afford it" for the big CEO salaries.
Hire a boss, you will get extactly what you deserve: NOTHING!
For some reason, Chuck Todd, Brian Williams and NBC in particular tend to downplay the greater enthusiasm of President Obama's crowds at campaign events. The crowds may not be at 2008 levels, but are by far much larger and more enthusiastic than Romney's. Also, for some reason a lack of focus exists to disqualifying the voting machines that can directly be tied to the Romneys. At the very least, a conflict of interest exists. And there are concerns about 10% of Democratic votes in key districts being converted to Republican votes. The lack of ethics of the Republicans shocks me. I am quite confident President Obama is winning handily but incredibly concerned that the press is not adequately covering the voter fraud, voter intimidation, use of questionable voting machines and formulas that could allow "No-core Romney" to steal the election and lead us down a path to a worse scenario than we experienced as a result of the Bush years. My sense is that most Democrats who have been following the campaign closely, along with a number of fair-minded reporters, share in my concern.
From now to election day - both parties, all networks, radio broadcasts will tell you who is winning - Democratic counterparts will tell you Romney is winning, Republican counterparts will tell you Obama is winning. They do this to discourage you from voting for your favorite candidate-do not fall for any of this. Vote - vote early if you can to avoid lines but if you do have to stand in line - do so - do not let anyone or anything sway you from getting out of line and cast your oh-so-important ballot. Please vote.
Polls, newspaper articles, radio and T.V. stations do not vote - people vote - it is essential that you vote for your candidate - every vote counts - make your plans now to vote early or figure out how you are going to get to your voting location on election day - just please do not skip it-really make a plan to vote.
Good post will watch and research before you vote. There are stations out there that call themselves news (FOX, MSNBC) that are biased and will only spin the story to match the candidate. Please research.
Romney will need to be ahead by a sizable amount to offset Obama's superior field operations. Romney is behind in Nevada by only 3 points but when the votes are counted Obama will win by much more. Romney's campaign in Nevada is a joke. If it's the same in other states Obama will win in a landslide.
