Ryan rallies Badger State toward GOP in campaign's closing days

Paul Ryan touts job growth and debt reduction at a campaign event in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

 

EAU CLAIRE, Wisc. -- Six days before Election Day, Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan is devoting an entire day of campaigning in his home state of Wisconsin, a state which hasn’t gone for Republicans in a presidential election in nearly two decades.

“We are used to being battleground states. There are a handful of states that will determine the outcome of this election and Wisconsin is one of them. And so know that we have a unique responsibility and a unique opportunity to help determine the course of this country for along time,” Ryan said after proclaiming his excitement to be back home.

Republican vice presidential candidate, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. greets supporters during a campaign event, Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012, in Eau Claire, Wis.

The Badger State, which last awarded its electoral votes to a Republican presidential candidate in 1984, could be a determining factor on Nov. 6.

The seven-term Wisconsin congressman (who's up for re-election to his House seat next week) was optimistic about next week’s results, speaking at his first of three events Wednesday.

“So this is Wednesday morning. Think about next Wednesday morning,” Ryan told the crowd packed inside Florian Gardens. “We are going to wake up next Wednesday morning and know that we have elected a leader to put our country back on the right track.”

Ryan’s stop here marks his 12th event in Wisconsin.

Romney was originally planning to hold a rally in Milwaukee on Tuesday but was forced to cancel the event due to Hurricane Sandy's impact on the East Coast. The GOP VP nominee stopped by two Wisconsin Victory Centers on Tuesday to thank volunteers for gathering donations to send to victims of the storm.

Ryan will head to rallies in Green Bay and Racine later today before taking part in Halloween trick-or-treating with his three children tonight.

Just think, Eddie Munster won't even need a costume. So where do Willard and Eddie stand on the issue of the day, funding of FEMA and what to do about global warming? Or do they just want to sit back and tell Jeep outsourcing lies while the nation is at crisis. At a time like this, we can really see who looks presidential and who looks petty and small!

Notably, Ryan opposed President Obama’s work to build funding for disaster relief into the budget. The President wants to avoid the delays forced by Cantor and Tea Partiers last year.

Romney said he would end FEMA, and that it would be “immoral” for the federal goverment to fund disaster releif without cutting funding elsewhere. Campaign spokesman yesterday reiterated that Romney wants to leave disaster funding up to the states.

Will Lyin/Ryan be encouraging deception while he's there?

Yesterday, ThinkProgress reported on how the Romney campaign is training poll watchers to mislead voters in Wisconsin. Now, an election official in the Badger State has weighed in to criticize the Romney campaign's practice of hiding their poll watchers' affiliations and confirm that the materials they used in trainings are misleading.

Reid Magney, a spokesman for Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board, spoke with the Washington Post about the story Tuesday and corrected the Romney campaign's claims.

Pronouncing Election Day observers "the first line of defense" against illegal voting, the primer gives trainees some questionable advice. It says, for example, that convicted felons are ineligible to vote in Wisconsin. Not exactly true, according to Reid Magney, spokesman for the state's Government Accountability Board, which administers elections. Felons who are out prison and have completed probation can vote, he said.

"Once you have completed the terms of your sentence your voting rights are restored in Wisconsin," Magney said.

The materials cautioned observers not to assist voters, even though the law says voters can ask for help from anyone.

The Obama campaign has sent a letter to Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen requesting he open an investigation into the trainings. "These acts of willful misinformation to individuals sent to polling locations to enforce the law raise serious concerns under Wisconsin law," Bob Bauer, general counsel for the Obama campaign, wrote. "I ask that your office review this matter urgently, and take all necessary steps to protect the rights of our state's voters."

Michigan doesn't know Romney, and Romney doesn't know Michigan. What we do know is that his dad was a decent governor and that he thinks the trees are the right height (WTF???). "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" hasn't helped him at all, especially when his dad was the head of AMC for years. He hasn't made any significant investments in his "home state", and he doesn't own a residence here. We know he's a fraud, and pandering to the redneck vote will only get you so far around here. Woohoo, he has Kid Rock's endorsement. That would be great if this was 2002. The difference between Mittens and Dubya? Dubya still had his dad around to give him advice on what NOT to do.

....."Just think, Eddie Munster won't even need a costume....."

Now, if we were to call Obama "Magilla Guerilla," or "Dumbo The Elephant" in reference to his obnoxiously oversized ears, we would be chastized as racists and bigots.

But, it's perfectly fine to call a sitting U.S. Congressman, and Vice Presidential Candidate who's spending an evening with his kids, "Eddie Munster."

You people have all the charm and personality of an un-flushed toilet, the intelligence of an ice cube tray, and the maturity level of an 8th grader.

If you are what the school systems are producing these days, then we definitely need to change the direction in which the country is headed, or we are surely doomed!

Since Ryan told a lie in his acceptance speech at the Republican convention, he probably is OK with the lying Jeep ads his campaign is putting out. Maybe his Halloween costume is a marathon runner---they can trick-or-treat in under 3 hours.

Updated as of 2:00pm EST on Wednesday, October 31 (Happy Halloween!):

Real Clear Politics (RCP) is consistently cited by both FOXNEWS and NBCNEWS as a current source for reliable averaged polling data at every level of American politics.

RCP continues to consider the following eleven states, listed in descending order of electoral votes, as "toss-up": Florida (FL), Pennsylvania (PA), Ohio (OH), Michigan (MI), North Carolina (NC),Virginia (VA), Colorado (CO), Wisconsin (WI), Iowa IO), Nevada (NV) and New Hampshire (NH).

With only 130 hours left in the 2012 presidential campaign, Obama leads in seven of the toss-ups, Romney leads in three, and in CO the candidates remain in a tie.

In descending order of 'percentage of lead' in favor of Obama, followed in ascending order of 'percentage of lead' in favor of Romney, here are the published averaged numbers from RCP as of 2:00pm EST together with the most recent FiveThirtyEight election night probabilities of victory for either candidate:

.

In PA, with 20 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 4.6%, down slightly from yesterday's 4.7%.

Nonetheless, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 95.4% chance of winning PA, up from yesterday's 94.2%.

.

In MI, with 16 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 3.0%, down from yesterday's 4.0%.

FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 97.9% chance of winning MI, down slightly from yesterday's 98.1%.

.

In NV, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead is holding at 2.4%.

FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 82.8% chance of winning NV, up significantly from yesterday's 79.7%.

.

In OH, with 18 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.4%, up from yesterday's 2.1%.

FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 77.6% chance of winning OH, up significantly from yesterday's 73.3%.

.

In WI, with 10 electoral votes, Obama's lead is holding at 2.3%.

FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 88.1% chance of winning WI, up significantly from yesterday's 85.7%.

.

In NH, with 4 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 1.0%, down from yesterday's 2.0%.

However, FiveThirtyEight gives Obama a 75.4% chance of winning NH, up significantly from yesterday's 70.3%.

.

In IO, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 1.0%, down from yesterday's 2.3%.

However, FiveThirtyEight gives Obama a 74.4% chance of winning IO, up from yesterday's 73.9%.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In CO, with 9 electoral votes, the race remains tied.

FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 60.7% chance of winning CO, up significantly from yesterday's 55.4%.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In VA, with 13 electoral votes, Romney's lead has risen to 0.5%, up from yesterday's tie.

However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 61.8% chance of winning VA, up significantly from yesterday's 57.8%.

.

In FL, with 29 electoral votes, Romney's lead has fallen to 1.0%, down from yesterday's 1.3%.

FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney a 59.3% chance of winning FL, down significantly from yesterday's 64.7%.

.

In NC, with 15 electoral votes, Romney's lead has risen to 3.3%, up from yesterday's 3.0%.

FiveThirtyEight gives Romney an 82.0% chance of winning NC, up from yesterday's 81.4%.

.

All in all, while Romney's position in toss-up state polling has improved more than Obama's over the past 48 hours, his chances of winning in the majority of these states has declined. This is a function of Romney losing his race against the clock in PA, MI, NH, and IO, in that the rate at which he is tugging at Obama's lead in these states is not quick enough to swing the state into his column.

At the same time, in the state where Romney needs desperately to win, OH, Obama's lead has been widening over the past two days; conversely, in the state where Romney needs desperately to hold onto his lead, FL, that lead has been eroding over the same period.

So...

In order for Obama to win re-election, the least complex route appears to be through maintaining his current lead in the five toss-up states where his existing margins are widest, PA, MI, NV, OH, and WI. Doing so would bring his electoral vote total on Election Day to 271. In this scenario, Obama could still surpass 270 while failing to hold either IO or NH.

However, should Obama fail to hold OH, the loss could effectively be neutralized by any of the following combination of wins from states where FiveThirtyEight is currently predicting Obama victories:

Path #1: Obama loses OH but wins IO, NH, and CO resulting in 272 electoral votes.

Path #2: Obama loses OH but wins VA and NH resulting in 270 electoral votes.

Path #3: Obama loses OH but wins VA and IO resulting in 272 electoral votes.

Path #4: Obama loses OH but wins VA and CO resulting in 275 electoral votes.

With Romney's lead having diminished significantly in FL over the past two weeks and with Hurricane Sandy forcefully highlighting the stark contrast between Obama and Romney regarding the value, necessity, and mere existence of FEMA in a state which has perhaps the greatest dependence on federal storm relief efforts in the country, a 5th path has suddenly appeared on the horizon which could provide for some interesting election night television:

Path #5: Obama loses OH, IO, NH, and WI while failing to capture VA and CO but comes from behind to steal FL resulting in 272 electoral votes.

.

It should be noted regarding Paths #1 and #2 that there remains some question as to the accuracy of the RCP polling numbers in NH which still include in their average a recent 'outlier' finding from UNH which had Obama leading by a questionable 9.0%.

For Romney to unseat Obama, he not only would have to hold the three states in which he presently leads, FL, NC, and VA bringing his electoral vote total to 248, but also steal a victory in CO where his lead fell from 0.4% on Friday to that of dead heat and in OH where Obama's lead this morning rose to 2.4%. By so doing, Romney's electoral vote total would reach 275.

Should Romney take CO and VA but fail to take OH, he could overcome this shortfall by stealing WI and either IO or NH, resulting respectively in an electoral vote total of 273 or 271.

In either scenario, however, Romney must hold FL at all costs.

FiveThirtyEight, at present, estimates the chance of Election Day victory for each candidate as follows: Obama 77.4% - Romney 22.6%. FiveThirtyEight also projects that on Election Day the final electoral tally will be as follows: Obama 299 - Romney 239. Lastly, although it makes no difference in terms of the final result which can only be determined by the Electoral College, FiveThirtyEight currently predicts a national popular vote
distribution on Election Day as follows:
Obama 50.4% - Romney 48.5%.

With only 130 hours of campaigning left, this one is going to come down to the wire….and quite possibly, in a few of the closest toss-up states, to the October jobs report which because of Hurricane Sandy may be delayed from a scheduled Friday release to the following Monday, one day before the election.

Let's hope that Election Day is free of both voter fraud and voter intimidation and that eligible voters who have registered in good faith over the past six months are in fact able to vote on November 6; let's also hope that vote tabulation itself is performed honestly and accurately by both the election commissions and private corporations to whom this essential role is being entrusted.

In any case, it will be interesting to watch as election night unfolds.

      Furthermore, it was Obama who lost 2 million jobs in the first five (5) months of his administration, and we all saw and heard the names that Obama called BOTH Hillary Clinton & Sarah Palin in 2008.

      Oh yeah, he REALLY cares about woman's rights.....NOT!

      You people need to get your priorities straight. Four (4) US Diplomats DIED in Benghazi, because Obama denied their numerous requests for additional security.

      Then he LIED about the motives for the attack on our consulate, and he LIED about calling it "an act of terrorism" the day after it happened. Go read his speech, he never once called it that.

      But, you just don't seem to give a damn.

      But yes go on with your conspiracy theory with how this is the most tragic lost of life America has ever had. Lies and more lies is all the republicans have got. While Benghazi was certainly a tragedy, only a sick republican party would try and create a conspiracy theory to make our President guilty of everything they can think of so Romney and all the bush adviser rehires (70% of bush's old staff) can finish the job of destroying America that bush started.

      Instead of fighting for what the republicans believe in, they think winning by having their rich corporate masters lying to the people is somehow good for America.

      The election isn't going to be close... Dems are afraid in blue states... Romney is going to win in a land slide... compliments of the failed Obama administration....

      Progressive socialism doesn't work.. All it does is enslave people to big government and collectivism... and many people in the blue states are seeing that reality... NO jobs, higher taxes, higher cost of living...

      Obama won WI in 2008 with a 14% margin. Since then, the people of the state have not been very happy with the hope and change, and have methodically purged the Democrats from their government. Got a Republican governor. Got a Tea Party/Republican senator, got a Republican state house and a Republican state senate. The polls have Romney and Obama tied.

How else do you explain an ultra-blue state which is only second to Illinois can go from voting for a president by 14% one day to having every branch of government doing a 180 to the other party? Just a month ago, I couldn't see Romney having an iota of a chance of taking the state. The disaster in Denver really turned it around.

        If the republicans are so good at leading our country, then how did they go from a surplus to the largest deficit in our history in just 8 short years.

        Just where are all the jobs that the republicans promised the bush tax cuts would bring? Did you see those jobs at the end of bush's presidency or did you see a country bleeding hundreds of thousands of jobs due to the republicans incompetence.

        So now the republicans want us to believe that the Clinton years were bad for America. Somehow low unemployment, paying down the debt destroyed America because liberals were in charge.

        Are there no honest republicans left anywhere?

        Romney is a good man. If you talk to anyone who knows him personally (and don't just drink from the liberal media dog bowl) you will find he is a decent individual. Your made up lies and blatant ignoring of all of Obama's lies and coverups does nothing for you.

        Let’s take a moment for some common sense evaluation to point out just one reality. Any candidate, from presidential on down, who stubbornly and combatively advocates the repeal of Obamacare should be critically evaluated. Why? Because they are declaring they are simply “puppets” controlled by limited interests and that they fail to responsibly consider constituents before politics. When Obamacare was being developed our representatives should have used bipartisanship to work together for a bill that provided real reform and responsibly satisfied the country’s needs. Instead the Republicans put their politics above all else, declared “they wouldn’t work with our president” and that “they would make health care reform his waterloo”, their actual words. Obama was forced to push a reform bill through in a partisan manner that no doubt could still use some fine tuning.

        To now push for repeal, again puts politics above responsibilities and, while satisfying Special Interests and “the money”, it leaves the people dependent on those who didn’t want and fought reform to now enact something worthwhile. Their promises ring empty when they decline to refine what we have and what is already providing benefit, to instead go back to having nothing and to start over, leaving the people hoping for something of value. We have consistently seen too much of this, where politicians belligerently put their political ambitions above all else, at any cost to the people, and concentrate on stubbornly blocking and arrogantly faulting all efforts. They depend on the propaganda, with the considerable help of the power, influence and mega-millions of their strong supporters, to con the people and manipulate public opinion - no where in any of it is there any real consideration for the 99%, only deception aimed to benefit their politics and the 1%. In all of this they truly declare their priorities and clearly identify themselves; to now trust them would be self-delusional.

        Going from a 14% victory to a tie in four years in a state where the winning margin has traditionally been less than 1% does not bode well for Obama. WI is in a state of revolt against Democrats as evident by the gubernatorial, US senate and state-wide house and senate races. They are all Republicans.

        In what I have stated I’m sure the facts are objectively true and the conclusions are rationally accurate, so any criticism would seem to be strictly defensive and either biased based or just naive. As an ex-long-term Republican, now an Independent and never a Democrat, all I am interested in is the truth, which I don’t see as gray, and accept wherever that leads; I see anything else as ridiculous and totally counter-productive.

          To be sure, no
          white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of
          America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers,
          would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and
          therefore entitled in the eyes of liberal Dom to have hung out with
          protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a bit
          extreme, he was given a pass. Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass -
          held to a lower standard - because of the color of his skin.

          Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves
          on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they
          are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor
          performance and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don't care if
          these minority students fail; liberals aren't around to witness the
          emotional devastation and deflated self esteem resulting from the racist
          policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist. Holding someone to a
          separate standard merely because of the color of his skin - that's
          affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing is.

Romney and his staff went to Walmart Monday night and spent $5,000 on canned food and diapers because they did not think there would be enough food for the camera's and photo op-Unbelievable !!!! This guy is lower than pond scum !!!!

              Where do you people come up with this crap? Let's pretend that for a moment you're correct and he did spend $5k, chances are after any photo ops it will be sent to the east coast. How much are you sending or do you have to wait for your government check first?

                This makes one wonder if Ryan can count on his own family to vote for him. Perhaps many of his female relatives will not. It is, after all, (still) a secret ballot.
