WEST ALLIS, WI-- Mitt Romney returned to Wisconsin today for the first time since August, delivering his closing argument speech in a state where Republicans hope they can manage a chink in the President Barack Obama's Midwestern armor.
Romney received a raucous welcome from an overflow crowd of 4,000 Wisconsinites chanting "four more days" this morning, welcoming the Republican presidential nominee with some of the loudest support Romney has won since returning to a full campaign schedule in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
"What a great state. What a great welcome, and by the way this state is going to help me become the next president of the United States," Romney said, taking the stage following an introduction from the state's once-embattled Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
"I want to thank you for all that you've done and all you're going to do in the next four days and I want to tell you how much I appreciate being in the home of the next vice president of the United States," Romney said moments later, referring to his running mate Paul Ryan, who was born and raised in nearby Janesville, Wisc.

For the Romney campaign, the presence of a native son of the Badger state on the ticket, along with Walker's strong performance in this summer's failed recall effort, highlight an opportunity to solve a vexing problem -- how to break through Obama's Midwestern firewall.
"They woke a sleeping giant here I would say during the recall," Milwaukee business owner Frank Orlando told NBC News, adding that he was volunteering for a political campaign -- Romney's -- for the first time in his life. He added that half the volunteers he works with are also engaging in politics directly for the first time that cycle.
"We love Paul Ryan," said Grace Lococo, another event attendee from Milwaukee. "We grew up following him."
Romney aides say they see that type of familiarity and enthusiasm as emblematic of a blue state ripe for flipping.
"We see Republican gains in Wisconsin for the past few cycles and we believe its an excellent opportunity for a Romney pickup," Romney spokesperson Rick Gorka said.

Recent polling lends some credence to that theory. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll released earlier this week showed Romney cutting Obama's lead in Wisconsin down to three points -- 49 to 46 percent -- half of what it had been a month prior and within the poll's margin of error.
With the president under the 50 percent threshold, Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes could help Romney succeed on Tuesday should he fail to break through in the race's most critical battlefield of Ohio, where he'll campaign the rest of the day Friday, and return later in the weekend.
For the Romney campaign, Wisconsin has already proven decisive once. The state's primary in April, which Romney won handily, was the last truly competitive contest between Romney and Rick Santorum, and helped wrap up the contentious GOP primary race later that month.

Obama is up by 5+ … good luck with that dream Mitt
There has only been 19 Million people participate in early voting so far across the country.
There were over 65 Million votes cast in the 2008 Presidential election so there's a whole lot more party to happen.
There's ZERO desperation on the Republican side and as far as I can see the Democrats have a really bad case of the "A$$ SWEATS!!!"
ROMNEY FTW!!!
Thursday, November 01, 2012....... TIED 49% ALL
Wisconsin which may prove to be the key to the entire presidential contest remains a tie less than a week before Election Day.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Wisconsin Voters finds President Obama and Mitt Romney each earning 49% support. Two percent (2%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Wisconsin remains a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College Projections. Obama carried Wisconsin by a 56% to 42% margin in 2008.
Ticked, where are you getting this nonsense data? Seriously, I'd really like to know.
In the last three days, I've been quoted phantom polls in Ohio that I can't seem to find anywhere, assertions about early voting numbers that seem to only exist on message boards and a bunch of anecdotal evidence that seems to suggest when all cobbled together that it's impossible for Obama to take Ohio.
Is there some supersecret aggregator website where all of the polls favorable to Romney are being hidden or something? Because none of this is found on RCP or 538 or HuffPo or anywhere where people take pride in crunching all of these numbers.
Try looking it up or maybe just click the link in the post. Can you not read?...it says RASMUSSEN
Use your Magic Under pants; Myth. I can't you can't. They're on FIRE. Politifact has given you lots of FIRE.

You're quoting a poll that was taken on 10/25. Why are you claiming that it was taken two days ago? There have been 5 polls in the state since then.
Anyone know who is winning the independents and by how much in Ohio.
.
It's Romney by 15 points!
The average of the last 4 polls in Wisconsin between 10/28 and 10/29 including the Rasmussen tie yields an average of 5.0 lead for President Obama.

Hey Michael
The data is NOT from 10/25 its from YESTERDAY
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2012/election_2012_presidential_election/wisconsin/election_2012_wisconsin_president
I would expect Rasmussen's numbers for Romney to come down by voting day. In they end they would prefer to project some form of closer accuracy. Future gravitas and contracts etc.
IF the sampling was correct, Dennis. The polls with larger samplings, and a more diverse cross section of demographics show Romney either in the lead, or they show the is race tied.
But, then again, that's what the main stream media WANTS you to see. They WANT to show Obama in the lead, so they do.
Even, when he isn't
Just as they refuse to tell us the TRUTH about Benghazi, and just as they refuse to show us what's REALLY going on here in the northeast.
There are people out on Long Island, over in Manhattan and Staten Island, and up in Connecticut who have it just as bad as the victims of Katrina, because Obama's response team's have IGNORED them.
There is garbage piling up in the streets, people are living in overcrowded shelters, there's no food and water in some areas, no electricity, no heat or hot water, and NOBODY is moving to change it or demand that Obama pay attention to it.
In short; the media is covering up for Obama, AGAIN!
He went over to Jersey, and made a big photo-op out of trying to french-kiss Chris Christie. Now he's back out campaigning while hundreds of thousands of people throughout Westchester County are without power, and without GASOLINE!
WHY ISN'T THE MEDIA COVERING THIS!
IT'S AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE!
GET OUT THERE AND DO YOUR JOB M.S.M.!

Michael,
Oh never mind, I see ticked beat me to it.
Nobody really knows who is winning anything right now in Ohio. All you have are the equivalent of exit polls. The Rasmussen result from today says this:
Ray will undoubtedly be angry with me because Scott Rasmussen once appeared on Fox and claimed that they did not poll early voters, but Rasmussen continually reports early vote results for every poll writeup on their website. So I will opt to believe Rasmussen over Ray at this point, though I do grant that this may just be a ploy on Rasmussen's part to confuse people like me while secretly emailing Ray and other conservatives the real story.
ROMNEY FTW!!!
Just think, in less than 100 hours we will NEVER hear from this re-reg, comment spamming, crazy, asswipe again!
*WOOT*
What a friggin' idiot. This jackass is one seat away from being POTUS.
Another Biden Gaffe: ‘There’s Never Been A Day In The Last Four Years I’ve Been Proud to Be His Vice President’
Vice President Joe Biden during a stop in Beloit, Wisc., on Friday made a surprising revelation: He has never been proud being President Obama’s VP.
. . .The vice president just jumbled his words. Again.
“There’s never been a day in the last four years I’ve been proud to be his vice president,” Biden told the crowd. “Not one single day.”

Actually, the media IS covering this...gas lines...power outages...yeah, I saw all of this on Morning Joe this morning.
Oops, I stand corrected. Rasmussen did get a tie two polls in a row. You might want to correct your link so it doesn't display the poll from 10/25.
As in... you know... the link you told me to click still takes you to the 10/26 result.
TAKE IT TO THE BANK…ROMNEY WINS OHIO!!!
Ohio IS a Republican state PERIOD!
41 of the last 49 years Ohio has had a Republican Governor.
The Ohio House and Senate are overwhelmingly Republican.
Every ELECTED Ohio Supreme Court Judge is Republican, 1 D. Justice Brown was APPOINTED
In the 88 Counties of Ohio, has about 750 elected officials and 600 are Republican.
Since 1960 Ohio has voted correctly in every presidential election.
In 1992 Ohio voted for Bill Clinton running against a failing Bush, Ohio chose the more viable candidate.
In 1996 Ohio voted for Bill Clinton running against Bob Dole, Ohio chose the more viable candidate.
In 2008 Ohio voted for Barack Obama because John McCain would not work with local Republicans, Ohio voted for the more viable candidate.
When you give Ohio NO option, Ohio will vote Democrat.
October 3rd 2012 Mitt Romney proved he was the ONLY option for Ohio in 2012!
Absentee votes: Comparing 5 days before the election in 2008 and 5 days before election in 2012. Democrat absentee votes are 230,000 short of 2008 and Republican absentee votes are plus 30,000.
Independent votes: All polls conducted for Independent voters show no less than a 10% advantage to Romney.

Obama/Biden 2012
You never hear people saying they WANT to support Romney, only that they might vote for him, because they wish the economy was better - a really dumb reason, considering Romney's policies are to cut taxes for the rich, even though Bush tried that during two terms and it left us worse off.
I think many people who SAY they may vote for Romney, will just stay home instead. It's very disheartening to cast a vote for a guy you just don't like.
Mitt the daredevil will be crushed by the firewall, engulfed by the fire of people's power.
Hey Fishy Smellin Redhead...aka Jen Psaki
Dont you feel the least little bit ashamed for misleading these good American people?
They think your just one of the gang....There's really no name for the slime that you are!
...
It's not.
That's why it's necessary to occasionally look at sites other than RCP. I know you guys don't like HuffPo or 538 because it makes you feel physically ill to go to navigate to such obviously liberal places, but their polling data is generally a lot more up to date and they have licenses for a lot more polling organizations... at least during this election cycle they have.
538, for example, has much more recent polling data on New Mexico.

Ohio: Romney vs. Obama Rasmussen Reports Obama 49, Romney 49 Tie
Oh, goodie.
I don't have to write that big long list of numbers after Ohio every morning and can just revert it back to All O.
Obviously Rasmussen is just succumbing to the Axelrod Jedi Mind Control now too, guys. They're apparently using the same +56 Dem model that every other polling agency has started to use! Don't worry about it. It's not that bad.
Rut-roh - more plagiarism worthy of being banned from newsvine.
Actually in 2008 the vote totals were:
Obama 69,499,428 McCain 59,950,323
White House Operator: Hello, how can I help you?
Benghazi Embassy: WE'RE UNDER A TERRORIST ATTACK!
White House: Don't worry it's just a movie.
Benghzi Embassy: What? They just killed Ambassador Stevens--
White House: We're sorry the President has an urgent fund raiser in Nevada
Benghazi Embassy: But we need help!

Ticked,
Please read the latest timeline of events in Benghazi …
http://t.news.msn.com/us/us-officials-timeline-of-events-surrounding-libya-rescue-effort
Support was sent and no 'stand down' order was issued
My goodness... had to scroll down quite a way before I could get a word in edgewise! I see that the ususal supects are up to their usual stuff; Ticked is posting his version of "War and Peace", apparently blissfully unaware that the only people who will actually plow all the way through, instead of just fast-forwarding past it, are other fanatics like him.
Ticked... baby... calm down, dude. Take a breath... it's really OK, man. We survived eight years of Bush (barely); you'll survive the eventual return to prosperity and full employment in President Obama's second term. Benghazi is out of steam; it's a story that the whole world has moved past, except for you and your tinfoil-hatted cohorts.
Aw, c'mon, Ticked, why you gotta pull a gloomy puss? There's always Area 51... and the Roswell Incident... and the Tunguska Event... and the Apollo "moon landings"... bro, you're never going to run out of material. The world is a truly weird place; there's plenty to keep you busy.
Peace!
Hey ticked off in Ohio... Pretty funny!!
It is a surprise that you are not up in arms about the voter fraud that is going to happen in your state. A conservative panel of judges just ruled in favor of your A-hole Sec of State Husted's attempts to disenfranchise voters. It is now possible for the ANY partisan elections officer to give voters wrong information about which precinct they can vote in. If the voter then goes and votes in that incorrect precinct then the vote does not count. Are you going to go help to ensure that people get the correct information about which precinct to vote in? I doubt you will because you are stuck making ludicrous jokes about Benghazi and the Americans who died serving this nation without FULLY understanding the issue.
I predict that the GOP leaning elections officers will give BAD information to ALL minority voters so as to be able to render their votes invalid. What a joke OHIO is. A bad and traitorous joke which is truly NOT funny but is instead a travesty of justice and is anathema to ANY democracy.
AMF
I'M THE CHANGE!!!!
Lol at squarepants trying to convince everyone he is different than Bush, against tax cuts, against war, and for the auto bailout.
It is incredible. More amazing are those that will vote for him anyway. We all know he is a bundled up pack of lies, but about half the country doesn't care! Astounding.
Ticked, would you be willing to share some of the Weed you are smoking?? I will pay for it upfront so don't be a GOP grinch. It must be good stuff to take you out of reality so far. I can hear the bubbles popping now! Let's hope your Mitty does not catch us or he will have us executed on the White House lawn for entertainment.
Breaking news that the Ohio Secretary of State is rejecting 33,000 absentee ballots due to "computer glitch". Other shenanigans afoot as well. Could tie up vote for weeks.

O & JOE!
You are wasting your time and money, Mitt, campaigning in WI.
With Chris Christie relationship, Bloomberg endorsement, Colin Powell endorsement, The Economist endorsement and a better than expected jobs report -- all in the same week -- you are screwed, Mitt. Your goal now is to just not get blown out of the water -- spend your last few days in VA, CO and FL -- all of which are tied up and you stand a chance of carrying.
How can anyone vote for a ticket that includes a 70 year old vice president who is so senile that he repeatedly doesn't know what State he is in and thinks we are fighting in Iran instead of Afghanistan. The Obama/Biden ticket is nuts -- Obama should have dumped Biden. It displays how incompetent Obama is and how much Obama really cares for this country.
Mitt's eyes look manic in the picture on this article. He looks like a rabid fanatic. I've noticed that a lot in recent pictures. It's pretty scary.
Faux "News" shrills' heads are set to explode. The writing is on the wall, the Cons won't win, they can't cheat their way to victory. The narrative they expound is so provably false, they can't even keep their lies straight. They figured the American people didn't understand that the Depression was their fault, much like the last time. They couldn't hide the overt tea bag racism. Uncle Karl "turdblossom", thought he could take advantage of another disaster to trick the people into buying into his brand of steaming shyte. No they could not buy the election. Corporate went along with sitting on their cash for a couple of years just to see if they could get the social safety net abolished, banking regulations neutered, taxes cut forever and unions crushed once and for all. Along with the Republicks in the House, they have kept the economy sputtering to see if they could get what they wanted. They will not hold up their obstructions for another four years. The economy will come back and the American people will be glad they didn't step in it again. Eight years of Republican dysfunction was enough.
Updated as of 5:00pm EST on Friday, November 2 (Thank God It's Friday!):
Real Clear Politics (RCP) consistently has been the "go-to" source for accurate averaged daily polling data for both FOXNEWS and NBCNEWS. With only 78 hours left to go in the 2012 presidential campaign, RCP continues to report Obama leading in eight of their 11 toss-up states with Romney leading in three.
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 5:00pm EST together with the most recent FiveThirtyEight election night probabilities of victory for either candidate:
In WISCONSIN, with 10 electoral votes, Obama's lead has jumped to 5.0%, up from 3.7% Thursday afternoon. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 91.2% chance of victory here, up by a significant 5.5% from Tuesday.
In PENNSYLVANIA, with 20 electoral votes, Obama's lead is holding at 4.6%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 96.2% chance of victory here, up by 2.0% from Tuesday.
In MICHIGAN, with 16 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 3.5%, up from 3.0% Thursday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 98.6% chance of victory here, up by a slight 0.5% from Tuesday.
In NEVADA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.7%, up from 2.4% early Thursday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 87.7% chance of victory here, up by an astonishing 8.0% from Tuesday.
In OHIO, with 18 electoral votes, Obama's lead has settled today at 2.4%, up from Thursday's 2.3%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 80.5% chance of victory here, up by a substantial 7.2% from Tuesday.
In IOWA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.0%, up from 1.3% Thursday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 78.8% chance of victory here, up by a significant 4.9% from Tuesday.
In NEW HAMPSHIRE, with 4 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.0%, up from 1.3% Thursday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 77.8% chance of victory here, up by a substantial 7.5% from Tuesday.
In COLORADO, with 9 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 1.0%, up from 0.9% Thursday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 64.6% chance of victory here, up by an astonishing 9.2% from Tuesday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In VIRGINIA, with 13 electoral votes, Romney's lead is holding at 0.5%. Interestingly, FiveThirtyEight increased Obama's chance of victory here, and NOT Romney's, to 66.4%, up by an astonishing 8.2% from Tuesday.
In FLORIDA, with 29 electoral votes, Romney's lead is holding at 1.2%. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney a 55.1% chance of victory here, surprisingly down by an astonishing 9.6% from Tuesday. It should be noted that RCP's average in this state has been inflated by a recent outlier finding in favor of Romney from Gravis Marketing, a polling firm funded in large part by BAIN Capital.
In NORTH CAROLINA, with 15 electoral votes, Romney's lead is holding at 3.8%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney an 79.9% chance of victory here, down by a slight 0.3% from Wednesday.
So...
In order for Obama to win re-election the least complex route would be through maintaining his current lead in the five toss-up states where his existing margins are widest (Wisconsin at 5.0%, Pennsylvania at 4.6%, Michigan at 3.5%, Nevada at 2.7%, and Ohio at 2.4%). 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 Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado.
However, should Obama fail to hold Ohio, the loss could effectively be neutralized by any of the following combination of wins from states where FiveThirtyEight is currently forecasting Obama victories:
Path #1: Obama loses Ohio but wins the remaining three states where he currently leads, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado resulting in 272 electoral votes.
Path #2: Obama loses Ohio but steals Virginia while also taking New Hampshire, Iowa, OR Colorado resulting in 270, 272, or 275 electoral votes, respectively.
Interestingly, with Romney's lead having diminished significantly in Florida over the past two weeks and with Hurricane Sandy forcefully highlighting the stark contrast between the candidates regarding the value and necessity if not the mere existence of FEMA in a state which has perhaps the greatest dependence on federal storm relief efforts in the nation, a 3rd path has now emerged which could provide for some interesting election night television:
Path #3: Obama comes from behind to win Florida. This scenario would require only that Obama win the three states in which his present leads are widest (Wisconsin at 5.0%, Pennsylvania at 4.6%, and Michigan at 3.5%), resulting in 276 electoral votes.
For Romney to unseat Obama, he not only would have to hold the three states in which he presently leads, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia bringing his electoral vote total to 248, but also steal victories in both Colorado where Obama's lead rose yesterday to 0.9% and in either Ohio (where Obama's lead has settled today at 2.4%, up from Thursday's 2.3%) or in Pennsylvania (where Romney's campaign suggested earlier this week that Obama's significant lead of 4.6% may be vulnerable). By so doing, Romney's electoral vote total would reach 275 or 277, respectively.
Romney's Pennsylvania strategy, however, may be a highly-marketed feint designed to counter Obama's anticipated re-allocation of campaign resources to a quantifiably softening political landscape in Florida.
In any event, should Romney fail to steal either Ohio or Pennsylvania he could overcome this shortfall by capturing the four other states in which Obama's current leads are smallest (Colorado at 1.0%, New Hampshire at 2.0%, Iowa at 2.0%, and Nevada at 2.7%) resulting in an electoral vote total of 273.
FiveThirtyEight this morning estimates the chance of Election Day victory for each candidate as follows: Obama 80.9% (up from Wednesday's 79.0%) and Romney 19.1% (down from Wednesday's 21.0%).
FiveThirtyEight now also projects that on Election Day the final electoral tally will be as follows: Obama 303 (up by 4 from Wednesday's 299) and Romney 235 (down by 4 from Wednesday's 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 50.5% (up from Wednesday's 50.4%) and Romney 48.4% (down from yesterday's 48.6%).
With only 78 hours of campaigning left, and with this morning's published October jobs report playing to predictably mixed reviews (economy adding more jobs than expected; unemployment rate ticking up one tenth of one percent to 7.9%), holdout voters may now be left to nothing more than the proverbial 'feel in their gut' as Tuesday approaches.
TGIF, America. Go have a drink.
Romney, Ryan and Walker are the biggest fraudsters ever to be subjected unto voters. Wisconsin's not being scammed again. Take a hike to Palinville GOP.
Feisty said:
And what, pray tell, will you do for a job after Obama loses and you are no longer on his payroll, Feisty? Will he stop the checks immediately, or wait until January?
We don't need another two years of traitorous obstructionists. Tea Party Republicans must go.
Thank God -- in just 4 days we will no longer have to listen to the Romney lying machine. I remember every presidential candidate since Ike/Stevenson in 1952 and this Romney clown is the most dishonest candidate of them all.
msnbcmfn
Nice democrat version.
Ohio will not be in Obama's camp. To know were you are in the vote, you have to tally per precincts that are republican and those that are democrat. The Republican ones area up 3 - 14% and the democrats are down 3 - 10%. I've now heard several estimates from both Republican and non-republican sources that the changes in early voting give the republicans about a 8,000 more votes than what they lost by in 2008.
Both Florida and Colorado have experienced a severe drop in the number of democrat votes. This may mean Romney winning these two states. Both Nevada and Iowa leave the impression that Obama will will but with a much smaller margin than in 2008. I saw a day by day blow of the percentages of Democrat and Republican ballots being cast. The democrat share was shrinking 1 point per day over the last 5 days and both the Republican and independent ballots were increasing 1 point each per day over the last 5 days of voting.
Wisconsin was poorly polled for the Scott Walker recall. I think you wait and see.
Pennsylvania - where most of our relatives are, I'm hearing people we know voting Romney. I'm also hearing in the Pittsburgh areas many have switched to Romney from Obama After the debate. Wait and see.
Michigan should go to Obama, but the one big concern for democrats that I saw was a poll last week that they had to contact 35,000 people before they got 1122 responses. This is people not who probably are not going to go to vote. Being the Republicans are by far more motivated, this too is a wait and see.
Virginia, North Carolina. Republicans appear to have more than covered the differences that McCain lost by.
WISCONSIN:
YOUR AND MY KIDS NEED YOU!!!!
Romney/Ryan to save their FUTURE!
Whoa -- just been reading up on this Gloria Allred announcement about Mitt Romney testifying in court against a woman during her divorce proceedings just so he and the husband could divide up the spoils later. This is very disturbing. Not surprising, but disturbing.

You won't even carry your running mate Lyin Ryan's own state!
Any other lefty libruls feeling the momentum growing for the President?
BTW: Why is the audience at Willard's rallies all old white people & kids who are too young to even vote?
While the President has such diversity at his rallies?
The YOUTH are our FUTURE!
Ah Yes, Willard bested batcrapcrazy Santorum!......not truly competitive!
Rasmussen has a 49-49 in Wisconsin as of yesterday. You may want to wait until Wednesday to take that victory lap Fisty.
Because Romneys base is at work! Paying for Obama supporters!
Actually, Nate gives the President a 91% chance of winning WIS.

Ticked, you are one dumb piece of trash.
I copy this information straight from the Rasmussen link you posted. It says Mccain Leading in FL and tied in OH. What was the outcome, Obama won both states. You stupid right wing fool. Just so everybody else can see how stupid you is.

FOX/Rasmussen Swing State Polling - November 2, 2008
Monday, November 03, 2008
Email to a Friend
Fox News/Rasmussen Reports polling this week in Colorado, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia shows some improvements for John McCain but the overall results still leave Barack Obama in a better position on the eve of the election.
Obama now leads in two of the Battleground states while the candidates are tied or within a point of each other in four. At one level, that’s an improvement for McCain. Last week, he was even in just two states while trailing in four.
But, while it’s an improvement for McCain, this week’s results don’t alter the underlying dynamic of the race. All six of these Battleground states were Republican states in 2004 and McCain probably needs to win all six to capture the White House.
Ohio is one of the two states where McCain gained ground this week and the candidates are now tied at 49% in the Buckeye State. This helps explain why the campaigns have had such a strong presence in the state during the closing days of Election 2008. In the last six Fox News/Rasmussen Reports Ohio polls, Obama and McCain have been within two points of each other five times. Neither man has reached the 50% level of support in any of the past six Ohio surveys.
McCain also gained ground in Florida this week. After trailing by four a week ago, the Republican hopeful now holds a one-point advantage, 50% to 49%. This is the second time in three weeks that McCain has been up by a point in Florida.
To continue, Rasmussen said Mccain has been up by a Point in FL and Tied in OH.
Finally 2008 results, Obama won Fl by 1 point, Obama won OH by 4.
So how accurate can Rasmussen be when he predicted Mccain winning both states and Mccain Lost both.
BTW, Rasmussen was also wrong with some of the other battleground states that election too.

I think after this election, you are going to say "Nate Silver who?"
The polls he is using are strictly 2008 as a model and 2008 as a trend.
2010 says that 2008 is not a the model or a trend. Early voting is telling us that 2008 is not a model or a trend.
Gallup is telling you that 2008 is not a model or a trend.
One more time, 2008 is not the norm nor is it a trend.

I looked these up.
Rasmussen's last poll in Viginia Obama +4 and that was the margin of victory
Rasmussen's last poll in North Carolina was McCain +1. He lost by 13,000 votes
Rasmussen's last poll in Florida was McCain +1 and Obama won by 2.
Rassmusen most accurate Poll since 2004 ...Sorry. You can look at their methods and not like them ...but they are the most accurate.
I just googled again...Rassmusen most accurate. The reports up top came from opinions and Editorials...
hehe, they said "crack" and "Romney" in the same sentence. Reminds me of that face he made at the debates, like he just farted and it was so bad even he couldn't stand it but had to keep it together.
He who smelt it, dealt it...I think it's in the Constitution.
That "crack" reference was directed towards Obama and what he smoked.

No, Benny it is for you crack heads in the MYTH Romney cult.

October's polling for Wisconsin. I don't see it. This is sort of like Pennsylvania. Basically Romney needs some combination of Ohio/Pennsylvania and one of Colorado or Iowa. You know how it gets late in the NFL season when you're talking about the scenarios for the last team to get into the playoffs when you have a couple that are 8-7? That's basically where were are with Romney now. He needs to hold his tenuous leads in Florida, Virginia, and North Carolina and get 'help.'
Just winning Ohio or Pennsylvania alone won't get him there.
Yup. Willard needs the five teams in front of him to lose, the sixth team in front of him to beat the seventh team in front of him by 47 points and the eigth and ninth team in front of him to tie.
The Romney supporters are desperately hoping that previously unbiased polling organizations (not you, Rassmussen!) have suddenly ALL become biased towards the Democrats.
To paraphrase Nate Silver, possible but not very probable.....
The swing between unreliable/reliable and now unreliable again is pretty predictable.
Now all they have left is the cheerleading and pretending they have some secret the rest of us don't know.
Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers have nobody but themselves to blame. A fool and his money are soon parted.
LOL!
Boy them right wingers love them some Rasmussen, I wonder why
Question: Could it be possible that this is an attempt to try and win Wisconsin because Ohio may be out of reach for the Romney Campaign?
They need to go after all combinations as their path has become exceedingly narrow.
ROMNEY FTW!!!
Romney and Ryan in Wisconsin, because baloney always goes down easier with cheese.
Especially Mitt's favorite kind: pious baloney!
You mean Obalogna which is the same as Obamanure.
If the good people of Wisconsin are as inundated with attack ads as we are in Maine/NH, then they will be as scared as I would of running into Mitt Romney in person - the guy has run such a negative campaign, he reminds me of Jack Nickelson in the Shining..."here's Johnny!"
You must be confused- Romney has been running a campaign based on what he will do to help the nation while obama has been running a campaign against Romney. obama supporters have essentially accused Romney of being a felon, a murderer, a tax cheat, a thief and a liar, none of which is true.
obama started pointing the finger of blame and siccing his minions on the target-of-the-day from the first day he took office. He fostered the hateful punitive attitude we've seen since 2009, the us versus them crap and unfortunately his herd bought into it. Sad.
Mitt Romney will restore honor to our nation. He will not bow to foreign leaders, he will not apologize for American exceptionalism, he will not disgrace the office of president like obama has. And hopefully when the Democrat voters see the improvements that will happen under President Romney they'll go back to being a party worthy of a vote- something we've not seen in a while.
WowFastZ, you're drinking the kool-aid so fast, I bet you can't even tell what flavor it is....smells like sour grape.
Actually I prefer tropical punch Koolade. The tapwater here in Florida sucks so the flavoring is essential.
That said you apparently have difficulty dealing with the truth. Too bad for you.
Fast Z
Our country does not need to regain its honor because America never lost its honor in the first place
4 more years! Obama/Biden 2012
If Willard thinks he will win in Wisconsin, he is not trying to find a crack in Obama's firewall, he is smoking crack!
How delicious- neither "Little Napoleon" Scott Walker nor Paul Ryan can deliver for Romney. Shows that I am not the only sane person in Packerland! How sweet it will be. Looking forward to FR being troll free on Wednesday morning...
What a joke. Wisconsin has been blue for a long time. Willard is just scare and running around like a panicky mouse in a maze. He doesn't know where to go. He doesn't know what to do. He tries hard to sound like Obama but Willard does not have the looks, or the genuine compassion and caring that Obama does. Willard looks just plain scared because he knows... he knows when he looks at the polls, when he dreams of states of blue, he knows...he is going to loose. Ohio is out of his reach now. New Hampshire is almost gone. Iowa is certainly going blue, and he has all he can do just to keep his lies reverberating upon ignorant minds in Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia. Colorado looks like it is going blue with Nevada too.
The only ones left to support Willard are the Mitt-wits...Oh, I mean Nitt-- wits.
Oh come on guys. I've only seen a handful of Benghazi references today. I wanna hear more about Benghazi. And how Evil the President is. And how callous we all are because we don't see the Huge Conspiracy behind it...

One thing for sure, you won' t hear a peep from MYTH about Benghazi. See, Myth lives in an alternate place far, far away from Benghazi which knows nothing about Benghazi. In other words, all things Benghazi is all in MYTH's scray ass big head never to be revealed.

Obama
Just for you agent 99. Obama's firewall is burning like a Bengahzi consulate.
Firewalls don't burn. That's why they are firewalls. Willard's pants are on fire, though.
I would hope the people of Wisconsin have come to their senses and see that Obama is not really concerned about them. Remember Obama promised he would come to Wisconsin and march with the unions during the recall election, but then just flew over the state and never mentioned it again.
The people of Wisconsin were smart enough to keep Governor Walker in office, by an even bigger margin, during the recall than the first election.
Exit polling from the recall showed although most Winconsins did not agree with Walker's policies, they didn't feel it warranted a recall.
The exit polling also showed Pres. Obama with a sizeable lead over Mitt Romney, a lead he still enjoys. (except in the biased world of Rassmussen polling, which is based on robo calls to landlines only)
President Obama wins Ohio, Wisconsin, and another term.
If the President and the left think Wisconsin is such a slam dunk why is the President still making personal appearances there? Obama is desperate and it shows in his campaigning. BTW, what is FEMA doing for those on Staten Island, NY? Just saw a woman complaining that she hasn't seen FEMA, Red Cross or any other help, but yet Bloomberg want's to have the NY Marathon and is using generators, police and other support that could be used to help the people in Staten Island.
Man .. I am really glad President Obama wore his Commander and Chief Jacket yesterday...Otherwise I would have never recognized him. Good thing his name was on it for all of us to see..
sfcret - the only desperate poeple are in Romney's camp - realizing their empty suit is about to fade away!
mike - really? You're going to go to the jacket??? Since all President's have their own Commander in Chief jackets with their names on them you're going to be an imbecile and bring that up? Oh, yeah, you are!
Obama/Biden 2012
SeekingSanity - The challenger in any race is never desperate. Only those currently in charge or the lead panic and show desperation. BTW, my question was if Obama and the left believe that Wisconsin is a slam dunk why is Obama still campaigning there?
Ok sfcret, you every heard of these things called "Get out the Vote", "Turn-out", "Fire up the base".
The only reason Obama is campaigning in states like WI is to sure up support and get his voters ready to turn out. Romney is doing the same thing. Its called Presidential Campaign idiot..
Right wing fools on Fox News saying Romney gonna win OH, FL, VA, WI, IA, CO and even PA. You heard of Dick Morris, he's on Fox news almost every week. People like him saying Romney gonna win in a landslide. Well if that's true, Why the Hell is Romney still campaigning for.
Its over right, why is he still campaigning "sfcret", I'm waiting for my answer.
Jason797 - The only idiot is you and the left wing nuts. You don't have to campaign in states that you are confident you will and polls show you will win. Don't see Obama in CA, NY, & Ill, for example because they are locked in for him. You don't spend money and time if you don't have to.
Yes ....Seeking... going to a jacket....his arrogance .....why did he have it on....Ohhh he was working in Sandy politicizing a Disater! Again...you cant help yourself with name calling...Pathetic!!!
gremlins.....
Why is Paul Ryan in Minn?
Minnesota has a gay marriage const amendment up for a vote.
Gay marriage is 0 for 32 in previous votes..evangelicals will show up in big numbers.
Minn will be a surprise state for Romney.
Sorry, no Bob. Not here in MN. The amendment is in a virtual tie. I have been involved in making calls for the no vote. When you have reasonable conversations with people, the ones I have talked to have moved toward no.
Could it pass? Sure. Will it be a blow out. No.
Surprise, surprise, Probe Boy wants to extend his activities to same-sex couples. Just can't seem to keep his probe to himself.
We have to remember it is rare that this Nation has ever had a successful business man serve as President of the United States. Willard's business experience was to make money for investors and create jobs over seas.
Look at the records of business men such Hoover and Bush that were big failures, which crippled the Nation.
So let's not trust a so called business man to lead us. Remember anyone can be a business man, including a child with a kool aid stand.
a child with a kool aidstand has more business experience that Obama
If Romney wins Minnesota, we will know for sure why we had a hurricane. Minnesota hasn't voted red since forever. They, along with D.C. were the ONLY ones that Mondale won against Reagan. So, if there is speculation that Romney will win MN, Obama had better be VERY worried!
Mr. Steady - there is no speculation Romney will win MN - except from moron Bob!
Obama/Biden 2012
Wisconsin’s please hold on for President Obama. You are our saving grace in saving the middle class Americans, senior citizens, and the poor. We need you. Please do not let us down.
Obama/Biden 2012
hey "dicked off in Ohio," your boy mittens is a loser in this race......start packing you panties and lick your wounds, because Obama will still be our commander and chief when the dust settles!!!!!
No desperation here, it's going to happen.
you little ass sweat king, you!!!!
Obama/Biden 2012 "We Got it Straight in 2008!!!"
@Ticked Off... I am so very proud of you, you found the CAPS LOCK key.
4 more days to see these people break down and sob, scream hatred and conspiracy, swear no-compromising with the "retard" (as they called their president) who the wiser American just elect for them
I can wait
4 more days
Sorry but your republican arithmetic want work here. Most of have and others are still going to Vote a Straight Democratic Ticket.
Romney will not crack the firewall when you continue to lie about the auto bailout. This is an example in how he would govern which is scary,please, give me a break.
Obama/Biden 2012
Democrats for Romney 2012!!!!!!!!!!
You are not a DEMOCRATS who paying YOU !
Lets get real. If you are for Romney something is very wrong. Because Dems knows a liar when they see one. What Romney believes is so right that there is no center. So stop the BS because its not jiving. I hope the Obama gets a second term, he needs to finish his term. This man is a strong leader and cares about the People and He serves the People. Romney cares about self and got to much BUSH staff on his payroll which tells you something. Stop being blind to the fact that Romney is not good for the country. Lets move Forward. Get out and Vote.
He's either desperate or wasting his time. Let's not forgot what transpired last June in the WI recall--an electorate that was +5 for Gov. Walker went for Obama in the exit polling with the students gone for summer. Very tough if not impossible for Romney to overcome. I suspect he knows that he's lost this race pending some miracle.
Wisconsin is going for Obama
Ohio is going for President Obama
Florida is going for Obama/Biden
Virginia will go to Obama
North Carolina will go to Romney, but by Thursday -after he loses- they will be cursing his Yankee existence. So will all the other wing nuts that post here.
You obviously have drunk way to much of the lib kool aid! Romney will win in an electoral LANDSLIDE!!
NO MORE OF THE LIAR AND FAILURE 44!!
ROMNEY to the rescue!!
Another Dick Morris prediction, Romney win in a landslide. Even go ol Rasmussen told sean hannity he doesn't know who is going to win and you Cheddarisbetter is saying Landslide. What an idiot..
Let's see....For months we heard that Scott Walker was going to lose in a recall election for his "union busting" legislation but instead he won the recall vote by a wider margin than his original win. (and at least half of the union members stopped paying dues), And the Democrat flee-baggers that hid out of state rather than vote for the record on the legislation were going to take control of the statehouse in recall elections. And Judge Prosser was going to lose his seat and when he didn't his election was going to be ruled illegal.
Seems we've spent the last couple of years listening to the left sided BS that's been coming out of Wisconsin even as the voters have done the Right thing.
Romney will win Wisconsin.
The exit polling of the recall showed Obama was favored among that electorate. The exact numbers are up for legitimate dispute, although the end result of Obama being favored in a Walker +5 electorate is statistically very likely. And the latest Marquette law school poll shows Romney down by 8 pts I believe. This polling outfit was dead on for the recalls and there's no reason to think that they're not accurate now. Better luck in a different state.
Right on FastZ!! It is obvious to us that live in WI that the enthusiasm is HUGE for Romney and he will win WI!
