Obama, Springsteen wrap up Wisconsin campaign

MADISON, WI – Kicking off his last full day of campaigning here, President Barack Obama enlisted rocker Bruce Springsteen to motivate supporters who have already voted and those who will head to the polls Tuesday.

President Barack Obama and rocker Bruce Springsteen wave to a crowd of 18,000 people during a rally on the last day of campaigning in the general election November 5, 2012 in Madison, Wis.

Taking the stage just after Springsteen finished an acoustic set, the president touted the fact that Springsteen will be hitching a ride on the presidential aircraft from Madison to the next campaign stop in Columbus, Ohio.

“I get to fly around with him on the last day that I will ever campaign. So that's not a bad way to end things,” he told the crowd of 18,000 gathered in a square near the state capitol, which was festooned with a giant American flag.

President Obama speaks at a campaign event in Madison, Wis. Watch his entire speech.

But Obama also used the rock star’s appearance to drive home a serious message about one of his signature agenda items: allowing the lower Bush-era tax rates for the wealthiest Americans expire.

“If we’re serious about the deficit, we can’t just cut our way to prosperity,” Obama said. “We’ve also got to ask the wealthiest Americans to go back to the tax rates they paid when Bill Clinton was in office. And by the way, we can afford it. I haven’t talked to Bruce, but he can afford it. I can afford it. Mr. Romney, he can afford it.”

In 2008, Springsteen’s appearances on behalf of the president underscored Obama’s image as a transformational figure of inspiration. But even The Boss acknowledged during his performance that despite his four years in office, the environment in Washington had not changed.

“President Obama ran last time as a man of hope and change, and you hear a lot of talk about things are different,” Springsteen said.

“Things aren’t any different now. They’re just realer. It’s crunch time now,” he continued.

After the rally, the president and Springsteen boarded Air Force One together to head to Columbus for another joint appearance.

As the Boss said, after 30 years of extreme wealth disparity in the country, that threatens to split us in two: We are on a steady, if slow march towards a better America.

Springsteen said that President Obama "feels those days in his bones, and he will be there with us."

Feisty,

Romney Campaign also trained "poll watchers" in Wisconsin, with EIGHT training sessions over the last 8 weeks.

Training documents and instructions are all available, complete with numerous "misinformations" to trash our votes.

Another angle is to send folks to the wrong polls -- where they will be discounted if they are in the wrong precinct.

Also, can you imagine what kind of person is - Romney - who would buy vote-machines a month after he declared a run for presidency? And now imagine what kind of folks he thinks we are.

This HAS to be disappointing news for Obama supporters. Only can get 18,000 to a Bruce Springsteen supporting Obama concert? In 2004 Bruce did the same thing for John Kerry and got 70,000 people to come!!

Major disappointment with Obama is the reason and you guys just keep hoping to get the turnout you think you are going to get but not going to happen. Obama was the messiah in 2008 with no record and got only 53% of the vote. Now the economy is worse, more unemployed than when he took office, stagnant GDP of less than 2%, 40% more on Food Stamps, and 1 in 6 now in Poverty.

Sorry, all these polls leverage as much as 6-9% more Democrats to mimic 2008 but THAT is not going to happen. And even with THAT skewed of a poll Obama still can't get above 48% to 49% approval. Add Bruce Springsteen and he can only get 18,000 people? Romney got 30,000 people to an event in Ohio just a few nights ago. Some are projecting that 6-9% more Republicans will actually vote in this election so get ready for a landslide victory. Romney easily with over 300 electoral votes.

Criticize me if you want to. Call me crazy if you want to. Just make sure you have a tissue ready as the poll numbers come in.

Not according to my analysis, but I haven't run any serious numbers on the House races for about 2 weeks because running the House numbers is extremely time consuming and not many pollsters keep accurate up-to-date poll data on the House races.

    Updated as of 3:00pm EST on Monday, November 5, 2012:

    *** OBAMA, AT LONG LAST AND AS EXPECTED, PULLS AHEAD IN VIRGINIA WHILE WIDENING HIS LEAD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

    Additionally, Obama's leads strengthen over the weekend in Ohio and Iowa while softening in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan; Romney successfully expands his lead in Florida while losing slight ground in North
    Carolina.

    Curiously, polling in Colorado has been strangely absent over the past three days.

    Mischief alert: Quite a bit of suspect outlier polling favorable to Romney was floated out in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan on Sunday in the face of multiple polls which confirmed consistently strong Obama leads in each of these states (the Karl Rove axiom of 'shaping perceptions to alter outcomes,' perhaps?).

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

    With 9 hours to go in the 2012 presidential campaign, Real Clear Politics (RCP) reports that Obama leads in nine of their eleven toss-up states with Romney leading in two.

    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 3:00pm EST together with the most recent FiveThirtyEight election night probabilities of victory for either candidate:

    In WISCONSIN, with 10 electoral votes, Obama's lead fell Sunday to 4.2%, down from 5.0% on Saturday. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 94.5% chance of victory here, up by 1.2% from Friday and by an astounding 8.8% since Tuesday.

    In PENNSYLVANIA, with 20 electoral votes, Obama's lead fell Sunday to 3.9%, down from 4.1% on Saturday. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 97.9% chance of victory here, up by 1.8% from Friday and by a significant 3.8% since Tuesday.

    In MICHIGAN, with 16 electoral votes, Obama's lead fell Sunday to 3.8%, down from 4.0% on Saturday. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 98.7% chance of victory here, up 0.3% from Friday and by 0.6% since Tuesday.

    In IOWA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead rose late Sunday to 3.0%, up from 2.0% on Saturday morning. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 81.2% chance of victory here, down by 1.4% from Friday but up and by a substantial 7.3% since Tuesday.

    In OHIO, with 18 electoral votes, Obama's lead this afternoon has risen to 3.0%, up from 2.8% this morning. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 86.8% chance of victory here, up by 6.1% from Friday and by an astronomical 13.5% since Tuesday.

    In NEVADA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has been holding at 2.8%, up from 2.4% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 90.0% chance of victory here, up by 2.8% from Friday and by an astonishing 10.3% since Tuesday.

    In NEW HAMPSHIRE, with 4 electoral votes, Obama's lead this afternoon has settled at 1.7%, up from 1.5% over the weekend. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 80.2% chance of victory here, up by 1.5% from Friday and by an astounding 9.9% since Tuesday.

    In COLORADO, with 9 electoral votes, Obama's lead has been holding at 0.6%, down from 0.9% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 69.7% chance of victory here, up by 4.0% from Friday and by an astronomical 14.3% since Tuesday.

    In VIRGINIA, with 13 electoral votes, Obama early this morning emerged with his own lead of 0.3%, reversing a longstanding but narrowing Romney lead of 0.3% from Saturday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 72.6% chance of victory here, up by a substantial 7.8% from Friday.

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

    In FLORIDA, with 29 electoral votes, Romney's lead this morning has risen to 1.8%, up from 1.4% over the weekend. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney a 55.5% chance of victory here, up by 0.7% from Friday.

    In NORTH CAROLINA, with 15 electoral votes, Romney's lead fell this morning to 3.0%, down from 3.8% over the weekend. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney a 77.2% chance of victory here, down 2.2% from Friday.

    So...

    In order for Obama to win re-election the least complex route would be through maintaining his existing leads in the five toss-up states where his current margins are widest (Wisconsin at 4.2%, Pennsylvania at 3.9%, Michigan at 3.8%, Iowa at 3.0%, and Ohio at 3.0%. 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 Nevada, New Hampshire, Colorado, and Virginia.

    However, should Obama fail to hold the strategic prize of a hotly-contested 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 holds three of his remaining four toss-up states where his current leads are greatest, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Colorado resulting in 272 electoral votes.

    Path #2: Obama loses Ohio but wins Virginia while also taking only one state from among Nevada, New Hampshire, or Colorado resulting in 272, 270, or 275 electoral votes, respectively.

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

    For Romney to unseat Obama, he not only would have to hold the two states in which he presently leads, North Carolina and Florida, bringing his electoral vote total to 235, but also steal victories in one of the two following possible combinations from states currently leaning Obama, listed in descending order of likelihood based on the reversed engineering of current FiveThirtyEight numbers for election night chances of victory:

    Path A: Romney retakes Virginia and steals both Ohio and Colorado resulting in 275 electoral votes (least unlikely outcome).

    Path B: Romney retakes Virginia and steals both Ohio and New Hampshire resulting in 270 electoral votes (more unlikely outcome).

    Working against these two scenarios are rising averaged polling numbers over the past two days for Obama in Ohio and New Hampshire; however, in that same seventy-two hour period Romney succeeded in reducing Obama's lead in Colorado.

    In any event, should Romney retake Virginia but fail to steal Ohio he could overcome this shortfall by capturing the four other states in which Obama's current leads are smallest (Colorado at 0.6%, New Hampshire at 1.7%,
    Nevada at 2.8%, and Iowa at 3.0%) resulting in an electoral vote total of 273.

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

    FiveThirtyEight this morning estimates the chance of Election Day victory for each candidate as follows: Obama 86.3% (up significantly from Friday morning's 80.9%) and Romney 13.7% (down by a similar margin from Friday's 19.1%).

    FiveThirtyEight now also projects that on Election Day the final electoral tally will be as follows: Obama 307 (up 8 from Wednesday's 299) and Romney 231 (down 8 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 50.6% (up from Thursday's 50.4%) and Romney 48.5% (down from Thursday's 48.6%).

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

    A Few Election Day Predictions:

    Expect on Tuesday a plethora of polling place horror stories from across the nation, including fistfights and resulting arrests involving Tea Party-backed poll watchers from TRUE THE VOTE, et al in multiple urban precincts throughout many if not all of the eleven toss-up states.

    Expect craziness in Republican Governor Rick Scott's Florida…sheer lunacy, in fact. Perhaps the National Guard should be charged with running elections in Florida going forward.

    Expect unwillingness on the part of the Republican Secretary of State in Ohio, Jon Husted, to call the election in his state in a timely manner.

    Expect a mandatory recount in Colorado if the margin of victory falls below 1.0%, bearing in mind that the Republican Secretary of State in Colorado, Scott Gessler, is a doppelganger for Ohio's Jon Husted.

    Expect Paul Ryan to retain his congressional seat in Wisconsin as a majority of voters in his district cast ballots against him at the national level while voting in support of him at the local level…perhaps as a form of contrition.

    Expect FOXNEWS to be clamoring for congressional investigations into Democrat voter fraud, less real than imagined, even before the polls close.

    Expect Right Wing talk radio to begin fomenting, if not actually inciting, popular 'resistance' to the certification of the legitimate Electoral College outcome, and we all know what THAT is code for, while condemning the continued use of the Electoral College itself.

    In spite of these obstacles, Obama wins the White House with an electoral vote tally of 303 to Romney's 235, takingColorado and Virginia but failing to steal Florida which had already been stolen for Romney by Rick Scott.

    All legal challenges to the certification of the election in federal courts are summarily dismissed with prejudice and Barack Hussein Obama is sworn in for his second term as President of the United States on January 20, 2013.

    The very next day, and with no fanfare or publicity, the lights come on in Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign headquarters.

But, thanks for pointing out that Obama is still way under performing for registered voters, while Romney is overperforming for registered voters. Fewer likely voters will vote for Obama than registered. Vica versa for Romney. Obama's enthusiasm gap is alive and well.

    The good thing is we only have one more day of bickering back and forth. If Romney wins we can start an economic recovery that should have started four years ago. If Obama is elected then businesses and the "wealthy" will be convinced there is no hope left in America and start looking overseas for their investments and business opportunities.

    Keep in mind we have trillions of dollars being held by businesses and the wealthy "on the sidelines" simply because they don't know what is going to happen with this election. A Romney win convinces them the economy will recover and will start investing again before Romney is even sworn in. An Obama win and we will be in another deep recession my March of next year.

    It's up to you to decide. Me personally I am waiting to see who wins. If Romney wins I run my business for another 10 to 15 years. If Obama wins I liquidate, build my cabin on my property in Tennessee, and watch the rest of you scramble to find a job and find a way to pay for your house and food.

      interesting the three howards never appeared on film together as the three stooges. I know Shemp had mainly a solo career and was only a temp fill for Curly. what a shame though

      Never did care for Curly Joe or Besser(weak)

      Did not know that...

      I met the 3 Stooges (W/ "Curly" Joe Besser) when I was around 6 years old...at a VFW post in Brooklyn.

      Never cared much for the post Curly Stooges...

      or for that matter Iggy and the Stooges...

        Our President said that he would bring the nation together. That did not work.

        Our President said that he could work with the opposition party by reaching across the isle. That did not work.

        Our President said that his administration would be free from lobbyists. That did not work.

        Our President said that his administration would be the most transparent ever. That did not work.

        Our President said that he would fix the economy within three years. That did not work.

        Our President said that his health care bill would lower health care costs. That did not work.

        Our President said that he would not raise taxes on 95% of Americans in any way. That did not work.

        Our President said that his stimulus spending bill would solve our employment problem. That did not work.

        Our President said that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. That did not work.

        Our President has provided an economic "plan" for the next 4 years that is mathematically impossible. That cannot work.

        I see a pattern here. Our President said that if he could not fix the economy within three year that he did not deserve a second term.

        I see that Rubio and Florida have put in a new voting twist to ax votes and deny people the right to vote. They can compare signatures to the past votes, up to 30 years , and if they don't look the same they can be tossed. Now I refuse to sign and use an X as I've had Shingles.

        The polls are showing it and tomorrow will prove it. When you can't get the job done, you should be fired. I'm not sure Obama even understands that little bit of business, and apparently neither do any of you.

          Romney has lost 4 points in Gallup's poll in the last week. Losing 4 point's in the final week is the biggest momentum swing against a candidate in recent memory.

          Clearly Romney messed up bad in the 3rd debate when he again refused to support Veterans.

          Give Bloomberg credit for his faint praise of Obama. His endorsement was as weak as dishwater.

          “Rather than uniting the country around a message of shared sacrifice,” Mr. Bloomberg said of Mr. Obama, “he engaged in partisan attacks and has embraced a divisive populist agenda focused more on redistributing income than creating it.”

          I'm still not sure Bloomberg endorsed Obama.

              The latest faux outrage?

              Apparently Conservatives want you to believe that NBC's Savannah Guthrie called Hurricane Sandy "A Gift From God To Obama". Needless to say, she said no such thing. Here's the actual quote.

              "And here was a moment, handed to him seemingly from above, where he could look like that strong independent steady in a storm very appealing to the middle of the road voters."

              To the Conservatives on this blog, I have a question...don't you get tired of just making s*** up?

              I heard there was a big crowd and knew Obama had to get someone to get people to his rally since he can't do it on his own anymore. Rumor has it that he promised Springsteen an Ambassadorship in Benghazi that is open because of a little bump in the road as a favor. Springsteen took it up because he knows Obama is toast and this was his best chance to ride in AF 1

                  I was there today and it was a joke. I needed a good laugh so I wasted my time going but, I figured I might as well see OBOZO for the very last time as president. Glad he left Wisconsin. He did forget my free cell phone though. What a loser!

                  Ah, the fascination of the left with celebrity.

                  Always going for the glitter over substance.

                  Such small minded children so proud to self identify with celebrity. Hey. I vote the same as Bruce Springsteen. I must really be cool and progressive.

                  Free your minds and think.

                  You are funny Bill. Romney is like the anti-culture. But you stick with the lying rich condescending Mormon, he really cares about people. Really.

                    “Things aren’t any different now. They’re just realer. It’s crunch time now,” he continued.

                    Things may not be any different for some rich jerk like Springsteen who jets around and rides in limos while his type lectures everyone else, but there's a lot of people that have lost thier jobs and everything they have owned the last four years and B. O. has done little to nothing to help all of those people. In fact, his policies have made any thought of a recovery a near impossibility. This country will go nowhere besides further in debt if Obama stays in office.

                    NICKY, guess you were asleep for the 8 long miserable years of Dubya while he spent us into ruin with his 2 UNFUNDED WARS as well as an unfunded drug program and grossly irresponsible tax cuts.

                    Allow me to refresh your memory. Clinton gave Bush a balanced budget, a surplus, a nation at peace and a health economy. 8 years later what did Dubya give Obama? A nation bogged down in two unending, unfunded wars and a nation teetering on the virge of complete ruin. Massive bank failures, Stock Market Crashing, our domestic auto industry on the virge of extinction, a housing market which had completely collapsed and consumer confidence at an all time low. Nice work George W., you sure know how to run an economy. But hey, just blame it on Obama and perhaps you'll feel a little better.

                    Hey Ozzy,

                    Maybe if you could do math you'd realize that we have accumulated more debt under Obama's four short years than it took to accumulate the same amount from George Washington through Bill Clinton. You wouldn't want to actually consider the FACTS about REAL numbers, though, would you.

                    And just so that you will shut your trap about the wars, Democrats in Congress authorized BOTH wars so you've really got nothing to stand on in that regard.

                    Clinton gave Bush a weakened military and a world that appeared, on the surface, to be at peace. 9/11 would have never occurred had Clinton took terrorism seriously (ironically, the same problem that our current president has when he refuses to call something what it is). They prefer terms like, man caused disasters and workplace violence. What a pathetic loser he is. Anyone that calls him a commander in chief is full of @!$%#. Bush had to spend to make up for the absolute negligence of national security perpetuated by that dip@!$%# Clinton.

                    Let me also ask you this numbnuts....do you think the banks would have been able to create a market for credit default swaps and subprime mortgages if it wasn't for morons like Maxine Waters, Barney Frank, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter pushing the community reinvestment act as well as blocking any type of oversight for Freddie Mac an Fannie Mae. So, the bank catastrophe has nothing to do with anyone other than your democratic criminals that you think have all the answers. Get a clue you mindless dolt.

                    What I find amusing is that those on the left still refuse to believe Obama bears ANY responsibility for this dismal state of the country. We are worse off now than when Bush was in office. Sorry, but Obama isn't and never will be a good president regardless of the utopian Messiah that appears in your dreams.

                    So Clinton gave draft dodging Dubya a "weakened" military??? What's the matter, we didn't have enough carrier task forces, nuclear subs, ballistic missles, etc? You know, the Repubolican response to 16 maniacs with box cutters was to invade a nation which had nothing to do with 9/11. Yes, Democrats voted for the war after being fed a steady stream of lies cooked up by Dubya and his draft dodging buddy, Cheney. Funny, cause Willard is yet another in a long line of DRAFT DODGERS in the GOP who love to talk tough and send other people's children to their deaths in needless wars.

                    Don't hand me your jingoistic crap about the military pal. There are far more Democrats serving in Congress who has served this nation in the military with valor and distinction than there are Republicans. And that includes Medal of Honor recipients unlike your crowd of world class CHICKEN HAWKS, who just love to strut around, rattling their sabres when neither they nor any of their children have or ever will serve. Anytime you'd like to make a comparison list, you just let me know buddy.

                    I live in Wisconsin, Madison in Dane County is the state capital it is overwhelmingly democratic more so than any other county in the state with the exception of Milwaukee county.

                    This is Obama's base, these are his die hard followers who would not vote for a Republican if the their lives depended on it

                    Madison is so liberal, their public schools place students in the vans that participate in the grab and drag voter registration and get out the vote shuttles and call it a field trip!

                    Now I ask why the hell is Obama spending time there 20 hours before the polls open there?

                    Answer: He doesn't have the VOTES there that he needs!

                    The Same in Milwaukee where he joined Katie Perry for a concert on Saturday. The local news was doing random interviews with the large crowd waiting to get into the arena and they were admitting that their children had begged them to take them to see Katie Perry how embarrassing is that!

                    close to 200 papers who had indorsed Obama in 2008 have FLIPPED TO MITT

                    Gallup has released their final national poll today that puts Romney ahead by 1

                    Rassmussen has released their latest poll on which parties Americans identify themselves with.

                    Republicans 39.3% Democrats 33%

                    Michigan, and Pennsylvania are tied and Minnesota has Romney ahead by 1

                    Momentum is with Romney... He is expanding his campaign with stops in states he has not visited while Obama is desperately trying to shore up the base just 20 hours out

                    1MORE DAY!

Better call your results into Faux Nuze/ aka The Hooters Network so they can get the jump on this ground breaking news. Who needs pollsters and reall political experts when we've got Kandi Boy???

                    Just telling you the writing is on the wall Obama had 16,000 according to Madison police reported on local news, Romney has been packing venues with 30 to 40 thousand people all weekend long

                    early voting ended in Wisconsin on Friday this morning counties released their data info. The Most Republican county had 40,000 more votes cast than did the most democratic county
