COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ten thousand cheering supporters offered an emotional send-off for Mitt and Ann Romney on Monday night, as the Republican nominee held his final Buckeye state rally in an enormous airport hangar here.
"This is amazing," Romney could be seen saying to his wife as the couple took the stage. Ann Romney, ever her husband's more emotive half, was visibly affected by the crowd's welcome.
"I am just so moved," Ann Romney said. "It’s so emotional to be here and have this kind of reception from Ohio, a state that is going to make the next president of the United States."
Ohio may do just that on Tuesday, with campaign advisers and analysts from both parties predicting that as goes Ohio, so goes the White House. Most public polls show Romney trailing the president here by several points.
Both candidates campaigned here Monday, and Romney will return Tuesday to visit a campaign office in Cleveland to inspire volunteers and staff and to promote the Republican get-out-the-vote effort.
"You know, what makes this rally and all your work so inspiring is that you are here because you care about America. This campaign is about America and the future we are going to leave to our children," Romney said. "We thank you, and we ask you to stay at it all the way until victory on Tuesday night is clear!”


Only because the minions know MYTH is losing. Oh, the desperation.
Has Queen Anne seen the polls lately? Obama is ahead. There are no more lies to tell.
Buh Bye

Ohio has you covered Mitt!
NEXT BIG HEADLINE...ROMNEY WINS!!!...
JUST A FEW SHORT HOURS AWAY FROM THE PRESIDENCY!!!
OMG, those two really make me want to vomit! Please! Let the agony be over! I don't want to have to hear another word out of Mitt the Twit and Queen Ann!
Clearly "You people" don't appreciate their royalness... /snark
Pack your bags Obama!!!!
Obama had 18,000 in Wisconsin today! Almost double Romney's numbers. Ticked! Don't count your chickens before they hatch! It will be close we all know that, but the Electoral College will decide and right now that doesn't look so close! It could be the first time that the candidate for President and his VP don't carry their home states! I would love to see that kind of history being made tomorrow!
The Republicans are already trying to steal this election.
VOTE! And then follow up to make sure it's counted.

Psst. they were there for the entertainers, not Obama. A concert costs $75 bucks, thus it was a freebie.
Romney/Ryan for a United States of America
Mitty, I am sure it is very emotional like seeing your dog run over by a car. That is the last time Romney will speak to Ohio except maybe to cash in closing a plant next year. Early voting in Ohio was packed with Obama bumper stickers, goodbye and see you only on SNL reruns............
Romney, is the heart beat of a nation for tomorrow! OHIO, we need you!

Oh yeah, I forget, you don't know the difference between a Marist Poll and a Marxist Poll/
You got a lot of nerve quoting any polls.......
~~~~~~~~~UPDATE: OHIO~~~~~~~~

>>>In Ohio, Polls Show Benefit of Auto Rescue to Obama<<<<
.
Mr. Obama is an 85 percent favorite to carry Ohio, according to the current FiveThirtyEight forecast. Not coincidentally, that almost exactly matches his odds of winning re-election, according to the model.
http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/05/in-ohio-polls-show-benefit-of-auto-rescue-to-obama/
Hopefully, for the well being of America Obama wins. His policies are superior and show he cares about the American people, the country.
We cannot take Romney/Ryan's failed, bad policies of privatizing Medicare so most future seniors will not be able to pay for healthcare, massive food stamp and Medicaid cuts to hurt the poor, big military spending increases with no tax increases for the Americans who can afford it most to pay for it or the recent repub wars, cutting back or ending FEMA, etc. These policies will leave America more broke, and most of its citizens much worse off.
It doesn't what or how Obama or Romney stand with any group, women, men, youth or independents as it is the final vote that counts and the Electoral College. It will be close, but as of now it looks good for Obama. Betting in Vegas is strong for Obama, but the Swing States are leaning Obama even at this late date!
Whit Collar, Auto,
Obama, isn't trailing by 28% in his home state or in the nation. Oh, I buy Jap cars as well!
Updated as of 9:45pm EST on Monday, November 5, 2012 (TWO HOURS TO GO!):
*** FiveThirtyEight TONIGHT FLIPS FLORIDA TO OBAMA!
OBAMA'S LEAD IN MICHIGAN AND COLORADO GROWS AS MARGIN IN OHIO SOLIDIFIES; SMALLER LEADS GROW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND VIRGINIA AS IOWA SEES SHARP DECLINE.
Additionally, Obama's lead strengthened over the past three days in Nevada but softened in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania; Romney's lead in Florida rose today only to fall again, settling just above Sunday's RCP averaged polling percentage. Romney also lost ground in North Carolina.
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 2 hours to go in the traditional 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 9:45pm 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 96.9% chance of victory here, up by an astounding 11.2% since Tuesday.
In MICHIGAN, with 16 electoral votes, Obama's lead has returned to 4.0%, up from Sunday's 3.8%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 99.2% chance of victory here, up 0.8% from Friday.
In PENNSYLVANIA, with 20 electoral votes, Obama's lead fell late Monday afternoon to 3.8%, down from 3.9% over the weekend. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 98.7% chance of victory here, up by a significant 4.6% since Tuesday.
In OHIO, with 18 electoral votes, Obama's lead settled late this afternoon at 2.9%, up from 2.8% this morning. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 91.2% chance of victory here, up by an astronomical 17.9% 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 a 93.8% chance of victory here, up by 2.8% from Friday and by an astonishing 14.1% since Tuesday.
In IOWA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead fell this afternoon to 2.4%, down sharply from 3.0% on Monday morning. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 85.0% chance of victory here, up by an astounding 11.1% since Tuesday.
In NEW HAMPSHIRE, with 4 electoral votes, Obama's lead this afternoon has settled at 2.0%, up from 1.5% over the weekend. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 84.9% chance of victory here, up by a substantial 6.2% from Friday.
In COLORADO, with 9 electoral votes, Obama's lead rose late this afternoon to 1.5%, up from 0.6% over the weekend. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 80.3% chance of victory here, up by an astonishing 13.6% from Friday.
In VIRGINIA, with 13 electoral votes, Obama this morning emerged with a lead of 0.3%, reversing a longstanding but narrowing Romney lead of 0.3% from Sunday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 80.3% chance of victory here, up by an astronomical 15.5% from Friday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In FLORIDA, with 29 electoral votes, Romney's lead settled late this afternoon at 1.5%, up from 1.4% over the weekend. Interestingly, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama (and NOT Romney) a 52.5% chance of victory here, a significant turnaround of 3.2% from Friday.
Note: Romney's lead in Florida may be more fragile than 1.5% as RCP has chosen to include in their averaged polling two recent outlier findings of 6.0% and 5.0% in Romney's favor conducted by newspapers from conservative Tampa Bay and heavily Cuban Miami. As a consequence, the possibility remains that Romney's true lead here is less than 1.0% and may in fact be closer to that of dead heat.
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 72.4% chance of victory here, down an astonishing 9.0% 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%, Michigan at 4.0%, Pennsylvania at 3.8%, Ohio at 2.9%, and Nevada at 2.8%. 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, Iowa, 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 Iowa, 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, however, are climbing averaged poll numbers for Obama over the past two days in all three of these states.
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 1.5%, New Hampshire at 2.0%, Iowa at 2.4%, and Nevada at 2.8%) resulting in an electoral vote total of 273.
--------------------------------------------------------
FiveThirtyEight this morning estimates the chance of Election Day victory for each candidate as follows: Obama 91.4% (up significantly from Friday morning's 80.9%) and Romney 8.6% (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 314 (up 16 from Wednesday's 299) and Romney 224 (down 16 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 50.9% (up from Thursday's 50.4%) and Romney 48.5% (down from Thursday's 48.2%).
-------------------------------------------------------
A Few Election Day Predictions:
Expect on Tuesday a plethora of polling place horror stories from across the nation, including sporadic physical confrontations 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, if not sheer lunacy, in Republican Governor Rick Scott's Florida. Going forward, perhaps the National Guard should be charged with running elections here as state officials are clearly failing in their responsibilities.
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, taking Colorado and Virginia but failing to steal Florida, which in truth had already been stolen on behalf of Romney by Governor Rick Scott.
All legal challenges to the certification of the election that are filed in federal courts are summarily dismissed with prejudice and Barack Hussein Obama is sworn in on January 20, 2013 for his second term as President of the United States.
The very next day, and with no fanfare or publicity, the lights come on in Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential Campaign Headquarters.
Romney is a dangerous option. Romney is a face man for the Republicans because their field of candidates was such a joke. He has jeopardized his integrity here and abroad in a short amount of time.
Please do not vote on the past. Please Vote on the future.
Bye Bye
VoMitt !!!

Bye Bye Romney from O-H-I-O don;t let the door hit you on the way out
Obama 2012
wow! ... many on this blog are going to be in therapy Wednesday morning with the news of Romney as the new 45th President.
Father Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do Luke 23:34.
Ryan and Romney say they believe in Hope and they believe in change.
We have seen these wolves in sheep's clothing before.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SUZGkNAUSvY
Let me warn you and let me warn the nation against the smooth evasion that says
“Of course we believe these things.
We believe in Social Security.
We believe in work for the unemployed.
We believe in saving homes.
Cross our hearts and hope to die, we believe in all these things.
But we do not like the way the present administration is doing them.
Just turn them over to us.
We will do all of them.
We will do more of them.
We will do them better.
And most important of all, the doing of them will not cost anybody anything.”
Vote Obama/Biden 2012!
Get Up!, Get Out! and Vote!
Bye Bye Romney
I just saw X-GOP candidate Fred Thompson on TV trying to do a "reverse mortgage" scam.
Time to send Mitt off to sales-land and maybe have Ryan do p90x commercials!
ROMNEY/BUSH Never/Never Again
This just makes me laugh because it must be hard to fabricate lies about someone who is as bland and boring as Romney is. He is many things but dangerous isn't one of them.
Here's what will happen if Romney wins tomorrow:
The stock market will go up about 200 points on Wednesday and will finally stop the roller coaster.
Your 401K starts to be worth something again
Businesses will start hiring again
Housing starts will rise
Electricians, plumbers and other trades members will get off the bench after two years and start building things again
More people will go back to work so fewer people will need assistance from the government
Gas prices start to fall
Food prices start to fall
Chris Mathews will look like that monkey that came out of the teleporter in the remake of The Fly
We start to get to the bottom of Benghazi
The people in NY, NJ get some much needed help
The media starts to do its job again
Hey Nevada - CAAP's website can say anything it wants.
Even if it's a lie.
Want the truth? Or are you playing "hear no evil" until after the election?
BO
Romney is leading in the I-4 Corridor. That corridor is where Florida is won or lost. Not only that, but in Absentee ballots returned Republicans had a 75,000 ballot advantage. The remaining 60,000 vote advantage is not enough to cover for the anticipated republican difference on election Day.

If you look at the polls that were run showing Obama in this, they cut down the percentage from this stretch and oversampled democrats.
Redhead Ranting
Already Happening under Obama!
Thanks for Playing....
ROMNEY/BUSH Never/Never Again
Redhead Ranting - fantasizing much?
Next you'll be saying that the world will be covered with unicorns and rainbows.
But we all know they're Democrats.
Sorry honey - see you tomorrow night. I'll bring a handkerchief.
Tomorrow, right wingers heads start exploding!
Don't get any of that toxic, fear, hate, and lies filled grey matter on ya.
Kim hardly. The media isn't doing it's job, No one has been held responsible for the 4 deaths in Benghazi and Chris Mathews is still rightside in. Oh, and the people on the East Coast are no where near getting the help they need. Everything else is just a trickle.
"Ten thousand cheering supporters offered an emotional send-off for Mitt and Ann Romney on Monday night,"
Translation:
"Ten thousand uninformed either by shear stupidity or by stubborn and deliberately blind, ignorantly cheering partisan serf supporters offered an emotional send-off for Mitt and Ann Romney on Monday night."
And just to clarify, I don't support everything that O'bama has done, especially since everything he has at least tried to do has been blocked by the treasonous republican economic terrorist house "representatives", but anyone who votes for this anti-American POS Reich-wing puppet is contributing to the further demise of the United States of America... period.
How many got their boot dirty?
Redhead Ranting
Don't worry Osama is dead the A$$holes in Benghazi will get theirs too, then maybe we can hunt down all the people who attacked Embassy's under Bushes watch. Have you ever dealt with a logistic nightmare like Sandy's aftermath? We have All Kinds of Americans on the ground trying to help, Red Cross, many volunteers and our Armed Forces! So why don't YOU go up to a Service-person and tell them YOU ain't happy they need to get helping more!
ROMNEY/BUSH Never/Never Again
That long good buy was Ohio saying sorry Mitt but we just can't sell you here in Ohio. These people In Ohio are to smart to believe the lies we have been telling them about you. So good buy and good luck Mitten, Hell your own states wont vote for you so why would Ohio vote for you. Its over and Ticked, and Elliot and the Red head girl all know it. Ticked take it easy man your going to have a heart failure, Mitt isn't worth it man. You know Ohio isn't going to Romney. Your governor might try to rig the count but it will all come out in the end for Obama.
No kidding, whipsplash ... right wingers have corner the market on 'toxic, fear, hate, and lies'? Perish the thought! the Left NEVER indulges in such hate and vulgarities! - pop culture so dominated by the Left is clean as a whistle!
Redhead Ranting ... you are so right, and what a joke dismissing Romney as some sort of industry heavy, off-shoring jobs, and Obama a saintly protector of the little guy. Obama is the proud inheritor of Bill Clinton's economic policies on deregulation of toxic securities and massive off-shoring of American jobs. BILL CLINTON was the MOST FINANCIALLY DESTRUCTIVE PRESIDENT IN U.S. HISTORY, and OBAMA is the proud inheritor of his policies:
A) HE, Bill Clinton, and no one else, with the assist of his Goldman Sachs and Wall Street buddies - Robert Rubin, Lawrence Sommers, Timothy Geithner, et. al., and Alan Greenspan (Fed) (and some of these people where brought back by OBAMA to his administration!) - repealed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 which kept Commercial Banking, Investment Banking, and Insurance separate; and with this repeal led to the meltdown of TRILLIONS of dollars of speculative non-oversight investments by banks and financial institutions. (Please spare us the argument that Republicans participated in this repeal. The bill was initiated with Clinton’s team of ‘economic geniuses’, and in the end the buck stops at the President’s
desk.)
B) HE, no one else, and despite warnings from many councils of economists, industry groups and labor unions truly opened the flood gates on free trade towards LABOR-SINKHOLES economies such as China with NO labor- and product-return to capital, value-added safeguards to protect key industries and sectors in the U.S., as other countries do, such as even the Europeans when drafting similar treaties. In the process HE is the one who set the stage for true syphoning out the manufacturing/industrial base of our country!
C) HE, along with the usual suspects above (and again the same people brought back by OBAMA to work for him) purposely undermined his own chief regulator on market derivatives, Brooksley E. Born, Chief of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, by preventing her, through their insistence, in taking action on regulating the emerging subprime derivatives market which she rightfully predicted will lead to a major
world disaster. (Does anyone remember the crash of '08?). Such lack of regulation led to a market of 800 to 900 Trillion (with a T) of mostly toxic derivatives. (How much did Bush's hare-brain adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan cost? ... 1, 2 Trillion?).
CLINTON IS BY FAR THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE FINANCIAL PRESIDENT in history and OBAMA took most of these people in! Romney was no wheres on the radar screen in any of the above.
So here are all these people carping on about Romney outsourcing jobs and here is Clinton outsourcing millions of jobs, with Obama following through with the same architects of the same policies in his administration. Brilliant. And he is still proud of Clinton. Who is the main outsourcer now?
GRAMM(R)LEACH(R)BLILEY(R), that is three REPUBLICANS sponsored bill Jose, passed the Senate 92-8. the repeal of Glass Steagle could not be successfully vetoed by Bill Clinton.
Read your history! The enthusiastic support from the White House was overwhelming!!
Redhead Ranting has it correct.
It was Mr. President Obama's fault for not getting those people out.
After the Superstorm Sandy, Mr. President Obama got his photos taken in the disaster zones as well as photos taken with Governor Chris Christie, and left.
There are still thousands and thousands of people trying to get fuel, food, basic necessities, medicines, etc., over a week after the storm.
At least Romney took food to the location he went and passed them out.
Romney/Ryan 2012
Jose V. it's time to take your meds. Get a grip on reality!
Numb3rTech
Romney bought 5 grand of food, his minions handed it to people coming to his "Relief Rally" Then... Willard took the food as a donation Foto Op! Just like Lyin's clean pan washing.
ROMNEY/BUSH Never/NeverAgain
The cult leader and his magic underwear will be gone tomorrow. Yeah.
Romney should have been given a farewell long time ago.
Ann's statement is a bit difficult to believe.
People who strap the family's pet to the roof of a moving vehicle are not easily emotionally moved.
After the 2012 presidential race, hopefully we will have seen the last of of Romney and Ryan.
Hopefully, we will have heard the last of their avalanche of lies.
Democrats, Independents, disaffected Republicans, do not count your chickens before they hatch!
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE FOR OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!
Let's help Romney make a short concession speech.
Numb3rTech,
President Obama was at the actual scene of the Hurricane, feet on the ground.
Therefore, why would you believe that it is strange that he was photographed at the scene of the disaster?
Your above statement is one of the BEST reasons NOT TO VOTE for Romney and Ryan.
Romney and Ryan will scale back FEMA. They will eliminate this agency's ability to be effective.
Romney's passing out sandwiches was a stunt.
Mitt hopes to hoodwink people into thinking that he cares about the average American.
The politically aware know that Mitt's concern is only for the 1%.
Romney/Ryan 2012
Vote every republican out of every office every chance you get. Vote!

5. "Supreme Court Supreme Court Supreme Court."
6. "Arithmetic. Mitt Romney's tax cuts do not add-up"

States as a place where we are all in this together."
12. "He has a real plan for rescuing the economy that passes the 'math' test."
13. "Having someone in office who understands how powerful our voice can be is very
important."
14. "I am voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden because I can trust them to care for
the middle class and restore the American dream."
15. "The first measure he signed into law after becoming president was the Lilly
Ledbetter Fair Pay Act -- so a female high school counselor or physical education

17. "We need four more years of repair, of helping the middle class achieve a
sustainable economy."

millions of Latino seniors rely on them."
23. "Thanks to the President's efforts to keep student loan rates low, I can expect to
save nearly $1000 as I work to repay my student loans. And I don't have too many of
those, thanks to the Federal Pell Grant program."
24. "It's been wonderful to have President Obama as a champion for access to health
care for all women in this country."
25. "Re-electing Barack Obama would lead to a stronger economic recovery than would be
the case were Mitt Romney to win on November 6th."
I see your reason for supporting Obama is because of your pre-existing condition of diarrhea of the mouth, also known as verbal vomit.

Hey, ticked, kind of proud of you! You finally took our advice and at least have shortened up your copy and paste efforts.
Dipsticked off in Ohio: Even if Obama were to somehow lose Ohio, he can still win re-election. Secondly, even if he is declared the loser of the election, he won't leave office until 2013, at the earliest. And i would guess that if he isn't declared the winner by Wednesday morning, the legal challenges to what Husted has done in Ohio, and Scott has done in Florida will be resolved in Obama's favor. if that doesn't work, look out here comes Martial Law declarations and election results nullification.

ROMNEY FTW!!!!
Jan Psaki said Team Obama finds it “no surprise” that GOP challenger Mitt Romney is considering a trip to Ohio on Election Day.
“Without that state, it’s a rocky road for them to victory, an insurmountable road, in our view,” she said, noting that she believes Ohio will go for Obama. “We’re confident of victory there tomorrow.

This guy is running around denying the degree of the democrat no-shows in Ohio. The only reason he was on the mark in 2008 was the Obama administration was forwarding him their polls.

Clever.
Romney knows he is going to loose. He has to keep up the fight so the rich people will keep giving him money to pay off his Debt. Last I heard he is about $20 million in debt. He can't balance his own budget but said he will balance the Country's budget in 10 years by giving tax breaks to the rich and increasing Military spending so his rich friends can get richer off the tax payers witch is the working people, because we all know rich people don't pay taxes. Mitt has showed us that much. Well the good thing is Mitten can start running for 2016 on Wed.

Uninstalling Obama......... ███████████████▒ 99% complete.
...South Florida Independent for Romney...
I live in Longport, NJ which is on a barrier island between Sea Isle (where Sandy made landfall) and Atlantic City. My basement flooded with 7 feet of water. I lost electricity, heater, hot water, freezer and washer/dryer. I have a backup generator which supplied power to the refrigerator, sump pump, a couple of lights and a radio. My only connection to the outside world was the radio and my cell phone which only worked about 10% of the time. The first responders, government agencies and non-government organization were fantastic. Every one of my elected officials the Republican Mayor and Councilmen, the Democrat county Freeholders and Sheriff, the Republican Governor and the Democrat President all did a great job and worked together seamlessly. Their party didn't matter; their only concern was the people. In the past week my community has gone from complete devastation to business as usual. Yes, there is still a lot of work to be done but the worst of it is over. The government helped the people not with a hand out but a hand up. It really made me proud to be an American.
On the radio last week I heard that Rush Limbaugh and Fox News criticized Governor Christie for complimenting President Obama on the job he had done. How dare they. They are so intent on destroying Obama that they would jeopardize the life and well-being of my family, friends and neighbors just to see Obama fail. After this past week, it is so clear how much this country can achieve when we work together. On the night before Election Day I still don't know who is going to win. Wether it's Obama or Romney can we please turn off the Rush Limbaughs and Fox News that always put party before country. Can we silence the divisive Tea Party whose motto seems to be "my way or the highway". This great country can accomplish anything if we work together. This past week is proof of it.
Wow, Jersey, just wow. I haven't really had a first hand account from someone that experienced all that you experienced. I am thankful that you and many others are beginning to move forward. I agree with you that the tea party has done much to change this country, and not in a good way. The extreme efforts from a person like Rush Limbaugh is really appalling, to say the least.
I wish you and your community nothing but health and well being. The hearts of all Alaskans are with you.
Thanks Alaska Girl
Glad to hear you are doing all right in spite of the terrible situation. America's volatile weather with severe droughts, blizzards, tornadoes, hurricanes, not to mention earthquakes, are all reasons why at times the government truly needs to help its citizens when they are struck by a terrible natural disaster that does so much damage. It is so great the true American spirit prevails during times like this and for the most part we can work together and help each other like real Americans.
Jersey Michael sending you best wishes for a full recovery from this terrible disaster. Blessings to your family and community.
Very well said. I could not have said, or even, thought of a better comment. Right on target.
CatC - I agree that government help was needed, roads needed to be cleared, bridges and seawalsl repaired, etc. But the true spirit came from the people. Total strangers helping each other out. I can't tell you how many people asked if we were alright, if we needed anything? A week before the election and no one was talking politics. It really gave me a new perspective on what America is and is about.
Patricia thank you.
Nevada, we may be cold (especially the shower I took this morning) but we are not hungry. Between FEMA and the Red Cross there are plenty of places to get hot food. And Obama was in touch with Christie while campaigning, I read he gave Springsteen the phone. For those that don't know, my Governor is a huge Boss fan.
Appreciate your posts, "Jersey Michael" - I grew up in Bergen Co - May God Bless you & your neighbors - wishing you a speedy recovering from the terrible disaster you are going through!
Hoping that after this election, more Americans will do things the way you have described - it's time, for sure :-)
Nevada. You fool, did Romney stop campaigning? No he didn't. The people in the middle of this mess all know that the President was there for them, They know he has to get out there and beat Romney for there sake's and ours. Romney wanted to scrap FEMA, I guess he thinks the privet sector can do better. I think if the people that are going through it, don't have a problem with the President going back to the campaign, then you shouldn't have a problem with it. Your starting to sound like Elliot & Ticked off.
Jersey, well said! Amen to that.
Sorry for all your troubles with the storm. Praying for all who have been impacted.
Jersey Michael, so glad to hear you're pulling through and to read your account of the good people who put politics aside to work together for the good of the people.
And you're right. We have to, as a country, unite against the crackpot extremists like the Tea Party, and the misinformation of Fox "News" that are the bigger threats to our democracy than anything I can think of.
Sending hope and prayers to all the people affected by this horrific storm.
Thank you all for your good wishes. Even Nevada turned around :) I hnow people across this country have been praying for us and I appreciate it. Sandy was supposed to hit us at high tide. The storm traveled for thousands of miles at 15 mph but for some reason when it dog-legged for our coast, contrary to the computer models it doubled it's speed and hit us 2 hours early. Yes we were still hit hard by Sandy but if she had hit at high tide, it would have been much, much worse. This is a free country and you can believe what you want. I believe it was Divine intervention.
Who were those people in Ohio sending Myth & Anne off?
REPUB plants that's who! Myth's whole campaign from start to finish has been STAGED! Nothing real there.

I'm willing to bet they are ignorant, low information, voters like these people.
Watch it.
Ohio Romney Rally - Interviews with Supporters
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY0M7IdNl7U&feature=relmfu
They are so ignorant. It would be laughable if they weren't so pathetic. They think Buddhists, one of the most peaceful religious sects on the plant will take over the world; the President has drones flying over their heads; the usual Kenyan, Muslim, atheist, Marxist,and some are just plain clueless.
"These are not the droids you're looking for....", eh?
Ann "I'm worried about Mitt's mental stability" and Mitt "there is no lie too big for me" Romney bid Ohio an emotional farewell as they hed off to the ash heap of history.
I have an emotional response for Romney leaving Ohio, too.:
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, you lyin' sack of crap, Romney.
Let's see......I can have the Obama economic plan like that of Bill Clinton ("grown from the middle class"), OR,
I can have the Romney/Bush "trickle down their leg" plan.
Decisions, decisions.......hmmmm. I hate being so undecided when things seem simple.
Under Clinton....JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, RECORD SURPLUS, EVERYBODY PROSPERS. Life was pretty good, but...
Under the "W" Bush administration....2 wars, massive job loss, wall st. runs amuk, huge debt, all while the ULTRA RICH PROSPER on the backs of the middle class. Nothing to brag about, but.......
hmmmmmm, i can't vote for the economic policies of Obama/Clinton even though they seem to help the 'little guy'. You see, Obama is a Muslim, a Kenyan, un-american, not like us, and he's "black". He hasn't fixed (fast enough) the worst economic DISASTER since the great depression.
Yeah, "W" Bush left behind a little mess....but, you've got to expect tough times over his 8 year term. That's a long time!!! At least he didn't promise us a 'rose garden' like Obama.
Furthermore, I hate Clinton. He got a BJ, cheated on his wife, and then lied about it. That's immoral!!! Yeah, i've cheated on my wife too but, unlike clinton, at least i didn't do it in the White House. That scum bag!!! Besides.....I've gone to Church since my lies and affairs just like a good Republican. I've been cleansed and hate sinners.
I think this Romoney guy can be trusted after the election. No doubt, he is the worlds biggest flip-flopper...and YES, Flip-Floppers generally make TERRIBLE LEADERS, but at least he was HONEST when he said he was the candidate of "real change". He's PROVEN himself in that regard. Being a good Christian (now), I can overlook credibility issues and inconsistency because change is good!!!
I want to be a millionaire and voting for the guy "libturds" (I just learned that word) call Romnesia is my best chance of being wealthy. He promised he didn't mean any harm toward the 47% of LOSERS and will look out for EVERYBODY. I'll take my chances with a Mormon over the guy who helped kill our men in Labia.
Speaking of women, my wife says Romoney has really nice hair and thinks I should vote for him.....so, off I go to the polls tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll decide by then!!!
VoMitt RobUs is an ECONOMIC TRAITOR!
George Romney released 12 yearsworth of tax returns to the American people when he ran for president. Since then, presidential candidates -- Republicans and Democrats -- have followed his lead and released multiple tax records for public scrutiny.
All presidential candidates, except one.
Mitt Romney has only released one year of records after persistent pressure. It raises the question: What does Mitt Romney have to hide?
Romney has some explaining to do: Romney admits he has huge amounts of money in offshore bank
accounts -- but won't say how much money, how many accounts, or where they all are
Vanity Fair reports that Romney set up shell companies in Bermuda and tax shields in the Cayman Islands and Swiss Bank accounts
Romney's campaign said it was "unseemly and disgusting" for people to scrutinize his tax returns and business holdings
Unseemly? Disgusting? It's the same thing every presidential candidate has done since 1968. Everyone except Mitt Romney. So, we have to ask:
What's he hiding?
VoMitt Robus may HAVE COMMITTED FELONIES by LYING ON HIS TAX RETURNS
AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE
I don’t want an economic traitor for President.
And I know working families don’t want a President who profits from outsourcing American jobs to China. But it's happening right now. Workers at Sensata—owned by Bain Capital where Mitt Romney made his millions—in Freeport, IL are protesting outside their plant to stop their jobs from being offshored.
Mitt Romney’s buddies at Bain Capital have refused to save their jobs from being shipped overseas—and they even took down the American flag while forcing the Sensata workers to train their Chinese replacements.
Once VoMitt LOSES There should be a criminal investigation into this man's dealings

Hell Bill got more done while getting some nookie on the side then any President before him. And no but the Rep's that were doing the same and most of the time much worst thing the Clinton was doing and then tried to impeach the President, Well we seen how that worked out.

Updated as of 9:45pm EST on Monday, November 5, 2012 (TWO HOURS TO GO!):
*** FiveThirtyEight TONIGHT FLIPS FLORIDA TO OBAMA!
OBAMA'S LEAD IN MICHIGAN AND COLORADO GROWS AS MARGIN IN OHIO SOLIDIFIES; SMALLER LEADS GROW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND VIRGINIA AS IOWA SEES SHARP DECLINE.
Additionally, Obama's lead strengthened over the past three days in Nevada but softened in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania; Romney's lead in Florida rose today only to fall again, settling just above Sunday's RCP averaged polling percentage. Romney also lost ground in North Carolina.
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 2 hours to go in the traditional 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 9:45pm 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 96.9% chance of victory here, up by an astounding 11.2% since Tuesday.
In MICHIGAN, with 16 electoral votes, Obama's lead has returned to 4.0%, up from Sunday's 3.8%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 99.2% chance of victory here, up 0.8% from Friday.
In PENNSYLVANIA, with 20 electoral votes, Obama's lead fell late Monday afternoon to 3.8%, down from 3.9% over the weekend. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 98.7% chance of victory here, up by a significant 4.6% since Tuesday.
In OHIO, with 18 electoral votes, Obama's lead settled late this afternoon at 2.9%, up from 2.8% this morning. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 91.2% chance of victory here, up by an astronomical 17.9% 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 a 93.8% chance of victory here, up by 2.8% from Friday and by an astonishing 14.1% since Tuesday.
In IOWA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead fell this afternoon to 2.4%, down sharply from 3.0% on Monday morning. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 85.0% chance of victory here, up by an astounding 11.1% since Tuesday.
In NEW HAMPSHIRE, with 4 electoral votes, Obama's lead this afternoon has settled at 2.0%, up from 1.5% over the weekend. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 84.9% chance of victory here, up by a substantial 6.2% from Friday.
In COLORADO, with 9 electoral votes, Obama's lead rose late this afternoon to 1.5%, up from 0.6% over the weekend. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 80.3% chance of victory here, up by an astonishing 13.6% from Friday.
In VIRGINIA, with 13 electoral votes, Obama this morning emerged with a lead of 0.3%, reversing a longstanding but narrowing Romney lead of 0.3% from Sunday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 80.3% chance of victory here, up by an astronomical 15.5% from Friday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In FLORIDA, with 29 electoral votes, Romney's lead settled late this afternoon at 1.5%, up from 1.4% over the weekend. Interestingly, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama (and NOT Romney) a 52.5% chance of victory here, a significant turnaround of 3.2% from Friday.
Note: Romney's lead in Florida may be more fragile than 1.5% as RCP has chosen to include in their averaged polling two recent outlier findings of 6.0% and 5.0% in Romney's favor conducted by newspapers from conservative Tampa Bay and heavily Cuban Miami. As a consequence, the possibility remains that Romney's true lead here is less than 1.0% and may in fact be closer to that of dead heat.
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 72.4% chance of victory here, down an astonishing 9.0% 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%, Michigan at 4.0%, Pennsylvania at 3.8%, Ohio at 2.9%, and Nevada at 2.8%. 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, Iowa, 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 Iowa, 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, however, are climbing averaged poll numbers for Obama over the past two days in all three of these states.
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 1.5%, New Hampshire at 2.0%, Iowa at 2.4%, and Nevada at 2.8%) resulting in an electoral vote total of 273.
--------------------------------------------------------
FiveThirtyEight this morning estimates the chance of Election Day victory for each candidate as follows: Obama 91.4% (up significantly from Friday morning's 80.9%) and Romney 8.6% (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 314 (up 16 from Wednesday's 299) and Romney 224 (down 16 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 50.9% (up from Thursday's 50.4%) and Romney 48.5% (down from Thursday's 48.2%).
-------------------------------------------------------
A Few Election Day Predictions:
Expect on Tuesday a plethora of polling place horror stories from across the nation, including sporadic physical confrontations 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, if not sheer lunacy, in Republican Governor Rick Scott's Florida. Going forward, perhaps the National Guard should be charged with running elections here as state officials are clearly failing in their responsibilities.
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, taking Colorado and Virginia but failing to steal Florida, which in truth had already been stolen on behalf of Romney by Governor Rick Scott.
All legal challenges to the certification of the election that are filed in federal courts are summarily dismissed with prejudice and Barack Hussein Obama is sworn in on January 20, 2013 for his second term as President of the United States.
The very next day, and with no fanfare or publicity, the lights come on in Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential Campaign Headquarters.
While the east coast is recovering from a magor disaster we have a poster on here insinuating that our pres. isn't doing enough. talk about cold hearted. The thoughts and well wishs go out to you people from Washington state. the h-ll with politics.
Those people are nothing more to Obama than Political points, By the way I think him and Bloomberg forgot some People on Staten Island? They were still begging for help today.
Obama has not been the President for the last Four years, Ask any Lib, Obama did Nothing, It was all Bush.
Romney/Ryan for the Win.
[Waving magic wand...]
"The Great Recession never happened... 9/11 never happened... the Iraq war never happened.... Bush II never happened... Republican policies never happened.... Mitt doesn't want to reinstate the same old crap...."
Click your heels together and wiggle your nose this time. Maybe that will help.
Nevada...
Just do as your REPUBLICAN POSTER BOY FOR CONSERVATISM, RICK SANTORUM, tell you when he said...
" if Romney is the nominee of our party, you might as well vote for Obama "
nuff said
I thought nbc was pretty fair, but I see they are as duplicitous as Fox.
I don't know in what coin they were paid, but allowing Ryan to give a live political speech on the eve of the election is shameful. Something is rotten in Denmark and here.
Please email them to let them know how wrong and unethical this is.
The Only way Romney can win is by stealing the election....as Scott is trying to do in FL, as the pro-Romney company who purchased the 3rd largest voting machine company last July...the company that will count 17.7 million votes....some in Ohio counties.....like the Repub Govs are doing by limiting early voting, limiting voting hours in primary Dem districts.....like the voter ID laws for non-existent voter fraud.....like the Repub "poll watchers".
Americans will not let the GOP steal the election....Dems, Independent, moderate Repubs will re-elect President Obama despite the GOP.
Obama/Biden 2012
Why should I vote for a nothing? Obama is not a leader. Our country is going down hill. It's not like it used to be and Obama is letting it go. Wake up!
The Bottom line is; America can just not afford even only four days of Willard.
Yes, wake up, Sam. Stock market is up, gas prices going back down, housing starts up, unemployment going down. Yes, all of it slower than any of us (including the President) would like, but why would you want to go back to the party and policies that got us plummeting in the opposite direction?
Romney is meeting with Secy of State Husted and Gov Kasich tomorrow to be briefed on the election and did Husted deliver OH to Romney. Romney will do the same in PA with Gov Corbett and the Secy of State to see if they pulled it off. Romney is abetting voter suppression. If he wasn't, he would have disavowed it. These people are immoral and should never be in public service.
Republicans impeached Clinton about a "blow job" but they see nothing wrong at all with Romney lies.
Father Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do Luke 23:34.
Ryan and Romney say they believe in Hope and they believe in change.
We have seen these wolves in sheep's clothing before.

Let me warn you and let me warn the nation against the smooth evasion that says
“Of course we believe these things.
We believe in Social Security.
We believe in work for the unemployed.
We believe in saving homes.
Cross our hearts and hope to die, we believe in all these things.
But we do not like the way the present administration is doing them.
Just turn them over to us.
We will do all of them.
We will do more of them.
We will do them better.
And most important of all, the doing of them will not cost anybody anything.”
Vote Obama/Biden 2012!
Get Up!, Get Out! and Vote!
Obama does not know what he does. He's done nothing. Not leader material. Cocaine user.
Lies and smear tactics, the real cocaine cowboy was W Bush.
Sam. Obama's "done nothing"? Dude. Get out much?
The very fact that Obama wont address the Libya,Benghazi cover-up, and by his own words saying there's no need to talk about it before the election (like that is an answer) is proof that he is dirty,And his followers don't even want to know the truth of a set-up,murder and cover-up of a ambassador that dared to disagree with him and his policy's
The official story surrounding the events of September 11, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya which left four Americans dead, has now officially fallen apart.
After numerous flips and flops by the Obama administration, which originally attempted to paint the incident as a Muslim outcry over an anti-Islamic video, whistle blowers throughout the U.S. government, including within the White House, the State Department, national intelligence agencies and the U.S.military have made available stunning details that suggest not only did operational commanders have live visual and audio communications from drones overhead and intelligence assets on the ground, but that some commanders within the military were prepared to go-it-alone after being told to "stand down."
Africom commanding officer U.S. General Carter Ham, after being ordered to essentially surrender control of the situation to alleged Al Queda terrorists and let Americans on the ground die, made the unilateral decision to ignore orders from the Secretary of Defense and activated special operations teams at his disposal for immediate deployment to the area.(if the general had not intervened' there would be 34 dead Americans and not just 4---And now Obama has the U.S. General Arrested for Activating Special Forces Teams; Ignoring Libya Stand-Down Order. (Obama does not like the real light to be shined on him,HuH!)
Oil wars and 9-11? Your man is far worse.
Who frickin cares about Libya? The real issues are here in this country for Americans! Romney will send us back to less regulation so Wall Street can run wild again. The country is moving forward, and Romney wants to go back 50 years. I am sorry to read and hear constantly that Americans were killed in Libya, but every damn day and night Americans are killed all over in cities across this nation. Why, one reason is they are selling drugs instead of making a real paycheck to feed their family. The country needs to bring back the manufacturing jobs sent overseas and highly tax those that do not. The manufacturing industry is slowly coming back, and many more thousands of jobs will return under Obama within the next four years. Romney will just send more jobs overseas and the unemployment will surge again with less regulations. People need jobs, not the magic fantasy stuff that comes out of Romney's mouth. The 47% that he stated will not vote for him, was right. Us 47% are to smart for your lies and hatred of anyone that is not in your top 1% class. Latinos will be sent packing under Romney and you will be separated from your children. Women will loose their right to choose life or have an abortion due to rape, incest, health concerns for the mother, and all other reasons women choose to have an abortion. This election is very important so if you also don't vote, then you have no rights to complain. Standup and vote it is one of your basic rights to elect officals that represent your beliefs and rights as a citizen. Get in line and don't let anyone intimidate you or make you leave before you vote. Your unborn children and grandchildren years from now will be effected by this vote tomorrow. Don't go backwards, move forward through keeping your rights, choices, and opportunities.
Obama has done nothing except bribe poor people with cell phones.
Grounded123. All that bull@!$%# has been shown to have been made up. Nice little accusatory fantasy. Where was your faux outrage when embassy staff died during Republican administrations, anyway? If you guys are going to just make @!$%# up, why not go whole hog?! "Obama's a Nazi pedo-necro-beastiality muslim socialist from planet Blackenstein who eats children for breakfast but is too weak to open the door to his bedroom!"
Idiots.
I can't believe there are that many gullible people to vote for Romney, are you all serious? George Bush turned the surplus into a deficit handed to him from Clinton and spent how many billions in Iraq war which was a mistake. Obama inherited this economic mess and got no help from the right except doors slammed in their face continuously. Just remember Congress approval is 10% and the GOP - Republican party is why it is that low. Nothing has happened for the last two years, because all the Republicans are concerned with is winning the White House and not helping the American public. Just what did the House do the last two years to help the economy? Mitt Romney and Queen Anne make me want to throw up and their values are not what the majority of Americans want for the future. Women will be made to carry rape pregnancy to term once he appoints a Conservative or two on the Supreme Court. Women will loose many rights and they will even tell us that we cannot eventually use contraception. The country will go back to the 1950's and any woman who votes for Mitt Romney needs to say to her daughter that you don't have any rights. You have to carry that baby and give birth even if it was conceived out of rape or incest. You don't get to have contraception no more, you will have your medical procedures approved by your employer and not your doctor. Mitt Romney wanted the auto industry to go bankrupt. Obama saved the auto industry and it is back stronger than ever. Romney wants to give vouchers for medicare for the future of people under 55 years old. That voucher will not cover your cost for medical insurance people and you will have nothing if you cannot pay the difference out of your own pocket to make up the difference. Do you want your children and grandchildren to not have medicare coverage? If yes, go ahead elect Romney. For the future of this country, Obama is moving forward and Romney will move everything backwards. Wall Street will run wild again with less regulations for loans again and the viscious housing cycle will replay itself out again in a few years. This time though it may be your house you loose or your job that is sent overseas. Romney cannot be trusted and if this is the best the Republican's have for a candidate and ideas, then they are toast. I hope Romney has his bags packed for the Cayman Islands tomorrow night after the brutual but kicking he will take. Polls are just that polls, and the real people want to move forward not revert back over 50 years ago. Obama/Biden 2012 will move you forward, Romney oh please everyone needs a larger toilet to throw up all the lies and promises for the next four years.
Yes, good-bye Romneys... that will be the last attention you get in Ohio.
Obama/Biden 2012
Hello Romneys! Please help this country get back on its feet! We don't want to go in the direction of Greece !
Yep... truly it was goodbye. YIPEEEEE!!!
Gov. Romney trails by several points?
More wishful thinking by this liberal media (MSNBC).
When will they realize that there will be a tomorrow and your past could very well affect your future.
Do they plan to cover President Romney for the next
48 years?The way the Lame stream Media covers Obama it is like they are owned by the Government? If they spin around after Romney wins I guess we will find out if everything we see is just Propaganda?
The radical right propaganda machine is owned by billionaires with huge offshore bank accounts.
Yeah... that GD truth MSNBC is spoutin' all the time. It's so much more comfortable over there at FAUX news for you people that can't handle the truth.
Congratulations Obama/Biden!!!! 2nd term!
The first of many farewells.
