Hello:

Mitt thinks running for president is hard.. Does he think BEING president is easy??

Downballot Republicans are running away from him. His collapse is going to cause the loss of the Senate, that was within their reach, and the Dems MIGHT even regain the House.

Obama WAS imminently beatable... So, the Republicans ran a bunch of clowns against him.. What were they thinking?

Well it can't be that hard if Obama has time to go on David Leterman and play golf while out Embassies burn.

Hello smoothy:

No, I think he will.. It's true, the final poll has yet to be taken, but the ones I read today show Obama PULLING away. It's going to be a landslide. Of course, you'll deny it. You guys deny EVERYTHING.

The only polls that are showing him ahead are dubious at best with their methodology...

And the only poll that really matters are the ones in the voting booth.

Hello again, smoothy:

If I ran a poll, and wanted to BEAT Obama in the worst way, I'd show him ahead.

You thought it was easy? Your psychological war isn't fazing me a bit.

Hello again, Steve:

No?? Tom already admitted he'd rather have Ryan at the top.. And, I KNOW you're jonesing for Chris Christy or Jeb Bush...

Bwa, ha ha ha.

All the telemarketers who call me say they will vote for Obama (my personal poll). Chicago is covered (both North and South Sides) and yesterday I got Tennessee covered. Obama in a landslide!

(Love the title of this thread, exy!)

I don't put much crede in the polls... too much inside baseball stuff . But considering the convention bounce will fade away ;this is still a tight race by anyone's measure . Only Pew and National poll has it above the margin of error in favor of the President . Everything else is for all intents a statistical tie .

I also said the ticket would be better reversed. So? It ain't over.

P.S. Can you say "Jones" here on a thread called "It's hard?"

Jones?. I was thinking Johnson.

OFA can play with the Romney 2011 tax statement all weekend, and do their typical mock the rich dude act... it does not move the story from the fact that 26 states saw increased unemployment in August . The election is going to be decided on the Obama incompetent and flawed managing of the economy since the "recovery" began.

The President admitted to Univision that he has found that he did not succeed once he was inside .That's because all he knows is community organizing working from the outside. I say we give him that opportunity to again work from the outside.
Here's a slogan for OFA.. "More people added to food stamps than got new jobs last week."WTG OFA!

Nope, it'll be decided on Mittens gaffes.

Nope... Obama and his flunkies really jammed their foot in it over the Libyan Embassy attack pack of lies...

Ok, we'll see after the voting.

The election is not about Romney. It is about the economy, which is sluggish and discouraging. Extreme foreign policy events can change minds about right direction/wrong direction polling ,but is not usually decisive except in rare cases like the 1980 campaign. However ,we don't know how the current crisis will play out so it's too early to say if it will be a major factor this year.

A better polling indicator to look at is likeability .The President needs to be close to 50% in the likeability pools in November . Right now the President is close because he has benefitted from the post DC bounce. But that will not last .

The race by all indicators is too close to call . Some toss away the high and the low polls and you have an averge inside the margins of error . But I normally don't pay attention to polls until the final week . Why ? Because some polls are skewed by the samplings used. But getting closer to the election ,these polling organizations have to be more concerned about their reputations ,so the polling becomes a little more honest.

Romeny's alleged gaffs won't be a factor unless he really screws up in the debates.

Tom you think they are playing with Romney's tax files wouldn't you like a 14% tax rate is that why you want lower taxes so your tax rate can match Romney's. It is a disgrace in public administration that a millionaire or billionaire should have a 14% tax rate whilst poorer people pay higher rates
