Obama vs. Romney 2012: Our Polls Are Larger Than Yours

  • frode said...

    That's just not true. There are literally hundreds of provisions in Obamacare that Romneycare doesn't have. Obamacare is of a much larger scope, and not just because it's national.

    Granted, but the fundamental designs of both programs are very similar, and that was my point.

    See links to two Politifact articles:

  • Much hay has been made of Obama staying out of NC recently, what do we make of Romney staying out of Wisconsin?

    Pakistan is the only country that prefers Romney, and Obama is the only western leader who can pronounce Pakistan

    It's well known that Sirajuddin Haqqani supports balanced budgets and fiscal responsibility, inshallah.

    To be fair, we don't know if that's because Obama thinks he can't win NC, or if he's just afraid to cum to the rougher parts of the state.

    The media is eating their representations up. They literally moved one staffer from NC to Ohio and it's OMG ROMNEY MOVING RESOURCES FROM NC panic .

    I don't see a world where Obama wins OH but loses WI. If Romney was going to WI more often it would be a tell. For example, Obama hasn't been to NC since the convention. That tells you all you need to know.

    Actually, if Romney has the cash to spare, he should turn up the volume on his ground game in PA, b/c Obama very probably can't win without PA .

    Follow the money. Obama has stopped spending in NC and his spending in VA has decreased 3 weeks in a row.

    Ugh that's the same trick that disenfranchised a lot of voters in the past. PA is not a state that is tolerant of disguise.

    inshallah...well that's always the x-factor, isn't it? Typical hedging.

    Romney repeated the statement that Syria provides "access to the sea" for Iran, when Iran has its own access to the sea (the Persian Gulf) and does NOT have a shared border with Syria.

    WTF is Romney talking about?

    Tell me you arent buying this Huff Post crap are you? Really? Syria does boarder the sea. The Med. Romney didn't say Syria and Iran boarder each other. You know...the Med. Sea.... gateway to Europe?

    Did you miss the $10 billion gas pipline deal announced sometime last year between Syria and Iran so that, you know, Iran could more easily get stuff to Europe?

    Did you miss the syria/Iran free trade agreement? Part of the purpose was to skirt sanactions and get stuff ti Europe.

    Both smart moves. Both campaigns are at the stage where they have to concede some states and focus resources where a point or two will change the election.

    Real question, how do these polls define swing states when they lump them together? Are Pennsylvania and NC included?

    Here's the link (short answer: dunno)

    Ras: This is now the third time Romney has hit the 50% mark in the combined swing states in the past four days and is the biggest lead either candidate has held in nearly three weeks.

  • I'll be voting for Romney and I hope he wins. If that were to happen, I sincerely hope that both Obama and Romney supporters can come together afterwards and enjoy the Chernobyl sized meltdown that will be occurring on MSNBC. That will be some serious must see TV. Who will break down and cry on the air? How many will threaten to move to Canada? Will they play the "sad" music coming out of/going into commercials? Will Chris Matthews pull a Bud Dwyer?

    Are you trying to beat carlterp's prolific early effort at being the worst political poster in the final presidential election thread? If so, solid effort.

    I'd be happy to if you promise to watch Fox News when Obama wins to find out how the media stole the election.

    Will do. Though I don't expect nearly the level of hysterics on Fox News in the event of an Obama victory.
