Obama's Lead Over Romney Is Widening

A

ARMCX1

Mayor
I am hoping that the trends continue upward and Obama gets more than the 365 electoral votes and/or the almost 53% of the vote (to about 46% for McCain) that he got in 2008. Under the circumstances, that would be considered a landslide. Obama is not there yet but it looks like he will be entering the second half of the campaign (with Debate 1) with a respectable lead and Romney stymied.

According to Real Clear Politics, Obama has opened up a 3.3% lead over Romney in aggregate national polling.

In terms of the electoral college, if the election were held today, Obama would be reelected with 332 electoral votes to Romney's 206 electoral votes.

Romney is running an inept campaign and doing so from behind. Romney's message is diffuse and erratic as Romney struggles to gain some advantage to build on. More or less, this is how Romney is going to enter the first debate. It makes him error prone.

Presumably, Romney's ace in the hole is the hundreds of millions of dollars in political speech to be spent on Romney's and other GOP/TP's behalves.

I suspect Romney is going to be "over-prepped" for the Debate.... essentially answering questions not asked...

Romney is a TYPICAL CEO... he HATES to be challenged.

I agree. There is now little doubt that Obama has the electoral vote sewed up. While that is reassuring regarding the future of our nation, I hope that there is massive turnout on election day and that a strong mandate is exhibited in the popular vote. Winning the presidency is important, but we need is to stomp the Tea Party, Know Nothing, nonsense ideology back into the abyss from which it reared it's ugly head.

We simply can't afford to continue moving backward. The rest of the world will be more than happy to see the United States in their rear-view mirror as we fall behind every other advanced nation in quality of life and economic progress. That's not the future that I want for my children, nor for my children's children.


Obama/Biden 2012

Get out there and vote. Make sure that your friends do. It matters!
 
Interesting story on NPR this morning from Washington State Univ. Apparently Romney pulled his ad spend during the DNC... but Obama did not do the same during the RNC. And in particular Obama OUTSPENT Romney in the battleground states quite significantly during the conventions....

I heard that. Apparently the Romney "strategy" is to do a "blitz" in the last 30-45 days and "get in the last word" and hope that pushs his poll numbers back up in the swing states.

But in the meantime, playing "rope-a-dope" allows his numbers to be driven down and a MEME of "Romney is losing and his shrill attacks are a sign of desperation"....and Rightwing pundits doing articles and talk, giving Romney advice on "How to turn it around"....which just reinforces the idea that he's losing...badly.

So by the time he's ready for his "blitz"...the ads may come off as EVEN MORE desperation and backfire.
