((10/7/12)  Update:  Romney has gained 1 in Rasmussen’s polling among those certain to vote, 48-46 but leaners remain the same at 49-47 with Romney ahead.  Gallup is unchanged today with Obama up 3, 49-46 among registered voters, though this poll is a registered voter poll that is a 7 day tracking poll.  What that means is Gallup could see some wild swings toward Romney this | Read More »

I missed this.  Earlier I had cited that, according to Democrats, how The Obama Part-Time Economy has seen more people leave the work force than jobs have been created in the “recovery”  that has taken place since 2010. “This is not what a real recovery looks like. We created fewer jobs in September than in August, and fewer jobs in August than in July, and | Read More »

Is this what you meant by Hope and Change Mr. President? From CNN Fact Check scrutinizing the awesome recovery Democrats were trumpeting at their convention: Anyone watching the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night heard the number 4.5 million several times.”Despite incredible odds and united Republican opposition, our president took action, and now we’ve seen 4.5 million new jobs,” San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the | Read More »

I don’t think I can ever recall such a dominating performance by a GOP Presidential candidate since maybe Reagan/Carter 1980.  Mitt’s command, knowledge, and depth of the issues was just an awesome display of competence.  His demeanor was cheerful, engaged, confident, and focused.  His energy was just incredible.   His discipline and preparation since June, the endless hours invested, very much paid off tonight.  The | Read More »

Just when you thought the Obama Administration couldn’t get any lower…. The Labor Department issued guidance in July saying it would be “inappropriate” for contractors to issue notices of potential layoffs tied to sequestration cuts. But a few contractors, most notably Lockheed Martin, said they still were considering whether to issue the notices — which would be sent out just days before the November election. | Read More »

Good grief. This will play well in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.  One thing you have to understand about these states, particularly Michigan and Pennsylvania:  They may have a prominent union element in those states, but those boys are big on keeping our nation safe.  This will not play well in Virginia either.

I haven’t been watching the Sunday talk shows this morning.  However, it appears that the media are really driving hard at how Obama is up in the polls, Romney’s losing.  From the tone of it, the media is REALLY pushing this thing now.  Now granted, I believe Obama is up 2-3 points nationally right now, assuming a D+3 electorate.  I believe this would show if | Read More »

Why am I not surprised?  The National Journal reported on this. The White House moved to prevent defense and other government contractors from issuing mass layoff notices in anticipation of sequestration, even going so far to say that the contracting agencies would cover any potential litigation costs or employee compensation costs that could follow. Some defense companies—including Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems and EADS North America—have | Read More »

These new poll releases by Quinnipiac that came out would indicate it is all but over for Mitt Romney.  But, look deeper: Florida — 36D/27R/33I (D+9) Ohio — 35D/26R/35I (D+9) Pennsylvania — 39D/28R/27I (D+11) Guys, there is no way that the electorate is going to break down like that on election night.  The national tracking polls of Rasmussen and Gallup would show Obama with a | Read More »

Via Battleground Watch: Stanford PhD candidate in Political Science Lucas Puente tweeted the below graph out just now.  The left Y-axis is the S&P 500 and the right Y-axis is the Intrade % chance Obama gets re-elected.  Superimposed in the graph are the two major events where central bankers (the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank) pumped liquidity into the market.  Basically the | Read More »

Looks like we’re going to get quite the race coming down into the stretch.  Rasmussen shows that the race is tied among likely voters, assuming a D+2 turnout of the electorate, Gallup shows it to be a +2 lead for Obama among registered voters.  Typically, if Gallup was using their likely voter model, it would show Romney with a 1 point lead as the average | Read More »

Round 1.  Use heavily weighted Democratic voter polls based on outperforming or turnout that will mirror 2008 to depress the GOP base turnout.  Round 2: Interesting, watch the stretch of these points the notoriously left publication tries to claim.  No doubt another tool in trying to cause dissension in the conservative base: In the course of a single night, Romney said: * On his “47 | Read More »

Gosh, that sounded like I was some sort of conspiracy theorist.  There have been a slew of polls that have come out today and they belie what the electorate is really like right now.  Its absolutely crazy.  I do have a concern about this though and that is these polling results depressing GOP voters whom don’t follow politics and trends like all of us do | Read More »

Donate here. When I first saw this, the thought went through my mind “Holy crap, Mitt’s more conservative than I thought.” Conservative bloggers are fired up over this, in a good way.  I want this guy. Of course, the left and MSM is going bonkers over this stating that Mitt has called 47% of the American public freeloaders.  Lets look at this: There are 47 | Read More »

Update:  After looking more at this site, this site has been out there since May.  I guess you could call it relatively new but still, it’s a great site.  The name of the site is Battleground Watch.  This guy does some really good work.  I found out about this site by browsing around other conservative blogs and this one started popping up.  I checked it | Read More »

Yeah, you could say I got really angry of the events over the last 24 hours.  Shades of 1979.  Embassies being attacked and Americans being slaughtered.   Got even angrier when the media and some very pansy unnamed “GOP sources”, even a John McCain aide are desperately trying to turn this into a Romney gaffe (Note:  Take this article with high skepticism as it was | Read More »

We’ve seen this all before.  I have seen much wailing and consternation over Rasmussen’s and Gallup’s polling over the swing to Obama that is a result of the DNC convention bounce.  This was to be expected.  This bounce will fade within two weeks at worst given that awful August jobs report gut shot.  Friends, we have seen all these tactics before.  Let’s go over them. | Read More »

Oh…….YES Senior Romney-Ryan campaign officials tell Fox News the campaign will launch an enormous media offensive on Friday, the day after President Obama accepts the Democratic Party’s nomination for a second term. The push will include ad buys in several states that will cost tens of millions of dollars. Aides said more than a dozen new ads, each tailored to different regions and segments of | Read More »

This is BIG. During August, 37.6% of Americans considered themselves Republicans. That’s up from 34.9% in July  and 35.4% in June. It’s also the largest number of Republicans ever recorded by Rasmussen Report since monthly tracking began in November 2002. The previous peak for the GOP was 37.3% in September 2004. See History of Party Trends. Rasmussen has nailed the last two presidential elections.  To | Read More »

  Oh……that Romney cash advantage is starting to loom very large now like an ill-fated sledgehammer on the Obama campaign.  Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan.  Reliably must-have blue states for a Democratic presidential candidate to have any chance of winning the election are very, very close to falling into the Romney column.  It could be reasoned that, barring a big misstep by the Romney/Ryan ticket, Wisconsin and | Read More »
