Why Obama Is Pulling Ahead In The Battleground State Of Wisconsin
Post Date: 2012-09-21 11:08:09 by Brian S
0 Comments
The independent voter, perhaps upset by Mitt Romney’s recent remarks and his attacks on President Obama, appears to be behind a shift in polling numbers in Wisconsin that indicate Mr. Obama is pulling ahead there. Wisconsin is among a handful of battleground states in the November presidential election. This summer, the fight appeared to be neck and neck in the state, and before the national conventions of both parties, Obama edged Mr. Romney by merely one or two percentage points.Now, more than half of Wisconsin voters are favoring Obama, according to several new polls this week. And it’s not necessarily because Republicans are suddenly switching from red to blue, says Charles ...
Congress Exiting to Campaign Leaving Pileup of Issues
Post Date: 2012-09-21 10:57:52 by Brian S

Measured by legislative accomplishments or public approval, the 112th U.S. Congress comes up short. As a path to getting members re-elected Nov. 6, it will be a success for the vast majority of lawmakers. When Congress recesses until after the election, lawmakers will leave behind a pile of unresolved issues. Chief among them are the expiring George W. Bush-era tax cuts and $1.2 trillion in automatic spending reductions set to begin in January. Upon returning to the Capitol for a mid-November lame-duck session, Congress also must address expired farm programs, set Defense Department spending and troop levels, and reauthorize U.S. wiretapping of suspected terrorists without court warrants. ...
Club For Growth To ‘Mixed Bag’ Romney: You’re On Your Own

If Romney hoped well-heeled conservative advocates would come running to his rescue after his remarks about the poor and middle class sent his campaign into a tailspin, he’ll have to look elsewhere. His right-leaning campaign hasn’t convinced conservatives that he’s one of them, according to Club for Growth president Chris Chocola. “This may sound strange, but we’re doing nothing to improve his odds,” Chocola said Thursday in Washington at a breakfast roundtable hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. “We’re not really involved in the presidential race. … We didn’t make an endorsement in the Republican primary process, not because we ...
Pawlenty Steps Down As Romney Campaign Co-Chair

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) is stepping down as co-chair of the campaign to elect former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) president. According to CNN, Pawlenty has been tapped as president and CEO of the Financial Services Roundtable, a Washington-based group that lobbies for banks. The Hill‘s “On the Money” blog quotes Allstate CEO and Financial Services Roundtable chairman Tom Wilson as saying, “Tim’s leadership, vision and ability to find common ground make him the right choice to represent the broad membership of the Financial Services Roundtable. He is exactly the kind of leader we need to continue to improve our industry’s reputation, advocate ...
Romney Takes Hits in Republican Party as Obama Gains Edge

Republican Mitt Romney is being hit with criticism in his own party over the tone and direction of the election campaign with a narrowing window of time to regroup. Even as Romney tried to transform his latest stumble into an attack on President Barack Obama, a series of national polls showed the incumbent’s lead growing, leaving some Republicans anxious about his prospects, uncomfortable with the management of his campaign and impatient for him to turn the contest around. “He’s had two narratives over the last week and a half: one that says, ‘Is he compassionate?’; the other that says, ‘Is he competent?’,” Matthew Dowd, a Bloomberg analyst and ...
Ron Paul Supporters: When It Comes to Obama vs Romney, Just Say No
Post Date: 2012-09-19 23:31:57 by Brian S
2 Comments
In a Breitbart.com article entitled "Time for Ron Paul Fans to Support the Constitution," Kurt Schlichter discusses the dire necessity of ousting President Obama and replacing him with Mitt Romney. Schlichter attempts to make the case that four more years of the current administration will be the final nail in the Constitution's coffin, and in order to prevent this, Ron Paul supporters must bite the bullet and vote for the Romney/Ryan ticket. Schlichter, like any good Republican, accurately and ruthlessly identifies the danger of re-electing President Obama. The administration's record has been nothing short of appalling on civil liberties issues ranging from free ...
Polls show Romney soars with independent voters

Recent polls show President Obama enjoying a bounce in the polls following last week's Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C., but buried in those data is good news for Mitt Romney about voter enthusiasm and the preferences of independents, who could decide the election. The CNN/ORC International poll of registered and likely voters released Tuesday shows likely voters favoring Obama by 52 percent to 46 percent over Romney -- evidence, pundits said, of a post-convention bump for the president. But a figure buried in the report shows Romney leading Obama among likely independent voters, 54 percent to 40 percent. Both Democrats and Republicans believe independents will be critical to ...
Pew: Obama 51, Romney 43 ("holds a bigger September lead than the last three candidates who went on to win in November")
Post Date: 2012-09-19 14:20:43 by Brian S

The Pew Research Center gives Obama his biggest lead of the week, finding that he "holds a bigger September lead than the last three candidates who went on to win in November": With the exception of jobs and the deficit, on which voter opinion is about evenly divided, Obama leads Romney on most key issues, notably healthcare, Medicare, and abortion. And the survey, conducted amid an outbreak of violence in the Middle East and shortly after the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya, shows that Obama has a wide edge when it comes to foreign affairs and national security. Far more voters see Obama as a strong leader and as the candidate voters believe would use good judgment in a ...
Union Says Romney Ad Uses Exploited OH Coal Miners Required To Attend Rally And Missing A Day's Pay

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A national union leader says Ohio coal miners pictured in a new ad from the Mitt Romney campaign are those who were required to appear at the Republican presidential nominee's coal-country rally, missing a day's pay. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on Wednesday echoed earlier concern after footage from the August event at the Century Mine in Beallsville in southeastern Ohio was included in Romney's ad. The ad criticizes President Barack Obama for imposing environmental regulations that have hurt coal production and for a statement in 2008 that new coal-fired power plants would go bankrupt as a result of fees he supported for greenhouse gas ...
Harry Reid: 'Mitt Romney May Be One of Those Paying No Federal Income Tax'

On the Senate floor just, Senate majority leader Harry Reid tripled down and again accused Mitt Romney of not paying income taxes: "If you’re a multimillionaire, Mitt Romney won’t rest until you get a quarter million dollar tax cut. That’s what the Ryan budget does. And Romney likes that. For all we know, Mitt Romney could be one of those who have paid no federal income tax. Thousands of families make more than $1 million, pay nothing in federal income taxes each year. Repeat that Madame President, thousands of families making more than a million dollars a year pay nothing in federal income taxes. Is Mitt Romney among those? We’ll never know since he ...
Senate GOP Blocks Veterans Jobs Bill

Senate Republicans today defeated Democratic legislation designed to help veterans get jobs, complaining that the measure violates budget rules and is meant to score political points rather than help veterans. "Americans don't trust us," said Sen.Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee. "And why should Americans trust us when we keep using gimmicks and budget sleight of hand to hide more spending and drive the country further into debt." Democrats sought to waive budget rules, but the proposal failed 58-40, with most Republicans voting against it. Sixty votes were needed to overcome the procedural hurdle and push the bill toward final ...
Romney's Missteps Could Cost Party The Senate, Strategists Say
Post Date: 2012-09-19 11:46:19 by Brian S

Republicans believe Mitt Romney’s mistakes could prevent them from winning back the Senate. Romney’s failure to close the gap with President Obama less than 50 days before the election, as well as a variety of high-profile gaffes, have raised concerns that the GOP nominee will strand candidates in close swing-states races. Polls show Obama leading Romney in Ohio and Virginia, two states where strategists think the top of the ticket will most affect the Senate contests. Several Republican senators believe Romney’s campaign needs to change course by presenting a bolder vision of how he would govern, if elected, and fleshing out his policy agenda with more detail.

Clint Eastwood: Romney Campaign ‘Dumb Enough’ To Ask Me To Speak

Clint Eastwood is continuing to stand behind a bizarre speech that the gave at the Republican National Convention last month and says if that if Mitt Romney’s campaign was “dumb enough” to ask him to speak then they deserve what they got. “People loved it or hated it, and that’s fine,” the 82-year-old actor told Extra‘s Jerry Penacoli. “I figure if somebody’s dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they’re gonna have to take what they get.” And Eastwood said that he would probably do it all again. “I never look backward.

Romney Better Off for Not Asking as Economy Improves Since 2009

Mitt Romney routinely asks voters whether they’re better off than they were four years ago. He’d be better off asking another question: What has the president done for you lately? At this point in 2008, amid the worst financial panic since 1929, the U.S. economy was melting down, contracting 8.9 percent in the fourth quarter of that year. Today, by most measures, the economy is in far better shape. Of 70 indicators compiled by Bloomberg, 51 -- including growth, hiring, housing starts and the stock market -- have improved compared with January 2009 when President Barack Obama took office. “The economy was going off a cliff,” says Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist at IHS ...
FEC Reports Will Show Romney In Debt, Campaign Sources Say

(CNN) - Campaign finance reports to be released later this week will show Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney over $10 million in debt, the Romney campaign confirmed to CNN Tuesday, although the debt is a result of federal restrictions on when the campaign can spend its war chest. Romney's campaign took out a loan of $20 million as it approached its party convention last month and saw accessible funds dwindling, sources said. While Romney has been raising general election funds for several months, he could not spend those funds until he officially accepted his party's nomination at the Republican convention. The loans and debt were first reported Tuesday evening by the ...

Fueled by increased optimism about the economy and nation’s direction, President Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney by 5 points among likely voters and now sees his job-approval rating reaching the 50 percent threshold for the first time since March, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. The survey – which was conducted after the two party conventions and the political firestorm over last week’s U.S. embassy attacks, but before Romney’s controversial comments about the 47 percent of the country “who are dependent on government” – shows the percentages believing that the country is headed in the right direction and thinking that the economy ...

The video carping about government moochers may well have sealed it. Mitt Romney is going down, and the fight already is on for the future of the Republican Party. The battle will be bitter—and prolonged, says Robert Shrum. by Robert Shrum | September 18, 2012 7:32 AM EDT There is a civil war gathering in the Republican Party. It looks more and more like a dispirited and disappointed collection of factions, preparing to lay blame for a lost presidential election and to do battle to shape a new direction for the Grand Old Party. Last week the view hardened that the Republican nominee was in close to terminal trouble. Having lost the summer as he let the Obama ...
Gop Sen. Scott Brown Denounces Romney Comments

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) came out in opposition to GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's controversial comments that were made public last night, an attempt to distance himself from a candidate that remains deeply unpopular in Massachusetts. The candidate joins Republican candidate for Senate in Connecticut Linda McMahon in coming out against the statements, making them thus far the only two Republican candidates for Senate to denounce Romney's remarks on the "47 percent." Romney drew fire from Democrats for commenting, at a fundraiser packed with wealthy donors, that nearly half of Americans will vote for President Obama no matter what, and that those "47 ...

By John Whitesides WASHINGTON | Tue Sep 18, 2012 1:31pm EDT (Reuters) - Already reeling from a secret video showing him deriding 47 percent of the U.S. electorate, Republican Mitt Romney's campaign hit more trouble on Tuesday when new images surfaced in which he accused Palestinians of not wanting peace. The videos, taken at the same closed-door fundraiser in Florida in May, have knocked Romney's gaffe-plagued campaign even more off stride and raised fresh questions about whether he can come from behind in the polls and win the White House in November. "I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and ...
Conservatives Agree: Romney's Wrong

Michael WarrenSeptember 18, 2012 11:10 AM Plenty of conservatives are pushing back against the worldview espoused by Mitt Romney in his "arrogant and stupid' remarks at a private fundraiser earlier this year. The conservative case against Romney's analysis is multi-pronged. His description of the 47 percent who don't pay income taxes as "dependents" flies in the face of the conservative view that Americans should be paying fewer, not more, taxes. And historically, most Americans have not paid income taxes. Moreover, most of those who don't pay income taxes still contribute to the federal government in the form of payroll taxes and other federal taxes and fees. ...

Democrat Elizabeth Warren took the lead in her bid to unseat Republican U.S. Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts after she delivered a prime-time speech at the Democratic National Convention, a Suffolk University poll found. Warren, a Harvard Law School professor, led Brown 48 percent to 44 percent in the poll by the Boston-based school and WHDH-TV. While that falls within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4 points, it compares to a May survey that showed Brown ahead of Warren, 48 percent to 47 percent when the margin was 5 points. The race for the seat occupied by Democrat Ted Kennedy for almost 47 years has become one of the nation’s most expensive and closely ...

Footage of Mitt Romney speaking to a group of 30 major donors has surfaced, revealing trove of inflammatory statements. The video — which was shot by an anonymous attendee of the event and originally sent to Mother Jones — includes the assertion that he "inherited nothing" (only true if you don't count private school tuition, parental loans, and after-the-fact charity donations) and a joke about how he'd have a better shot at winning if his Mexico-born father had "been born of Mexican parents ... I mean, I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino.” But perhaps most illuminating is Romney's take on Americans who plan to ...

Stuart Stevens, Mitt Romney’s top strategist, knew his candidate’s convention speech needed a memorable mix of loft and grace if he was going to bound out of Tampa with an authentic chance to win the presidency. So Stevens, bypassing the speechwriting staff at the campaign’s Boston headquarters, assigned the sensitive task of drafting it to Peter Wehner, a veteran of the last three Republican White Houses and one of the party’s smarter wordsmiths. Not a word Wehner wrote was ever spoken. (PHOTOS: 12 hits on Mitt Romney from the right) Stevens junked the entire thing, setting off a chaotic, eight-day scramble that would produce an hour of prime-time problems for ...
