Despite Media Hype, No Bounce for Obama in Swing States

Politico’s “Unnamed Sources” say Ohio is lost for Mitt Romney. Like hell it is. They say Obama got a serious bounce from the DNC. Like hell he did.

Whatever bounce Obama got was in the blue states. In the swing states, it’s still way too close to call. Today’s Rasmussen poll results show that in the eleven swing states, including Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, which total 145 electoral votes, it’s Obama 46% and Romney 45%. In 2008, Obama won these states 53% to 46%.

So how does the MSM try to spin the evidence so Obama looks like he’s unbeatable? Let’s look at Ohio, for example. Politico reported (using uncredited sources, of course), that Ohio is lost for Romney:

“Two officials intimately involved in the GOP campaign said Ohio leans clearly in Obama’s favor now.”

I didn’t know Axelrod and Plouffe were working for Romney, but hey, they’ll go where the money is.

But, as usual, Politico was relying on Obama-leaning polls to support their narrative; yesterday the PPP poll (which is always weighted toward Obama because of PPP’s affiliation with the SEIU) showed Obama up by five in Ohio. Hmmm. According to the Gravis marketing poll taken last Tuesday, Romney was up three in Ohio. Who’s telling the truth?

Consider these:

Example #1. On August 14, the PPP poll showed Obama up three in Ohio, while the same day Rasmussen Reports showed Romney and Obama tied.

Example #2: Last Monday PPP showed Obama tied with Romney in North Carolina, while the Elon University/Charlotte Observer poll, a local state poll, showed Romney up by four.

But Politico won’t be denied their mission to say whatever they can to disillusion Romney’s base, and they make no bones about using uncredited sources; as Politico reporter Jonathan Martin said last month when Politico quoted unnamed sources in a story about Republicans unhappy about the selection of Paul Ryan (what?????):

We were candid about the sourcing on that, as you mentioned, Howie, and basically say to our readers, ‘Look, folks don’t want to put their names [on] the charges. If you don’t want to read Politico, that’s fine.’

Every race in the swing states is close right now, and the unconscionable skewing of the polls by the MSM shouldn’t discourage Republicans. The MSM has lied before, they are lying now, and they will lie in the future. The Obama campaign has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at Romney, they have the power of incumbency, and Romney simply is not going away. And all of this is before Romney has even attacked Obama in ads and the debates.

Hey, Dems, this show ain’t even close to over; we’re just getting warmed up.

You know, I'm not real believing of this poll shite, too much fluff and not enough real numbers. You can't find a democrat voter in Texas, wonder if they have a whole set of them locked in some deep, dark mayo jar, and break them out when they need to prop up the chosen one.
The country going wrong way fast, and Im not real sure enough people want to ride it off the tracks, too much money right there with Romney's in a bank where Obama can't confiscate it. Heck, mine is in a coffee can under the fig bush.

Huffington Post US House predictions from Nov 1 2010
Right now, the probabilities produced by our House model show Republicans leading in enough of the marginal seats to bring their total to 213 seats to 194 for the Democrats with 28 seats still on our toss-up category. As of this hour, if we allocate the toss-ups based on the candidate our model considers most probable to win in each district (regardless of the margin), we would project 226 seats for the Republicans and 209 seats for the Democrats -- representing a net gain of 48 seats for the Republicans.

That margin, if accurate, is far more consistent with a Republican advantage of 5 to 6-points on the national generic ballot than the double-digit tsunami forecast by the Gallup and Fox News polls.

Actual numbers were Democrats 193 Republicans 242 a 63 seat flip from the Democrats to the Republicans. According to the toss up seats in the Huffington post predictions all of them and one save Democrat seat went to the Republicans.

ALL we can do is hope people are reminded everyday up until the 2012 election day of why the Democrats lost big in 2010 and that Obama was the leader pushing all those policies that made the voters so mad in 2010.

US voters made the Congressional members pay the price for the out of control spending and far left transformation of the US. It is now time to make their leader pay for 6 trillion dollars more in debt, record unemployment, the down grade in the US credit rating and the down grade in the US reputation with US ALLIES. He might think he raised the US reputation among US enemies but I'm guessing they are sitting back laughing at him. :roll:

TIME TO MAKE HIM PAY. :roll: :x
