What would you say to one of the candidates if he were to ask you the following question two questions:

1. What is one thing that I can do to improve my compaign in these last days?

2. What is one thing that you believe it is needed in your industry, that I as the next president can do to help make it thrive in the coming years?

Romney.

Run more ads regarding the Fast and Furious scandal, and the evolving Benghazi Coverup, since the media hasn't made an adequate effort to cover these stories.

Let the US become energy independent. Get government out of the way wherever possible, will help almost every industry.

Romney in a landslide, IF enough of the idiots in my great state of Ohio change their mind , or enough of us with any sense outvote the morons, that the polls keep showing Oblamea with a lead. Somehow he is winning with the women by 15 pts. WHY ? Do they not care if we're 16 TRILLION IN DEBT OR STILL HAVE HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT ? Oblameas adgenda is MORE OF THE SAME. I will be quite ashamed if Obama wins re=election due to my states vote.

I agree Romney needs to keep pushing Energy Independence for us. Stop buying oil from the people who would rather kill us.

Poll: Obama leads Romney by 5 in Ohio

By Jonathan Easley - 10/24/12 04:36 PM ET

President Obama has a 5-percentage-point advantage over Mitt Romney in Ohio, thanks to a massive lead among those who say they have already voted, according to a Time magazine poll released Wednesday.


Obama takes 49 percent support over Romney at 44. Among those who say they have already voted, Obama leads by a 2-to-1 margin, 60 percent to 30 over Romney.



Among voters who say they intend to vote but have not yet voted, the candidates are tied at 45.

Obama leads by 2.1 percentage points over Romney in Ohio, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls.

For Obama, the Time poll is on the high side of what other recent Ohio polls have shown. According to a Suffolk University poll released Monday, Obama and Romney each took 47 percent support, but Obama leads 54-41 among those who have already voted.

The gender gap is particularly pronounced in Ohio, according to the Time poll. Obama leads Romney 56-37 among women, while Romney holds a 51-42 lead among men.

With Less than Two Weeks to Go, It Is All About Ohio

The national polls--with the exception of Gallup, which is undersampling minorities--are very close, but as always, it is the electoral college that matters. If Obama wins the states the Democrats have won in the last five elections (which seems likely) plus New Mexico (which is almost certain), he has 247 electoral votes. Throw in Ohio and he is at 265. From there, winning just one swing state bigger than New Hampshire is enough. Without Ohio, Romney has no chance. If Romney wins only his base plus Ohio, he's not home free yet, but if he wins Ohio, he is very likely to win North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida as well, and that would get him very close to 270. So in the last two weeks, there will be a lot of focus, energy, and money poured into Ohio.

The other states that will get attention are Florida and Virginia, because they are big enough to change the dynamics. The only other states likely to get much play are Colorado, Nevada (although it may be too late for Romney there), Iowa, and maybe New Hampshire. These are the big seven. The rest don't count. Sorry about that if you live in one of the other 43--although there might be an exciting Senate or House race nearby.

Looking at today's map is instructive. It shows that Obama can get to 270 electoral votes even without Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Iowa, and Colorado, as long as he holds Ohio. But if he loses Ohio and gains any one of those four states, he still wins.

Romney:

1. Change your position again, if thats possible,or show your last 10 yrs. tax returns for starters. Trump will then hopefully donate 5 million to a charity of your choice.
2. Their industry is politics! I'm retired but I raise cattle part-time and I'm pretty well pleased with cattle prices, any one here griping about them or grain prices.

Had to add #3 Take money out of politics,do away with the outdated electoral system or at least make it not a winner take all for most states.

You always like using the poll that shows what you want, eh?


The RCP average shows it being a virtual tie, when you take in to account the margin of error.

And once again, the CBS poll and some of the others are still oversampling Dems. The Time poll, that OT posted is even worse. http://ranchers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61092

Speaking of morons-- this may be a good reason women fear Republicans and Romney-- and why the Tea Party name and candidates are so lowly thought of by so many...

No wonder women don't want to see Repubs in the White House or Senate when they have the intelligence of an Akin or Mourdock...


Indiana Republican: When life begins from rape, 'God intended' it

By Reuters
Richard Mourdock, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Indiana, said in a debate on Tuesday that "even when life begins with that horrible situation of rape, that is something that God intended to happen."

The remark drew criticism from his Democratic opponent, congressman Joe Donnelly, as well as from Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's camp - even as Mourdock defended his words.

During the debate in New Albany, Indiana, Mourdock, Donnelly and Libertarian candidate Andrew Horning were asked about their views on abortion.

"The only exception I have to have an abortion is in that case of the life of the mother," Mourdock said. "I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God and I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape that it is something God intended to happen."


Mourdock, the state treasurer who is a favorite of the conservative Tea Party movement, ousted longtime Senator Richard Lugar in the Republican primary earlier this year. He is locked in a tight race with Donnelly ahead of the November 6 election.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz called Mourdock's comments "outrageous and demeaning to women."

Donnelly said that rape "is a heinous and violent crime in every instance."

"The God I believe in and the God I know most Hoosiers believe in, does not intend for rape to happen — ever," Donnelly said in a statement after the debate, using the nickname for Indiana residents. "What Mr. Mourdock said is shocking, and it is stunning that he would be so disrespectful to survivors of rape."

Romney, who on Monday launched statewide ads endorsing Mourdock, distanced himself on Tuesday from the remark by his fellow Republican. "Governor Romney disagrees with Richard Mourdock's comments, and they do not reflect his views," said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul.

Republicans need a net gain of four seats to gain control of the U.S. Senate from the Democrats, or three if Romney wins the White House. Republicans began 2012 in a strong position, but have suffered some self-inflicted wounds.

In Missouri, Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin prompted an uproar by saying women's bodies have defenses against pregnancy after "legitimate rape," and now trails in his race.

Mourdock issued a statement after the debate that said: "God creates life, and that was my point. God does not want rape, and by no means was I suggesting that He does. Rape is a horrible thing, and for anyone to twist my words otherwise is absurd and sick."

A September Howey-DePauw poll put Donnelly up by 2 percentage points over Mourdock, 40 to 38 percent, with 7 percent for Horning.

Oct 15, 2012
As the presidential campaign heads into its final weeks, the survey of voters in 12 crucial swing states finds female voters much more engaged in the election and increasingly concerned about the deficit and debt issues that favor Romney. The Republican nominee has pulled within one point of the president among women who are likely voters, 48%-49%, and leads by 8 points among men.


Oct 24, 2012
"the Republican nominee now ties the president among women who are likely voters, 48%-48%


Whatever the reason, Democratic pollster Celinda Lake admitted that since his strong performance in the first debate, "In every poll, we've seen a major surge among women in favorability for Romney." According to Ms. Lake, "Women went into the debate actively disliking Romney... came out thinking he might understand their lives and might be able to get something done for them." Presidential prospects for Mitt Romney have only continued to improve after the second and third debates.

Hi sweetbasil. What's your answer to your questions?

Hello again,

Obama- no I won't be voting for him;however, I do believe Romney loss the election a while back. I think Obama might be winning by more than 5% but less than 8% to Romney in the total vote count; however, my instict can easily be totally wrong.

1. Investment in technology and research in the industry so that we can develop new seeds etc. to help farmers.
2. Making it easier for small farmers/ranchers to access capital so that they can buy better and more efficient equipment. This move will require less government involvement and bureaucracy.
3. Expanding our agricultural markets beyond our U.S. borders, and become more diversify in what we grow/raise so that we can meet different types of demands for agricultural products.

As for number 1. What new investment in technology would you have the government make, in addition to the research being done by some of the major players in the private sector? Monsanto, et al. Just wondering.

McCain Keeps Mourdock in the News

Just when Republicans were hoping that everyone would forget Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock's comments that pregnancy following rape is God's will, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) stirred the pot and kept the story alive. On CNN yesterday, he said that his continued support for Mourdock depends on Mourdock's providing a fig leaf by saying he didn't really mean it.

McCain's state is 2000 miles from Indiana and his support or lack thereof probably won't change a single Indiana vote, but having this story in the news for another day reminds women of the Republicans general position on abortion and distracts everyone from Romney's economic message. Romney made an ad endorsing Mourdock that is currently running in Indiana. Romney has come out against rape but has also refused to demand that the ad be pulled. If some pundit had predicted 6 months ago that two Senate seats (Missouri and Indiana) and control of the Senate would be determined by the politics of rape, he would have been declared mad. But here we are.

Who a few years ago would have thought the Republican Party would regress so far into the Dark Ages that they would again be condemning women for being the cause of rape :???: ....
