Obama vs. Bush 43

Lets Get Real:

This is a VERY odd TV advert from the Obama Camp.   They seem to be re - fighting the 2000 Campaign. One has to say POTUS has a thing about Bush 43, any problem and its the fault of the Bush years.  The Chicago Obama team must be worried about Ohio, they must have internal polls that show a very close race.  The voter on main Street might think that its funny or that that Obama has gone a bit crazy.  2000 was 12 years ago folks.  Last time this blog looked POTUS could not time travel!.  A very odd advert folks. 

Deaths in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that today in Afghanistan the UK lost two of its Armed Forces Personnel, they were, " A Royal Marine from 40 Commando Royal Marines and a soldier from 3 Medical Regiment ".  Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 435 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 392 in combat/hostile action, while 43 have died due to illness, accidents or other incidents.  

Obama and Libya - Libyagate

Guardian Live - US Election: Reports the following White House reaction to the news last night that the White House was informed at the time of the Libyan attacks that the US Consulate was under terrorist attack, the article notes the following, " ..the White House rejected the notion that the emails contradicted the Obama administration's public statements about the attacks. ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks, there must be something in the Chicago water, it seem to the Chicago political mob if you tell a lie   a hundred times it makes it real.  The Obama White House has been caught in a COVER UP.   The terrorist attack on the US Consulate in Libya came just after the DNC, it blew the image that Al Qaeda was finished out of the water.   Thus days of double speak by the the Oval and the Administration.   The Chicago Water must create delusions, who else would accept a Noble Prize for doing nothing, that says it all folks. 

Eastwood on Obama/ Romney Super Pac

Lets Get Real:

Does Dirty Harry or the Man with No Name still have political effect, lets see if Mr Eastwood's words have some effect in the Ohio.   Good advert, nice to see Dirty Harry telling the US Voter the unvarnished truth about the State of the US. 

Ohio - New Poll

Rasmussen Reports: Has a new Ohio Poll, this was taken after the the final debate between President Obama and Governor Romney, in this poll they are tied at 48%. 

Lets Get Real:

Thus it comes down to ground game folks, the Democrats have gotten their early voters out, the Republicans have improved their operation, its down to planning now folks, can the Democrats and the Unions get their people to the polls, its is the same with the Republicans and their Super Pacs.   Both political operations will be thinking about Ohio, Ohio and Ohio.   Of course on election night it could be a red or blue State that causes a surprise, all this focus on Ohio might be missing the point, that is why election nights are fun folks. 

Romney vs. Obama - 2012 Race - The Polls

Folks, lets have a look at the weekend Polls for the 2012 US Presidential Election.

These are Polls of likely voters.

Rasmussen Reports: In its daily tracking poll it finds that Governor Romney leads President Obama by 50% to 46%, a 4% lead. 

Gallup: Reports in its daily tracking poll that Governor Romney leads President Obama by 50% to 47%.  A 3% lead. 

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks, Romney in two national daily tracking polls has a lead of between 3% and 4%, as long as President Obama can keep his firewall of Ohio then he will get a 2nd term.    The major change for both sides was the 1st Presidential Debate, Romney was the clear winner, Obama in that debate looked like he wanted to be any place else, in the two following debates Obama came out fighting, even MEAN, but so far the polls have not shown a Obama bounce.  This blog is still keeping to its prediction that Obama will get a 2nd term, but it could be like 2000 folks, while Romney gets the popular vote the electoral college goes to POTUS.   That would be an upset folks, but that is the fun of politics.
