Republicans Still Not Sure Romney Can Win NH

Red Granite survey: Republican says Romney should take cue from Clint Eastwood: 'Attack!'

 

New Hampshire Republicans remain unconvinced that Mitt Romney can win the state this November: that's the main finding of this week's Red Granite survey of influential New Hampshire Republicans.

What can Romney do to increase his chances of victory in this swing state?

One Republican respondent cited Clint Eastwood's controversial "empty chair" speech at the Republican National Convention. "It was a direct hit on Obama's weaknesses," the New Hampshire Republican said. "Romney should learn from the tactic – maybe not the style – attack!"

In this week's Red Granite survey, 113 Republicans were asked questions using an automated survey tool how they would assess Romney's chances of winning the Granite State now that both conventions are over.

Thirty-seven responses were collected.

Only 43 percent said they are more confident in Romney's ability to win New Hampshire now than they were before the conventions. Seventeen percent said they are actually less confident in Romney's chances, while 40 percent said their opinion hasn't changed.

"It was the most boring convention ever," one Republican influential said.

That's a stark contrast to how New Hampshire Democrats felt after their convention. Ninety-one percent of those responding to a similar survey last week said they were more confident of Obama's ability to win New Hampshire, and not one said they were feeling less confident about Obama's chances post-convention.

We also asked our Republican influentials if they felt Romney gave a strong case for why he should be the next president in his convention speech. Thirty-two percent said they strongly agreed, and 32 percent agreed. Twenty percent said they disagreed, 3 percent said they strongly disagreed, and 12 percent had no opinion at all.

Again, the total of 64 percent who responded positively is far fewer than the 91 percent who either strongly agreed or agreed that Obama made a convincing case for his re-election in last week's poll.

When asked if Romney provided enough specifics in his speech on his goals for the next four years, 57 percent either strongly agreed or agreed. Fourteen percent said they had no opinion, 20 percent said they disagreed, and 9 percent said they strongly disagreed.

Fifty-one percent of those responding said they strongly agreed that Romney showed the American people the key differences between him and Obama during his convention speech. Another 26 percent said they agreed, while 11 percent said they had no opinion. Three percent disagreed and 9 percent strongly disagreed.

Most Republicans responding to the survey also said they felt the RNC provided the party with the momentum needed to turn out the base on Nov. 6. Thirty-one percent said they strongly agreed, and another 31 percent agreed. Nine percent had no opinion, 20 percent disagreed, and 9 percent strongly disagreed.

Eleven percent of those responding to the survey said the conventions will have a significant impact on the outcome of the election, 34 percent said they will have somewhat of an effect, 43 percent said not much of an effect, and 11 percent said no effect at all.

Most cited Paul Ryan's speech and Clint Eastwood's "empty chair" speech as the highlights of the RNC. Others referenced the speeches by Ann Romney, Rand Paul and Condoleezza Rice.

"Clint Eastwood," said one respondent. "But I think many people missed what he was doing. The younger you are, the less you understand the approach and communication with older voters."

Several influential Republicans cited the failure to let Ron Paul speak as the greatest misstep of the convention.

"HUGE misstep to cut out Ron Paul delegates and disenfranchise voters," one respondent said. "Even though I was not a Ron Paul supporter, I am very troubled by the GOP establishment strong-arming the Republican voter."

Another Republican lamented the absence of Sarah Palin and the fact that the Tea Party was mostly kept out of the limelight during the convention.

Most Republicans had a hard time coming up with anything good to say about the Democratic National Convention. But those who did most often referenced Bill Clinton's speech.

When it comes to missteps at the Democratic National Convention, many Republicans cited nominating Obama, while others cited the initial decision to keep God out of the party's platform.

The Red Granite Survey

Our surveys are not a scientific random sample of any larger population but rather an effort to listen to a swath of influential local Republican activists, party leaders and elected officials in New Hampshire. All of these individuals have agreed to participate in the surveys, although not all responded to this week's questions. Surveys were conducted between Sept. 17 and Sept. 20, 2012.

Patch will be conducting Red Granite and Blue Granite surveys throughout 2012 in hopes of determining the true sentiment of Republicans and Democrats on the ground in New Hampshire. If you are an activist, party leader or elected official and would like to take part in a weekly surveys that lasts just a few minutes, please email Regional Editor Marc Fortier at marc.fortier@patch.com.

Both sides skew the polls. It's the old saying, "figures lie and liars figure". So, if both sides are lying about the poll numbers and 90% of the media is under Liberal control, which way are they skewed the most?

"Liberal control"?

The majority of media isn't "liberal," it's corporate. It's about making money - not informing you. That's not to say nothing the corporate media reports on is true - but it's not their main goal.

If you want real "liberal" media, you'd need to turn to independent viewer & listener supported outlets. Otherwise, the corporate advertisers really call the shots.

It's discouraging to hear the "liberal media" BS parroted. Thirty years of daily repetition from Limbaugh, I guess.

Massachusetts is one of the most liberal states in the US. The Michigan polls only proves the Conservative point. The Liberal politicians support the public unions because the public unions support the Liberal polititians. So, you end up with working Americans that don't have pentions paying for the pentions of public employees. By the way, Obama did not "save the auto industry". He bailed out the unions by making thier benifits whole. He did not do the same for the non-union employees. Romney would have put the auto manufacturers through a controlled bankruptcy which would have had better long term results.

Sean, do the math, what do you think the unemployment rate would be if we let the auto and bank industry go bankrupt. It's a high number and guess who would have to pay that unemployment for all those people? That's right, your taxes would go out the roof in a great depression. Thankfully it was a hard decision but a good bet, the auto industry came back and we made 13 billion profit on the bank loans. Sometimes you have to make hard decisions. How do you know what Romney would have done? He used to be pro-choice, pro-environment, pro-gay marriage, he bragged that Obama coppied his health care law and now distances himself like the plague...seriously you want us to believe you that Romney could be trusted to do what he says? So you dislike the unions because you believe teachers, fire fighters and police make too much money? Canada has lots of unions and lots of regulations on business, trading and banks, and they are doing pretty well! You are just spitting out Fox news talking points. http://current.com/community/93843544_fox-news-lies-keep-them-out-of-canada.htm

Good for you Jim, you have some comon sense, yes it's high, but we are adding jobs. Do you think it can be done miraculously when the GOP blocks every job bill and wanted to add to that number with the auto industry and the banks? Can you picture that number? Americans gave Roosevelt four terms to fix a mess, why do you think Obama can do it in two. It's impressive that he was able to add jobs 24 months straight without a negative; I figured we'd get a dip here and there and it would be a bumpy road, but so far so good.

Massachusetts Mike or M & M, not really. With the UNH/WMUR polls because they over sample democrats year after year you can deduct 5 points from their results. That becomes less when you get closer to election day.

With this type of poll, I would not give ANY credibility one way or the other. Plus that old Reagan saying Trust but Verify is impossible. Sorry Mr Fortier.

I'll be surprised if Romney wins any states with his rude and unintelligent statements he's been making week after week. Insults our greatest ally England during their olympics, insults the Palestinians, make unprofessional remark without the facts during our Libia crisis and the loss of an Ambassador and two other Americans who worked there, he insulted 47% of America and described them as moochers and not paying taxes when we all know that many of us pay more taxes than Romney. Not a leader; Romney is simply a radical, non-exposed to society, greedy and uncompassionate man who wants to take health services away from our seniors to make more money for his corporate friends.

We have voter ID in NH now. Much tougher for those from other countries like England and Palestine, who are not US citizens, to vote here now.

Secondly, in first week of office President Obama packed up the gift from England of Churchills bust, that was in the Oval Office for many years, and simply sent it back to the English embassy without any explanation. Additionally, he snubbed the English in his first year by not meeting with them. Traditionally, the first country any President meets with is England. Obama went to Cairo to grovel.

Romney will win in Dixie, in the Red Midwest, and probably most of the intermountain West. You know, all the classical "red" states that take far more from the Federal Government than they return in taxes. You know, "Moochers".

What we need to do now, though, is make sure that Democrats don't become complacent; if the election is close enough to steal (through tactics like True the Vote's voter suppression/voter intimidation), then the Republicans could still win this.

Gallup recently published a poll which showed that Obama's strongest age group of support -- voters 18 to 29 -- strongly favor Obama over Romney, but only 56% say that they will definitely vote. Meanwhile, the older voters -- especially voters 65 and older -- strongly tilt towards Romney, and 86% of these voters say that they will vote.

You are under estimating the power of the seniors who have saved over $700 each on prescriptions this year because Obama closed the doughnut loop hole that Bush installed for our seniors so the pharmaceuticals would make more profits. You also under estimate all the families who had pre-existing conditions and couldn't buy into group health insurances, you under estimate all the gay community who now can marry and serve openly in the millitary, you under estimate all the women who don't believe that if they or any other child/woman is raped, that they shouldn't have access to the morning after rape kit at the ER becasue Romney/Ryan/GOP don't believe in abortions, nor do they want their rapist to have visitation rights to a child they were forced to give birth to; how about all the hispanic community that was harrassed, even if they were legal, in Arizon and Romney said that we should follow that law everywhere.

Democrats are underestimating the power of seniors on Medicare whao are about to have the Medicare Advantage program ended even though the President sais "With the Affordable Health care Act If you like your current insurance then you can keep it".
The also underestimate the power of seniors who are getting a meager 1% interest rate on CD savings they rely on for retirement, thanhs to a Fed policy to print money out of thin air, a policy that the President embraces.
For hispanics, perhaps you missed the Presidents interview on Univision when the Hispanic interviewer called him on the carpet for breaking promises on immigration reform and refused to accept his lame excuse.

I think you meant IRA. So, you want them to invest in the stock market. You want them to invest in the evil Wall Street with no guarentee of return? You do realize that they will only have to pay 15% in taxes on the eranings from their investments. Thats a good thing right, only 15%

Voters are fed up with the most inexperienced and the most incompetent administration EVER since Johnson took over after the Lincoln assassination.
There are literally MILLIONS of Democrats who are now experiencing “buyers remorse” and are totally disenchanted with this present administration and even their party itself because of what has taken place over the past four years, to the point where it has been estimated that as many as one in four Democrats have left the party and changed their political affiliation to that of “Independent” and WILL NOT be voting Democrat this year. And that particular estimate was made BEFORE the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold this administrations forced healthcare bill as the TAX that it is.

All pollsters are using 2008 models of voter turnout. Some are combining '04 and '08 but skewing their samples to '08 numbers. African Americans cast 11 percent of the national vote in '04, but their participation swelled to 13 percent in '08. These 2 million new black voters backed Obama overwhelmingly. Will they come out in such numbers again? Will college and under 30 voters do so as well? Will Latino turnout be at historic highs? All these questions have to be answered "yes" for the polling samples so widely published to be accurate.

For example, when a poll shows an Obama lead among likely voters of, say 47-45, it is based on an assumption that blacks will cast 13 percent of the vote. But the lack of enthusiasm among Obama's base for his candidacy and their doubts about the economy make an 11 percent black turnout more likely. In this event, Romney would actually win in this sample by 46-45.

“Large numbers of people saying that your candidate is going to win is not a good thing. It has a dampening effect on driving your candidate’s vote to turn out. It allows other things in a person’s busy day to become more important because their candidate is going to win anyway.”

Obama and Romney were running neck and neck among likely voters in an Post-ABC poll earlier this month. But among registered voters Obama led by 50 percent to 44 percent. That trend has been apparent in a slew of national polls for months; the more the sample is trimmed to those absolutely planning to vote on Nov. 6, the better Romney performs.

What could you say?
We have created 4.5 million jobs in this country in the last 29 months and it is projected that we will create 12 million more in the next four years.

You could say that interest rates are at historic lows as well has house prices, the market is on the cusp of recovery.

You could say that Mitt Romney's plan to accelerate the creation of debt just to give himself a raise is irresponsible, and President Barack Obama's balanced approach of cuts and a slight tax increase for those in the top tax bracket will work to actually bring down the debt.

Certainly a thinking person would not consider unrest in the Middle East a new problem, but inform them of Romney's plan to ignore the Middle East is a recipe for disaster.

Gasoline prices have been keep far lower that the $4.17 a gallon George Bush had us suffer under.

And yes, America redistributes. President have any plans to end the progressive tax code, He won't stop redistributing to Medicare, He won't stop redistributing to Medicaid, He won't stop redistributing to Social Security, He won't stop redistributing to the Armed Forces, He won't stop redistributing to cancer research, He won't stop redistributing to caring for people with special needs, He won't stop redistributing to support education, etc.

Sonia, is Harry Reid a Democrat? Is Harry Reid the majority leader of the Senate?
Harry Reid blocked the jobs bill in the Senate for political reasons.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/10/05/obama-s-jobs-bill-vote-blocked-by-reid-over-lack-of-democratic-support.html

"Barack Obama continued his sales blitz across the country Tuesday, touting his jobs plan and scolding Republicans in Congress more than once to “pass this bill.”
There was only one rather embarrassing problem: his $447 billion proposal was blocked in the Senate—by his fellow Democrats.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stepped up to stop a vote in the Senate on the president’s measure, which had been requested by an obviously satisfied Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, because both men knew what the president cannot or will not admit— that he does not have enough votes within his own party, let alone from Republicans, to pass the bill he’s been hyping for weeks.
The last-minute move by Reid saved Obama from the immediate embarrassment of losing a battle inside the family, but it highlighted the gulf between Obama and Congressional Democrats, who now operate almost entirely apart from the White House and have, in many cases, decided that supporting their unpopular president today is not worth losing their own jobs next November.

The administration tried to have the film removed from YouTube – but Google rebuffed their request. The State Dept. spent $70,000 on a Pakistani television advertisement rebuking the film. And the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff personally telephoned a Christian minister in Florida to ask him to withdraw his support of the film.

Rep. Michael Grimm (R, C-NY) wants to know why President Obama hasn’t denounced the exhibit "Piss Christ" and said he’s fed up with what he called the administration’s “religious hypocrisy.”

“The Obama administration’s hypocrisy and utter lack of respect for the religious beliefs of Americans has reached an all-time high,” Grimm said. “I call on President Obama to stand up for America’s values and beliefs and denounce the ‘Piss Christ’ that has offended Christians at home and abroad.”

So will the Obama Administration condemn the anti-Christian art display? Will they air a television ad denouncing the exhibit? Will the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ask the gallery to cancel the exhibit?

The White House did not return calls seeking comment. Neither did the Pentagon.

And that's our cowardly, double-faced Muslim president that liberals go ga-ga over.

When the Dreaming Stopped

‘I expect to be judged by results. . . . If stuff hasn’t worked and people don’t feel like I’ve led the country in the right direction, then you’ll have a new president.”

I voted for the wrong guy,” says Nancy, a Democrat from Ohio.

After hearing from 40 independents and Democrats from swing states, the new documentary The Hope and the Change ends with this question: “Can we go through another four years of this?” What would America look like after another four years of squandered opportunities for economic stewardship, and of leadership priorities driven by radical ideology contrary to the much-celebrated unifying tone Barack Obama rode into office on?

It’s a tragic story. A story of people who pinned their hopes and dreams on political rhetoric and have been left not just disappointed but despondent.

Exactly, and we pay a 700% mark up for that service because Blue Cross Blue Shield has to make their 13 billion somewhere! Just like Romneycare, Obamacare will bring down prices, especially once the Affordable Care Act website goes live in 2014, where insurance companies are begging to get on to sell, in order to get a pieces of that large amount of people (group) even if it means a smaller percentage of profit, because the sheer size of the group will bring them tons of $$ in sales and people will get a better deal for their health care services. Everyone's happy! ...well everyone except the top percent of Blue Cross Blue Shield who won't be getting enormous bonuses at the benefit of sick/dying people. Once the website goes live, jobs will no longer have their foot on your neck to keep you working under bad conditions or at a job you hate because you can't risk losing your healthcare. Individuals will now have control and choices about their health care, not their employers. Are you really naive to think that people will get good care after their heart attacks? They practically throw you out the door as soon as possible because they want to open up a bed to make extra money! Also, are you so naive that don't you think that person would be better off with preventative care to prevent going to the ER w a heart attack, or do you think their hearts will be better for it after a heart attack and anything can be fixed?

Great post, Sonia. Too bad it's a losing proposition to over 40% of the population, who finds it easier to understand when you say the word "socialism." It brings to mind the Cold War, James Bond films, and the red scare. Unfortunately, a lot of our population is downright stupid and incapable of critical thinking. It involves reading, researching, and learning, which is just too much effort compared to looking up in their Bibles how old the earth is and whether or not you need healthcare. After all, if you have a heart attack, praying to Jesus is considered perfectly good medicine to a great many people- especially down south, where being ignorant is a badge of honor.

It's just sickening to see people using Christianity to manipulate people into suffering. If you disagree with Republicans, then you don't like Jesus or something. That's how they get them.

Dear Joe, do you mean the great experiences I've had so far with private companies, like being double billed by my hospital after the birth of my child and neither the insurance company and hospital could figure it out? They harassed me and my new baby for 2 years. We finally got a lawyer and they ended up owing us $800 of overpayments we had made. Or do you mean the time that my insurance company kicked out my child's well child visit immunizations? I had to fight over the phone twice for an hour. Or do you mean the time that I took my baby with 106 temperature to the ER and I waited 4 hours to be seen, even though I'm paying top notch incredibly high insurance prices? Oh, and what about the time the insurance company denied us coverage for a medical procedure? Hmmmmm what were you saying again? I love my library: social system. I love the public school my kids go to: social system. I love the road we ride on: social system. I love the service we get from our police and fire department: social system. I love the lights we get on the roads at night: social system. Do you prefer Vouchercare so you can SHOP around when you are too old to even dial the phone, let alone fight with insurance companies the way I do when I'm young/healthy and have the energy?

If being educated and compassionate towards my fellow human beings is considered "the master race," I don't know what to tell you. All I can say is that almost half of America is clinically stupid, revels in it, celebrates it, and a few puppeteers have got you all doing their dance. While they profit off of you, they tell you it's Jesus, they tell you it's America, they tell you it's fair because it's hard work. And it goes on and on, because there are a lot of sub-average people out there that just can't take five minutes of their day and read something. There are a lot of sub-average people out there that sing about Christ and act like selfish, aggressive stains on humanity.

You see, it was never about Christ. It was never about America. It was about me me me. The "me" party. That's why the Republicans got along so well with them.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it's November 6. After all, there is another half of the country willing to move forward.

Joe, tax paid systems, local or not, is socialism to republicans. If you actually got your body out of this country and visited other developped nations around the world, you'd see that they cover everyone at a decent rate and YES, it works. No system is perfect but countries like Canada have seen the benefits of keeping it, especially after seeing Americans go private and so many families lose their shirts over greed and not get the health care they needed even when they had insurance. My sister had liver cancer in Canada, 8% chance of survival within 2 years. They operated. Gave her MRI's every three months. SHE NEVER GOT A BILL IN THE MAIL. She simply showed up, got her care, went back home to focus on healing. No fighting with insurance companies. My grandmother found out she had lung cancer at 79, got seen on Monday by the oncologyst.... I grew up there and had phenominal care! If you have a sore shoulder or knee, something non life threatening, you may have to wait 3-6 months but you are not going to die and you'll NEVER get a bill. The peace of mind,not having to fight for your coverage, not having to make payments to the doctor, radiologist, etc, and not having your budget affected when things are already tight: PRICELESS!!! Travel a little, you'll learn that there is way more than the US system out there.

Allow me to suggest that you read an oldie but goody, "How to Win Friends and Influence People". Your condescending and elitist remarks directed at me, such as "If you actually got your body out of this country..." and "Travel a little, you'll learn...", will not contribute to your efforts to win me over to your cause.

The rubes are wising up to what Mitt's all about...

"Romney's small donor decline

Mitt Romney has a grassroots donor problem.

Romney’s selection of Paul Ryan as his vice presidential candidate was expected to energize small donors, who typically fork over modest amounts of money such as $5, $25 or $100.

But the cash Romney raised from small-dollar contributors went the wrong direction in August, as his campaign committee reported $9.4 million in “unitemized” donations – those $200 or less that don’t require disclosure of identifying information.

That’s a notable drop from July, when the campaign raised nearly $11.8 million in such donations, according to federal records the campaign released Thursday."

Older Americans wising up to Mitt...

Mitt Romney Losing Support Among Older Voters

WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Even before his running mate was booed by a lobbying group for older Americans on Friday, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was losing support among such voters, whose backing is crucial to his hopes of winning the Nov. 6 election.

New polling by Reuters/Ipsos indicates that during the past two weeks - since just after the Democratic National Convention - support for Romney among Americans age 60 and older has crumbled, from a 20-point lead over Democratic President Barack Obama to less than 4 points.

Romney's double-digit advantages among older voters on the issues of healthcare and Medicare - the nation's health insurance program for those over 65 and the disabled - also have evaporated, and Obama has begun to build an advantage in both areas.

Just read these interesting articles in regards to how this will all play out in New Hampshire...

1) Well, we all know that Obama is up in the polls in NH, but here is a breakdown of all the swing states, showing that Obama is up in all except NC (to Romney) and Virginia (dead even). But both of those states also went Obama in the last election: http://www.npr.org/blogs/politicaljunkie/2012/09/24/161241497/as-polls-show-romney-trailing-in-swing-states-obama-edges-towards-270-goal

2) Much more specific to NH is this article on where the Ron Paul voters are going to go and here is a hint...it isn't for Romney: http://www.examiner.com/article/some-new-hampshire-republicans-prefer-a-romney-loss-november

3) If you scroll down the right hand side, you can see that Nate Silver has NH listed as a 75.5% probability of going Obama (read: Romney only has a 24.5% chance of winning NH): http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/

Even more fun on the Nate Silver's 538 page is if you click the "President Now-Cast" (versus the default forecast) and if the election were to happen today, New Hampshire would have a 91.1% probability of going Obama with the inverse being that Romney would only have a 8.9% of winning NH if the election happened today.

Dear Dumpy, Flashy, and just plain JIM,
All you guys have is criticisms, slurs, invective, lies and 3rd grade type arguments that boil down to "Obama is a poopy head, and anyone that ever agrees with a Democrat is a communist".
Unfortunately for the once proud Republican 'Party of Ideas', you represent the consensus of the (R)'s, who have been driven off the deep end to the right by the Tea Party and Grover Norquist.
All you have is "NO!".
I think people are becoming fed up with it, don't you? More and more, the Republican Party is becoming the party of Rush Limbaugh. No ideas anymore, just lies, hate, and "NO!".
Look at the characters in the primaries - a bunch of clowns and Mitt Romney. And Mitt was just the last one left in the clown car! That's the Republican Party?
I think your candidate is losing (and get real, he is losing) because your ideas are losing, because they are bankrupt. You can't just say "NO!", lie, and call people names.
Dumpy, Flashy, and just plain JIM, if you want to see what's REALLY wrong in this country, all you have to do is go look in the mirror.

The entire GOP party is in desperate mode. They can only character attack because they've got nothing to run on, policy wise.

I laugh at most of you and your partners posts and if I feel anything it is pity that people like you and steve have been fooled by the black night and the communists who have taken over the democrat party, your party allegiance is sad ,you cant see the forest through the trees. In your state of denial, you blindly follow a party that has been high jacked by the communist,socialist and marxist in America or in plain words that your simple minds can understand , you blindly stand in allegiance with everything that is un American and have become their tools. Some day when you grow up and the reality's of obamas America hit you it will be to late.

I agree Debra. I've actually met quite a few people with conservative/libertarian leanings who have been smart, articulate, people with whom I've agreed with on many (if not all) issues. We've had beers and actually good, thought-provoking discussions (during which I've learned stuff - a big bonus)! And while there are still a few GOP supporters here on Patch that can comment and debate the topic at hand, there's a core group of anonymous jackholes that can't stick to the issues, overpost, and treat the place like their personal sandbox to play in.

Try to ignore them. My guess is they'll be gone on 11/7.

Mitt Romney and his wife have class and experience with world leaders. Class is something we have lost along the way. Pretty sad for us seniors to leave this world during the next four years and see what has happened at the hands of children we produced. But they never listen to us, do they.??

sorry steve, I passed my copy along for others to see .Deny it all you want but the facts are, no one really knows who fathered the abomination. Its mother was known to sleep around and there are naked pictures of her in the communist frank marshall davis's home, and again you can deny it, but when all three pictures are side by side ,obama Sr, obama Jr and frank marshall davis, obama has more of davis facial features than the man he claims is his father. If someone who knew nothing about obama was shown all three pictures and asked to pick out who they thought was obamas father they would pick davis hands down. We may never know the truth because obama is a serial liar and that is the reason these theories are out there, because nobody knows the truth and they are left to make assumptions. obamas mother might not have even known who the real father was and might have just said it was obama sr ,if you have any real evidence not just hearsay prove them wrong, till then I dont know who to believe the serial liar obama or the people trying to fill in the blanks.

"Proof" is all over the place, but you and your birther friends won't accept anything that doesn't fit with your own insane conspiracy theories.

Don't take my opinion, print them out and show your kids and grandkids the things you write, and see how proud of you they are.

All I said was look at the three pics side by side ,Did you ? no you would rather call someone crazy . Dig a bunker ? for what , to hide from losers like you , I dont think so sunshine. If you have proof that their wrong about anything they said prove it ... but,you or anyone else wont, because you cant ,no one can, because no one actually knows the truth. Its all hearsay from both sides, but its obamas own fault for telling so many lies and half truths . Every ''truth'' obama has told about his life has been picked apart ,why , because its not written in stone and cant be proven to be the truth ,otherwise it wouldn't be in question.

I have a question for you - in what Universe does Fox News skew its polls to favor a Democrat? Sorry - democRAT.
DUMPY (and Mitt, for that matter), the first rule when you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging.
BTW, in case you missed it, the 47% speech has probably finished Romney, but may save the Republican party in the long run - they are going to find someone other than Ayn Rand as a patron saint. FWIW, if the Republican party comes back to the middle I'll probably start voting for some of them again. People like DUMPY who are currently running the Republican party have kept me away for a few years now.

P.S. There is a gaping hole in the unskewed logic - if these polls were skewed like they say, they have always been skewed, so the historical results should never match the predictions of the polls - but they do, pretty closely.
Well maybe more than one - these polls only have one product - unbiased polls. When a poll is seen as being biased, it loses all it's value. So why would a polling company intentionally destroy the value of it's only product?
And if Romney really were up like you say, you wouldn't see him flailing around like a fish on a dock. There were 3 different Romneys on TV the other night - peddling 3 different messages. Trying to recover from self-inflicted wounds.
Anything is possible, Mitt could still end up winning. But by all reasonable measures, it doesn't look like he's got a chance. The '47% of Americans can't take responsibility for their own lives' remark is killing his campaign.

UnSkewedPolls.com is skewed. It makes no earthly sense that every single mainstream polling outfit (even Rasmussen, who as I mentioned before, has shown a substantial swing toward the Democrats) cares more about electing Obama than doing a good job at accurate polling, and then to say they're all working together and *nobody* has gone public is even more ridiculous. If anything, the conservative media is the one keeping *Romney* in the race by constantly ginning up resentment toward Obama to paper over their base's mistrust and lack of satisfaction in their candidate and intimidating mainstream media outlets into saying the election is close even when they know its not.

If you want to argue that the demographic screen the pollsters are using is wrong, go right ahead, but I warn you that the only group more excited about voting this year than Tea Party Conservatives are African Americans.

In the end, what people like Chambers don't realize is that they are acting not out of a position of strength, but of weakness. They might think they are doing their part to energize and mobilize their 1980 Secret Conservative Voter Army, but it really just looks like so much excuse making about why Romney is losing.

Rasmussen 9/28/12:

Forty-three percent (43%) of voters believe a victory for Romney and the Republicans would lead to a stronger economy next year. Thirty-four percent (34%) believe that would happen with an Obama victory and Democratic control of Congress.

Does anyone really believe that the people who think the economy will be better off under Romney will be voting for Obama? C'mon libs, use your noodle. Romney will come out on top election day.

The liberals on here are a riot...pitiful, but a riot to listen to. They seriously believe that the majority of the voters who feel Obama is doing a poor job and Romney would be much better at improving the economy are going to walk into the voting booth on November 6th and vote for Obama. Yeah, right. And all the people that hate broccoli are going to run out this week and buy some for dinner.

"Straight from Rasmussen" says it all. Rassmussen is the one outlier poll (read: no other respected polling company is close to what they are reporting) and they have a history of leaning right and also for being wrong.

http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/04/rasmussen-polls-were-biased-and-inaccurate-quinnipiac-surveyusa-performed-strongly/

So do your own research. We have seen that Rassmusen reports right leaning results, based on shortcut methodologies, and come up incorrect on voting day.

Very quietly, Obama’s chief financier, Penny Pritzker, has entered the Hawaii housing market to buy a retirement home for the president and his family that will be available not in 2016, but in January 2013, according to a confidential source within Pritzker’s Chicago organization

Pritzker, a wealthy Chicago business executive and heiress to the Hyatt Hotels fortune, served as national finance chairman for Obama’s 2008 campaign and is the co-chairman of his 2012 effort.

Highly confidential internal polls conducted by the Obama campaign indicate Obama cannot win re-election, despite public surveys that show him in the lead.

Among those who are registered to vote, 63 percent of those age 18 to 29 say they definitely plan to cast a ballot this year. That’s a 9-percentage-point decline from the same age group at this stage of the 2008 campaign. By contrast, 91 percent of voters age 65 and up — Romney’s strongest age demographic — say they definitely plan to vote. That’s a 4-percentage-point increase from 2008.

When a president is running for re-election, it is inherently a referendum on the incumbent, so if his approval ratings are below 50%, he's in trouble. If a majority disapproves of his performance, that means they are likely to cast their votes for the challenger.

Blacks are so angry over Obama's liberal social views many will likely stay home on Nov. 6th. Jews are awakening to Obama's mistreatment of Israel and are jumping ship. If Obama was so confident of a victory in November, he wouldn't be so flagrantly neglecting his official duties to feverishly campaign.

Promise Broken 85 (17%)
Stalled 46 (9%)
In the Works 108 (21%)
Not yet rated 2 (0%)

Only 17% were broken and the rest have either happened, happened with compromise with Republicans or have been stalled or delayed because of Republicans.

Obama is a complete failure. People are not better off in this country than they were four years ago. If you think they are, you're delusional. People are in poorer shape than they were four years ago. Incomes have declined, unemployment has risen, costs of essentials have risen, we're engaged in more foreign conflicts than we were four years ago, the country's credit rating has dropped twice, national debt has skyrocketed, municipalities and states are going bankrupt and the liberals think these conditions exemplify a great job done by Obama.

192 promises is more than enough. Especially for the millions who needed health care, the soldiers who wanted out of wars and their families, the gay communinity that wanted to serve their country (don't ask, don't tell), he did what he promised and this is why we elected him! Show me some stats on promises kept by George Bush? I got some: I promise to start wars so my buddies at Halliburton and BOE can make millions; I promise to destroy the surplus that was handed to me by Bill Clinton, I promise to borrow 1 billion a day from China to pay for 2 wars, I promise to never be able to speak in public like a person who was educated, or learned how to read and write.
