CNN had pie charts with four segments: Obama, Romney, Obama Paks, Romney Paks. The Obama segments were over half the pie.

There's a few repub congressmen that are vulnerable. Dan Lungren for one.
Erin Burnett tearing Obama's words and plan to bits on CNN right now. I thought CNN was meant to have a liberal biased?
Feinstein's not in the least bit of trouble. He's stumping for some SoCal house races.
CNN's bias is to try to position themselves halfway between the center-left Democrats and the nutjob Republicans. The end result is that they end up half-nutty.
Gallup's registered voter poll probably fits quite well with the job approval poll. Their likely voter screen seems to be conjured up by a chimp on acid.
Bizarrely enough, that seems to not be true... 58% support attacking Iran, 44% strongly support it

The Romney campaign has enough money to go on the attack.
In fact this is the first campaign that Obama is nearly matched in terms of fundraising. It also probably explains why it's so tight.

Well, if I were Pakistan, I'd probably not support the guy who'd been drone-striking the feck out of me, too.
Not that Romney wouldn't, but, y'know, the guy who hasn't punched you in the face yet > the guy who has.
The Romney and Republican Super-Pacs have outraised Obama's by a huge margin, but Obama has again done much much better from grass-roots supporters who average $250 donations. The flip side is that not all the Super-Pac money is under the control of Romey's campaign, the Republican Party can spend it as it chooses (Congressional, district-level races etc).
Second, the cost of TV ads for Super-Pacs is far higher than for candidates and their campaigns. Plus which, the Romney Super-Pacs have inexplicably waited till very late in the campaign to book their slots, ending up paying an even higher rate. (Yeah, the super-businessman who knows how to manage a budget!) All told, even though they have a big money advantage, they don't really have a money advantage...
I read on two different sites that if we break down the gallup poll by regions, Obama is ahead an average of 5/7 points in all regions except the South where Romney is ahead 22 pts. Is it true?
Nah he's got the plains and the mountain North too, like Republicans always do.
Gallup being an outlier is not something new. People here are paying too much attention to it.

Only because it suits their agenda.
This comes a day after an ad featuring Romney in support of Mourdock began airing.
Isn't Erin Burnett fecking a wall street executive?
She has a serious vested interest in seeing Romney win.
She is engaged to a Citigroup executive and has prior work as a financial analyst for Goldman Sachs, according to wiki. She's come across to me as a democrat supporter during the election. However, wiki lists her previous controversies and one was an apparent slam on the Occupy Wall Street protestors.

Supposedly Donald Trump's big announcement is that he has copies of the divorce papers Michelle Obama once filed against President Obama, though a few years before he become President. Not sure what the turd thinks this will prove. I mean what marriages do not go through some rough spots. Heck we have had Presidents who had been divorced and remarried.
I guess Donald just needs to have some spot light on him and he can not think of anything actually interesting to do.
Effect this announcement will have on the election? Well of course, none at all.

Pretty sure Michelle Obama has already said that their marriage was going through a rough period a few years before he became President anyway. Bit of a non-story
Donald Trump clearly suffers from AADD.
I have always found her convincing on TV, mainly because of those eyes.
She made some good points last night though. Much of Obama's plan has the same financial holes and missing info that Mittens plan has.I hope the Obama camp take Richard Murdock comments on abortion and run with them...fecking twat.
It was true last week, not sure about now, but I don't think that's what's causing the slump in the national polls (sub-samples are also less accurate anyway). Nate Cohn wrote a good piece on this, saying that more support has actually gone in the north-east which might be having a bigger effect to the national Obama numbers. Either way, the current picture is that the race seems tied nationally, with Obama holding the edge in key states.
Interesting piece from CNN.com on the media and the campaign. The issues he brings up are not really new, but there is a good deal of truth to them. Of course the media is not entirely to blame for this obviously the compaigns themselves are quick to try and use these to their benefit also.

yeah I remember the 'Seriously??!?' controversy. She acted incredibly unprofessionally, and with a 'serious' conflict of interest on that issue.
I'd still shag her (Burnett) raw.
You are a true democrat.
I prefer the term manwhore.You are a true democrat.
She is fecking unbelievably doable..those eyes.
I'd bang Coulter as well, as long as she doesn't have a dick. I'd probably blast her in the eyes and spew some political facts as she cleans up our mess.
I could never do Greta....she's fecking awful.
Citigroup Exec's and CNBC chciks have a little bit of a thing going on. Todd Thomson (ex CFO) stood down after flying Maria Bartiromo to Europe on the company jet for a dirty weekend.
this thread. All you have to do is mention a pretty lady and all the serious discussion goes and everyone's just a horndog.
but yeah, Burnett is very attractive.
There's something about her eyes that makes me want to buy her Kraft Dinner.
Turns out the Trump announcement was saying that if Obama doesn't release his birth certificate and passport details, he won't donate $5m to charity Jesus, Trump is pathetic.
Donald...you disgusting rug wearing retard lol
