Obama up 5 in Ohio according to Time, 60-30 in early votes.

GOP poll truthers out complaining about party alignment skew again, I've missed that.

Not a single poll predicting Romney winning in Ohio.

Dire for him.
I called it weeks ago. Ohio is the key.

You can't totally rule out a surprise on the night though. Democratic voter enthusiasm is still trailing the GOP's by over 10%, which could cause a swing when the real voting begins.

Source? Nate II mentioned it being 88% to 83% for Repubs just a few days ago.

And a big part of the Obama campaign is turning more registered voters into actual voters, something which early voting helps and is why the Obama campaign is all over it.

Romney needs a miracle.


Assuming that Romney wins Co, Va, and Fl (big big ifs as these are toss-ups)

He's not leading in enough states to overcome the problem of Ohio. The only real way around this is to win Wisconsin and NH but that's even more unlikely that ohio.

I wouldn't go as far to say a miracle, but Obama's in the better position and Romney needs something to change quickly.

Its a miracle Romney is even in the race. Shocked he was the nominee and four weeks ago he looked unelectable. The Paks started withdrawing to save money for the 2016 election prior to the first debate. NOW we have another two weeks of fecking avderts. :mad:

There is truth to this.

I'm surprised it's so close. It's all very exciting from my perspective.

It's exciting in the same way that being chased by a hungry lion is.

So Trump and Biden are battling it out to see who can be the biggest plonker of the day.

There was talk at one point that Trump would enter the race to become Republican nominee, might he have been even more of a gaffe machine than Romney?

Maybe someone tricked him into saying Ohioiowaohioiowaohioiowaohioiowa before he went on. I tried it myself now and ended up very confused.

Fantastic work by Jon Stewart calling Romney out for copying Obama's foreign policy after months of saying it was the weakest in US history, then saying the difference between the two is his 'leadership' skills.

Saying that Obama's foreign policy is the "weakest ever" is such absurd, childish, hyberbolic bullshit I don't even know where to start. American politics at its worst.

I found the mock debate where Mandvi poses as Romney even funnier.
