So the Pubbies’ plan to get Obama to do bath salts and eat Boehner’s face isn’t working?
Anduril, you need to get on that. Call your girl Hilary and talk some sense into her.
And the Nov. 6 forecast is at 85.7 - 14.3. IOW, Romney’s down to having one chance in seven of winning.
Ooh, that’s gonna leave a mark…
Black people like grape. Not orange.
I have no opinion as to the OP, but would hasten to remind that if you are ordering dancing shoes from Amazon, you might be well advised to put in your order soonest.
As a consolation prize, Mitt can have a set of dancing horseshoes.
Are you better off today than Mitt’s horse was four years ago?
But yesterday Romney’s was at 1.9% chance, so in one day he has gone up 13%!! Maybe Fox News should run a headline.
RCP has Obama with at least 269 electoral votes “leaning Democrat”
I’m not sure why Nevada is not considered “leaning Democrat” I thought 5% was teh cutoff for that metric.
The fancy Olympics one or the one they had to drug up to make it look good enough to sell?
I dunno. A lot can happen in a month. Then I read statements like this:
Really? “Introducing him to the country”? Isn’t it a little late for that? Shouldn’t he have done that months ago, so Obama’s Bain attacks would have a more difficult time taking hold?
Does his campaign really think that he’s an unknown factor up to now? Perhaps they think the image he’s been given (by himself and his opponents Democratic and Republican) are false? If so, shouldn’t they have tried to counter it a LONG time ago?
I thought he got introduced again at the convention. And that great Reality TV show the Republican Debates should have done it.
Reminds me of a mother trying to push a girl on her son: "Give her one more chance, she got a great personality.
Link to that last one? As a former horse owner, I want to know more!
We had this thread here.
More problematic might be the “Everybody’s watching” belief. A decent sized audience watches the debates, but it is also made up highly of partisans, folks who have already decided.
Well, Mitt’s doing his best to settle the matter once and for all:
Still too soon to say Mitt’s toast. A terrible debate performance by Obama, or a terrible and unpredictable event such as a major terrorist attack or economic setback, could seriously shake up the race. If current trends continue, though, I’m more and more confident that the President will be reelected.
Seems they somewhat misreported it:
Staying away from the question of whether $17K is too high, too low, or just right, a cap on total deductions makes a lot of sense to me. The rest of his tax plan is crap, but this is a genuinely good idea.
No, it isn’t. It’s simply an attempt to soak the middle class to pay for the top-bracket rate cuts without even having the honesty to admit it up front.
Unless the Democrats are utterly incompetent at messages (which they aren’t this time, for a change), an attempt to limit middle-class taxpayers to a deduction cap equal to the break Mitt gets on his dancing horse’s ass* (which, as a “business expense” would be unaffected by Mitt’s cap proposal) isn’t going to go over at all well.
*Figuring that $17000/$77731, or about 22%, is a reasonable estimate for the ass-to-entire-horse ratio
Oh jeez.
I said, the rest of his tax plan was crap.
Maybe it wasn’t clear, but I was discussing this idea by itself. It certainly doesn’t un-crap the rest of his tax plan.
