    Looks like Obama is pulling away from Romney. I think the larger the lead the more we can see silly threads daily started by the usual suspects attacking Obama mindlessy as the usual suspects magically think they are supporting Romney somehow. Get over it guys; for Romney and Ryan it all depends on donations of $500 k or over and how Fox rallies your voters with false issues.

    **********
    At this stage in the campaign, Barack Obama is in a strong position compared with past victorious presidential candidates. With an eight-point lead over Mitt Romney among likely voters, Obama holds a bigger September lead than the last three candidates who went on to win in November, including Obama four years ago. In elections since 1988, only Bill Clinton, in 1992 and 1996, entered the fall with a larger advantage

    Pretty soon the RNC and Super Pacs monies will be going down to the down ballot races. Stick a fork on Mitt, just too many gaffes for a candidate who was not likeable by many, including many a republican.

    Republicans ####ed up when they nominated Gordon Gecko, and Gecko
    made it worse by putting his own mini me on the ticket.

    I guarantee you Obama won't win by 8% when the vote is taken unless Romney has a couple more big gaffes up his sleeve.

    Popular vote - less than 8%, Electoral college - more than 8%.

    Yes, unemployment. Of course, that is a dramatic improvement over the 10% that Bush saddled Obama with in the first place, but feel free to ignore that part of the equation.

    I cannot fathom why you Liberals are so in love with Obama. People stating they cannot "Wait to Vote!" for him? WTF? Seriously, you guys need your heads checked.

    Well this is the slap in the face the Republican party needs. Hopefully they can nominate a real candidate in 2016.

    Unemployment rate in January 2009 was 7.8%. It didn't reach 10% until October 2009 (at least according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics).

    George W. Bush's catastrophic disaster of a presidency turned the disgraced Bill Clinton into a national hero. Mitt Romney's candidacy has transformed Barack Obama from Jimmy Carter to George Washington.

    Actually if it was governor Mitten, I could easily vote for him. However, candidate Mitten is a totally different story. I don't think president Obama is doing a great job, he is doing an OK job as far as I am concerned, but Mitten have gone off the far end to join the tea party that there is no way I am going to vote for him.

    Yes, the economy was shedding 750,000 jobs PER MONTH when Obama took over. That can hardly be blamed on Obama, that is unless you are a blind, Obama hating partisan.

    So far it's looking like a majority of the country disagrees with you.

    Who was in office when it reached that point.
