   I’d say that’s the problem. They do!

   He’ll be as famous as Bob Dole in about a month.

   It seems that the more Americans get to know Mitt, the less Americans like Mitt.

   @ScottPM

   I put up with him as Governor of Massachusetts — I already knew him. And that was enough reason to vote against him; he nearly managed to ruin this state in his one term, and had to take on the Olympics to give him an excuse to avoid losing the re-election.
   And Obama is neither a celebrity or a movie star, so I have no idea what you are referring to. Ronald Reagan?

   ronald raygun was in cahoots with the FBI and j edgar hoover beginning in the 1940’s or even late 30’s. He was a tool to crush the left. While he was president of the screen actors guild in the late 40’s early 50’s he spied on the union movement for the FBI.

   In the absence of definitive plans on how to advance our nation, the media discusses poll numbers as sports casters discuss points in the game. Before the 47% comment, there was still some pressure on the parties to give more information with a heavy emphasis on how if Obama’s polls didn’t get above X while unemployment was over Y…. Now, there is hardly any discussion about taxes and plans and a warning going out to all about what to do to get poll numbers for their candidates fail to reach Z. Set aside the popular vote polls for a moment. If based purely on the Electoral College, what would the outcome be? With states, delegates, and super delegates involved, how do these numbers effect the outcome of the election?
   Will the popular vote even matter?
   Thoughtfully,

   If you care about the details of the polling, then check out Nate Silver’s site, fivethirtyeight.com. If you care about policy Krugman has a good column in the NYT this morning.

    Obama is such a terrible Czar, we should be happy to vote for Elmer Fudd….or whoever….on the GOP ballot.
    The Republican candidate, Romney, cannot do anything but BETTER….whether Americans like him personally or not.
    -
    America cannot endure another 4 years of historic highs in deficits and DEBT, the unemployment/underemployment of 23 million wanna-be workers going on 48 months…..the Food Stamp historic high of recipients….median wages down in real dollars since 2008……the absolute calamity of O’s “foreign policy” of weakness, appeasement and apology……the US aid to Muslim Brotherhood’s Egypt and soon-to-be Muslim Brotherhoods’s Libya, et al….growing, in the face of growing danger to Israel and American Mideast bases….the Syrian War about to expand….Iran and Hezbollah and Hamas and the 40,000 new suicide bombers trained in Iran….we need a President not so friendly to sponsors of Jihadism.

    disgustedtaxpayer said, “America cannot endure another 4 years of historic highs in deficits and DEBT.”

    
    Quite right. And that’s why we must elect Romney, because then, deficits and debt won’t matter any more.

    @NeoconMan

    True that. He’ll use his personal fortune hidden in overseas accounts to pay it off, right? Just like he joined us in Vietnam – oh, wait, he went to France. I was the idiot that got stuck in the rice paddy.
    Perhaps, Ryan’s budget will cut the $40B from the Defense Department public affairs for general officers? Nope. Increases by trillions instead. Meanwhile bridges fall on people in MN but that tea nagger Michelle rants on about the defense cuts.
    Neocons are frickin idiots…

    Is there a Republican in modern memory that tried to balance spending? Republicans cut money for schools, police, and firefighters. Then cut regulations to grift as much as possible before they get run out of town again. The Dow Jones is well over 13,500 today how could anyone decide to go with Paul Ryan’s plan?

    Getting to know Willard: Remember his encounters with actual voters in Iowa? The ones who were his supporters and baked cookies for them? The ones who were ordinary, i.e. not rich?
    -
    He couldn’t WAIT to get away from them. He said their cookies looked like they were from 7 – 11 and he wouldn’t touch them.

    Much, MUCH more comfortable at the Koch house at a fund raiser in the Hamptons.
