New poll shows Obama, Romney in dead heat |
2012-04-19 |
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Republican challenger Mitt Romney ...whose real first name is actually, no kidding, Willard, was governor of Massachussetts and is currently the front-runner for president on the Publican ticket. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney's foot is in an ideological bucket because of Romneycare, a state-level experiment that should have been a warning against Obamacare if anyone had been paying attention. Romney's charisma is best defined as soporific, which is probably why he is leading the Publican field... has closed the gap with US President Barack Obama Ready to Rule from Day One... and the two are now neck and neck in the White House race, a poll released Wednesday shows. Romney, the party's presumptive nominee now that his main Republican rival has folded up his campaign, matched Obama 46-46 percent among registered voters who were asked in a CBS News/New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... poll who they would vote for if the election were today. Last month, a survey by the same media outlets showed Obama with a 47-44 advantage. |

#12 I did some soul searching, and caucused for Mitt Romney here in Nevada. I even gave a speach supporting him. I didn't have to - everybody knew he would take the state - but I felt it was necissary, and I'll tell all of you why. Obama has been terrible for the country, and that's an objective fact. Mitt will do a better job as president. His presidency will be less harmful to all of us. He can also beat Obama in a national election, and has the money and organization to do it. It's as simple as that. I'm not saying that Romeny will win. He could very well loose. But Santorum, Gingrich, and Paul were never going to beat Obama, and I think most of you know that. So you put on the long pants and make the hard choices. |

#10 What if Tweedledee decides TweedledeeCare would be good for the nation? The states have the power to do that. The Feds don't. I don't disagree with Romney trying it for MA. If it had worked well, then great! If it failed miserably, then great! Those states who are paying attention can learn the lessons and copy, decline, or modify and carry on. That is the nature of friendly competition. We all learn what is best from watching each other. Now if the Feds get involved, there is no competition, and that is not good for America. That for me is where the line is drawn. Obean when over the line because he doesn't get the nature of competition and capitalism. |

#9 Although the VP slot is rumored not to be worth a bucket of warm spit, it'll be interesting to see who he picks. I'm hearing whispers that the bucket of warm spit recipient will be Rand Paul. |

#7 It would be nice to have someone more conservative but I'll pull the lever for Romney. Not because I'm voting for him but because I'm voting against the current disgrace in the WH. Although the VP slot is rumored not to be worth a bucket of warm spit, it'll be interesting to see who he picks. |

#6 After watching what happened to Obama in the polls after Healthcare went through? From a political survival sense alone he'd never agree to keep healthcare. |

#5 Uh, yeahhhh. That's what worries me...or at least part of it. Another part is I just plain don't believe him when he says he's gonna crack down on illegal immigration...just plain don't believe a lot of things. Experience has taught me not to. |

#3 As long as Tweedledumb and his stupid healthcare takeover and other socialist utopian ideas goes away, I'll be feeling better. |
