Obama still sinking, momentum is towards Romney

Obama still sinking, momentum is towards Romney. The magic number is 47%… no, not the 47% from that stupid video but the 47% of the vote Obama seems to be stuck at in important swing states. If Il Doo-Che ain’t above 50% after 4 years of hopeless change, he ain’t gonna get there in the last 2 days.

  • I have a dream, that all eligible voters will come together in harmony and build a better future by replacing Barak Hussein Obama (C) (commie), with Mitt (Mormon) Romney (R) on November 6th, 2012. In this dream BHO slinks back to his bungalo somewhere in Nairobi, Kenya. (Maybe he can move in with his brother).

    • May Sherrod Brown (D) Oiho take a personal interest in, and make it his last act in the US Senate to personally solve your conundrum in a way that only he can.

          Not to impugn the real Vlad, Flash's majestic steed. He promised me when I ever made it back out there he'd show me the nuances of an ocean kayak, without letting me drown or taking video (stills I had to agree to, it's his passion)

          Rural/urban/Gypsy legend has it the other Vlad is still hanging out somewhere to this day...

          • Not to mention Mannix, Longstreet, Cannon and Barnaby Jones. (and Petticoat Junction & Green Acres, now you're wondering what warped my childhood ;) )

          • Still having brain cramps, been rattling around in my head; what was the name of the tv show w/ the guy in a rumpled raincoat & hat (not Columbo) who was chasing vampires I watched way back when? Driving me nuts.

          • That's it! Thanks. Heard the name and knew it, gotta check imdb & crackle, see if there are any freebies out there while I wait for Tuesday.

          • I know you used to do Hulu, but Imdb has a huge library of old shows too, http://www.tvland.com/shows/gunsmoke/full-episodes/the-good-people, with CC right there easy to turn on\off on the control panel and full screen. (always wanted to ask you about the Korean soaps? you used to talk about, afraid I'd get hooked).

            They have some full length movies and a lot of interesting Indie shorts if you can wade through the bs to find them.

            I like Crackle too, besides being free :) , the way I sleep (or not) they have decent movies and some old tv that fit my sched. instead of starting in the middle @ 3am on cable.

          • i don't like ganja-smoke because, too much '50's era indoctrination
            they wanted to fool children into think miss kitty was just a nice lady and not a skanky old $2 whore.
            the acting was sub-par, as well as the staging.
            burt reynolds.

            i'm having to rely on basic hulu but it's mostly crap, I wasn't aware imdb had movies i could watch on site.
            crackle's good.
            The Duo, a very good korean television series, with a very fine actor: Lee Moon-sik
            that's on Hulu, but it may be hulu plus.

  • Look at the internals of the campaigns. See where they are and you will know what is up. Romney has gone into PA tonight. He packed them in in Ohio, he and Ryan have been in Wisconsin and Virginia. As the story below states when people get up in the middle of your speech and head for the exits in a battle ground state. That is not a good sign.

    I saw a story where blow hard Jim Crammer was calling a barry landslide in the electoral college. Having watched his show and used his services for a short period of time (no help at all, lost money) he is currying favor with Jarrett just in case.

    • If Obama wasn't concerned about Pa he would not be sending Bill Clinton to Scranton on Monday night. Pa is in play, as are all the swing states. The media won't tell you that, but it's the truth.

    • Look at the polls. The only way Obama comes out ahead is Dem + 4, 6, 8 or whatever over sampling it takes.

  • This sounds so good, and yet I got an email (see below) from John Ziegler, that fellow who produced the video about how the media so viciously attack Palin. What do you think?

    I just wanted to touch base with you before the election. I have written a column connecting the Media Malpractice of 2008 to that of 2012 and why, unfortunately, I believe that President Obama is a heavy favorite to win the electoral college.
    This election could have and should have been won, but the media just wouldn't allow it and the Romney campaign miscaluated when they wimped out in the last debate.
    I wish I had better news.

    All the best,
