keny...."Johnson's 2% would normally go to Romney but that would not eliminate Obama's lead which is 2.5%.".... No keny, thats not what you said...you said Johnson could cost Mr. Romney Ohio so that means if Johnson were not in race Romney could win....why are you a habitual liar? .."*Gary Johnson (L) taking 2% of the vote in Ohio - may cost Romney a victory in Ohio*."....

Can you direct me to ONE article or link that shows Republicans taking advantage of the disabled or mentally ill? Why is it ALWAYS scumbag liberal like you that do this disgusting crap? Concerns raised over possible exploitation of mentally disabled voters Jimmy Green's stepdaughter had never voted before. The 57-year-old is mentally disabled, and Green said she doesn't understand the concept of casting a ballot. But this week, she called her parents to say she had voted for President Obama. The care home in Fayetteville where she lives registered its residents to vote and drove them to the polls, Green said. "My concern is that somebody told her who to vote for," he said. "She didn't even know there's two different parties." Complaints of uncomprehending voters being ferried to cast ballots surface every election. And in a presidential race as close as this year's, with huge levels of early voting, any perceived irregularity is falling under intense scrutiny. fayobserver.com

The Enthusiasm Is All GOP from Power Line by John Hinderaker (John Hinderaker) Intensity, which translates into enthusiasm and therefore turnout, is an important factor in elections. One of President Obama’s fundamental problems is that, while his approval/disapproval ratings have hovered around 50/50 throughout his term, the intensity of those who disapprove of his performance has consistently been greater. We have noted this many times by referring to Scott Rasmussen’s Approval Index, which compares strong approval with strong disapproval. An incumbent who is in negative territory by this measure is likely in trouble. This graph shows Obama’s Approval Index from his inauguration to the present; currently he stands at -11. His strong approval numbers have improved somewhat over the course of the campaign, as Democrats express more loyalty, but note how consistent the strong disapproval has been: This situation, which has existed for nearly all of Obama’s term, is reflected in the many polls that show Republicans are much more enthusiastic about voting this year than Democrats. Since there are about an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, that bodes well for the GOP. The enthusiasm gap, while rarely commented on in the mass media, is reflected on the campaign trail just about every day. Barack Obama and Joe Biden generate relatively small crowds–far smaller than in 2008–and both Obama and his surrogates generally prefer to appear on college campuses, about the only remaining venues where they can hope for an enthusiastic crowd. The opposite is true for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. They draw large, excited crowds pretty much everywhere they go. I was reminded of what it takes to draw a big crowd on the stump when I got an email invitation to Paul Ryan’s appearance in Minnesota on Sunday. The event will take place in an airplane hangar, and, with security requirements, the doors will open a full two hours before the rally is scheduled to begin. I am a “broken glass” voter, but I probably won’t devote my whole Sunday afternoon to getting in and out of a Romney/Ryan rally. The fact that tens of thousands are willing to commit to that kind of time and inconvenience demonstrates how dedicated Republican voters are this year. Today in West Chester, Ohio, a crowd estimated at 25,000 turned out to cheer Mitt Romney. Twitchy has lots of photos, including this one: Via InstaPundit, check out this remarkable panoramic view of the West Chester Rally. Here is a partial screen shot: The enthusiasm gap is one reason why I am optimistic that Michael Barone’s prediction of a Romney victory will prove correct.

Obama's economy added 171,000 jobs last month, but unemployment also rose by 170,000. Big whoop You can prove anything with a statistic--and the new US unemployment rate of 7.9 per cent is no exception. The good news for America and Obama is that the US economy added 171,000 people to payrolls last month. But before we all start singing Happy Days Are Here Again, there is some bad news. The number of those without a job also grew by 170,000, moving the overall unemployment rate up from 7.8 to 7.9 per cent. blogs.telegraph.co.uk
