I think you mean past election. Singular. The only presidential election he was correct on was ‘08. One right answer doesn’t make a streak. The thing about Silver this year is that every single legit poll show the national race tight and the important swing states tight. D registration and early voting is OFF from ‘08. Yet Silver gives Obama astronomical odds of winning. To an honest person it just doesn’t ring true. If it was closer to even 55% in favor it would have more credibility to more people. Even liberal polling companies like PPP have it tight everywhere important.

“at this point”?

If its delayed, fair, or unfair, it has Nixon overtones.  It has nothing to do with inefficiency because I can’t remember when the report did not come out right on schedule before under any recent president, D or R.

I’ve seen the video. I didn’t hear the word “outsource” once. The ad says Jeep is making cars in China. That is 100% true. Whether those Jeeps will be for U.S. or international consumption isn’t the point. The point is why isn’t Chrysler reopening a shuttered plant and using laid of workers INSTEAD of making these in China?

SMH..no my head is exploding. The guy is asking for people to donate to relief efforts. a) it’s the decent thing to do. b) If it didn’t you’d be complaining about that too. Amazing you vendictive some of you are that you’d deny people relief just to be able to clobber an opponent with.  People we are still all Americans regardless the outcome of the election. Remember that.

Look, we just had debate where they question was asked why don’t U.S. companies make products in the U.S. Obama stated in those debates we need to encourage U.S. manufacturing. Now a U.S. company he practically gave way is making product in China. So it’s a legit question to ask why Jeep isn’t making extra product here for export elsewhere instead of setting up shop in China. Its not like we don’t have an excess labor pool these days (fancy way to say lots of unemployed people).

@fredomclfy didn’t say Romney is not always campaigning. Of course he is. So is Obama. They are running for Prez of U.S. Point is Romney’s campaign isn’t directly helped by donating a bus to NYC with relief supplies. Romney isn’t winning NY or any NE state, save maybe NH. I doubt the media is going to highlight the Romney bus.  BUT regardless AGAIN… these supplies directly help people and take resources FROM the Romney campaign. The money to the prog group goes only to help candidate that have big war chests already AND also in areas where the very people they are trying to get to vote are in peril. They seem to care more about their vote than there safety. It’s a lot more callous approach.  Consider this: if the above letter had a Romney or Romney supported group on the letterhead. You’d then abhor it. So would I. That’s the difference.

@fredomcfly I think Romney is quite authentic in saying Obama’s plans have not worked & will not work. Also Obama failed to push an economic growth program when he had a D House and filibuster-proof Senate or to compromise when the Rs took the House.  He and Harry Reid haven’t tried to get a budget passed in 2 years. I’d say that’s a “no show” president. We need better.

Romney’s efforts help actual people & campaign loses a bus that could be used for campaigning to get vote out. Also Romney is not playing up the fact they donated a bus & supplies. Few will hear about it & doubt its going to swing votes in the NE. Prog group’s efforts help no one other than itself. Warren has loads of cash as do most of the other “prog” candidates in tight races. Spin it anyway you like but bottom line. Both may be looking for votes but only Romney’s actions directly help people, regardless of how they’ll vote, or if.

Heh. “Show,” is a very apropos work to describe Obama’s “commander-in-chiefness.” It’s kind of like when the car salesperson tries to convince you the pleather seats have a terrific “leathery” feel.
