Romney Opens Commanding Lead in Fla.
 
We will see what the other polls say that come out the next few days, but according to this new poll, Romney has opened up a pretty big lead in Florida, 51-44.

The betting-line has dropped slightly lower. Intrade is now giving Obama a 61.6% chance of winning. In sports-line terminolgy, that makes Obama about a -160 favorite.

Suffolk polling .... LOL. Yes, Romney is crushing Obama in the Latino vote.

Polls are daily snapshots with margins of error and sampling biases. For example, these other polls from today:

* OHIO: Obama 51%, Romney 45% -- Romney +2% since 10 days ago (NBC/WSJ)
* OHIO: Obama 48%, Romney 47% -- No change since 1 week ago (Rasmussen)
* FLORIDA: Obama 48%, Romney 47% -- No change from previous poll (NBC/WSJ)
* VIRGINIA: Romney 48%, Obama 47% -- Romney +3% since 10 days ago (NBC/WSJ)
* VIRGINIA: Obama 51%, Romney 46% -- Obama +1% since 3 weeks ago (Quinnipiac)
* COLORADO: Romney 48%, Obama 47% -- Romney +2% since 3 weeks ago (Quinnipiac)
* WISCONSIN: Obama 50%, Romney 47% -- Romney +3% since 3 weeks ago (Quinnipiac)
* NORTH CAROLINA: Romney 51%, Obama 48% -- Obama +1% since 1 week ago (Rasmussen)
* NEVADA: Obama 47%, Romney 45% -- No previous poll (Suffolk)

It just goes to show you that you can never put too much faith in any one poll.

'Barack Obama's presidency has now coincided with four straight $1 trillion-plus annual budget deficits -- the first in history'




.....but i'm sure the prez was honest when he said he'd cut the deficit in half. perhaps he didn't actually understand what he was saying?


oh, wait....wait...i forgot the SOP for bad news.

DAMN YOU GEORGE BUSH

No credit from you for Obama actually cutting the deficit by billions, huh? For cutting the deficit more each year he was in office?

Anything?

No?

I see.

Oh - so starting with a massive over a trillion deficit - unpaid for - in a recession (which means no tax income) doesn't count for anything in your eyes?

Obama starting with a deficit that was 10.1% of GDP and cutting it down to 7% of GDP means nothing, because he didn't cut it cut to 5% of GDP?

Are you serious?

Obama cutting our federal deficit by 3% of GDP in only three years, in a recession, fails to impress you? Federal spending cut to the lowest level since Reagan? Done with absolutely zero increase in new revenue sources due to complete blockage of that by Republicans?

Are you serious?

What fantasy world do you live in where that is deserving of scorn and dismissal?

The betting line keeps trickling down. At Intrade Obama is now down to a 60% chance of winning. That translates to a sports line of -150.

Coach Pants 10-13-2012 12:16 PM

The betting line and the realization that Corzine is going to get away with stealing and the NFL got away with stealing...

it wouldn't surprise me one bit that Romney wins in a landslide. And the stealing will continue. I know someone who put 5 dimes on Obama. Sh.it his pants after the first debate.

The line is even lower today. Obama is now at 59% at Intrade, which equals -145.

What kind of odds did your friend lay? It must have been somewhere around -300.
