Swing it, State
Posted: May 8, 2012
7 points in Ohio. A key swing state admittedly filled with lots of subnormals. Even if Romniac choses Rob Portman (an Ohioania) as his VP, Obama still beats the stilts offa him.

Subnormals? - Zville MT
[ In Reply To ..]I would ask that you refrain from insulting those of us from Ohio. A point can be made without some sort of verbal attack a person or persons.
a pollster technie term - not an insult

Okay, then I have to ask... - Zville MT
[ In Reply To ..]what exactly is a subnormal? I don't pay much attention to polls, so I've never heard that term.
Its 4 points. I am in Ohio, and Obama campaigns - here constantly, yet cant fill seats.
[ In Reply To ..]This state is a mess, and it is hard to believe anyone here would vote for O, unless they are simply moochers trying to find a rich guy to steal from..
It was 7 points - KMFA
[ In Reply To ..]The talking point about not being able to fill seats ignores the fact that Obama comes to Ohio about every 4 weeks. Many of us have already attended rallies. It takes hours of standing in line, dealing with mobs of people. Afterwards you have the nightmare of traffic. Seeing him at a rally twice was a lot of fun. I don't need to xperience the above again to see a tiny speck in the distance waving his arms. I can hear his speech on the TV. Have not lost my allegiance to the president.
postscript - I watched the presidential
[ In Reply To ..]entourage (cops on cycles in the lead, then several black limos, more cops) pass right by my house. Awesome!
You have not lost your "allegiance" to Obama? - Good for you.. I sure have lost it!!
[ In Reply To ..]What exactly has he done to improve anything in this country? I made the mistake of voting for him in Ohio... wont happen next time.
Exactly. Obama comes to OH "every 4 weeks" - instead of being president.
[ In Reply To ..]Obama is a good campaigner and a lousy president and leader.
part of the job - baby
[ In Reply To ..]part of the job
Um, only 500 to showed up for Mitt's Ohio town hall - as opposed to
[ In Reply To ..]15,000 at the OSU Obama rally....a margin of 30:1. A little perspective is always helpful. Painting a full picture and telling both sides of a story is essential when trying to get at the truth so one can draw sound conclusions.

Duh! It was a town hall... quite different. - You are right, tell BOTH sides.nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Duh x2. He does town halls cuz he cant fill stadiums. - Lessons from Detroit debacle.
[ In Reply To ..]Here's what a Romney stadium event looks like. You can barely see the 1200 folks that showed up for all the empty space, both on the field and in the bleachers.
Here's what Obama's OSU rally looked like by comparison. Of the 18,000+ capacity, 15,000 seats were filled (some reports say 14,000+).
According to David Axelrod, whose job it is to know what's going on with the Romney campaign, the largest attendance Romney has been able to muster at any of his events thus far has been "nearly 3000" in Denver back in February, which he attributes to the location's high Mormon population.
This really should come as no surprise. It's what happens when you have megabucks pouring in from huge donations from the few well-endowed 1%ers versus many small donations coming in from the struggling 99%ers. At least that's what seems to be reflected at these stump stops. Obama is also holding his own when it comes to the megabucks events. As of the end of March, Obama had raised 10 times more money than Romney. The third link shows a fascinating breakdown of donor demographics. In the under $200 category, Obama gets 57% vs Romneys 13%. At the over $2500 level, Obama gets 19% vs Romney's 53%.
Money talks but it doesn't vote.

Double-digit Obamacare premium hikes projected in 2017 may bode in Donald Trump’s favor, as several swing states are being impacted by double-digit increases under the law and consumers are expected to see the hikes around Nov. 1 — one week before heading to the polls.

Some say the way she would do that is through raising taxes. “Any reports of premium increases will ...
