Think again. In a few months it could be President Romney

[mamba]

Start with two numbers that are horrible for Obama. The first is his poll rating, which remains stubbornly below 50%. History suggests that incumbent presidents unable to break the 50% barrier at this stage end up serving just one term. The second figure, which goes a long way to explaining the first, is the statistic that puts US unemployment at 8.3%. Joblessness has not stood below 8% since the month Obama took office. Again, the historical record is brutal on sitting presidents seeking re-election against such a bleak economic backdrop. The last one to pull it off was Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1936.

Viewed like that, the fact that Obama is even in a statistical dead-heat with Romney nationally is quite an achievement. It has come thanks in part to an aerial bombardment of TV advertising by the Obama campaign in decisive states, consisting mainly of 30-second attacks on Romney, depicting him as a corporate vulture who won't tell the truth about how much tax he pays. That such a heavy assault has only managed to result in stalemate illustrates the gravity of the president's situation.

What's more, a serious Romney counter-attack is on the way. Under the rules of campaign finance, the Republican only gained access to his full war-chest on Thursday night, when he became his party's formal nominee. Unusually for a challenger, he is comprehensively out-fundraising Obama, pulling in more than $200m in June and July alone. Romney is backed too by a series of so-called Super Pacs (political action committees), officially unaffiliated bodies that are able to keep the source of their funds secret and who can spend unlimited amounts on TV commercials. Obama has some Super Pac allies of his own, but here too Romney has the advantage.

The coming phase of the campaign holds further bright possibilities for the Republican candidate. Yes, Obama will get his moment in the sun next week as Democrats gather for their convention in Charlotte. But any momentum could come to an abrupt halt on Friday, when the latest job statistics are published.

The week following the jobs report will be the beginning of the barrage of Romney ads.

If you thought Romney and crew blanketed Gingrich, Perry and Santorum, just wait until next week when they really start spending all that cash they're sitting on.

Team Obama better hope for a good jobs report. Otherwise, it's going to get ugly, fast!

nah, after the blitz by obama through the summer, romney has already been damaged beyond repair. he didn't see any bounce from the convention, which is telling. that shows that we're dealing with a campaign unlike any before it, where the stakes are far too high. the difference between the look and attitude of the republican convention and what we'll see at the democrat's party next week will also work in obama's favor.

romney has already conceded PA and Ohio. the dude is going to be clobbered when it comes to electoral votes. black people are going to be on the day after election, when obama is re-elected and all of these angry cacs get told to fukk off.

Who invited this nikka from the other site? I owe them a neg.

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Real n!gga say true...he ain't never told no lie!!!

If this jobs report is "as bad" as economist predict.....you're looking at Obama's Clint Eastwood at the convention. Nothing he says will overshadow that number.

Damn Romney lost PA? Didn't they pass the voter ID laws? I thought that was gonna be a shoe in

Barring some sort of severe gaffe by Obama himself Romney's chances of winning are extremely slim. Romney ain't winning his home state, PA, or Ohio, and even if he wins those he won't reach 276.

so obama is going to win because being unemployed isnt so bad under his administration


only 35 percent of the voting eligible unemployed voted in the 2010 cycle, compared to 46 percent of employed, so even if that logic made sense and the claim was valid, the statistics seem to show otherwise.

I hate to say it but where ever u got those states from are wrong because its actually 51% are unemployed and 46% are employed so more then half of the voters are living off obamas plan.

P.S. 35+46 does not equal 100 so where is the other 19 classified as
