Wonder what it will be after the dismal job report.
Not dismal but not great either.

How many think this is more to do with the powerful speach that Clinton gave rather than what Pres. Obama said. I watched both conventions for every night that they were on and Clintons speach was by far the best.

I'll tell you once again, there is no such person as President Mitt Romney. Quit calling him President, He is not the President.

I think its probably just statistical noise. Give it a week or two and you'll see where this race really stands.
I doubt any of the speeches from the Democrat side made any significant difference. After four years, Obama is essentially a known quantity. If a person doesn't support him at this point based on his actions in office, I can't imagine that a speech is going to convince anyone to do so. He's consistently polling in the mid/upper 40s in the head to head matchups and that's probably his ceiling. That's also why I think he's a lot more vulnerable than many Dems want to believe.
James Carville was correct.
It's not the speeches. It's the economy, stupid.
The dismal Job Report has Obama on the ropes and it's only going to get worse.

In my humble opinion, the election is going to be a blow-out FOR Romney. Too many people are still "saying" that they'll vote for Obama over fear of being labeled a racist or race-traitor.
The polls will go back and forth, tis how Gallup makes money. But it'll be a shoe-in for Romney.
Oh really? How do you define a blow-out? Are you giving points?
I happen to believe that Obama will be re-elected, although not by "blow-out" margins, and I'd even be willing to place a wager. How about it? What do you think, is $10,000.00 enough?
No. But I'll wager a bottle of scotch. 500.00 limit.

Of course there's gonna be a bump.
That's only because Obama threatened to sue Gallup.
source of a hard cold fact
Senior Obama Campaign adviser David Axelrod reportedly contacted The Gallup Organization to discuss the company’s research methodology after their poll’s findings were unfavorable to the President. After declining to adjust their methodology, Gallup was named in an unrelated lawsuit by the DOJ.

The first to bring up race in this thread was an Obamite.edit on 8-9-2012 by truejew because: Removed incorrect code
Obamite? Really? How crass.
“The demographics race we’re losing badly [sic],” the senior senator from South Carolina explained. “We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.”
Euphemisms such as “forward” and “progress” are associated with people like Marx, Engels, Trotsky, Lenin, and Mao. Have you ever heard of the “People’s Republic of China”?

If Obama is reelected we should just spin the “wheel of misfortune” and see what our fate is.
It doesn't matter what they said at their convention because the numbers paint the picture of what Obama's policies do for the country:
• 23 million Americans are out of work, have stopped looking for work, or are underemployed
• $16 trillion national debt (that’s $50,000 for every American)
• 43 straight months of 8% or higher unemployment
• 4 straight trillion dollar budget deficits in a row
Obama’s policies won’t lead to a prosperous future for Americans….that should be obvious to everyone at this point.

You guys are talking my language. I'll take you up on that, Beezer. If Romney wins, I'll get you a bottle (under $50) of Scotch. If Obama wins, you'll get me a bottle of Clan MacGreggor Scotch ($13). Shake on it?
PS - We could make it even more interesting if the conditions of the bet required us both to only vote third party.
