Open Thread for October 16, 2012….The Second Debate

Tonight President Obama and Mitt Romney will be hanging out down the road from the Dog’s House  @ Hofstra University in Hempstead LI, New York…..

If was a sudent at the school I’d probabaly take a crack at getting in the hall….

Anyways ….It’s a Town Hall set up tonight ….

This WILL play better for the President….

Candy Crowley will be the referre and both sides are ALREADY on her cae because she’s indicated she want’s to get in with a question or two….

EVERYONE agree’s that President Obama probably WILL do good because he HAS to do good….

His last performance proved that debates DO count….

And…

Style IS MORE important than substance….

We’ll be wtaching and live blogging here at the Dog…..

There are 19 days until election day …November 6, 2012

  1. Tell me Keith,

    Did Grove poll NV-SEN Race in 2010, YES or NO and what was their Track Record?

    I trust Mellman which has a very good Track Record not just NV but all over the Country a GAZILLON TIMES more than Grove.

  2. james,

    Romney moves staff OUT OF NORTH CAROLINA now being confirmed by the the Raleigh News & Observer and verified by CNN

    http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/18/romney-campaign-begins-shifting-out-of-north-carolina/

    Romneys staff will be moved largely to Ohio.

  3. You got caught Daniel making over the top statements and are now trying to worm your way out of it. This firm is actually pretty good and I may hire them in the future if I get the opportunity. They have worked in races all over the West. The7 work(ed) for the Governors of Oregon and Arizona, Congressional races, ballot initiatives, and even the Portland Trailblazers — and they were on the money with their predictions.

    Next time Danny, do a little research and come with the facts. You really got caught with your pants down this time.

  4. Romney’s staff is moving out of Pennsylvania too. Does anyone think that Romney has a chance to carry Pennsylvania (your last mistake on Pennsylvania in 2008 notwithstanding Daniel)?

    Romney is putting everything into carrying Ohio, it’s his only chance.

  5. james,

    One Day I’m going to figure out what Job BOGEYMAN Keith has.

    My suspicion is that he works for the “Obama for America Campaign”

    IF THAT IS TRUE you should take EVERY COMMENT he says with a HUGE GRAIN OF SALT.

    It would also explain why his Comments are pure partisan hack.

  6. I don’t work for the campaign Daniel, and if I did, I sure wouldn’t have time to be on this or any other site.

    Explain why Grove is a bad, or in your terms a crap, pollster? You don’t, because you can’t.

    Here is a person who has been both sides of the political fence — going from Democrat to Right Wing Republican telling people to take what I write with a grain of salt. Please.

  7. I think Daniel’s ignoring you Keith…..

    He doesn’t like you……

  8. All the more reason to continue to ask him to support his unsupportable statements. It will be such fun.

  9. james,

    Tell me why I should like a BOGEYMAN. I’m not and particularly not this BOGEYMAN named Keith.

    Keith is a flat out LIAR and LIARS I don’t like.

  10. YOU DON’T Daniel….

    YOU pick who you like and don’t like….

  11. The Yanks are just about DONE…..
    twitter…..

    Peralta hits one out to left. Tigers lead 6-0 and the rout is on. Only drama left here is whether Scherzer will throw a no-hitter.

  12. Geez!

    What a BUSY Posting Day!

  13. NBC releasing two polls now…

    Iowa…51 to 43 Obama

    Wisconsin….51 to 45 Obama (Obama gains 1% pt post 2nd Debate)

    No loss in points…

  14. The Daily Polling numbers will probabaly be posted in a hour or so when RCP posts the NBC Iowa and Wisconsin Polls….

  15. Without Gallup Obama is fine in the national’s….

    Obama is fine in the state polls….

  16. Ohio Jobless numbers

    2009 Sept…..10.6%

    Now …..7.2%

  17. Daniel G., I also expect NC Republicans to sweep half of the statewide offices in November including the Governor’s Mansion.

  18. CD & james,

    I’m preparing to make a call in Iowa….OBAMA WILL CARRY THE STATE.

  19. Daniel G., so Romney needs to win New Hampshire, Florida, Virginia, and possibly Nevada or Colorado to get the 270.

    He will likely keep the McCain states.

  20. CD,

    Romney needs to win the McCain States

    +
    Florida
    North Carolina
    Virginia
    Ohio
    and 1 of 3 (New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada)

    IF he wins New Hampshire he gets to 270, if he wins Colorado he gets to 273 and if he wins Nevada he gets to 272.

    I do not trust the Ohio Early Voting Results. I still think the State can be won by Romney.

  21. I will add that to the Obama column

  22. CD
    NH , Nev and Colo are ALL IN THE OBAMA column
    Right now Virginia and Florida are toss-ups

    I expect Obama to take Virginia for sure

    Those wins mean Obama wins and Romney
    DOESN’T…….

  23. I had said from the jump

    OBAMA WILL WIN OHIO

    There are fresh polls out with Obama
    Continuing to lead there which is why
    The Romney campaign is bring in ground troops from NC

    LIKEWISE
    I believe Obama WILL WIN VIRGINIA

    ( I’m repeating myself here)

  24. James B, your Yankees just CHOKED themselves out of the playoffs losing to Detroit, who will in all likelihood get CRUSHED by Saint Louis in the World Series in 6 games.

    I’ll take reliance on the Fox Gallup polls and Rasmussen Reports.

    On college football, Alabama will WIN the national title two years straight.

  25. I’m a Met fan CD….

    At least the Yankees go to the pley-off’s every year

  26. Tell me Keith,

    Did Grove poll NV-SEN Race in 2010, YES or NO and what was their Track Record?

    I trust Mellman which has a very good Track Record not just NV but all over the Country a GAZILLON TIMES more than Grove.

    From Keith,

    I trust Mellman too, after all I hired him. But why is it that Grove is a bad pollster? You cannot support your statements, like so many other statements. Tell us why Grove is a bad pollster? Or leave Daniel. You have changed positions so many times in the past year you look like the Romney weather vane.

  27. Daniel doesn’t trust the early voting results in Ohio. Tell us why Daniel and please be specific.

  28. I guess Daniel ISN’T going to be happy with Iowa’s early number’s either, eh?

    In IA, 34% told us they already voted, Obama leads among them 67-32. 46% told us they’ll vote on Election Day, Romney leads them 54-39
    — @chucktodd via TweetDeck

  29. New Thread coming at ya…….

  30. Obama has moved into a great lead in Iowa. So, Daniel has to tell us why he doesn’t trust those numbers either.

  31. Oops, Daniel’s favorite pollster has Berkley ahead. NV-SEN (Mellman Group for the Berkley campaign): Shelley Berkley (D) 41, Sen. Dean Heller (R) 38, Others 5

  32. The fact that both candidates are still going to Ohio suggests that Obama had not yet wrapped up that state yet. But I remain confident that Obama will win that state by more than two or three points

  33. james is WRONG.

    CD,

    I think Romney still has a chance to be President.

    Romney will win Florida, North Carolina and Virginia like Suffolk Pollster David Paleologos predicted.

    Virginia Presidential Election

    1948 Harry Truman (D)
    1952 Dwight Eisenhower (R)
    1956 Dwight Eisenhower (R)
    1960 Richard Nixon (R)
    1964 Lyndon Johnson (D)
    1968 Richard Nixon (R)
    1972 Richard Nison (R)
    1976 Gerald Ford (R)
    1980 Ronald Reagan (R)
    1984 Ronald Reagan (R)
    1988 George H. W. Bush (R)
    1992 George H. W. Bush (R)
    1996 Bob Dole (R)
    2000 George W. Bush (R)
    2004 George W. Bush (R)
    2008 Barack Obama (D)

    Since 1948 only 3 Democratic Presidential Candidates carried VA. It’s a Republican State. Republicans won the Governorship 2009 and 3 House Seats in 2010 including the Seat of longtime Congressman Rick Boucher (D).

    BTW CD,

    james insisted until recently Obama would carry North Carolina. We saw how that turned out yesterday.

  34. I sure HAVE said that Obama would carry NC….

    But Obama pulled that state by a very SMALL margin….

    Jack knocked my view….

    I have persisted…

    But coming down the road the numbers look like Romney will NOT let the state slip….

    Unless the get out vote REALLY kicks in Romney’s chances are excellent to carry the state

  35. Until yesterday james you expected Obama to win North Carolina by a squeaker so don’t LIE.
