DES MOINES, Iowa (Official Wire) — In a presidential race seemingly frozen in place for months, the advantage has shifted toward President Barack Obama after a series of miscues by Mitt Romney, punctuated by the Republican challenger’s comments about people who pay no income tax.
Despite a continuing gray economic sky and unrest in the Mideast, the president has edged ahead of Romney in some of the most competitive states, including Iowa and Virginia, and forced Romney to redouble efforts in Florida and Ohio, without which he has little chance of becoming president.
With about six weeks left before Election Day and early voting under way in some states, Romney faces a problematic map, a ticking clock and a campaign demeanor that has failed to click with many voters.

Maybe some good will come if Obama is re-elected.
As one judge (I forget his name) said, an Obama re-election would mean that there is a real possibility of states seceding from the US. Nothing would please me more than restoring the Southern States to their previous and legal form of government. And no it doesn’t mean a return to slavery for anyone, BUT it means FREEDOM for everyone as it was originally stated and wrote in the US Constitution as a true Republican form of government. Currently the US is NOT a Republic but rather a Federal Democratic Union that is FORCED!

Hey, that just may be a plan! I’ve never thought about dividing the country but it may just have to come to that. The northern section of the country is definitely in favor of Obama – regardless of anything!!! I just can’t understand it.
Interesting logic there Mike360000. Do not count out the western states from the same scenario. Perhaps the Homeland Security chiefs were thinking exactly that when they just recently purchased 1.2 Billion sniper grade hollow point bullets (3 bullets for every man,woman, child and illegal imigrant in the USA). Please remember that the American Civil War killed more people than ALL of the other wars we’ve (the USA) been in COMBINED! Now there’s a sobering thought. Maybe we can link up for further discussion on these issues @ the soon to be opened FEMA Summer camps for patriots.

WOW Bobbyc327, now if we could only get that done…where do I go?
The first target of Patriots should not be the Marxists but the Establishment Republirats who drove hard to get the least electable candidate nominated and who have undermined patriots everywhere in there efforts to regain control of the Senate. Yes, four more years of Hussein will leave us with a Marxist goivernment that will be impossible to dislodge by peaceful means.
The most important thing to me is getting American values put back in our whitehouse, i believe the rest will come to pass, i would vote democrat if there was someone i could agree with, but i do not see that happening, i just know that Obama is against everything that i believe in. He has no American morals, he is an habitual lier, and he has addmitted to being a dopehead in college, if he was white or some other race, he would have been laughed under the table and run out of town, but he is assumed to be black( 6.75% black, but that was enough for all the race mongers to ellect him to office, i was taught that if you didn’t have anything good to say about someone, you should not say anything, but i feel i must in Obamas case
BALONEY, that’s what this story really is. Don’t listen to the current polls, the mainstream media IS LYING ABOUT POLL RESULTS! They are polling 6-13% MORE DemocRAT voters than they are GOP or Independents–DemocRATS polled outnumber BOTH GOP and Independents, this is to discourage anti- OWEbumbler voters from showing up to vote. REMEMBER NOVEMBER 2010? When record numbers of DemocRATS were KICKED OUT OF CONGRESS! Do YOU really think there won’t BE MORE Tea Party/Conservatives showing up this time to FINISH THE JOB?? Think back to the Chik-Fil-A DAY just a few months back when people showed up by hundreds of thousands to support Chik-Fil-A’s stand for marriage bewteen man/woman–do you really think those folks will be voting for OWEbumbler? I don’t, and polls in NC and Georgia show 20% of blacks will support Romney, some 20+% in Fla. are supporting Romney. OWEbumbler IS NOT WINNING MORE VOTERS IN ANY CATEGORY OF VOTERS THAN HE WON IN ’08, he’s losing 10% of Jewish voters, and only has 27% of Catholic Voters. STOP listening to the MEDIA–show up and VOTE–IT IS YOUR RIGHT, NOT THEIR’S TO DISCOURAGE!
I agree with you. I’m glad you said what you said. We need to STOP listening to the lying lamestream media and the Democrats’ polls. Rush Limbaugh said that these polls over-sample Democrats. To me this is the same thing as lying. Our media is no good. They are not good journalists any more. They lie to force their agenda down our throats. I’m tired of it. Thank God for Rush and you, Shavager.
The only good news I have heard is the Oboozer, and moo moo butter butt have purchased a home in Hawaii. Could be he knows he will lose…. I pray.. But what is “funny” is the price of this home is $35,000.000.00 ( $35 million) and his so called net worth is under $12 million. I guess his friends are helping him, if they do move, Hawaii will be another Chicago style thug center.
hi! i,m a baby boomer with three kids,who i,m very proud of because i instilled in them the same values my parents taught me. i,m a registered rep.,but i,ve dem. at times. my kids are big obama supporters.I,M NOT! i have told them the danger of this man winning reelection,but to no avail.i suffer from copd and am on oxygen 24/7. never collected an unemployment check in my life. when i was laid off,i did odd jobs. i would sometimes sit with my kids and listen to their veiws on the political topics,and then give mine. i also could not understand why my kids had no faith in god,as i and my wife are catholic. i can only come up with one answer. technology! they use a remote to change the tv(i have six)which has a hundred stations,i had to get up and change it by hand.(and there was only a few stations on a black and white set) come midnight,no more t.v.have to travel somewhere,get a map. now gps. book report, go to the library,now internet. on the road and need a phone,find one and hope it works,and you have the change for it. have to pay a bill,stand on a bank line. EVERYTHING!!! and there is so much more.tech. has taken the place of an almighty. o.k fine! just for argument sake,there was no god,you have to teach your children there is. WHY! because the,ll develope a concience. history is loaded with people with no concience ( hitler,stalin amin,pol pot, the mid east dictators,and on and on.you brought your children the belief in santa claus,the easter bunny,tooth fairy.that there was magic in the world. for some reason, it,s all gone. no respect for the flag,our eldery,teachers,or our planet. our children are coming out of school uneducated! many of my friends are teaches and the tell me teaching these kids is many cases nearly impossible.the students are on cell phones,walking the halls,and on many ,many occasions brought out in cuffs after beating up the teacher. i could go on forever and i,d just be wasting mine time. but i,m very fearful for the future. gotta go now! by the way! this is the first and more than likely the last time i post a comment on this or any other site,as this post took me exactly17 min. to type. i,m not the modern man.from a family of nine,eight grade education(but i got a ged). i wish you all the very best..
I think Jimmy Kimmels idea is the best on this election situation. Let them fist fight to solve this matter and all will be good on our side people……….ever see the photo of Obama riding his bicyclye? He is about as thick as a pencil but has a peanut head…..lol.
The ultimate teacher is, reality. Reality brings, hunger, servitude, and deprivation. The United States is like a giant plum, ripe for the picking. Our children are our prodigy and the results of our failure.
Nothing changes ones priorities more than hunger. This can and will occur the day, that welfare and food stamps stop.
The horror of this is; the same people who have worked to keep this nation safe and running will now be the targets. The Hi-Bred En titlist will become a marauding mob! The National Guard which would normally restore order will be under the control of the En titlist and the White House. This Nation will explode internally. We will then be sitting ducks for a takeover by a foreign power. The Cause? Lack of Discipline, and failure of this generation to pass on survival skills. We are the victims of our own demise!!!!
Think of our nation as a jet plane flying at mach speed. The engine fails but the plane keeps flying. The pilot knows the danger but others have no clue.
The working people of this nation know the danger we are in, but the average 25 year old we are suppose to pass the banner to does not. They are only concerned with their; Next Tattoo, cellphone, or hit of drugs. How are you going to talk reality to a person who does not have enough brains to wear a pair of pants correctly. They refer to jobs as something you get, not something you prepare for. Expecting anything but failure from this bunch of losers is unrealistic at best.
When a person can walk around this beautiful place called Earth, and wonder if there is a God! All hope for this person and this society is folly!!!!!!!
