Romney clearly chose Ryan, and at this time, to reverse a downward trajectory in the polls. Well, it doesn't seem to have worked. Per this poll by Purple Strategies, Romney's got a slight lead in the swing states. However, the comments indicate (I have been looking for confirmation or disproof, with no luck) that Purple Strategies uses landline users only in its polling, which would bias the results GOP. While there has been a Ryan bounce, it's pretty small. Purple Strategies' contention is that Romney has a slight lead. If the polls are biased, Romney's dead in the water. The scary news for Romney is the Talking Points Memo electoral scoreboard. According to it, Obama has 34 votes more than he needs to win, and Romney needs to get 79 more votes than he currently has. There are three months left. Obama can continue to hammer on Bain and the tax returns, and now can attack the Ryan plan as well, as being hostile to Medicare and damaging to the middle class. Romney will hammer on the economy, and also on weird side issues if history is an indication. The only game changer I can see is if Ryan himself is a more effective campaigner than Romney.

Well,when your party has a religious bigot liability.......it tends to be pointed out.... Sorry about that. You pro-religious-authoritarians have been imposing your hateful and ugly dogmas on us, for far to long. The president has been and is clearly on the side of freedom and privacy rights and a live and let live, positive POV. Keep your stupid, emotionally retarded prejudices to yourselves.

mnottertail -> RE: Romney's in BIG trouble. (8/16/2012 7:21:45 AM)
Yeah, using religious bigotry as a campaign tool hasn't worked well for republicans happy to use it people the times they have used it, has it?

Mr. Nixon, like the rest of us, has had his troubles in this campaign. At one point even the Wall Street Journal was criticizing his tactics. That is like the Observatore Romano criticizing the Pope. [Laughter.] But I think the worst news for the Republicans this week was that Casey Stengel has been fired. [Laughter.] It must show that perhaps experience does not count. [Laughter and applause.] On this matter of experience, I had announced earlier this year that if successful I would not consider campaign contributions as a substitute for experience in appointing ambassadors. Ever since I made that statement I have not received one single cent from my father. [Laughter and applause.] One of the inspiring notes that was struck in the last debate was struck by the Vice President in his very moving warning to the children of the Nation and the candidates against the use of profanity by Presidents and ex-Presidents when they are on the stump. And I know after 14 years in the Congress with the Vice President that he was very sincere in his views about the use of profanity. But I am told that a prominent Republican said to him yesterday in Jacksonville, Fla., "Mr. President, that was a damn fine speech." [Laughter.] And the Vice President said, "I appreciate the compliment but not the language." And the Republican went on, "Yes, sir, I liked it so much that I contributed a thousand dollars to your campaign." And Mr. Nixon replied, "The hell you say." [Laughter and applause.] However, I would not want to give the impression that I am taking former President Truman's use of language lightly. I have sent him the following wire: DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: I have noted with interest your suggestion as to where those who vote for my opponent should go. While I understand and sympathize with your deep motivation, I. think it is important that our side try to refrain from raising the religious issue.[Laughter and applause.] JFK.

We're talking about your candidates ability to hold his water in public.

Mormons wear 'temple garments' underneath their clothes, they are colloquially referred to as 'magic underpants'.
