Folks, Update for your information....... Judy Miriga Diaspora Spokesperson Executive Director Confederation Council Foundation for Africa Inc., USA http://socioeconomicforum50.blogspot.com Obama still winning Electoral College 277-235 and 270 is the Required number..........
His poor debate performance might have led some pollsters to move Florida, Virginia and North Carolina into Mitt Romney's win column, but President Obama still leads in enough states to give him an Electoral College victory by seven points. Proving a point made repeatedly by the Obama campaign that it can lose several states it won in 2008 and still keep the White House, the University of Virginia's Center for Politics cut 13 Electoral Votes from its September analysis due to the debate, but still has Obama with 277 and Romney 235; 270 are needed. To win, the Center said, Romney needs Colorado, New Hampshire and Virginia to get to 261. Then he'd need either Ohio or Wisconsin, or both Iowa and Nevada. "This should cheer the GOP," said the Center. It's easier for Obama. The Center expects Obama to take Nevada, Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin for the win. Obama team promises more aggressive president in second debateReuters – 4 hrs ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Campaign advisers to President Barack Obama promised on Sunday he would be more aggressive and energetic on Tuesday in his second debate against Republican challenger Mitt Romney after a passive, heavily criticized performance in their first showdown.
Since that first debate in Denver on October 3, polls indicate Romney has erased Obama's lead heading into the November 6 election. Obama and Romney debate again on Tuesday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. The third and final presidential debate will take place on October 22 in Florida. "Obviously, the president was disappointed in his own performance. He didn't meet his expectations," Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs told the CNN program "State of the Union," referring to the first debate. "He knew when he walked off that stage and he also knew as he's watched the tape of that debate that he's got to be more energetic. I think you'll see somebody who's very passionate about the choice that our country faces - and putting that choice in front of voters," Gibbs added. The Romney team sounded unimpressed. "Well, the president can change his style. He can change his tactics. He can't change his record. And he can't change his policies. And that's what this election is about," Romney campaign adviser Ed Gillespie told CNN. "I think the race is very close. I think the wind is at Governor Romney's back, and there's clearly momentum. You can see it on the trail, you can see it in the data," Gillespie said in a separate appearance on "Fox News Sunday." In contrast to Obama's listless debate performance, Vice President Joe Biden was far more assertive in his debate on Thursday night with Romney's running mate Paul Ryan in Danville, Kentucky. Another Obama campaign adviser, David Axelrod, told the "Fox News Sunday" program: "I think he's going to be aggressive in making the case for his view of where we should go as a country, a country that's built around a growing, thriving middle class, not this top-down theory that Governor Romney has." "But the other thing he's going to certainly do - I mean, we saw Governor Romney sort of serially walk away from his own proposals - certainly the president is going to be willing to challenge him on it as we saw the vice president challenge Paul Ryan," Axelrod said.

(AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster) President Obama told a Miami radio host yesterday that he never thought, during last week's presidential debate, that Mitt Romney got the better of him. "That's not actually how I thought about it," Obama said on the Michael YO! Show when asked if there was a moment when he knew he was losing last week. "I do think that on television it was clear that I was being too restrained when Mr. Romney was telling his tall tales. But the truth is, when you read the transcript, everything I said was true and a lot of what he said was not." Obama did concede that he "had an off-night" and explained that he was "too polite" to bring up Romney's 47 percent remarks. "It is a useful reminder, though, that the news media's attention span is fairly short," he said of the fact that the 47 percent comments didn't come up in the debate. Obama also talked about his earliest experience in the private sector. "My first job was at Baskin Robbins and it paid minimum wage," he said. "I don't know what minimum wage was back then — it was probably three bucks an hour." The show began with Obama weighing in on the Mariah Carey-Nicki Minaj feud on American Idol, saying that between the two, he prefers Mariah Carey. "Mariah — she's actually done some events for us," Obama said. "Nicki, I don't know, but I've got her on my iPod." No word on whether his iPod contains the song in which Minaj says "I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney." Carter 2 comments collapsed I think it's more that Obama is saying he told the truth and Mitt didn't. This is actually the case according to every single independent fact checking organization. During the primaries, even Newt G. said it's impossible to debate Romney effectively because you never know which Romney will show up, and he'll say anything to win. Obama and the truth are oxymorons. NITPICKER2 2 comments collapsed If you Republicans want a president so bad why don't you people pick a candidate that is fit for office. Romney is not fit for office and he will never be our president. |
