Hell, Mittens and the boy wonder can't even win their own home states

Massachusetts 55-39 (PPP) Obama

Wisconsin 47-44 (Marquette University Poll) Obama
Wisconsin 49-47 (CBS/Quinnipiac Poll) Obama

What a couple of clowns they are. We have no doubt how Illinois and Delaware will vote in November.

I think Utah may be the only one he'll get. The last polls I saw had the President ahead in NH and MI. I'm not sure how current that is, however.

Romney knew that MA was impossible. However, the poll you cite here actually reflects the race in Wisconsin tightening. Also, I never bought in to the argument that Wisconsinites who voted for Walker TWICE were suddenly going to vote for Obama in November. It just makes no sense.

but even when Walker was winning all the polls including exit polls indicated that Obama was leading in Wisconsin. Ryan helps, but with time, money and especially organization Obama should win Wisconsin even if it's narrowly (such is how Gore and Kerry won).

That some money will have to be spent.However let's see If it remains this close In WI come october.We may be seeing a Ryan bump
In WI.But,VP choices rarely matters much In longrun.Qualyle was disaster In 88 and Bush won.It comes down to top of ticket.
reason 2000 was so close that It could be stolen Is people liked Bush.Many of us weren't among them here but still.

Obama and Biden will do well In debates.The fact so many are going on and on about Ryan as debater means Biden could come In
as underdog and strong performance by him could hurt Ryan.

I am may worried about Thompson winning the senate seat than Romney winning WI.Even Gore and Kerry were able to prevevil In
WI and Bush was seen as more likable than Romney.
