Romney/Ryan Lose 2012 Election Thread

[Hersh]

Oh please. If you are targeting Ryan for that myopia the Dems are twice as bad. It's not desparation it's just electioneering. If there's any injustice with the bailouts (and there are a few) it's that we allowed Fiat to snatch up Chrysler for a stupidly small amount.

Seriously? So the government should have stopped Chrysler from being sold and done what? The Right wing, bury their head in the sand, say anything at all has reached some all time highs trying to defend Romney.

I could have put this in either thread I guess, but I thought it was pretty cool.

After a season dominated by talk of Ohio, Virginia and Florida, Campaign 2012 suddenly shifted focus to a new trio of states Wednesday amid a new verbal battle about which candidate is better positioned to win on Tuesday.

The new geographic front in the political war focuses on Pennsylvania, Michigan and Minnesota, three states that have backed Democrats dating back at least to 1988 but which Republicans say are ripe for GOP nominee Mitt Romney in his challenge to President Obama.

Republican super PACs have been advertising in those states for some time, and Romney’s campaign has joined in two of them, Pennsylvania and Minnesota, but not Michigan as of Wednesday.

Money spent in unexpected places by the campaigns or their super PACs says little at this point. That’s because, unlike in past presidential campaigns, both sides are flush with cash and have extra funds to play with down the stretch.

It doesn't really seem like Romney can win any of those. I think this is a bit of sensationalism.

It's a win win for me, I come out great with either guy. A little better with Romney, but I don't trust either will actually pull of all they want.

Was I defending Romney in that post? If so, where? I was pointing out Hersh's duplicity in his post. If any party has taken this campaign to the gutter consistently it's Obama. I don't see how anyone would argue otherwise but this board does list to the left pretty consistently. It's just the way things are.

Very cool. But it doesn't show impact of plans on the deficit and debt. Which will impact us as well in the long run.

Yeah pretty neutral ... when I put in the correct number. At first I accidentally typed an extra zero and Romney was better by more than a quarter of a million dollars.

I know right, put in income of over 10 Million and look what happens!

In Romney's personal defense, I do think there is a good chance that he didn't know this happened.

That somebody associated with the campaign got worried, told somebody to buy the cans, and then even somebody else told people they could "donate" them, and Romney wasn't consulted on any of it.

He didn't realize he was thanking people for bringing cans that his own campaign had bought.

These people are rushed. Things don't always make it all the way up the food chain and at different times and places different people end up making decisions.

I agree. I don't think there was any point in making a fuss about this, but I guess it was inevitable that the Democrats would jump on it given where we are in the silly season.

His efforts help the down ticket races....more than one thing in play,and he has plenty of money

I do think it does likely show poor judgement by SOMEBODY. Most likely, somebody told peole they could "donate" cans that the the campaign had bought and knew what they were doing.

And then you can argue about how much that says about Romney.

But I doubt it is as bad as it could seem.

Your last reason is really what it's all about. Excess cash to spend on both sides and there is no reason to keep it for November 7th. I wish I had that kind of money to burn.

I thought the spin was that Obama was sinking to new lows? I guess saying Castro and Chavez would vote for Romney is a substantive debate to have.
