A Republican strategist holding a focus group if Republicans say Romney wins? What a shock

I don't have any doubt when Obama spoke that he knew it was terror. I think there was an obvious recognition, a political one, that it needed to be downplayed and shape the story.

To his credit, it was as crafty as anything he could have done on the issue. He'll point to that to demonize Romney and make it look like the factual record all over the news the last two weeks doesn't reflect reality.

3 points I took from tonight.

Mitt said "Government does not create jobs." Odd....I swear I've been hearing how he's going to create 12 million jobs.

Apparently, you have to get married or you will GET KILLED BY GUNS!

As for saying "We're all children under the same God." Don't give me that bullshit. Even though I'm an Athiest and didn't care for the comment, I'm sure Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Catholics/Christians etc. didn't care for it as well.

Own up; these are independent swing voters, many who voted obama last time; almost every single one of them now say they will vote for Romney. The swing voters are now breaking for Romney in a huge way. It's over!

Same thing. Japan has been labeled a currency manipulator, if unofficially, for years. And they do. It's an export-driven country and a strong currency is not good for their economy. But it is a symbiotic relationship, and an issue mostly of political rhetoric because we do benefit via lower interest rates and cheaper goods.

Very complicated issue to get into. You also have inflationary impacts from getting tough on them.

No they aren't independent...did you watch the beginning of his focus group. Half of them identified as Repubs

Obama completely lied about his Rose Garden comments, and Crowley was wrong to fact-check Romney incorrectly at that time.

You must not have seen the results of Fox's poll of voters. Did you actually watch it, or is that just what the email from Obama HQ told you?

The lutz group is independents and it appeared 70% of then voted Obama 08. Now about 15% are. They said all he did was attack.

The last debate was so pathetic they're latching on to a push, at best, as some sort of landslide.

Obama watched Biden score points with the base by talking loudly and lying with confidence, and he took the same tactic with a more polished Presidential angle. And it's clearly working. The kool-aid drinkers are eating it up but it's not going to give him the independents he needs to win the election.

I know you're desperate when you start talking about oversampling. You never acknowledge it when it takes the shine off the spin in your mailbox.

And you are watching Fox News Jupiter? Please cite your sources. I've been watching the entire time you have been watching and never once heard anything remotely close to that. I will willingly admit if I am wrong, however.

Why not quote these numbers Ty? This is from your loveable CNN poll

Who will handle the economy better?
Romney 58-40

Who will handle the deficit better:
Romney 63-32

Who will handle taxes better:
Romney 49-46

Central, key issues. Romney again gutted Obama on the issues that matter.

Good for Gov.Romney....he needs some good news he still is losing in states he NEEDS to win

Of the undecideds...25 % more likely to vote for Obama,25% for Romney. Other 50% said it didn't change their minds
