Obama reelection 2012

It's a good line of attack coming from someone who doesn't have numerous employees with hands elbow deep in the Wall Street till. Unfortunately, that person is not Obama.

When I first read this, I thought it was chancellor writing. My bad.

Not in this universe. In this universe he is a paid mothpiece, who offers simplistic feel good solutions for complex and thorny problems.

If there were ever a man that can be summed up by this old saw, its Reich:

For every problem, there is a solution: neat, plausible and wrong.

I have the pleasure of knowing the man. You're a fool.

You run in some pretty impressive circles--very cool.
You have to be pretty partisan not to think Reich is a brilliant guy. Wish he had a seat at the table with the current administration.

From you, that's high praise.

To give him his due, he comes across as very erudite. I simply find his solutions to be 9 parts packaging and 1 part wishful thinking.

Not that I would conduct myself the same way, but Bill Clinton is my hero

Brooklyn -- who just posted the pic on her Twitter account -- also just won the award for "Best Sex Scene" in "Mission Asspossible."

The next night he held a fundraiser for President Obama.

I see nothing at all wrong with how he acts. Though Brooklyn obviously "acts" pretty well herself!

My biggest problem with Clinton was the fact that he was banging interns instead of supermodels, actresses, and top tier porn stars. You are the frakking president, hit the top shelf, not the well.....

Neither do I, hence the hero comment. But that doesn't mean that if I was in his shoes I would have repealed Glass-Stegall or cheated on my wife.

We have not had a recap of polling in a while. With Romney running unopposed, it mattered little on the GOP side. The irony is that Texas, which might have gone for Santorum, still has not had its primary, though it was originally scheduled for Super Tuesday. But now it is Romney vs Obmama, and the beginning of summer, so this is a good point for a benchmark.

The RCP average has Obama up 1.6%. Interestingly, the biggest margin for Obama, +7%, came from Fox News. All the others have been 3% or less, 4 for Obama and three for Romney. In other words you cannot get paper between them, and it has been that way for some time.

If you go to http://www.270towin.com/ there is an interactive map. Their battle ground states are:
New Hampshire
Pennsylvania
Ohio
Wisconsin
Florida
Iowa
Virginia
North Carolina
Colorado
Nevada

Allocate them as indicated. You might think that Florida decides the election again, but not so. Giving Florida to Romney makes a 269-269 tie. What if New Hampshire was the pivot state?

How much have the reelection odds dropped since the May jobs report? If June-Sept job reports are very good, no one will care about May but the odds of having a great next four months is lower than another stagnant summer.

I think Intrade.com is the most actively traded "political" market, and Obama's projected chances of winning have dropped from about 58% to 53% since the Friday jobs number.
