The Count On Ms Dash

I think Stacey Dash is well entitled to vote for Mitt Romney with out taking any grief from anybody but why is this a story? I know for a damned fact, because I follow them, that celebrities on twitter who make left leaning statements also take untold amounts of grief for their tweets. The difference is they don't go crying to the media because A. they can handle it and B.  If you're a liberal the media doesn't care.  And for the record  just who the fuck is Stacey Dash

Big News in Ohio and Florida

And it isn't good news for the Romney/Ryan ticket.

A batch of new polls from two key battleground states produced some of the largest leads yet for President Barack Obama, drawing criticism from the campaign of Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
In Ohio and Florida, the new surveys from The Washington Post and the polling partnership of CBS News, The New York Times and Quinnipiac University show Obama leading by margins approaching double-digits.
While the margins produced by these and other surveys vary, they collectively point to a consistent underlying trend: Big gains in enthusiasm among Democratic partisans have helped boost Obama since the party conventions.
In Florida, a state widely considered a must-win for Romney, results ranged from a whopping 9 point Obama lead (53 to 43 percent) on the new CBS/Times/Quinnipiac poll, to a 4 point Obama advantage on the Washington Post poll (51 to 47 percent), to a much narrower 1 point edge for Obama (48 to 47 percent) on a Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald/Mason Dixon poll.

Of course, we have six weeks left to go until Election Day and anything can happen in that timespan, but i'm certain this is the last place the Romney campaign wanted to be in. Instead of closing the gap and keeping the race as air tight as possible, this is looking similar to 1996 all over again, where Bubba handed Bob Dole a electoral ass-kicking.

Of course, when faced with damning numbers like this in key battleground states, it only makes sense to try and put the best spin you can on the latest numbers: deny, deny, deny!

For the Romney campaign, Tuesday brought yet more bad news from the Buckeye state: a new Washington Post poll showed the Republican presidential nominee trailing President Barack Obama by eight points in this critical battleground state, with 52 percent of Ohio voters in favor of giving the incumbent another four years.
Before Mitt Romney's plane touched down at the Dayton airport today, two top aides were dispatched to the press cabin to put out possible fires the numbers might have sparked.
"The public polls are what the public polls are," Romney Political Director Rich Beeson told reporters. "I kind of hope the Obama campaign is basing their campaign on what the public polls say. We don’t. We have confidence in our data and our metrics."
What the Romney team’s data indicated about Ohio, Beeson wouldn't say. He argued that Romney was inside the margin of error here “by any stretch,” and dismissed the much-hyped Obama ground game in Ohio as activity confused with progress.

Translation: they've seen the numbers and done the math, and their boy is in deep shit.

On a more important note: Yesterday was National Voter Registration Day, and if you haven't yet: please, register to vote. I don't care who you vote for in the national election or what your views are. Just vote and let your voice be heard. Don't take this simple, yet powerful way of voicing your opinions on national, state, and local matters for granted.

Rosen-gate Or: Another Meaningless Nonstory for the Right To Latch Onto

And the award for most pointless non-story transformed into political cannon fodder of the day goes to....

Hilary Rosen, a Democratic National Committee adviser, criticized Ann Romney on Wednesday night and accused her of failing to understand the economic concerns of women. 

“His wife has actually never worked a day in her life,” Rosen said during a discussion on CNN's "AC360" Wednesday night. “She’s never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing in terms of how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school and how do we — why we worry about their future.”

Now, this was a poor choice of words on Rosen's behalf, though the context of what she said isn't far off:  the Romney campaign using the wife as a way to connect with middle class voters (women and mothers in particular) when she and Mitt have lived their lives fairly comfortably only add to the perception that Romney is out of touch with ordinary Americans and their daily struggles.

But nope! The GOP and the Romney campaign have made this non-story a hot topic on the 24 hr. cable news circuit. And who could blame them? Anything that will get the masses focusing less on an improving economy and the Republicans and their issues with women and Latino voters and more on this hateful bitch, her ties to Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright and how she used to be an adviser to the Obama White House, and yet another example of liberal hypocrisy on display (complete with Sean Hannity demanding that President Obama issue an apology to Ann Romney for the vicious and defamation of her good name, because this is, somehow, his fault), the better off Romney will be for a short time.
