Obama leads in Oregon thanks to support

failing on opposition from women
(2012 Oregonian poll)

The Oregonian, by Jeff Mapes Original Article

Posted By: DaddyO- 10/30/2012 10:00:17 AM Post Reply

President Barack Obama holds a relatively narrow lead of six points over Republican challenger Mitt Romney in Oregon, according to a new poll conducted for The Oregonian. Obama's lead is considerably smaller than his margin of victory in Oregon four years ago and is a sign of how tight the presidential race has become across the nation. In addition, the poll also found that an initiative to legalize marijuana, Measure 80 is failing, with 49 percent opposed and 42 percent in favor. Voters are even more strongly opposed to two pro-casino measures --82 and 83 -- that even their sponsors

Wow. I never get used to it… As hyper-informed and cognizant of the evil/buffoonery/cravenness of this administration as I am, I never get used to the petty, maladroit, and moronic e-mails with which they pepper their base. No–I’m not part of the base, but my masochistic side subscribes to Obama-blasts, Moochelle-blasts, Messina-Axelrod-Springsteen-Sheryl Crow…. You get the point: masochism. None so painful as this shameless tripe on the eve of a dangerous storm affecting 20% of the U.S. population: Greg - After all Barack has done in office, and after all you have done to

Why Liberals Think What They Do

Note that Barack Obama is running not on his liberal record, but as a challenger against incumbent Mitt Romney who has done all sorts of terrible things like causing the 2008 meltdown and outsourcing jobs to China. In Obama’s view, given the supposedly tranquil world abroad, we must try nation building at home, and thus concentrate on bold new initiatives like stimulus, infrastructure, green jobs, and federalized health care (Snip) Obama himself apparently has given up on liberal ideas in lieu of Big Bird, binders, bull****ter, movie stars, and hip-hopsters, which prompts the question: does anyone

Eager early voters on a
path to set U.S. record

Encouraged by both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, millions of Americans aren't waiting for Nov. 6 to cast their secret ballot and will almost certainly set a new national record for early voting. In 2004, when Americans voted to allow Massachusetts to keep John Kerry as senator, about 20% of the popular vote was cast before Election Day. Last time, which was the first time ever two sitting senators faced off for the White House, 31% of Americans -- about 40 million of us -- voted before Election Day. This time, according to a newly-released Gallup Poll, about 36% of Americans indicate

Oregon voters just saying no to

Oregon voters apparently aren't ready to flat-out legalize the growing, selling and use of marijuana, a new poll for The Oregonian shows. The poll of 405 likely voters, conducted over the past week, shows Measure 80 failing 49 percent to 42 percent, with 9 percent undecided. Proponents wrote a far-reaching measure that would create a new Oregon Cannabis Commission to buy and sell pot at state run stores, as well as license growers and suppliers. The measure also would allow anyone but minors to grow and possess limitless amounts of marijuana for personal use. Currently, possession of less than an

It is beyond any reasonable doubt that Neil Abercrombie, Governor of Hawaii, and Ann Dunham's girlfriends, Susan Blake and Maxine Box, have been telling falsehoods about the President's origins. It is also beyond any reasonable doubt that there are people within the Obama camp who have managed their fabrications. It now appears that Mary Toutonghi, Ann Dunham's sometime babysitter in Seattle, was also "managed." Mary and her husband were the managers of the Villa Ria apartments located in the Capitol Hill section of Seattle. The apartments were carved out of a large old house.

A Big Storm Requires Big Government

Most Americans have never heard of the National Response Coordination Center, but they’re lucky it exists on days of lethal winds and flood tides. The center is the war room of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where officials gather to decide where rescuers should go, where drinking water should be shipped, and how to assist hospitals that have to evacuate. Disaster coordination is one of the most vital functions of “big government,” which is why Mitt Romney wants to eliminate it. At a Republican primary debate last year, Mr. Romney was asked whether emergency management was a

Romney, Not Obama, Shows

Cincinnati - There's an odd imbalance that few have noticed in this presidential campaign. In the midst of a continuing economic downturn, one candidate talks regularly about poverty, and the other doesn't. The one who does is the Republican, Mitt Romney. He's done it for a long time. Go back to Romney's March 30 speech in Appleton, Wis., in which he introduced the charge that President Obama is creating a "government-centered society." "Over 46 million Americans are now living in poverty, more than ever before in our nation's history," Romney said. "In households with single moms,

What's the explanation for Mitt Romney's unparalleled breakout? A few weeks ago, the Romney campaign was regarded as dead in the water. (Snip) Occam's razor applies to politics as much as any other field, and the simplest and best explanation in this case is that no large-scale change occurred within the campaign or without -- that in fact, things are unfolding pretty much as they were planned to. That it's happening this way because it was meant to. There is no conspiracy, and there was no mistake. What we're seeing is an example of straightforward campaign strategy in action. Romney has been

Republicans poised for
gains in governor’s races

Olympia, Wash. - Republicans are in position to extend their recent gains among governors as they compete for seats they haven’t won in a quarter-century. Of the 11 states with gubernatorial elections in November, eight are now led by Democrats, and each of the most competitive races is a GOP pickup opportunity. The numbers suggests that Republicans soon will claim 30 to 33 governorships after holding just 22 a few years ago — an advantage not reflected in the divided Congress or competitive presidential race. “It says that when people are choosing the government closest to the people,

October Jobs Report

The U.S. Labor Department said it plans to release the October jobs report due out Friday as scheduled, despite the onslaught of Hurricane Sandy. "The employees at the Bureau of Labor Statistics are working hard to ensure the timely release of employment data on Friday, November 2," said a Labor Department spokesperson. "It is our intention that Friday will be business as usual regarding the October Employment Situation Report." The October jobs report could have a significant impact on the Nov. 6 presidential election. A positive report would undoubtedly be hailed by President Obama

Hundreds of public housing tenants ignored mandatory evacuation orders Monday, living without elevators, hot water and heat to face down Hurricane Sandy. "I'm not leaving. I have faith in God. If he wants to get us, he will,” declared Dorothy Shields, the 80-year-old tenant leader in the Red Hook East Houses in Brooklyn. “It won't be as bad as they think it will be," she predicted. Red Hook was one of 26 housing developments located in low-lying areas along the city’s waterfront that NYCHA targeted for evacuation late Sunday. Cops with bullhorns drove building to building and NYCHA workers knocked

Tyrone Woods. Lena Dunham. There are Two America's out there. One is represented by Tyrone Woods. Mr. Woods, recall, was one of two Navy Seals (Glen Doherty was the other) who rushed to the aid of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, and other Americans in the Benghazi consulate and were murdered by terrorists. Specifically, according to their own boastful claims, murdered by members of Ansar al-Sharia, an al Qaeda offshoot seeking the ultimate Islamic supremacist goal of imposing the totalitarianism that is Sharia everywhere around the globe.

With Hurricane Sandy slamming into the East Coast, two men in their 20s decided, nonetheless, to kayak into the waters of Long Island Sound Sunday night. One was rescued from the churning waters while clinging to his kayak. The other remains missing, with the search for him being called off until the storm passes. Needless to say, rescuers were placed in harm’s way by the brazen acts of these thrill seekers. One, tragically, may no longer be alive. So, why did they do it?

Obama 2012 diagnosis:
Stage Two Death Rattle

As a veteran of numerous national, state and local campaigns, I can tell you that each race and each campaign has its own life cycle. The 2012 presidential contest is no exception. As polls tighten, and especially since Mitt Romney’s decisive performance in the first debate, Team Obama and the president himself are showing signs of what I term a campaign’s “death rattle.” GOP contender Rick Santorum withdrew from this year’s Republican primary within three days of my declaration that his campaign was in the final stages of “death rattle.” The phenomenon has three distinct stages.

President Obama's reelection campaign, openly concerned that his supporters will be turned away from the polls, is offering legal help to voters who see problems. The president today said in an interview that the campaign has enlisted an army of lawyers to clear hurdles away for his supporters, telling American Urban Radio Networks, "If people have problems voting, we can solve those problems. We've got lawyers all across the country." Urging supporters to vote early, as the president himself did in Chicago last week, he told black radio host April Ryan that voters should contact his campaign

Mitt Romney had it only half right when he attempted in the second presidential debate to score Barack Obama for his reluctance to concede that Benghazi was a terrorist attack. The real issue is not how long the president took to call the assault on the U.S. consulate an "act of terror"—but that he still has not called it an act of war. Plainly this is no oversight. On "The Late Show with David Letterman" a week after the attack—late-night television having become our commander in chief's preferred venue for addressing the great public issues—Mr. Letterman asked President Obama

Scott Brown puts public safety over politics and this is what he gets: a headline saying he “pulls out” of a final election debate. This bizarre twist in the final full week of Brown’s Senate re-election campaign comes courtesy of the Boston Globe-led media “consortium” that apparently was the last to realize that holding a political debate just hours after Sandy ripped through Massachusetts was not a good idea. Millions were urged to stay in their homes. Schools closed. The stock market shut down. Hundreds of thousands are without power. The presidential candidates even stopped campaigning.

Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney are scouting an unlikely path to the White House through the vast forests and blueberry barrens of northern Maine. President Barack Obama is expected to win the Pine Tree State easily in the November 6 election. Regardless, Romney allies are buying TV time with the hope of carrying the state's thinly populated interior and scraping out one electoral college vote in Maine that could edge their man closer to the 270 needed to win the White House. With polls showing a dead heat nationally, Republicans in the state are focusing their

SAN FRANCISCO — Thousands of baseball fans took to the streets of San Francisco to celebrate the Giants' World Series victory, with revelers gathering on corners, in parks and at watering holes — and some turning rowdy. Fans across the city left their televisions and rushed outside, greeting diners, bar patrons and other merrymakers Sunday night after the Giants defeated the Detroit Tigers 4-3 to sweep the Series for their second title in three years. Some violence and vandalism was reported, with revelers setting a public transit bus on fire, flipping over a vehicle

One of the more melancholy moments of the presidential campaign occurred for me in a screening room. The film was Rory Kennedy’s documentary about her mother, Ethel — the widow of Robert F. Kennedy. Much of it consisted of Kennedy-family home movies, but also film of RFK in Appalachia and in Mississippi among the pitifully emaciated poor. Kennedy brimmed with shock and indignation, with sorrow and sympathy, and was determined — you could see it on his face — to do something about it. I’ve never seen that look on Barack Obama’s face. Instead, I see a failure to embrace

On the eve of the U.S. presidential election four years ago, educated people nearly everywhere understood that China was the country of the future, green was the energy of the future, and Barack Obama was a man of destiny. How quaint it all seems now. In a remarkable piece of investigative journalism last week in the New York Times, reporter David Barboza identified assets worth $2.7 billion belonging to various members of the family of Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, including his 90-year-old mother, a retired schoolteacher named Yang Zhiyun.

You may have thought the most haunting news yesterday morning was the flooding of the FDR Drive, or the closure of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. Silly you. Such piffle was nothing compared to the nuclear force of the announcement among people who are consumed by the 2012 election that one of the 10 national “tracking” polls — which try to measure the short-term, day-to-day state of the presidential race — was shutting down due to the storm.

The eye of Hurricane Sandy hasn't hit land yet but state-run news outlets in countries at odds with the U.S. are brimming with apocalyptic coverage of the swirling weather system. Government news outlets in countries like Russia, Iran and Venezuela rarely hide their schadenfreude at American misfortunes, but some events shift this propensity into overdrive. Today, Sandy is God's gift to Uncle Sam's least favorite news outlets: For our comrades over in Russia, Hurricane Sandy has reached Super Bowl-like coverage.
