because obama is really not serious about terror you guys. he killed bin laden and all his men, but those people didn't really matter. i mean, when was the last time bin laden killed 3000 people? he's old news.
Waste of time.

Time to put them to bed again. Media is already making MI the new OH.
R/R's final push plan:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/zekejmiller/romney-ryan-to-begin-final-stretch-on-friday-with
Wonder what O has gotten planned for the final 3-4 days?
with ohio done, romney can flip new hampshire, iowa, virginia, and colorado, and still lose by 4 evs. it'll be 271-267 obama. he'd also need to get michigan, wisconsin, or pennsylvania somehow.
obama's going to win by a lot more than 4 evs. it's going to either be 303 or 332 at this rate.
it will be a late night a week from now, but we should know the results very soon.

You just gotta believe.
Being the president and cleaning up after Sandy.cartoon_soldier said:
Mitt is such a sideshow.
probably bill fucking clinton, who single-handedly took on 230 republicans and won.

The Obama-O'Biden-Ohio-Omega-O'peration
Not asleep yet. This iPad by the bed and being able to come here within a moment's notice is making PoliGAF a bad, bad addiction. Gotta turn it off and resist the urge to pick it back up.
It'll be a late night for sure, assuming that the margins on these states are more like 2004 than 2008. But hopefully we should have enough states called by 12:00AM, ET to know..
I was having a very stupid discussion on FB with two random right wingers who kept insisting Bhengazi was both a huge deal and all 100% Obama's fault. Yet oddly enough he didn't deserve a shred of credit when it came to killing Bin Laden for some reason.

One thing is that a good chunk of newly registered AAs put themselves down as independents, so the NC margin could be higher.
Maybe.

RAND: Obama 49.8, Romney 45.7 O+4
tightened a bit again, but expected. Hopefully it starts to level off in a couple days and maintains over 3.

I'm really enjoying the significance of this election a lot more than 2008. 2008 felt like such an unearned victory, just be the not-Bush party and wait for victory. This time they'll win on the strength of Obama's record, and winning the debate on the issues. The 2008 election was fun with Palin and all, but this victory will be a lot sweeter.

their hate of Obama is preventing rational objective analysis.
At worse, some bureaucrats fucked up. It would be the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) that is responsible the State Department's Libya threat assessment and decisions about security requirements. And yes, President is ultimately responsible. But do you blame Obama when your mail is late? They need to figure out what was done wrong & fix it.
But to paint it as some sort of intentional thing is just nonsensical and paranoid conspiracy theory.

We did it last time, we can DO IT AGAIN.
As long as everyone actually goes and votes.
Too bad we'll probably validate our votes too late for anyone to really note Nebraska splitting it's EVs again

Obama only needs one of those. Romney pretty much needs all three.

Im surprised VA didnt try to pass a voter id law to stop the evil coloreds from voting!

BTW, a 5% lead with 3% MoE is 95% to win. In other words, not even Wolf can call it tied!

What the Obama Adminstration called the Benghazi attack made no difference to whether or not anyone died. The attack was over at that point.

Obummer watched the attack live as it was playing out and did NOTHING.

They were saying that Obama intentionally didn't send help to the Embassy and was willing to accept those people's death as collateral damage because it ruined his image as someone who "tamed the muslim fanatics".
Also amusingly enough, when asked if Bush deserved any blame for 9/11, they decided to take responsibility
by blaming it on Clinton.
looking pretty good for obama

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
As far as I can tell they're trying to show that Obama is soft on terror and blamed the problem on the anti-Islamic video (i.e. they're saying he blamed America). Even as a follower of politics I can't figure out what exactly the deal is.
What about the other 5%

Can we make a bitter tears thread with Gaf's right wing fam/friends/co workers responses on a Obama 2nd term?

They already had a voter ID law.
They actually watered it down somewhat to allow additional forms of ID this time around.
The worst part about VA is no early voting without an excuse.

Who knew Norquist was going to help Obama? What a fucking moron.
Yup.
At best, what I THINK they were trying to say was that Obama thought he could stop muslim fanatics just by being Obama (the Messiah, if you will). When these same fanatics started causing trouble, this ended up ruining the image that Obama crafted of himself and hence why he was blaming the violence on that stupid movie, when the real issue is that Obama's disastrous foreign policy to blame.
...fuck I dunno, I tried.
I have no idea how anyone could think Obama is soft on terrorists. He's gunned after them harder than even Bush did. Obama has ordered tons of drone strikes violating Pakistani air space and even ordered that Marine hit on Osama Bin Laden beside the Pakistani Military Academy without telling Pakistan.
Bush stopped pursuing the terrorists the second he saw an opportunity to trick the world into going into Iraq, despite Iraq being completely unrelated to terrorists. Bush is the one who decided it wasn't worth the effort to pursue Osama Bin Laden or even finish off the Taliban.
