Poll: Romney Up 16% With
Pennsylvania Independents

Breitbart's Big Government, by Ben Shapiro Original Article

Posted By: Photoonist- 10/31/2012 9:06:50 PM Post Reply

According to a new poll from Franklin and Marshall, Mitt Romney is just four percentage points behind President Barack Obama … in Pennsylvania. In September, that gap was a full nine points. “Momentum is with Romney,” says poll director Terry Madonna. Madonna thinks that Romney may run out of time to make up that deficit. But the internals of the poll are shocking for Obama. Romney is ahead of Obama in terms of who the public believes can best fix the economy. (Snip) this is a D+13 poll. That’s out of line, since Obama only won the state in 2008

Water is everywhere in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy – in basements, on the streets and in transit systems – but the one place that flood water is most dangerous is in your body. ABC News chief health and medical editor Dr. Richard Besser collected floodwater and drinking water in some of the areas hit hardest by Sandy and had them tested at The Ambient Group lab. The floodwater collected in Lower Manhattan tested positive for gasoline and two types of bacteria found in sewage: E. coli and coliform. “Very dangerous,” Besser said.

It comes down to numbers. And in the final days of this presidential race, from polling data to early voting, they favor Mitt Romney. He maintains a small but persistent polling edge. As of yesterday afternoon, there had been 31 national surveys in the previous seven days. Mr. Romney led in 19, President Obama in seven, and five were tied. Mr. Romney averaged 48.4%; Mr. Obama, 47.2%. The GOP challenger was at or above 50% in 10 polls, Mr. Obama in none.

Bill Clinton is trying to ruin it for Obama on purpose. Joe Biden just can’t help it. Obama’s stuck with both of them.One. Heartbeat. Away. Courtesy of Ace, who asks: Does anyone in the media worry that the currently-serving Vice President isn’t mentally all there? We had a National Panic about this when Sarah Palin was running for the post. Not a week goes by that Joe Biden doesn’t have a senior moment, but apparently it’s now okay that the Vice President might be ever so slightly mentally checked out.

Mitt Romney‘s presidential campaign says it’s not harboring any hard feelings for Chris Christie after the New Jersey governor effusively praised President Barack Obama‘s response to Hurricane Sandy. “Gov. Christie is doing his job,” Romney senior adviser Russ Schriefer said during a Wednesday conference call. Schriefer’s comments were made in response to a question from a reporter asking if the campaign is “annoyed” by the Republican Christie’s positive words for a Democratic president.

The Drudge Report, the heavily-trafficked blog run by conservative Matt Drudge, is up with a new headline hyping a "sex scandal to hit campaign..." According to Drudge, the story is "developing." Drudge, a close personal friend of Mitt Romney's campaign manager Matt Rhoades, has hyped up several exclusive news stories during the 2012 campaign cycle, most of which have fallen flat. So our hopes aren't too high for his latest report.

Pastor Joseph Lowery, a civil rights movement hero who delivered the benediction at President Obama’s inauguration, reportedly said that he is shocked that any black Americans would stay home with Obama on the ballot and suggested that all or most white people would go to hell. The local outlet paraphrases Lowery’s comments. “Lowery said that when he was a young militant, he used to say all white folks were going to hell,” the Monroe County Reporter (Ga.) says in covering a rally in Forsyth, Georgia. “Then he mellowed and just said most of them were. Now, he said, he is back

The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News. Summarizing an Aug. 15 emergency meeting convened by the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Aug. 16 cable marked “SECRET” said that the State Department’s senior security officer, also known as the RSO, did not believe the consulate could be protected.

On last night’s edition of MSNBC’s Hardball, host Chris Matthews had particularly strong words for politicians, fundraisers, corporations, and individuals who deny or are skeptical of the theories about man-made climate change. Speaking with Professor Michael Oppenheimer of Princeton University and Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA), Matthews argued that the Hurricane Sandy disaster is an eye-opener about what role climate change should play in policymaking and this election. Rep. Markey argued that the hurricane “frames the election next Tuesday” as a battle between “Mother Nature” and

Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod said Wednesday he’s so confident that the president will defeat Mitt Romney in Minnesota, Michigan and Pennsylvania next week that he’ll shave his moustache of 40 years if Obama doesn’t win. “I have put my moustache on the line,” Axelrod said on a conference call with reporters. Axelrod said Republicans are “simply not going to win” there despite the Romney campaign and other Republican-affiliated super PACs devoting last minute resources to those Obama-leaning states. Axelrod first made the wager Wednesday morning on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

Bananas could be set to become the new potatoes, as global warming affects growing patterns around the world, a new report on world agriculture suggests. Rising temperatures in some places may improve the productivity of bananas, the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research says. At the same time, climate change could be bad news for potatoes in many areas, because they prosper in cooler climates. "Warmer winters, especially, may provide an opening for bananas in places that currently grow potatoes," the report says. "Warmer weather can also reduce the time

In an effort to maximize the benefit of Colin Powell's recent endorsement, the Obama campaign is out with a new radio ad today touting the Republican former Secretary of State's support for the president, highlighting remarks he made in a recent interview with CBS News' Charlie Rose. The minute-long ad, which according to the campaign will air in Florida, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Virginia, New Hampshire, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada, and Colorado, replays a clip of Powell's October 25 endorsement, which he announced on "CBS This Morning."

I’ve got to admit, it’s somewhat comical to watch the debate over polls that regularly takes place on Twitter. Partisans on both sides are questioning samples, methodology, and each other. And while they’re obsessing over the minute details of often-questionable polling, they’re missing the fundamental story of this election: President Obama is on track to perform at a historically low level among white voters, and he needs to compensate by attracting overwhelming support from minorities, along with a big turnout by them. (Snip) Meanwhile, the Obama turnout machine isn’t quite as

The ride on the Obama bus gets bumpier as more bodies are thrown under it. The latest to go thumpity thump are journalists who trumpeted the administration's excuse that faulty intelligence is why the president said for so long the attack on our consulate in Benghazi was a "spontaneous" protest over a Youtube video. The journalists went under the bus because the Foreign Service and career intelligence officers the administration tried to scapegoat refused to go there. They've leaked emails that reveal the White House was informed while it was still going on that the attack

NEW YORK- Drivers and homeowners scrambled to secure fuel for their cars and generators in the U.S. Northeast on Wednesday as storm-hit gasoline stations started to run dry.

Reports of long lines, dark stations and empty tanks circulated across the region. Some station owners were unable to pump fuel due to a lack of power, while others quickly ran their tanks dry because

With less than a week before the election, the race for the White House is dead even: Barack Obama and Mitt Romney receive 46 percent each, according to a Fox News poll of likely voters. Romney had a razor-thin 46-45 percent edge earlier this month, after the first presidential debate (October 7-9). Interviews in areas affected by Hurricane Sandy were completed before Monday evening, when the hurricane made landfall. Independents give the edge to Romney by seven percentage points (46-39 percent). That’s down from a 12-point advantage in early October. There’s a gender gap in vote
