| AMES, Iowa - President Barack Obama is poised to eke out a victory in the race for the 270 electoral votes needed to win re-election, having beaten back Republican Mitt Romney's attempts to convert momentum from the debates into support in all-important Ohio, according to an Associated Press analysis a week before Election Day. While the Democratic incumbent has the upper hand in the electoral vote hunt, Romney has pulled even, or is slightly ahead, in polling in a few pivotal states, including Florida and Virginia. The Republican challenger also appears

Obama has it sewn up, so you Dems don't need to worry. If you have something important to do you don't really need to vote. Or if the weather is bad. It's okay, Dems, you don't need to vote...

"To be sure, anything can happen to influence the Nov. 6 election." - article. Let's see, Romney is gaining in every poll except a couple which are oversampling Democrats by around 9% or even more. 0bama is even having to campaign in PA at this late date. That's the upper hand? Once more they are trying to influence the election rather than report it to suppress Republican turnout.

#4, I hope that's what is happening. I spoke with someone from the Romney campaign here in Loudoun County, VA this evening. She said that they are hearing that 0bama still has a slight lead in VA. I'll be making phone calls on Thursday. There have been a lot of IT transplants from CA here over the past several years, and it has unfortunately changed the political demographics in Northern Virginia from Republican to Democrat.

Thanks for the laugh, AssPress. Really needed it today. Does the 'upper hand' include PA, MI, MN, OR, WI,CO,NH, NV? All states that Obama won easily in 2008, where its now tied, or Obama is losing? Not to mention FL, NC, VA, or IN that Obama has now apparently thrown in the towel on those? He appears to be putting all his eggs in the OH basket and praying to Allah for a miracle on election night. Yup, sure sounds like a candidate with the 'upper hand' to me. /s

"I hope that's what is happening." That probably didn't come out quite right. IF/IF there is an effort to suppress turnout I hope it won't stop Republican voters from going to the polls.

A better way to look at it is that Romney has stabilized at 50%. He will also pick up some if not most of the undecided vote. Romney may not even need Ohio if he wins Wisconsin. In any event, I think Romney will take Ohio. The popular vote polls reflect nationwide trends. Why should Ohio be any different the rest of the country?

Attempted voter suppression by the Ass. Press. Broken glass, folks, broken glass.
Would someone please explain to me what wonderful turn of events since the 2010 mid-terms has reversed the stunning denunciation of Obama's policies which were manifested in those election results?

Ahh #16, you made me laugh out loud.
Looks like some "folks" (as Obama calls them) will be mighty unhappy on the 7th. When the minions riot in response to The Won's loss, he will "rise up" and calm the masses. This way he will have something positive said about him in the history books -- at least he stopped the rabid masses from destroying major cities, whatta guy!

Obama knew that Americans were under attack in Libya and denied their requests for help, then mitigated the evil of the attacking enemy by blaming it on a supposed American youtube video.
This is quintessential treason; no question about it. Obama (and Leon Panetta) should be prosecuted for this rather than contemplating re-election.

Sorry, AP. You will be in for a nice (for us) little surprise on November 7. The Bradley effect will be especially powerful especially for this (half) black candidate whose campaign has made it very much about race and not competence.
The MSM just doesn't have the same power to deceive voters now that it had in 2008. People are very mad with the way the economy is going and despite all the propagandizing, people are still seeing the truth about Obama's incompetence through alternative news media and grassroots networks laid down by TEA party activists. AP and all the other dinosaur media will not be able to lull the conservative voters into complacency again.
However, Obama can still win if he get enough aliens and zombies out, but this is not certain if Romney wins in a landslide. So, he is left with trying to get as many people to vote now before the whole Benghazi scandal blows up in his face.

As NewsBusters reported two weeks ago, CBS’s Bob Schieffer is fed up with the White House’s talking points concerning what happened at our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last September. His impatience continued on Sunday´s Face the Nation when Obama senior advisor Dan Pfeiffer gave stock answers to questions about the three crises facing the President leading Schieffer to first accuse his guest of taking "exactly the approach that the Nixon administration took" and finally scolding him by asking, "Why are you here today? Why isn´t the White House Chief of Staff here to tell us what happened?"

MINEOLA, N.Y. — A Hofstra University student being held in a headlock at gunpoint by an intruder was accidently shot and killed by a police officer who had responded to the home invasion at an off-campus home, police said Saturday. Junior public relations major Andrea Rebello was shot once in the head early Friday morning by an officer who opened fire after the masked intruder pointed a gun at the officer while holding the 21-year-old student, Nassau County homicide squad Lt. John Azzata said. In a tense confrontation with the officer, gunman Dalton Smith "menaces

I have always been skeptical of electric vehicles, mostly because of my perception that electric car makers are more interested in subsisting on government subsidies than in competing on a level playing field for my business. So I was intrigued when I got an email this morning from Jeff Evanson, Tesla Motors’ Vice-President of investor relations. Evanson, a long-time Power Line reader, pointed out that the company raised over $1 billion last week, and will use a portion of those proceeds to pay off its loan with the Department of Energy ahead of schedule.

Here is a woman we will need to learn much more about in the coming weeks. Sarah Hall Ingram is a highly valued employee at the IRS. In the last three years she has received $103,390 in bonuses for her excellent work. She was the Commissioner of the Tax-Exempt and Government Entitles Division. Under her leadership, groups that expressed a fear of large, out-of-control government were systematically crushed by her branch of our large, out-of-control government. They were specifically singled out for harassment for political reasons. Secret information about the conservative applicants was leaked to leftist

An exasperated Rep. Pat Tiberi on Friday asked the former acting chief of the IRS to explain to Congress why he would move the leader of the division that targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status to a branch that is overseeing one of the most partisan issues of recent memory — President Obama’s health care law. “Because she’s a superb civil servant, sir,” Steven Miller, who resigned under duress last week, told the Ohio Republican at a hearing before the House Committee on Ways and Means.

I was on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show last night, talking about the Benghazi talking point emails. Near the end of the segment, Hugh asked whether I thought the presidential election might have turned out differently if Obama and Clinton had not succeeded in covering up the truth about Benghazi. I was skeptical. The story of the election, I said, was the Obama campaign’s ability to turn out, once again, a large majority of the low-information voters who swept Obama into office in 2008. Few of those low-information voters, I said, would either have understood, or cared about, Benghazi

As tax collector for the nation’s second-largest state, I know it’s a necessary function — from the fire station to the space station, nothing government does is possible without taxes. But it’s sure no path to popularity. Tax collectors have had a rotten reputation since biblical times. For all the services and all the people that depend on it, our work has to be viewed as fair and even-handed. It’s a basic bond of trust, and once that trust is lost, it’s hard to get back. Our entire nation was born when the colonists decided Britain’s taxes were unfair

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

(Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
