Our President,...up against forces never before seen......still knocking them down like dominos....
CHICAGO Today, Obama for America released the following statement from Campaign Manager Jim Messina:
Three things are now absolutely clear in this race we have a significant early vote advantage in states from North Carolina to Nevada, there is no Romney momentum in the battleground states, and the Romney campaign has found itself with a tremendously narrow and improbable path to 270 electoral votes. Now, like Republicans did in 2008, they are throwing money at states where they never built an organization and have been losing for two years. Lets be very clear, the Romney campaign and its allies decision to go up with advertising in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Minnesota is a decision made out of weakness, not strength.
The President is leading or tied in every battleground state across the country, and he leads early voting in every state across the country. Governor Romney has not been able to put away a single battleground state in fact, as polls in the past day have showed the candidates tied in North Carolina, Republicans have raced to increase their television advertising there.
Voters who havent heard from the Romney campaign in two years will see this desperation for what it is.

The Wielding Truth

(149,571 posts)is my perception of what's going on. If you throw out the Republican Polls,Romney has never had a clear lead in North Carolina period. When his campaign claimed they were moving out of North Carolina, they were bluffing period. He can't depress the vote in North Carolina. They talk about all the major newspapers in Iowa has endorsed Romney but all the major news papers in North Carolina has actually endorsed President Obama. He can't afford to lose North Carolina because that is 15 electoral votes. Pennsylvania is probably another bluff to hide their real troubles in North Carolina, Virginia and Florida. President Obama won all three of those Southern States in very close contests. He has a good chance of winning in all three again. If he does, the race is over. Those three Southern States were suppose to be Romney's firewall while he spent all his resources in the Midwest.
