— CAC Y'all can get excited over Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Wisconsin and Nevada.
But I am extra giddy because my white whale has indeed returned.
And just think: all it took was 90 minutes.
The regional breakdown is pretty damning if one statistic holds. Look at SEPA (Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks, Chester counties). Republicans haven't lead in the Philadelphia burbs in 24 years.

Reposting from last post (for Jackhole).
Here is my take on the MSM right now. They know Obama is in deep trouble, they also know they have been carrying his water for the past few years because the majic has worn off. I think they are trying to figure out if they should make one final push to see if they can carry him over the finish line or to throw him under the bus in the name of saving their own careers and their liberal cause. Much easier to say, you know Obama just didn't want to be President anymore. That's why he just gave up. I honestly think they are torn right now. If things don't improve in a week, they will just give up.

I am hearing through my local grapevine that internal polling for Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick in Bucks County shows Romney leads in the 8th District. It went for Obama in 2008 and Kerry in 2004. I am seeing far more Romney signs than Obama signs around here, and this area was covered with Obama signs in 2008. The local Obama campaign office in Doylestown never seems to have anyone actually in it.
The polls in the PA Senate race are within the margin of error. A GOP poll has Keith Rothfus beating Mark Critz in Murtha's old district. Dems are leading in AG and state auditor races, but that is more a reflection on the current unpopularity of Gov. Corbett than any national races.
These are all very consistent with a close and winnable race for Romney in PA.

75% refers to the highest French tax rate, not the percentage of taxes paid by "the rich." It's ironic that the raising of the maximum rate in France will probably dramatically decrease the percentage of total taxes paid by the rich, since the rich will be...LEAVING.

Longtime Pottstown residents will recall that Lionel Douglass, Pottstown High School Class of 1973, spent five years inside the Big Bird suit both on the PBS television set and on stage as part of a road show.
Contacted Friday in California, Douglass said he was watching the debate Wednesday and was little taken aback by RomneyÂ’s decision to single out the beloved childhood symbol as being among the people he would fire as president.
“I mean he’s trying to get people to vote for him isn’t he?” Douglass, 57, said with a laugh.
Posted by: Dr Sheldon Cooper at October 09, 2012 08:58 AM (e8kgV)

Then again, Big Bird (and the rest of Sesame Street) are probably some of his best contributors online.

It's a urologist. If my GP did it he'd just drop by after work with a 12-pack and a swiss army knife and say "whip out your junk, bitch, and no whining..."

“I like PBS. I love Big Bird … But I’m not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for it,” Romney said during the debate.

Eh, so the consult is a second urologist? Or they just want to meet you first before scheduling an appointment.
If it's the former, I can't explain it other than "defensive medicine." If it's the latter, they likely just want to weed out people who aren't serious before they block off a part of their schedule and someone whimps out. (There are pretty well defined legal standards of what information has to be provided by the doctor before a procedure, might as well schedule you're "informed consent" days on different days than your actual snipping so you can maximize effiency in the way you see patients.)

Heh. When I got mine, the doc was ready to, um, prep the area. He clamps a one-sided razor blade in a pair of hemostats, waves it at me and says, "Are you a Republican or a Democrat?"

I think another reason why the Dems fought so far for ID is that minority vote actually INCREASES with ID. Why? Well if you live in a machine politics area, you will definitely think that your vote doesn't count, especially for downballot races.

I live in Montgomery County, PA. I doubt SE PA is going to go for Romney.
HOWEVER, where this is encouraging news is State, Local, US House and US Senate elections. Look, there is more damage done to communities at the local and state level. I really have high hopes that Romney will win, but if we have Senate Majority Leader Reid, that is the anchor that on the SS Romney which may make headway near impossible.
Keep pushing for the POTUS, but throw some effort and money at the other races. That marginal extra house, senate, state office can swing the course of history. (See also: Franken, Webb, et. al.)

It's all good.
I hope they will do a better job of watching the polls...with video cameras.
There is no telling how much skullduggery went on in 2008, that didn't get filmed like it was at that one polling site.
And like others have said...they will be even more desperate this time, to get Barky's numbers up.

The report cited that Romney is winning in the Philadelphia suburbs?! Be still my heart; this could mean game over.
Other folks may use telephone polls but I always counted lawn signs to guess at who was going to win. I have NEVER seen a Presidential election so devoid of lawn signs as this one. That said, there are no Obama signs around here, and only about 5 or 6 Romney signs. Only two bumper stickers, total; one for Obama 2012 and one Obama 2008.
This election may actually turn out to be FUN!
