I asked this last night.
Is there any record in previous elections of endorsers switching from their previous endorsement for the winner, to dropping the incumbent, and going with the challenger?
Like in 2000 endorsing Bush, then in 2004 switching to endorsing Kerry?
Are this elections number of switchers ordinary, or out of the norm?

National:
O+0.94% - Current RCP Average
O+0.58% - Average using the 2008 turnout model
R+2.09% - Average using the D+3 turnout model
R+4.22% - Average using the 2010 turnout model
R+4.29% - Average using the 2004 turnout model
R+5.90% - Average using the Rasmussen Party ID turnout model
Ohio:
O+2.13% - Current RCP Average
R+8.61% - Average using the 2004 turnout model
O+0.74% - Average using the 2008 turnout model
R+5.43% - Average using the 2010 turnout model
R+6.04% - Average using the 2012 registration model
R+2.58% - Average using the D+3 turnout model
I analyzed the new PPP and Gravis Ohio polls, and they are insanely over weighted. Romney is winning Ohio easily, even using Obama's best case turnout model of Dem +3.
Notice the shift in Obama's campaigning? He is going to IA and NH. He is trying to deny Romney that last state, since Ohio is looking so bad for him now.

WASHINGTON — The United States and Iran have agreed in principle for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, according to Obama administration officials, setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a military strike on Iran.
Iranian officials have insisted that the talks wait until after the presidential election, a senior administration official said, telling their American counterparts that they want to know with whom they would be negotiating.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the 55-year-old filmmaker responsible for the anti-Muslim video that President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice initially and wrongly blamed for inciting the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, is still being held at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) without bond.

Meanwhile, the candidates Obama brought it from his Chicago and radical circles were so toxic and repulsive that he had to create czar posts that didn't require embarrassing Senate approval. And he had to drag in hundreds of hostile Clinton retreads to fill his undercard, because there were so few effective and successful Democratic women running anything anywhere.
I assume the Clintonistas sent over the resumes in tidy piles wrapped with rubber bands, to avoid the stigma of binders.

The most decorated Olympian finally met his idol, Michael Jordan, on Monday night. Jordan made a surprise appearance during a taping of "Feherty Live," and Phelps was so overwhelmed he could barely speak.
"I froze. That's the one person in the world who could do that to me," Phelps said afterward. "I literally have always looked up to him."

That's how clueless the media is, Gregory thinks he's helping TFG by ignoring the real issues and focusing on this shit. The reality is, abortion, birth control and this other shit ain't going to change an Presidential election, it never has. But Gregory and his moronic comrades refuse to realize this because that's the shit they care about.

The resulting political paralysis coming at such a critical time as the country edges toward the fiscal cliff would collapse confidence and suck markets into a black hole that nobody knows how they would look coming out the other side.

Today, we rarely hear a moral defense for free enterprise from our politicians, which is why Romney's statement was so striking. And the general lack of moral defense explains why - despite the fact that surveys find a large majority of Americans think the government is too big and trying to do too much - we acquiesce to larger and larger government from both parties. Indeed, it is why government at all levels has grown from 15 percent of U.S. GDP in 1940 to more than 35 percent today, and - according to the Congressional Budget Office - will hit 50 percent in 2038.

Bolton will be on FNC at 10 to discuss Libya. That should be interesting.
Ledeen has a column in which he says talks with Iran are nothing new and that he himself participated in some for Reagan in the 80's.
He also said that VALERIE JARRETT has been leading the delegation to these talks.

Population. With Ohio slipping away from him, Obama's only remaining play is to deny Romney the final state he needs to go over the top. If Romney wins NH, WI, IA, CO, NV, NM, or OR (not to mention large states like PA or MI), he wins the election.
In these smaller states, Obama might be able to swing the state into his column if he can get a few 10s of thousands to turnout for him. 100,000 more votes in all of these states could save him, where 100,000 more votes in Ohio won't.
This is why you will see both campaigns outside of Ohio during the next few weeks and in places like Iowa and Nevada.

And as the press will spin it:
(AP) The event, scheduled to be held in the Pak n' Save's luxuriously appointed ladies room, was quickly filled to beyond capacity, when event organizers were forced to move the venue out of doors to handle the unexpectedly large turnout. Ms. Fluke, getting up from her knees after caucusing one event goer, a broad smile on her eager face, paused before speaking to the overflow crowd to wipe something off her chin. "That'll be five dollars", the spunky coed quipped, "And don't forget, the half and half is only 7 dollars today!".

Tami,
Is the bird injured or just stunned? Check to see if anything is broken, if you put it in your hand will the bird try to spread it's wings? Also, it's a good idea to rinse the bird off with water, because doggie mouth germs will cause infections in birds. If it's only slightly injured you could take it to a bird sanctuary.
I have yorkie that loves to kill birds, I have a closed in deck but occasionally someone will leave the door open and a bird will fly in, but if my dog gets it she breaks its neck with in seconds.
Good luck

It is outside....on the deck.
Which reminds me of a funny story. My daughter found an injured bird. She found a box to put it in and went into her room to get something to put inside the box. She came out with a t-shirt and I said, don't ruin a t-shirt get an old rag. She said, "Mom....it's that stupid Obama shirt someone gave me. Bird crap is all it's good for."

I had to the Cleveland area for business for several days. The political ads were interesting in the way they made their pitch:
The pro-Obama ads were all "tax-cuts for the eeeeeeeeeeeevil rich guys that don't work hard." It was purely negative with no affirmative reason to vote for Obama.
The pro-Romney ad was ex-Mayor/Governor/US Senator Voinovich telling voters that Obama's policy failures were due to not reaching out to Republicans but Romney had been a governor with an 80% Democrat legislature and he has a history of working with Democrats in order to get legislation passed.
The SCOAMF is not offering his base any positive vision in a region that is dominated by Democrats while Romney is trying reassure them.

And a deceit man he was... tried to score political points with the antiwar crowd by strong arming the South Dakota governor into taxing and forcing military dependents stationed in SD into getting state driver's licenses.
Said that they weren't in the military, only the sponsor was. Tried to make military life for them as complicated as he could.

@76- Ben Franklin...despite the fact that surveys find a large majority of Americans think the government is too big and trying to do too much - we acquiesce to larger and larger government from both parties...
*****
What I found striking about the first debate was the fact that Lehrer actually asked a question that included the phrase, "is that a proper role for government." And yet that exchange got exactly zero play in the post-debate discussions. We need to continue to stress this concept under the coming Romney administration.

As far as the Sandra Fluke event, I was told it was attended by 10 old grannies who were afraid someone would take their right choose and birth control away and then push them off a cliff---but I was misinformed I suppose.

I'm sure Gregory had his orders. The media listen to their masters' voices One talking head can easily be replaced by another, younger talking head. If Gregory, for instance, was told to take a hike, where else could he find a job in the private sector with the same benefits and "stature"? Big Media is a gilded birdcage for hacks like Crowley and Gregory. Eff 'em.

I strongly suspect Greg Gutfeld is a moron.

Well said, SFGoth.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned about McGovern is the op-ed he wrote for the WSJ about a decade ago. He described how he bought a hotel and was frustrated by government regulations and red tape while trying to run it.
RIP George, and thank you for your service. Posted by: rickl
Think of his life as a parabola (a "U" for you poets) with the 2 ends being WWII and his WSJ op-ed. What's astonishing is that hardly anyone in '72 knew how much of a stud he was. (Contrast LBJ, who faked earning his bronze star. I wish he had earned it, posthumously. IMO, LBJ is worse than Carter.)

Today is the LAST day to sign up for election day work. I got an email back within a day, but I used a link I had gotten from an email, so they knew I was a donor.
They said they would be back in touch. They are vetting everyone to make sure we don't get spies and third party agents. You request from ace's site is public, so expect them to take longer. I was told I would hear within a week what they want me to do. I suspect they are waiting for the dead line, TONIGHT, before they start sorting out who goes where, etc.
Thanks for volunteering.

yep- recently came across an LBJ quote concerning the passage of the Great Society legislation
(Paraphrasing)
'We pass this and the (N-word)s will be voting for us for the next hundred years'

To his credit, he admitted he was wrong about a lot of liberal dogma, when he saw the results of government regulation intervention on his own small business. He wrote an op-ed on the subject at the WSJ.

Exactly. We wouldn't recognize some of these "old" Democrats as Democrats any more. That's how far left they have gone...

Fox News hints Kate Upton may no longer be single.
Sad news for those obsessed with Ms. Square-tits.
Posted by: eman at October 21, 2012 12:08 PM (+XD7n)
In ten years, Kate Upton's tits will be pointing towards her toes, and with fifty extra pounds of ass, she'll look like any other Walmart super-sized woman in Spandex. Clunk'd clunk'd, clunk'd.

Ran across this in my traveling. Seriously, Ace should ask if he can just post this here, as is, it's worth it since you need to volunteer now.

A great spot for that would be at the top of the sidebar.

If it hadn't been for McGovern helping to change the Dem Party nominating rules, there may not have been a Pres. Obama

The pro-Romney ad was ex-Mayor/Governor/US Senator
Voinovich telling voters that Obama's policy failures were due to not
reaching out to Republicans but Romney had been a governor with an 80%
Democrat legislature and he has a history of working with Democrats in
order to get legislation passed.

Where did you see that ad? Or maybe my internal defense mechanisms have blotted out anything with Groin-itch in it.
Dickless Durbin is going complete retard on FNS against Miss Lindsey on Benghazi.

Cap'n: if you're still around, sorry for the delay in answering (had a drain backup to deal with). I heard the ad on a radio station. I couldn't tell you which one, but they were playing ads from both campaigns.
