The popular
vote/electoral vote disparity I was on about earlier this week has
gotten even weirder. These early polls may not mean much, but the
PollTracker weighted average is now 47.3/47.2 in favor of Romney
(a dead heat), but the electoral vote, based on leads in state polling,
has Obama with 310, Romney holding with 191 (270 wins).
I still say that the Congressional balance is just as important as the
presidential election this year. I would like to see Obama going on a
broad scale offensive, along the lines of "Republicans have blocked
every attempt we've made to move forward. We can't afford to extend the
Bush tax cuts for the highest wealth of the richest and corporations
when our country needs important investments to recover the economy. Mr.
Romney's plan increases taxes on 95% of Americans while cutting taxes
even further for the richest Americans, and he has endorsed virtual
elimination of Medicare in the Heartless Paul Ryan budget plan. The
Affordable Care Act will ensure access to health care for the vast
majority of Americans, and all the obstructionist do-nothing
block-everything Republicans in Congress can come up with is over thirty
pointless, futile bills to repeal this law, while passing bill after
bill that will never become law to cut back on women's health care,
repeal the important financial reforms we passed to prevent another
financial collapse, and refusing to pass even the most basic needs like
the Transportation bill. We need your support not only to keep the White
House but to get rid of this Do-Nothing Congress and end the deliberate
obstruction of the Republicans so the people's business can get done
again!"
