H/T to Bosman at RightSpeak.com Barack Obama’s standing in Nevada has taken a significant turn in the wrong direction since early January and it appears he could have a much tougher time in the state next year than he did in 2008, particularly if the Republicans nominate Mitt Romney. Favorable/Unfavorable/Not sure: Mitt Romney 43/43/14 ( [...]

From Mark B. Lowe at Race42012 The Washington Post, in conjunction with ABC News has just released a new poll. It shows President Obama continuing his slow sinking in the polls since January. Obama’s job approval/disapproval rating is pegged at 47/50 — the worst this year for both numbers. His handling of the economy is [...]

Boy is Obama going to have a VERY tough fight on his hands!  I have the feeling that Mitt Romney is not going to let Obama wiggle away from his record.  Watching Romney debate Obama would be the difference between knowledge and ignorance.  One knows a lot, and the other know very little.  One has [...]

Charles Krauthammer and Kristen Powers say that Romney is the best candidate to go against Obama in 2012.  Kristen states that he would be “the best candidate in 2012.”  Note that she didn’t say “the best to go against Obama”, but THE best in 2012.”  She also points out that she feels that he would [...]

Mitt lays out a pretty good case for Ben Bernanke here.  He states that Bernanke is not without mistake, but he is afraid Obama would appoint someone far worse.  Neil told Romney he did such a good job he could be a “co-anchor.” As always, Mitt performed very well in this interview.  He didn’t sound [...]
