The Bucknuts Hot Spot

Just read on Yahoo, the networks and they are projecting Obama wins Pennsylvania, huge turn of events.
This could be a barn burner.
Lead in Ohio looked pretty safe according to one analyst, who showed the saving of the auto industry played big in Ohio, and huge in Michgan. Michigan reported Obama fast, no surprise really, but a good amount of electoral votes.
Will all those chicken scratch small states out west add up enough for Romney?

Not me.

Bam's got this ish on lock.

Yep, Federal Reserve can make or break a president, that is fact.

Fox Sports reporting Obama to win Wisconsin. No shock, Ryan's bone head remarks about Wisconsin shortly after he was picked for VP did him in, what a stupid statement he made public about taking on unions like in Wisconsin, brilliant PR.

The founding fathers were brilliant in designing the electoral college.

Sounds like Ohio is Obama's, just a matter of time.
The auto bail out played huge in Ohio and Michigan, and you have vendors and steel suppliers tied to that as well, which helps Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Illinois and other states or counties two US auto giants are tied to and their huge amounts of suppliers.
The last two debates it was rumored a more aggressive Obama took momentum away from Romney in round one, he seemed to ease off the pedal in those last two debates.

From a PR perspective it is. You talk about unions and taking on that kind of work environment in this economy, those words and phrases echo around for a while and come back and haunt you in those key battle grounds.
You can speak from the heart all you want, you can also put your foot in your collective mouth for an election, and that is what Ryan did.
He can pull it out now any time he likes. Not a smart move at all.

Yeah, and I am sure Ryan in not hiding behind tax breaks, hidden agendas with big time right wing power brokers, and professionals and companies greasing his skids.
If he is, he is the only politician at his level to be doing that. They all are crooked, including Ryan.

By the time this is over, it will be Obama's by a large margin of electoral votes. It isn't close - the news outlets are just making it look that way to keep eyeballs on the screen. Say "hello" to class warfare...

Yup, but the popular vote will be razor thin and may favor Romney.

I am just so deflated, I really am.

Im with ya dude!

I've always felt that way before I lost my job this summer. I'm in Toledo now. I have a master's degree and a journalism degree from OSU, and it's absolutely impossible to find a job. I've applied for 60 or so jobs, and this week I have an interview to be a substitute high school teacher for about 80 bucks a day. That's it. I've applied for jobs I'm qualified for. I've applied for entry level jobs as a teller at a bank. Nothing. When I look for jobs, it seems the only things readily available are for nurses and truck drivers.

I have some friends who have family that own fairly large companies who say that when the Obamacare requirements kick in next year, there are going to be more layoffs to balance the books. I'll probably be joined by a lot more people trying to get a job.

On top of the economy, we have the huge problem of debt. The Republicans spent record money under Bush. Obama has tripled those numbers. We're heading towards Greece and Italy. Both parties will get us there, but it's pretty clear that Obama will get us there faster. It's not all his fault, but he's definitely made it worse.
