    Day By Day by Chris Muir

    Children are wonderful and being a father of three daughters and one son, I can say this with emphasis.

    In fact, on Saturday, my oldest daughter, will be having a baby shower since she is due with her first child and my second grandchild in August.

    I am very happy!

    In blogging matters, I have been taking some time away from writing for some down time. I will resume more vigorous blogging and coverage of the Presidential campaign next week.

    Is Mitt Romney Too White for NAACP Address?

    July 10, 2012 /

    Wow!

    This Lefty group really knows how to sling the RACIST BS, now don’t they?

    In advance of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s speech Wednesday to the NAACP, a liberal group headed by a former New York Times reporter and ex-Media Matters executive have produced a video “satire” that claims blacks don’t like Romney, who they dub so white he makes “Wonder Bread look like pumpernickel.”

    The YouTube from “The Message,” an online “media hub,” is described as a satirical video of Romney getting advice on what to say to the civil rights group. Or, as they said in a release, the video “lacerates Romney and his advisors as they prepare for his speech to NAACP in Houston on Wednesday.”

    The lead “advisor” in the video is described as the brainchild of the 1992 Willie Horton ads and the 2004 swift boat campaign. He states bluntly that “blacks don’t like us and we’re about to give a speech to a whole lot of them.”

    I guess the LEFT feels that Romney must be beating President Obama with African-Americans? Or, can they just not help themselves in smearing Romney as a white racist?

    President Obama’s campaign should apologize to Romney and tell the LEFT to back off.

    This is just BS.

    Here is the video embedded below (watch it while you can):

    President 2012 Poll Watch: Obama 47% Vs. Romney 47%

    Obama+and+Romney President 2012 Poll: Romney Takes the Lead over Obama

    According to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll.

    “The lack of movement underscores intense polarization — about nine in 10 Republicans back Romney, and a similar proportion of Democrats support Obama — and a relatively small percentage of voters say there is a ‘good chance’ that they could change their minds before November. At this point, 74% of all voters are ‘definitely’ supporting Obama or Romney, and 12% say it is unlikely that they will switch from one to the other, making the race a settled issue for nearly nine in 10 voters.”

    In another poll, Romney has taken the national lead, albeit a slight one.

    Mitt Romney continues to hold a whisker-thin 1-percentage-point lead over President Obama in a head-to-head election match-up, but the former Massachusetts governor is eating into the president’s air of inevitability, according to the latest The Washington Times/JZ Analytics poll released Monday night.

    The poll found Mr. Romney leading 43 percent to 42 percent — about the same margin as the poll in May, but Mr. Obama slipped on several key measures, including fewer voters who say they expect him to win, and fewer who say they are voting for him because he’s the best candidate.

    The White House can read the polls and this is why the President has been attacking Romney so early in the race. But, will it be effective?

    I doubt it.

    The country is polarized and the election will come down to Ohio, Virginia and Nevada. Numerous ads have already been playing in those states and those folks must be sick of them already.

    If the economy improves, President Obama will win re-election. If it doesn’t, he won’t.

    Quite simple really.

    Swing States Poll Watch: Obama 47% Vs. Romney 45%

    July 9, 2012 /

    The Obama and Romney campaigns are already in full advertising mode – in a race that is virtually tied.

    In the 12 battleground states, the race is all but tied. Obama leads Romney 47%-45% among 1,200 registered voters in the poll June 22-29 — a tick closer than Obama’s 48%-44% lead among 2,404 voters in the rest of the USA over the same period.

    The swing states survey focuses on a dozen states that aren’t firmly aligned with either Democrats or Republicans. That puts them in a position to tip the outcome in the Electoral College. The states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

    The candidates expend enormous time and effort raising money in such cities as New York, Los Angeles and Houston so they can then spend most of that money on ads in such media markets as Colorado Springs, Orlando and Richmond, Va.

    The ad wars in just a few states, rather than policy positions will decide the Presidency.

    Remember the Electoral College decides the race and again, here is my prediction for November:
