Romney post-convention bump looks modest at best
The folks at Gallup have completed their post-GOP convention polling duties, and the reviews are not complimentary. Mitt Romney has enjoyed little or no post-convention bump, and his acceptance speech was rated excellent or good by just 38 percent of those who saw it.
While that may not sound terrible, Gallup reports that it is easily the worst rating given to any of the last eight convention acceptance speeches.
A Reuters-Ipsos poll also reports no sustained bump for Romney, and puts the race at essentially tied headed into the DNC convention in Charlotte.
“Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said she was confident Obama’s numbers would improve during his convention.
“The fact that Obama and Romney are still tied signals to me that we’re not going to see any sort of sustained bump for Romney,” Clark said. “As we go into next week’s convention, Romney will struggle to maintain even footing with the president – we’ll likely see a shift back towards Obama.”
While each candidate won overwhelming support from voters in his own political party, Romney was leading Obama among all-important independent voters by 33 percent to 28 percent, the poll found.”
Rasmussen reports what it calls a “modest” bounce for Romney, whom it has leading 48-to-44 percent.

I’d be careful calling anyone a liar with “Lyin Ryan” on the ticket. That man wouldn’t know the truth if it walked up to him and smacked him in the face.
That being said your rant proves my point. No plan, no ideas, false platitudes and backwards looking. Leave it to the Republicans party and women will be back in the kitchen bare foot and pregnant, Blacks will be in the back of the bus with no right to vote, Hispanics will be back across the boarder and Gays will be back in the closet. The key word all of these statements is BACK. That why every speaker at that convention spoke so much of the Founding Fathers. I don’t know why all you Conservatives don’t go and live among the Amish and don’t use a electricity and drive a horse and buggy. All your women can wear long dresses and keep their hair covered. Then again that might not work; the Amish are a little more progressive than the average Republican.

Last week, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that Rove had joked at a private fundraiser about killing Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), who was forced to apologize for saying women can’t get pregnant from “legitimate rape.”
“We should sink Todd Akin,” Rove said. “If he’s found mysteriously murdered, don’t look for my whereabouts!”
Rove later apologized to Akin, who is running for Senate in Missouri against Democratic incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill.
How dare Akin hurt the Republicans in the polls by speaking publicly about the true GOP.

Pre convention polls show a very tight race. Despite this, I’m cautiously optimistic. First I don’t want overlook the dark cloud behind my silver lining. The Romney Ryan boys have very deep pockets. Obama has proven to be an all time great at fund raising, but he’s no match for the GOP money machine. Is our little experiment in democratic government about to go to the highest bidder? I guess we’ll find out won’t we.
Now for the silver lining. There’s the little matter of the two and half hour Marathon Ryan claimed to have run. A little lie. Not much more than fib really. Just one of many, but at some point you reach the lie that broke the camels back. A campaign that stated it wouldn’t be dictated to by fact checkers still has to retain the faith of the voters. If they’re not to be held accountable by facts, then who are they to be accountable to? Only the voters really. At the end of the day we get the government we deserve. Some of us enjoy being lied to, and some of us don’t.
Where Do We Go From Here? Chaos or Community?

Clinton wants Hillary to run in 016 and therefore is allowing Obama to attempt campaigning on his record which Obama cannot do on his own. Given the fact that Democrats have a pretty slim depth chart in comparison to Republicans, Hillary is probably a shoo in for the nomination in 016. Clinton needs to appear as though he’s doing his best to support Obama to gain as much reciprocating support for Hillary in 016. Clinton’s mission at the convention will be to swing the undecided vote about 5% over to Obama with his keynote address. If Obama comes away with a 5 point plus bump it may signal that Clinton succeeded. It’s really a must do for the Obama campaign to get the majority of undecided voters as typically at this stage of a race the undecided’s break for an incumbents opponent.

Thulsa Doom's pledge to keep up and the liberals

College football opening weekend is like Christmas to me. I was spending Sat. afternoon drinking beer and watching football. I let my 10 month old puppy out back for about 2 minutes and took my eyes off of him. I guess he saw a bird or squirrel or something in the front and took off running. He got out in the road and the rest is history. It all happened about 2 hours before Bama was about to play UM which was to be the highlight of my year. Instead this is the saddest I’ve ever been in my life. My only consolation is that he died instantly. Its been personally devastating to me and I couldn’t eat for a day and woke up at 3:38 this morning and couldn’t sleep since then. He always slept in bed with me and that little 8 lb tyke was the world to me. He was a shizu and his name was Marley.
I thought about it all weekend and tried to make sense of it. I figured the good Lord is trying to tell me something and everything happens for a reason. While I was thinking about it I thought about keep up the good fight and doggone and some of the other dog lovers on here. I thought about keep because I remember the man was working with abused dogs and one of em chewed his hand up and had to be put down. And keep was kinda down over the fact that the dog had to be put down. There’s a lot of good in the man. Anybody that loves dogs there has to be good in them. Same with doggone and a lot of other liberals on here that I give a hard time to and generally just engage in jackassery.
So I’m going to make a pledge in honor Marley and call it the Marley pledge. I’m going to do my best to more civil to people like keep, kam, adam, etc. the whole lot of you durn libruls. I’m just sorry for all the times I’ve been a jackass to you guys. And I’m going to try my best to be civil and stay true to making something good come out of Marley’s passing and recognize the good in not only dog lovers like keep and doggone but everyone else on here. Hopefully I’ll keep that pledge. But ya’ll know my jackassery so you know it won’t be easy. I hope you guys call me out and hold me to it when I slip.
Everybody have a great Labor day and peace.

But, the decision to put the doddering, foolish Clint Eastwood on stage to humiliate an empty chair where he imagines our president sits–that is classic comedy gold. I guess I was wrong about Republicans not having a sense of humor. They are really funny–they just don’t intend it.

Once you have dealt with your loss, please consider adopting one from a pet rescue. My wife donates her time to Small Dog Rescue, which merged with Furkids. They usually have adoption sessions each Saturday at the Petco in Sandy Springs. They have too many abandoned dogs, in my opinion. God bless. It is obvious the joy your dog brought to you. God’s creatures. As they say dog is god spelled backwards.

“Eight years ago, there was undeniable evidence of a strengthening economy, and Bush won reelection”
Bush won reelection by using the “Code Red” terror alerts everyday in October 2004 and scaring everyone to death.

Doom, there are some great rescue groups like Adopt a Golden and Labrador Friends of the South if you want some great dogs that need love and forever homes. Don’t rush too fast. Take a few days and treasure the memories and let yourself grieve. You have lost a family member not just a “dog”. I took in a retired service dog for 2 years…he passed a week after his 15th bday…. (like a lab, he ate and then just fell over). It’s been years but I still remember him often and remember him sleeping next to me at night.

“Kitchen and dining room chairs going for Obama. Recliner and rockers as well.”
Translation. The overfed and lazy going for Obama.

Ok now that was freaking funny. Of course I thought MY crack about the toilet being flush with excitement was funny too but no one else did.

Eight years ago, there was undeniable evidence of a strengthening economy, and Bush won reelection.
100 years ago, there was an undeniable evidence of a passenger ship heading from the U.S. from the U.K.
And just like the economy in the 2000s, the Titanic came to an abrupt halt.

Most dogs were bred with specific purpose in mind, hunting, herding even war. The little shitzu was probably the first animal ever bred specifically for companionship. I’m truly sorry for your loss Doom.

Road scholar,
I think I’ll do that. I remember one time I was in SS and saw a lot of dogs there for adoption. Do you know their website?
“I hope you heal quickly so we can kick your butt here.”
Common sense I’ll be looking forward to the buttkicking. Thanks for the humor.
