Obama Camp Calls Out Romney's 'Desperate' Battleground State Expansion Bluff

Obama Camp Calls Out Romney’s ‘Desperate’ Battleground State Expansion Bluff

By: Guest ContributorOct. 30th, 2012more from Guest Contributor

CHICAGO – Today, Obama for America released the following statement from Campaign Manager Jim Messina:

“Three things are now absolutely clear in this race – we have a significant early vote advantage in states from North Carolina to Nevada, there is no Romney momentum in the battleground states, and the Romney campaign has found itself with a tremendously narrow and improbable path to 270 electoral votes. Now, like Republicans did in 2008, they are throwing money at states where they never built an organization and have been losing for two years. Let’s be very clear, the Romney campaign and its allies decision to go up with advertising in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Minnesota is a decision made out of weakness, not strength.

“The President is leading or tied in every battleground state across the country, and he leads early voting in every state across the country. Governor Romney has not been able to put away a single battleground state – in fact, as polls in the past day have showed the candidates tied in North Carolina, Republicans have raced to increase their television advertising there.

“Voters who haven’t heard from the Romney campaign in two years will see this desperation for what it is.”

This sounds like very good news, but the only poll to have absolute faith in is the one showing actual voting results on November 6, 2012. It’s heartening to know that the Obama campaign has a good on-the-ground operation, but it’s up to all of us to vote as early as we can to ensure that he continues to occupy the White House for the next 4 years.

    Common sense (Of which you sorely lack),
    1. Three sentences cannot be a “one liner”.
    2.Comedian “AND” chief??? It would be comedian IN chief.
    3.It’s not “your with the 23″ it’s YOU’RE with the 23.

    No, you would not have heard from the Obama campaign in four years, because, once he was inaugurated, that was the Obama administration. You can go to whitehouse.gov if you want to keep current.

Mike believes in NPR, Clear Channel, and by his comment possibly the Easter Bunny, Santa and the Tooth Fairy.
