Previously on The American Presidency:
After a series of clowns challenged front runner Mitt Romney, he thoroughly defeated all of them with assistance from his vast sources of totally unregulated money! After each opponent was dispatched a new idiot would rise above him, only to be dispatched in turn. Michelle Bachmann, Donald Trump, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum all stepped to the plate and all were crushed.
In this week's episode, the Republican National Convention! After Monday's session was pre-empted by a hurricane barrelling towards New Orleans nearly seven years to the day of Katrina making landfall and the nation becoming horrified at Republican rule for precisely long enough to elect a black man, before suddenly forgetting in approximately August of 2009. Today's featured speakers are Chris Christie, the Governor New Jersey who is not so secretly hoping for a Romney loss so he can run for the Presidency in 2016 when the GOP should have a good chance of winning regardless of the nation's situation, and Ann Romney, wife of Mitt and dancing horse enthusiast.
Tomorrow we get the Vice Presidential nominee, Paul Ryan, and Thursday we all watch college football instead. Technically a robot will speak and "make news," (lie) but robots are boring. FOOTBALL!!!
Then next week is the DNC. Where we don't have a full program yet, but we do know the popular (and young and Hispanic) mayor of San Antonio will be giving the keynote, Joe Biden will do his hilarious folksy attack dog thing on Wednesday, the President will speak Thursday evening, and at some point the Big Dog will probably combat the GOP's welfare lie.
Polling remains stagnant: slim national lead for Obama, somewhat more robust electoral college lead, with Ohio in particular continuing to be strong for the President.

The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

But yeah, Fox news is played at the cafeteria at work (with strict instructions not to touch the channels) and they have been pumping it really hard this week that Ohio is now tied (meaning Romney is gaining). I did think they were trying a bit too hard there.
Exactly two places in Ohio are Democratic.
There are also exactly two places in Ohio where there are large congregations of people in tightly packed places. Everyone else is in farms. So depending on who you ask and who you ascribe certain numbers and densities to, you can make Ohio look tied. You can even make it look super-Romney if you just ignore cities.
Ohio's been a blue state for, what, 3, 4, elections now?
EDIT: Wow, apparently not. For some reason I thought it was.
EDIT2: Well, it is pretty damn close. But it'll probably go Obama.
He just kept looking away. Then his eyes'd drift back to the camera and BAM deer in headlights thumpathumptump
It's just all coverage of the RNC and it's depressing. It's worse than the damn pledge drives.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
Yeah, don't underestimate the rural vote. That's what won prop 8 four years ago.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
With an exclusive contract. And Obama destroyed his company by opening up competition.
Is this guy for serious?
"I had a monopoly no-bid contract with the federal government, my only customer, and I made a killing. The Obama administration opened up the procurement process for for competitive bidding, and now I'm barely hanging on. I built my business with no help from the government, and now Obama killed it!"

Wait. Someone actually said this?
I need a clip.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus would make it three, no?
Mexicans CAN be people! And they can do so in non-threatening-to-White-Americans businesses like making road signs! See, we're friendly to latinos! And Obama fucked it all up!

Breaking: Rick Santorum: "Obama rules...!"

From what I remember about Cleveland it can be a little more iffy than the straight blue vote.
Although, yes, I may have forgotten about Columbus.
Sounds like par for the course for republican logic these days. And when someone will call them/him on it there will be outrage over the darn librul media
"I WILL REPEAL OBAMACARE MYSELF, DAY ONE!"
Yup. Those work together.
To be fair, Cleveland is mostly suburbs, with quite a few wealthy ones and a whole lot of religious private schools. So yeah I can see the area go red.
Rick Santorum in July 2011: "My first executive order would be to repeal ObamaCare."

Edit:
Oh abortion. Of course.
@Huu
Basically he's running on "I'm not that black guy."
That's it.
The fact that no matter what words he actually says he can at least deliver a speech way better than Romney and WHY DIDN'T YOU VOTE FOR ME.
Meanwhile, Abortion! Everyone drink!
Cleveland is super Democratic, as is Columbus. Toledo and Akron are fairly so. Cincinnati is pretty split down the middle.
Anyway by "strong" I mean "like consistently up 5-6 points in a way that continues to confuse me because: Ohio sucks."
Ohio isn't that....
Ah fuck it I went to damn Oberlin. I had to drive half an hour to see a damn movie. Ohio's goddamn terrible.
Lol. I must have hung out with the wrong crowd in Cleveland. I was constantly surrounded by conservatives.
But yeah, Ohio sucks.
My dad's from Ohio. I go there frequently. It mostly sucks.
Ann Romney at 10:15, Chris Christie at 10:40, and then of course the Daily Show at 11:00. But not actually part of the RNC for that one.
Cant ask republicans to work that hard or that long. It is not in their nature to work. I mean they cancelled a day because there was a storm somewhere in the nation.
*smug face*
What spring does with the cherry trees.
Its not polite to point out the bigots are bigots

"...(which is why I support legislation that would turn him back to Mexico instantly and possibly shoot him at the border just to be sure)"
Also this guy is a really boring speaker.

Oh, did you forget the republican tactics as of recent? Accuse the other side of what you're doing. Facts be damned.
