"...Swing States Poll Shows Obama and Romney in a Virtual Tie"
I believe those "swing states" have made a right turn since Obama is now AKA, "The Gay President"!

Which rock are these people from that could even think of voting for Obama again ?????
Daily this guy is doing something to bring America down. If re-elected he will speed his destruction up. So many businesses have gone under or left the country and the small businesses are struggling to keep the doors open.
Who will pay for Obama's spending and regulations, and wasteful green jobs and all his government programs that more and more have come to depend on. He gets back in and jobs will flee from America so fast that the stupid people on the government dole will then see the light when all their freebees get cut to look like third world countries. Wake up before it is too late.
Atlas Shrugged in real life.

Obama and Romney TIED, that will change when America learns that the Obama Administration has been releasing Taliban Fighters from GITMO.
THAT'S RIGHT OBAMA HAS RELEASED TALIBAN FIGHTERS FROM GUANTANAMO,
CUBA PRISON, SENT THEM HOME TO TRAIN AND COME BACK WITH
NEW AND IMPROVED IED's
How is that folks our fearless leader is turning loose the Taliban fighters.
What does tell you about our National Security, while Obama cuts
Our Military.

Friend Jacob, I understand your frustration with the Senate. Same thing happened to Pelosi. Passed a slew of bills and they stalled in the Senate, because of Pub opposition. It's ridiculous it takes 60 votes in the Senate to pass anything. That is not how the founding fathers envisioned the role of the Senate. It's not the Pubs or the Dems, it's both. They've rigged the rules so now the Senate is completely incompetent.

Please clarify your comment:
"...because of the Republican blockade in Congress"
Everywhere I look, it is the Senate-controlled Dems who are stonewalling Congress:
1) Republicans in the House have already passed a number of common-sense bills to address rising energy prices and create the jobs that we need, but the Democrat-controlled Senate continues to sit on them: http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?postid=290156
2) Nearly 30 Bipartisan Jobs Bills Await a Vote in Senate; More on the Way: http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?postid=274123
3) The Week Ahead: Addressing Gas Prices, Repealing IPAB Rationing Board, & More: http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?postid=285272
4) Senate Democrats Stall House-Passed Bills to Address Gas Prices, Create Jobs: http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?postid=288506
5) GOP.gov/SOTU Promo Trailer: 1,000 Days Without a Budget
http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?postid=275702
6) Helping Our Veterans Find Work : http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?postid=268767
7) New Bill to Help Create Jobs, Lower Gas Prices, Repair Infrastructure -- Without Earmarks: http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?postid=276983
8) Boehner: Balanced Budget Amendment Would Set Spending Restraints in Stone

....and these are only a few!
The Dems need to get off the pot now, dude!

Ours is called a "Revolution", but it's the only path to peace. Some say we're an "Insurrection", but we're the only way that millions of honest people won't be targeted and persecuted, jailed and fined.. for their lifestyle. Relight the torch of Liberty.. we tell.. and we're answered by ridicule, deception, and lies.
No one says we're wrong, but thus far too few want what's right. There is a little bit of shame.. indeed a little more than a little bit.. there is shame in what is done to Dr. Paul.. for caring about the people. Hit over and over by 'the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune' for saying the truth, for pointing out the corruption.
Ron Paul for President, the only one worth supporting... we lament in this era of diminished expectations... in this, our mournful age of tyranny.
No one but Paul 2012~
There just Has to be... an America.

Obama -- let's face it -- hasn't done all that much in his 4 years.
When Obama got into office, the country was on the brink of a Great Depression. So we are now solidly in a Great Recession, but trending lower... Maybe it's not Obama's fault, because of the Republican blockade in Congress... or not.
But the job of the President is to be... Presidential, and Lead the country. Obama has done an... ehn... job.
So how do we think Romney will do? Well, to be frank... he's clueless. He's like the evanescent cry of the whippoorwill -- changing and fading at every turn. Plus, Romney tells unemployed people that he understands what they are going through because, haha, he's unemployed also. Good thing he has his wife -- who never worked a day in her life outside of her home -- to turn to for advice about how the common person is hurting in today's Great Economic Recession
O! What do we do?
Where have you gone statesmen of old? The country turns its lonely eyes to you...

Let's ask one simple question around an inane horse race poll in 13 states? Do we vote state by state using electorlal votes or by combined popular vote?
Duh? If you look at state by state polls this makes no,sense.
Obama is comfortably ahead in NH,WI, PA, MI and NM.
Trying to make this into some sort of news is absurd.
Is the election going to be close? Of course it is for popular vote but EVs are all that matter and Romney has one narrow route to win, Obama many.

Ron Paul wins against the failed Obama administration.. hands down.
Barack Obama betrayed peace activists and he betrayed medical cannabis patients during his time in office... breaking the promises of his 2008 campaign. Adding five Trillion to the national debt in only 3 years is a tremendous restriction against future prosperity, no one thinks they will be richer in the future if they rack up ever more and faster debt. The economic policies of Barack Obama will impoverish the people after the 'free money' is spent [by the administration] and gone.
Peace activists and advocates for medical cannabis patients can see clearly that Mitt Romney would be just as bad or worse than Barack Obama.
Mitt Romney has better budget proposals than the incumbent, but not nearly as good as Dr. Ron Paul's budget proposals...which balance the current year budgets within three years. Ron Paul is ready to address the biting issues of monetary reform as well, but the others are not.
The course of history is wanting guidence from patriots just now, this peaceful revolution to restore American principles. The citizens of this good land shall set things right, as was before and as will be again. There Has to be an America.
Freedom and prosperity at home, goodwill toward mankind.
Ron Paul for President 2012~
