The GOP primary season’s real winner
Steve Kornacki, Salon:
In an interview with Matt Lauer that aired before the Super Bowl, Barack Obama argued that I deserve a second term. And if the election were held right now, hed probably get one.
A new ABC News/Washington Post poll that shows the president opening a 6-point lead over Mitt Romney (and moving over the magic 50 percent mark) among registered voters has been generating plenty of attention today. It confirms the degree to which Obamas reelection prospects have improved recently. Just a month ago, the same poll gave Romney a 2-point edge (48 to 46 percent), and not since last July had Obama run ahead of Romney among registered voters. This is also the first time either man has cleared the 50 percent mark in the ABC/WaPo poll. Among all adults, Obama notches a 50 percent job approval rating his highest mark since last March.

(2,431 posts)1. Watch The Birdie...
GOP objective is to take the Senate and keep the House. If they do, we will get to watch our tax money fund 4 years of impeachment hearings.

straight democratic tickets then WE democrats can keep The Senate and take back The House
And considering there are even some Republicans that are planning to vote for President Obama,
I can NOT see 2012 being a very good year at all for GOPers.

(3,913 posts)3. It says "registered voters"
and not "likely voters". A shit-ton of Rs are going to stay home in November, because the four left in the clown car are each hated by many, manyRs. If we can energize our side, that six-point lead will become a hell of a lot bigger.

will account for at least 3% of the popular vote nationwide.

(276 posts)5. The choice will be $52,000 per hour candidate or raise taxes on the super rich candidate
That will be the choice for the independents to make. Who really has your interests at heart?
Eliminate child labor laws GOP
Raise taxes on the poor GOP
Eliminate EPA, can't wait for rivers to catch fire pre EPA
Let them die GOP health care plan
The choice will be very distinct.
