Romney made 15.3 mil from the auto bailout by investing in some auto firms while he was actively fighting against the bailout. Now people are filing an ethics complaint against him for not disclosing this information when he send in his financial disclosure. Anyways, most of the more reliable analysts are predicting an Obama victory. Individual polls are biased, but you can get a more accurate picture when you analyze data from all of them. http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012...s-obama-romney |

As for Bloomberg a bit of a surprise considering we have 5 days until the official election day. Edit: I like this reply by the Economist on the backlash over this endorsement - "We think not endorsing is a cop-out. It is our policy to endorse, even in cases where we don't much like any of the candidates (eg Kerry 2004, Sarkozy 2012). Sometimes voters have to make difficult choices, so we should do so too."

So does he have a chance at winning that district? I haven't been paying much attention to the House or Senate race as I think the status-quo stays the same. GOP may lose some seat in the House, but they should retain the majority status and same goes for Democrats in the Senate.

That makes sense. The increasing diversity in the country is triggering a lot of these phenomenon that haven't been seen before. It still makes me laugh at the notion that in the next two decades, white population will be the new minority. GOP will need a lot more Marco Rubios and Cains in the coming years if they want to compete with the Democrats.

With 4 days until the election, the final job report came out and the final verdict was 7.9. In other words between 4 years ago and now, it has been serious change between 10.8 unemployment to 7.9.

http://portalseven.com/employment/un...08&toYear=2012 So as those on unemployment ended their benefits the U-3 number dropped, and the number who are now underemployed (U-6 number) has risen. That's serious change alright...for the worse.

Sure if you want to use the calculation method used by the US government at the time of the Great Depression.

And that's not counting those that have given up looking for a job!
And they said something about some companies hiring, well yeah, Christmas is coming, there hiring seasonal help which is part time at best, then in January they get laid off and the news will report a spike in unemployment. Same old story! |

GundamFan0083, you need to understand that when Obama took over this country, we was going through dropping Dow Jones (8659.59 as on Novermber 6 2008), losing over 800k jobs, Unemployment was at all time highs while fighting two wars losing countless of my friends and people that I knew lives in those battles. Auto companies was beyond saving, Bank Bailout was kicking our butts and many other stuff. But after four years, Auto companies is back up and running, Unemployment is dropping, consumer is up, there is growth right now, Dow Jones is back up to 13000. Most of the friends is back on US soils. I know that Obama isnt perfect but you know what. I trust him over Ronmey who cant even stay on his own course and flip-flopping around trying to suck up to all the voters (that little crap he did for that Hurricane victims was the straw that broke the camel's back). Even know that the end of the tunnel is almost there, there is still little bit of darkness ahead.

Romney: Elect Me Or House GOP Will Wreck The Economy
http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/20...on-warning.php This could be the strongest, if not the only one, argument in favor of Romney but, it might not be such good idea to use it.

Except if GM and Chrysler went down they would have taken Ford with them. There was a reason why Ford was at the congressional hearing with GM and Chrysler even through it didn't need a bailout, at least a direct one.
