Obama vs. Romney

[tmthforu94]

Strong numbers for Santorum.

[Keystone Phil]

BUT HE LOST BY 18 POINTS IN 2006!!!!!!!

[Tender Branson]

Please guys, wake me up when he actually starts leading the primary in his home state ...

[You kip if you want to...]

BUT HE LOST BY 18 POINTS IN 2006!!!!!!!

And this poll shows him losing again. As a presidential candidate. In his home state.

But he was hated here, right? Only losing by three isn't bad especially when the other, "stronger" candidates trail by about the same or more.

Whine, whine, whine...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I'd actually argue Santorum would be a stronger general election candidate than Perry. Maybe it's just me though.

How am I whining? This is good news for my candidate. His haters are on a jihad against him, Iosif. You surely know what that means.

[The_Texas_Libertarian]

Finally some good news for the GOP on polling.  Being this close is obviously not good for the Democrats, I also can't recall another poll from PA with results this close so more will have to confirm the finding. 

[DrScholl]

I believe that Pennsylvania always appears close early on in polling, which is why it's always a target state.

Cute. Real cute.

I can see now why you and Dim Rick are such good bum pals.

It's just you.

entirely possible.

Indeed. It was trending Gore but everyone thought it would be closer. McCain did better in Western PA and still massively lost it. If PA was gonna flip at all in the last few elections, John Kerry would have lost it.

No, of course the person that won two statewide elections in a swing state (and two Congressional elections in the Democratic district) isn't a stronger candidate.

What was the margin of victory for Rick's last statewide election?

[Keystone Phil]

Oh, no! He lost! He lost big. Naturally, he is so hated that President Obama is blowing him out of the water here, right?

That didn't answer my question.  I can't recall the margin from 2006 and after driving ten hours in the past 36 I don't care to look it up at the moment

Also Santorums antihomosexual crusade is not going help him when he doesn't get the nomination for two reasons

1.  No nomination no problem
2.  This isn't 2004, the "holier than thou" conservative talking point has been smacked around in such an efficient manner if any GOP candidate tries that they will lose

[big bad fab]

How the rightist base is so stupid ?
They hate Obama ?

Well, now, they have a real chance to beat him:
Romney is on par or ahead in Virginia and Florida, is competitive in PA, OH and even Michigan, should be strong in NH and -why not?- in Nevada.

They should vote utile, as we say in French.

If the leftist base in France is able to understand that Hollande is their best opportunity to beat Sarkozy, the GOP base should be able to understand that Miit should prevail in the primaries
