DemocracyNow.org - With the Democratic National Convention taking place in North Carolina -- and last week's Republican National Convention in Florida -- we look at the political landscape of the South. The region is home to half of the country's African-American population, and Latino voter registration has doubled since 2008. Analysts say nearly one-third of the total Electoral College votes needed to be elected president come from southern states -- and that share will likely grow in the future. We're joined by two guests: Chris Kromm, executive director of the Institute for Southern Studies; and Kevin Alexander Gray, a civil rights activist and community organizer in Columbia, South Carolina.


Black and Latino Southern Voters May Hold Key to 2012 Election As Region Hosts Conventions

POLITICO.COM : "President Barack Obama heads out of the national political conventions with a much clearer path to winning, top advisers to Mitt Romney privately concede." - Comment : I follow bets, polls and Mathematical Theories that strongly point to Reelection

.
Something may happen, particularly in the economic front, to give a victory to Romney, but today Obama seems a very clear winner of the Presidential Election. Nate Silver of the New York Times, the most prestigious analyst that relies on Mathematical and Computer Models, considers a probability of almost 4 to 1 for Obama over Romney.

In Betting Businesses and Gambling things are very bright for Obama, with the only notable exception of Florida, because bettors have betted heavily for Romney in that state. But many analysts do not discard Florida for Obama.

North Carolina is for Romney, but that is a consolation prize for the multi millionaire that runs on his Business Career, providing only very scarce information about his "Wheelings and Dealings" that are very suspect, and that could turn out to be "non-sanctum" when more information is revealed.

And the Wall Street Market Indexes are very bright for Obama. With Dow Jones Industrial Average at 13,306, Nasdaq at 3,136, and  S&P 500 at 1437.92 wee see beautiful numbers for Obama.

Historically the President is reelected if these numbers are high and have been increasing in the last few months or years.

Of course, a grave economic catastrophe can sink the beautiful prospect of reelection for President Obama. But I do not see it very probable, and I think that there will be a Big Bull Market after the reelection in November, that market will last several years and push the Dow Jones to 20,000 and higher.

These grave Recessions are not easily repaired, but the American Economy always reacts with vigor after the sickness is cured. Beware of grave structural economic problems that are not solved overnight and that is why people have to be patient to see low unemployment, high economic growth, and big profits for investors.

And big percentages of economic growth will take care of the National Debt.

State of the race: Advantage, Obama

State of the race: Advantage, Obama


Some excerpts :

The Romney campaign, while pleasantly surprised by Obama’s lackluster prime-time performance, said the post-convention bounce they hoped for fell well short of expectations and privately lament that state-by-state polling numbers — most glaringly in Ohio — are working in the president’s favor.

*****************

“Their map has many more routes to victory,” said a top Republican official. Two officials intimately involved in the GOP campaign said Ohio leans clearly in Obama’s favor now, with a high single-digit edge, based on their internal tracking numbers of conservative groups. Romney can still win the presidency if Obama loses Ohio, but it’s extremely difficult.

********************

The Republican plan rests heavily on Romney’s capacity to bury Obama with negative ads — and reap the benefits of his billionaire backers hitting the president even harder, and more relentlessly. This, more than anything else, alarms the high command in Chicago.

***************

"If you are losing in Ohio by four or five points and trailing in Colorado by two points, if you are trailing in Nevada by two or three points, you are not going to win in those states."

"There is a small number of undecided voters, so you are not going to see tremendous movement out of these conventions, even out of the debates. We have a small but important lead in battleground states that is a huge problem for the Romney camp. Ohio needs to be tied, Florida needs to be tied at least."

******************

“Our problems are Virginia, Ohio, Nevada, New Hampshire,” a top official of the Romney Campaign said. “Our opportunities are Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado. We can’t trade our problems for our opportunities and win the presidency. If we trade our problems for our opportunities, we lose.”

New York Mag : Romney is targeting eight states: Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and New Hampshire. Obama could win the reelection with Florida alone or Ohio plus a small state or Virginia plus a couple small states

.
Mitt Romney is in a tight position to win the Presidency, there are not many routes for him to the White House :.

The Romney campaign has abandoned Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.as viable alternatives to his "coronation" in the "White House".

Excerpt :

The states where Romney is not competing (and which aren’t obviously Republican, either) add up to 247 electoral votes. The eight states where Romney is competing add up to a neat 100 electoral votes, of which Romney needs 79 and Obama just 23. If you play with the electoral possibilities, you can see that this would mean Obama could win with Florida alone or Ohio plus a small state or Virginia plus a couple small states, and so on.

Romney’s Playing Field Narrows

Romney’s Playing Field Narrows

*********************

Friday, September 7, 2012

People in the Democratic Convention were happy, with weird hats and flamboyant attire, they were very friendly, they wept a lot, and were tender and caring. Even if weeping and shedding tears they were elated and in joy and bliss

.
In the Republican Convention some people were throwing food with racial slurs and being aggressive with chants, shouting and clenched fists in the air. They were in aggression mood.

I do not care if they were protesting for or against Ron Paul or if they were deriding and humiliating a Lady of Puerto Rico because of some accent.

I do not like people in such aggressive scenes. !

Hackers Greatest Feat if this is True : Mitt Romney's stolen tax returns. Documents delivered on encrypted thumb drives, and more copies would be sent to "all major news media outlets." - The password to unlock the tax returns will be revealed on Sept. 28 if payment is not made. A $1 million payment in "Bitcoin" Internet currency.



MittGate is similiar to WaterGate.

Mitt's accounting firm "Price Waterhouse Coopers" has said there was no evidence that anything was stolen.

He rightly feared the thumb drive might be infected with a computer virus.

"I had reached the point of seriously considering putting it in an old computer we have here in the office where we weren't worried if the hard drive got trashed or not," Burr said. "But by then we had received recommendations from our attorneys and word from the Secret Service. So we didn't look at it."

It was unclear even among experts whether the purported theft might be a hoax. The alleged culprit so far has provided no evidence that Romney's tax returns actually were stolen, such as a scan of a partial page from one of the documents. But for seasoned and committed hackers such a theft was described as entirely plausible, especially for someone who could gain physical access to a company's keyboards.

"Bill Clinton devoted a chunk of his nominating speech Wednesday night making the case for the law. Michelle Obama mentioned it Tuesday to paint her husband as a man of resolve. Rising star Julian Castro said Obama pulled off what seven of his predecessors could not in getting the law enacted."

Democrats’ risky play: Own ‘Obamacare’


Some excerpts :

The unexpected convention theme is no accident. The same law that rallied the tea party in 2010 and sent Democrats running for cover, has become a better issue for them, top Democrats told POLITICO this week. The campaign believes there’s been a shift in momentum since the Supreme Court upheld the law in June, Obama campaign officials said. They also think it makes for an appealing contrast to Paul Ryan’s plan to overhaul Medicare and Medicaid.

The campaign is so confident in the new tack on the Affordable Care Act that Thursday night Obama himself is expected to fold it into his prime-time speech, saying it benefits the middle class, the elderly and women — key voting blocs for the president.
