*President Barack Obama holds an edge over Mitt Romney in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania, a new Quinnipiac University/New York Times/CBS News poll out Wednesday shows.
When likely voters in the three battleground states were asked whom they would vote for if the election were held today, here’s the way it broke down:
- Florida: Obama, 51 percent; Romney, 45 percent.
- Ohio: Obama, 50 percent; Romney 44 percent
- Pennsylvania: Obama, 53 percent; Romney 42 percent
No one has won the White House since 1960 without winning at least two of the states. Obama won all three in 2008.
Support for Obama’s proposal to increase taxes on households making more than $250,000 per year is 58 to 37 percent in Florida, 60 to 37 percent in Ohio and 62 to 34 percent in Pennsylvania, the survey finds.

Can’t wait until November! POTUS just beating them down and they can’t figure out how. 4 more years coming!
It won’t really matter folks. The Republicans are going to steal the election just like they did in 2000 and 2004. Obama only won the last time because he had enough support to overcome all their schemes. He won’t have that level of support this time around and the Republicans have even more scams running this time. Remember that there is no longer any voter registration drives from ACORN, thanks to the Democrats allowing the Republicans to use a doctored tape to take away ACORN’s funding. Remember that voter ID is also now in full effect. And don’t forget that we still have the electronics voting machines.
No one has won the White House since 1960 without winning at least two of the states. Obama won all three in 2008.
And the Dems would win in 2000 and 2004 if the Republicans didn’t steal the votes in Florida and Ohio respectively. Each time they used a different combination of tactics, just as they will in 2012.
In Florida, though Jeb Bush knocked thousands of African Americans off the rolls, a statewide recount could have given the Dems the victory. That’s why they had to bring in their crooks from the Supreme Court to seal the deal.
On December 4, 2000, in time to change the outcome of the Electoral College vote, Greg Palast published an article in Salon.com, made into a BBC television documentary shortly thereafter, that laid out solid evidence of massive electoral fraud in Florida, perpetrated against the majority-Democratic-voting African American community by Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush. Without this fraud, Gore would have easily carried the state.
Even more glaring, a consortium of news organizations found and reported on the front page of The New York Times (and other papers) on 12 September 2001, that in Florida “…a statewide recount — could have produced enough votes to tilt the election in [Gore's] way, no matter what standard was chosen to judge voter intent.” (The Times apparently chose to bury this fact – that Gore actually won the 2000 election – in the 15th paragraph and behind a misleading headline because the nation had been attacked on 9/11 the day before.
We all know about the man in the middle setup in Ohio where Karl Rove It guru, Mike Connell, set up a system in which election returns from the website of the Secretary of State, Ken Blackwell, were shunted in real-time to a computer in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The data was then directed back to the Secretary of State’s website after the votes were switched.
Sorry folks. Even at 51% to 45%, Obama won’t have enough votes to overcome the myriad of schemes the Republicans have in place for stealing the 2012 election.
All plausible scenarios, but we will see. Obama takes it again for 2012!
