Iowa Newspaper Endorses Romney
The Desmoines Register, which hasn't endorsed a GOP candidate since 1972, has endorsed Romney! This could tip the balance in a battleground state.

Re: Iowa Newspaper Endorses Romney
doesnt matter.
No Ohio or Pennsylvania (which wont happen) = no presidency. Those 6 electoral votes in Iowa wont get the job done

You're wrong. Romney can lose both Ohio and Pennsylvania and still win if he wins Iowa, Colorado and Wisconsin along with Florida. Romney is ahead in Colorado, ahead in Florida, even in Wisconsin and very close in Iowa. If Obama loses Ohio he's pretty much a gonner. Not so with Romney. The key state this election could be Wisconsin.

Re: Iowa Newspaper Endorses Romney
Romney is unfortunately not ahead in Wisconsin the current, today, spread is Obama +2.3 and today's investor spread is 70-30 for Obama.
I note that Co, NH, Fl, Va appear to be in the Romney column and as stated earlier it is not enough. Even including Iowa where the spread, today, is also +2.3 percentage points (investor spread is 60-40, Obama).

Rasmussen's daily tracking poll has Wisconsin in a tie. This week's NBC/WSJ poll has Obama up by 6 points which is skewing the poll averages. If you take it out of the poll averages, Obama is leading by a razor thin margin of 1 point. I don't understand investor spread. Momentum seems to be in Romney's favor. Who really knows? The more Democratic leaning papers that endorse Romney, the more credibility that Romney gains with the undecideds.
Let's put it this way: It's anybody's ballgame! It's gonna be very close! I think Romney will win, but I could very well be wrong.

My gut feeling is that the election will once again come down to Florida or Ohio. Romney will get Iowa and Colorado and Obama will take Wisconsin.

Florida looks solid for Romney. Ohio is a must but stubbornly staying blue.

Well I just checked by my own admission, the only way Romney can win without Ohio is if he gets Virginia, Wisconsin, and Florida. If Obama gets Wisconsin and Ohio and Romney gets Nevada, Florida, and Virginia it's be tied at 269 each the way I broke up the states. This is all also assuming Romney get's Colorado and Obama get's New Hampshire. Ohio is BIG. But so is Nevada and Wisconsin.

Gap may be closing. A poll released today showed both R and O tied at 49% in Ohio.
I am hoping that in the states where Obama is a point or two ahead in polling he will lose that due to the "enthusiasm gap" in regards to actual turnout to vote. It could be wishful thinking but I can hope!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
