I thought Gingrich would be the next one to drop out, to be honest. Very sad if it is due to family health issues.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/pol ... 4S8uO3HE20 Santorum was going to lose Pennsylvania again and that was the key reason. He is using his child's illness as the main reason but that is NOT why he quit. He should keep his mouth shut and disappear now. Speaking of hypocrisy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqMbD6MN ... re=related Oh-bama added $5 trillion in 3 years.

The line about Obama swooning over his own historical greatness is predicated on what may be the most tin-eared presidential remark in memory. In an outtake from his interview last December with "60 Minutes," Obama said, "I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president—with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR and Lincoln." Ignore, for the moment, that the Obama claim neglects Woodrow Wilson (passage of a federal income tax and the creation of the Federal Reserve during his first year in office) and blithely assumes that his health care law will pass constitutional muster with the Supreme Court. What remains stunning is that Obama actually sees himself in these Mount Rushmore terms—and was willing to say it with the TV cameras rolling.

Was this a real poll or an online poll?

On line.

[Kristatos]

On line.

Those polls are meaningless, since the voters are self-selecting and they usually allow multiple votes. I sometimes see calls in online forums to "stuff this poll" and I think "why bother?"

[Dr. No]

I feel bad for Santorums family I feel like his little girl is probably going to die soon.

http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/usa ... e/54235706 This loser has been to the White House 35 times to see Oh-bama and General David Petraeus only 9 times and now Oh-bama is distancing himself from her like the spineless jellyfish he is. By the way, he has people scouring the internet trying to track down his detractors and that is not legal.

Rassmussen poll:In a hypothetical Election 2012 matchup, President Obama and Mitt Romney are tied at 45%. Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern. Texas Congressman Ron Paul holds a one-point edge over the president, 44% to 43%.

The last Rasmussen poll I saw had Romney leading Obama 48-44. He seems to have received a boost from becoming the de facto nominee. The most recent two polls on RCP as I write this put him ahead of Obama (by 4 and 2 percentage points respectively), after months of being behind. I guess Republican voters who supported other candidates in the primary are now rallying behind the presumptive nominee.

Fox news poll has Romney leading too in Independent voters, which is really important. Kris, USA politics intrigues you. Do you want the Oh-bama re-elected or ousted? How do you rate the UK leaders?

I think the October polls will be more telling but do I think Romney got a bump from going to possible to the Repub nominee baring any unforeseen accident. Obama had a few this week with him ahead, and some repubs were talk like Romney the "horrible person and none conservative" (so sorry guys Santorum got out. ) he is was not a leading in the head to head polls, I seem to remember any of the Republicans frontrunners leading those polls since January. off an on. I don't think the polls (about the primaries) were real accurate during the primary the pundits were all like it was hyper accurate I thought it was actually pretty poor.

Unless the poll are done under stringent conditions likely voters I don't bother with them. A few things this summer will shape up how the race will go , gas rpices, Iran Nuke or Israeli attack, supreme court obama care decision.

The supreme courts favorability went up when it looked like they were going to strike down Obamacare, I think for the general election there my be some underlying anti obama sentiment that will not be pick up on in polling just because while its in the back of people minds will not be something they mention if asked by a pollster.

This seems like a rather strained attempt to manufacture equivalence with the Republican's history with dodgy voting machines. On the one hand, we had a situation in 2004 where the head of Ohio's Republican party, who had promised to "deliver Ohio to the Republicans" also owned the company that made the voting machines. On the other...umm, one of the directors of this new company once lived in Chicago. Not quite the same!

Though I do agree that the contract should have gone to an American company - or better still, that electronic voting machines be scrapped altogether. Good old-fashioned pencil-and-paper ballots still remain the gold standard for free and fair elections, though they take too long for our media-driven age, where people want instant results.

Agree. We used old metal lever machines in NYC until 2 years ago. No way to monkey around with them. Only a matter of time until election machines get hacked into and chaos will ensue. It's not a question of if, but when. Simplicity.....read Marcus Auerilius, ala Dr. Lecter.

I hope the penguin is OK.
