President Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney in Colorado, Iowa and Wisconsin, reaching the key 50 percent support threshold in all three battlegrounds, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls of these states.
In both Colorado and Wisconsin, Obama is ahead by 5 points among likely voters (including those learning toward a candidate), 50 percent to 45 percent.
And in Iowa, the president’s edge over Romney is 8 points, 50 percent to 42 percent.
Looks like all that phone-banking, voter-persuasion and voter-registration in Colorado is paying off... (Of course, the fact that Money-Boo-Boo is showing himself to be a complete moron is not hurting....)
Tommy Thompson explains his rapid fall in the polls in part on having to run with Mitt Romney at the top of the ticket.
“The presidential thing is bound to have an impact on every election,” Thompson told Madison television station WKOW on Wednesday. “You know, whether you’re a Democrat or Republican. If you’re a standard-bearer for the presidency is not doing well, it’s going to reflect on the down ballot.”

Just think of how many more lives Obama can save if he gets unemployment up to 16%.

Mitt has finally started apologizing for the 47% comment which he should have said was just pandering along time ago. Maybe next time the Republican brain trust needs to pick somebody that they can control better and have a better response team like Karl Rove instead of free agents like Michelle Bachman and Mitt.

Yeah, I'm impressed....
Hopefully the voters will get rid of the GOP obstructionists who keep blocking very good jobs bills proposed by the President because they are more loyal to their party rather than the American people.

Peggy Noonan, Reagan advisor and WSJ columnist lets it fly:
The Romney campaign has to get turned around. This week I called it incompetent, but only because I was being polite. I really meant "rolling calamity."
A lot of people weighed in, in I suppose expected ways: "Glad you said this," "Mad you said this." But, some surprises. No one that I know of defended the campaign or argued "you're missing some of its quiet excellence." Instead there was broad agreement with the gist of the critique—from some in the midlevel of the campaign itself, from outside backers and from various party activists and officials. There was a perhaps pessimistic assumption that no one in Boston would be open to advice. A veteran of a previous Romney campaign who supports the governor and admires him—"This is a good man"—said the candidate's problem isn't overconfidence, it's a tin ear. That's hard to change, the veteran said, because tin-earness keeps you from detecting and remedying tin-earness.
There were wistful notes from the Republicans who'd helped run previous campaigns, most of whom could be characterized as serious, moderate conservatives, all of whom want to see Mr. Romney win because they believe, honestly, that the president has harmed the country financially and in terms of its position in the world. They're certain it will only get worse in the next four years, but they're in despair at the Romney campaign
