1. Good. Hopefully Brown can help pull Obama over the top in Ohio.

I'll take any help I can get.

2. If Browns up by 5, Obama's up by 3 or 4 at least. Ohio is in the bag.

3. 3-4 points with seven days to go...

...isn't quite in the bag. Many of these polls have Obama's lead within the margin of error. Remember, ANYTHING within the margin of error means they are TIED. We absolutely need to double-down on our get-out-the-vote efforts in Ohio. I honestly don't believe Obama will be able to reach 270 electoral votes without Ohio's 18 EV's.

Obama-Biden 2012!!

8. I agree, 4 or 5 pts is defendable, 10 points is comforatable but nothing is in the bag until Nov 6

4. Obama must be up by 5 in Ohio

How many voters would really crossover and vote Pres. Rmoney and then for Brown? - makes no sense - they are miles apart ideologically- Brown's number almost have to be the same as Obama's numbers.

5. Brown is considered a liberal Senator to the right-wing

So you do wonder why some voters would pick a left-leaning guy like Brown and then vote for someone much more right-wing like Romney.

Or perhaps there is a larger spread between Obama and Brown because Mandel is so unpopular many people can't bring themselves to vote for him?

9. Troy, REAGAN would be considered a "liberal" by today's right-wing

6. Mandel = Little shit. Go Brown! gObama!

7. That is very good news n/t
