Mitt Romney’s choice of Paul Ryan as his nominee for vice president achieved something remarkable in the modern history of U.S. presidential elections. He made both sides ecstatic. But before liberals start cheering too hard, they might want to think this through. If the Romney-Ryan team wins, a future in which Paul Ryan eventually becomes president of the United States becomes more likely than not. That’s a future in which the New Deal is repealed.
Why has Mitt Romney chosen a running mate that is so far-right as Paul Ryan? Romney had 2 directions to reach for voters, one one hand he had the moderate middle – the republicans that don’t identify with tea party politics, and on the other hand, the extremely conservative right. Sure, the far right does not fully embrace the GOP nominee, but they will vote for him.
Has Romney eliminated his chances of clinching the moderate middle vote that was undecided by naming Paul Ryan?
After months of imposing himself on Mitt Romney’s campaign as a self-professed surrogate. Not only has he nabbed a role at the biggest GOP party of the year, his appearance is being billed as unforgettable.
The president would take 49 percent of the vote compared to Romney’s 40 percent in a head-to-head matchup if the election were held today, the poll found. Last month, Obama had a four percentage-point edge of 45 percent to 41 percent. This marks the second time this year the president has had a lead outside the poll’s margin of sampling error.
Now, in heavily Democratic cities like Cleveland, Columbus, Akron and Toledo, early voting hours will be limited to 8 am until 5 pm on weekdays beginning on October 1, with no voting at night or during the weekend, when it’s most convenient for working people to vote. Republican election commissioners have blocked Democratic efforts to expand early voting hours in these counties, where the board of elections are split equally between Democratic and Republican members. Ohio Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted has broken the tie by intervening on behalf of his fellow Republicans.
Press Secretary for Mitt Romney tells Fox News, if Joe Soptic had lived in Massachusetts, his wife would have been able to get health insurance under Gov. Romney’s health-care legislation.
