Economic discontent and substantial dissatisfaction with Barack Obama's performance in office are keeping Mitt Romney competitive in the presidential race - but not by enough of a margin to overcome Obama's stronger personal profile. The result: A dead heat in voter preferences at the midsummer stage, with the prospect of an epic battle ahead.
Of course with BO's new tax cut strategy of Emoticonroving the right is for the rich, it could change.BO - keep the Bush tax cuts for everyone except the rich.GOP - The rich need them also.Will be interesting to see how this plays out in an election year. 4951

Than we see things like this story;The elderly and other vulnerable homeowners are losing their homes because they owe as little as a few hundred dollars in back taxes, according to a report from a consumer group.Outdated state laws allow big banks and other investors to reap windfall profits by buying the houses for a pittance and reselling them, the National Consumer Law Center said in a report being released Tuesday.So lets give them a tax break..... makes one think 4951

And this is new nowEmoticonresident Obama is threatening to veto any legislation that extends all the tax cuts set to expire at the end of the year, as he presses Congress to extend those cuts only for families whose yearly income is less than $250,000 -- and raises taxes on everyone earning more. The veto threat sets the early tone for what is expected to be a contentious battle between Democrats and Republicans through the rest of the year as they seek to avoid the so-called "taxmageddon" -- the sudden increase in taxes on all Americans that will occur if Congress doesn't vote to extend some or all of the Bush-era tax rates. 4951

It's only $250K earners. Not exactly hardship but I fail to see the point. It won't change anything. The problem is job creation. Neither candidate has a logical solution. When a car starts rolling backwards down a hill it gets harder and harder to stop....   4951

As a self employed contracted service making under 250,000 but hired by folks within the taxation you see the point rather quickly. 4951

On a personal level I see your point, it will indeed hurt you. On a national level, it won't serve any purpose other than muster up votes. That's all he's doing.      4951

The problem is he sees it as individuals and not a basic economic engine.  I'm just a part in the engine but take away the gas and the engine cant run. 4951

I raise an eyebrow when he only wants to push the tax cuts for one year. It screams that he will let them expire after that one year. Meh... Maybe I am just looking into it too much. 4951

I wish Romney would grow a spine and start going on the attack.  He has no charisma and he's going to lose the independent vote.  A dead heat right now in a recession-stage economy?  This says more about Romney underachieving than any real contest.He may be a McCain lite, which spells doom; but in all seriousness, McCain came out and strongly endorsed him first, which told me he was NOT the right conservative candidate.  Still, we're stuck with him, so at least let's try to put more lipstick on this oinker. 4951

What gets me is, when people start paying more in taxes, what do you think they will do? They will raise the cost of goods and services to compensate for the lost revenue.
 
Unbelieveable. Obama is a total jackass. Unfortunately, it looks like it will be 4 more years with this term being his chance to really screw us. 4951

Sadly, I would agree unless Romney pulls off a miracle, but the GOP deserves as much blame as any other entity.  They had four !#%@ years to prepare for the take-back and the candidacy list was a major let down.  The few fresh faces we had, like Cain, were instantly assassinated by the Fox News establishment; you sort of knew Romney was going to get the nod, even though he was the most liberal of them all.  I pushed for Cain and to some degree Santorum and then Gingrich; said all along that Romney was the worst possible choice because he's Mormon, which scares some Christian voters; he's a moderate, which pisses off the Tea Party base; and he is responsible for implementing mandatory health care insurance.  Still, I have tons of money to donate and there's nobody else. 4951

@kpdad:
 
So i've seen that Romney plans to repeal Obamacare his first day in office if he is elected. But is he going to have a similar plan like the one he had for the state of Massachusetts?
 
The one thing about Romney is, he doesnt appear to have a plan. And if he does have one, he is awfully secretive about it. It's easy to get up there and win a popularity contest with the other bozo's the republicans lined up for us, I would just like to hear more about what his plans are rather then hearing him talk about how bad Obama sucks. We already know that 4951
