A mostly positive, but mixed, jobs report drops five days before Election Day

Making note of some of the predictions and such as we approach November 6th.

How Obama can have a 75 percent chance of winning an election despite being essentially tied in the polls:

Mitt Romney has ground to make up if he’s going to catch the President and there’s not much time left to do it.

A week out from the election, President Obama is a heavy favorite to win re-election. But the major press continues to pretend otherwise.

Under the right circumstances, it would be possible to postpone a Presidential election.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has been working tirelessly to ensure Barack Obama is a one-term president but has been effusive in praising Obama’s leadership during Hurricane Sandy.

I was struck by the degree to which WhiteHouse.gov looks like an Obama campaign site.

Naturally, most of us are asking: What does this mean for next Tuesday’s election.

Too many people ignore (and incorrectly define) the “independents” in a given sample.

Equating opposition to the President with racism is absurd.

There are several circumstances under which we may not know who won the 2012 election for some time after November 6th

Another mostly disappointing report on the state of the economy.

As in 2010, Scott Rasmussen’s polling in 2012 has shown a distinct bias in favor of Republicans.

One of the few areas of disagreement was how big our military should be.

Donald Trump has yet again duped the media into giving him attention by hyping a “bombshell” that turned out to be a nothing-burger.

First in a series of posts looking at the substance of the final presidential debate, ostensibly about foreign policy.

President Obama seems to have given away the store when it comes to the defense sequestration cuts.
