Colin Powell's endorsement and the reaction

Published on 2012-10-26 10:38:00

Gen. Colin Powell's endorsement of President Barack Obama sparked a top surrogate of Republican nominee Mitt Romney. Former senator John Sununu claimed that Powell endorsed Obama simply the president if black. Powell endorsed Obama in the 2008 race and many analysts believe his support helped Obama then and will help him again in this election.

Come to Florida - OFA Florida

Published on 2012-10-25 21:39:00

While most attention right now is focused on Ohio, the state of Florida is still a very big prize up for grabs. In an earlier post, it was shown that Romney cannot win the electoral vote without winning Florida. That was true taking into consideration the battleground state map at the time. Now, most analysts have narrowed down the number of battleground states even further. For example, NBC places North Carolina in Romney's corner while Nevada is now an Obama state.

As an avid Obama observer from early 2007, I remember next to nothing from the 2008 primary and general election debates.

President Barack Obama raised more than Mitt Romney for the first time in three months by pulling in $114 million in August compared to $111 million for his opponent. What makes Obama's fundraising even more significant is that he raised 98 percent of his money from donors who gave $250 or less, while 31 percent of Romney donors fell into that category. That appears to indicate that the president has more supporters available for the ground campaign. Some of the energy of the Obama campaign wa [..]

The president and his team did not do bad itself raising more than $60 million, which was a big jump upward from April. Obama's average donation was much smaller than that of the Romney campaign and consequently the president actually had about 250,000 more donors in May.
