Io penso che vincerà Obama, non di molto ma quel gangster di romney non mi sembra avere lo spessore per vincere.
Ma difficilmente potrà portare altre riforme a termine se le elezioni successive per il congresso non daranno una forte maggioranza ai democratici.

President Obama Accepts the Democratic Nomination

President Obama's acceptance speech sounded more like a State of the Union address than the soaring rhetoric he used to rally the Democratic conventions in 2004 and 2008.

But it was exactly what polls suggest people wanted:
Specific plans and proposals for a second term.


Obama also made a persuasive case that things are better today than they were four years ago.
It's not an easy one to make but he was helped tremendously last night by Bill Clinton and tonight by Joe Biden.

The Obama campaign wanted this election to be a stark choice between two different governing philosophies and not a referendum on the president's tenure.

With this beautifully orchestrated convention -- and with poor strategic decisions and unforced errors by Mitt Romney and the Republicans -- they have succeeded.

Democrats decisively won the battle of the party conventions.

It wasn't even close really.
And they continue to hold the upper hand in this election.

I'm really looking forward to the debates.

"Se volete un Paese in cui ognuno è solo e il vincitore si prende tutto,
votate per Romney.
Se invece volete un Paese in cui la prosperità sia condivisa e ognuno sta insieme agli altri,
allora votate Obama."

Obama Widens Lead in Ohio

A new Public Policy Polling survey in Ohio finds President Obama leads Mitt Romney by five points, 50% to 45%.

Key finding:
"Romney actually leads 46% to 44% with independents but Obama has the overall advantage thanks to a more unified party base.
He leads 86% to 11% with Democrats, compared to Romney's 83% to 13% advantage with Republicans.
Obama's 75 point lead within his own party is up from 70 points a month ago, suggesting that his party has coalesced around him a little bit more in the wake of a successful convention."

Obama..........347

Romney.........191

A meno di clamorosi eventi Obama rivincerà le elezioni più per demerito degli avversari che per merito suo...
Speriamo che nel secondo e ultimo mandato sia meno ostaggio delle lobbies e possa fare qualcosina in più sul fronte del controllo dei movimenti finanziari e del disimpegno USA da alcuni teatri di guerra...

Ho notato un errore nella convention democratica.
Se (giustamente) si dice che si vuole il bene di tutti, perché invece di invitare a parlare leader sindacali o comunque lavoratori si invitano le star del cinema o delle serie tv?
Boh

perchè loro sono americani...
.
nel senso che se li vuoi capire devi cercare di vedere le cose col loro metro di giudizio:
.
a loro piace la spettacolarizzazione,il vincente,il divo,la persona di successo...
.
del resto,
anche alla festa del PD hanno invitato Benigni,
mica quello che fa piano bar a Voghera...

The Next Two Months

Marc Ambinder:
"The election in November may well turn on decisions made long ago.
After Labor Day, there is little campaigns can do to alter the fundamental physics of a race.
The best campaigns simply play defense well.
In a close race, whichever candidate is most adroit at handling the unexpected will probably find himself with an advantage."
