A Little Bounce In His Step!

The bounce is here. An owner of a Flordia pizzeria gives President Barack Obama a lift!

President Barack Obama got a good bump in the Gallup Poll.

As predicted the president managed to get above the watermark of 50% in his job approval. The conservatives are trying to rehash the Ronald Reagan legacy yet again to undermine the president's rise in the polls. The Drudge Report and The Gateway Pundit, are bitter about Mitt Romney not getting the bounce after his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

This race is a toss up and leans likely for President Obama. The pollsters are conceding that Mitt Romney's speech in which he forgotten to mention the ongoing war in Afghanistan and his inability to lay out a proper economic plan didn't do him any good. The Republican nominee's running mate Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) hasn't done any better. He works his self into a pretzel over his failed legislation and his role in defense cuts that he's denying he's voted for.

Mitt Romney goes on Meet The Press and practically put his big foot in his mouth once again when the host David Gregory asked him about his policies.

This post convention bump will fall back soon. The high gasoline prices, the unemployment numbers and of course the return of the U.S. Congress will hit the president where it hurts! The voters matter!

The debates will begin in October.

As of today by electoral college standings, President Barack Obama 247 and Mitt Romney 191.

If President Barack Obama wins Ohio or Florida, it's over! The president laid out groundwork for an election victory in which he can lose Ohio and Florida and yet still win.

The state I reside in is Ohio. The state is a most important of all elections. This state can make or break a candidate. The incumbents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush both lost the state of Ohio.

They were elected to be the president when they carried Ohio, but went on to lost the state in their reelection  bid. Therefore they've lost the election.

The most present day presidents.

Jimmy Carter beats incumbent Gerald Ford in 1976 with 297 over 240 (Carter carried Florida and Ohio).

Ronald Reagan beats incumbent Jimmy Carter in 1980 with 489 over 49 (Reagan carried Florida and Ohio).

Ronald Reagan won reelection against Walter Mondale in 1984 with 525 over 13 (Reagan carried Florida and Ohio).

George H.W. Bush beats Michael Dukakis in 1988 with 426 over 111 (Bush carried Florida and Ohio).

Bill Clinton beats George H.W. Bush in 1992 with 370 over 168 (Clinton lost Florida but carried Ohio).

Bill Clinton won reelection against Bob Dole in 1996 with 379 over 159 (Clinton carried Florida and Ohio).

George W. Bush beats Al Gore in 2000 with 271 over 266 (Bush carried Florida and Ohio)*.

George W. Bush won reelection over John Kerry in 2004 with 286 over 251 (Bush carried Florida and Ohio).

Barack Obama beats John McCain in 2008 with 365 over 173 (Obama carried Florida and Ohio).

Before I go, I want to share an opportunity to explain why Mitt Romney can't win. For starters, this guy can't deliver a message that reasons with the American people. David Gregory gave Mitt Romney the softball interview on Meet The Press and yet this guy couldn't even answer a simple question without throwing a word salad together with a side of Obama name drops.
