Wednesday Morning Political Headlines: President Obama wins Re-election

November 7, 2012 Uncategorized No comments

It’s the morning after and everyone is exhausted.

President Barack Obama won re-election last night over former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. The President won almost all of the swing states to capture 270 and Romney conceded around 1230am.

President Obama faces an immediate challenge in Washington in the form of the fiscal cliff or sequestration. These were the severe cuts put in place by the budget super committee last year. Bi-partisan to resolve that problem is a must.

48 hrs. Can you dig it?

Friday Morning Political Headlines: Final Job Numbers before Tuesday

November 2, 2012 Uncategorized No comments

TGIF and to my colleagues working on campaigns, that doesn’t apply to you.

With only a couple of day remaining we’ve got the final job numbers before the election. Unemployment went up a tick to 7.9%. Not the 8% that might have pushed some to change their minds at the last minute. All in all, it’s in afterthought in a whirlwind of rhetoric that just about everyone is tired of.

We also had first lady Michelle Obama in Daytona Beach yesterday. Paul Ryan is expected in Panama City on Saturday night, which might be the last we see of VIPs from both campaigns.

Those stories lead your Friday morning political headlines. See you tomorrow.

All Presidential politics are currently on hold while the Northeast deals with the massive “Superstorm” Hurricane Sandy.

Both President Barack Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney, cancelled appearances yesterday out of respect for those in the region that are expected to be with out power for extended periods of time and will return to homes that have suffered severe flood damage.

They will both resume campaigning tomorrow. Both Vice President Joe Biden and First Lady Michelle Obama will attend multiple events here in Florida and the Romney/Ryan ticket will be expected later in the week.

Good Morning!

It’s going to be a beautiful Sunday and we’re now in the single digits leading up to election day.

Today, we’ve got Mitt Romney’s visit to Kissimmee. The former Massachusetts Governor was on the stump here in the I4 corridor where he’s opened up a small lead according to some polls.

Local TV brings us a review on the amendments that voters will have to make a call on at the polls. We’ve got a link to a great discussion on that.

Finally, I’ll be doing my analysis on the last Presidential debate, the latest on the Florida Senate Race, and new poll numbers on Political Connections.
