Romney Makes Closing Arguments to Wisconsin Voters

The Republican presidential nominee told a full house at Wisconsin State Fair Park that he is the candidate that will bring "real change" to America.

 

Just four days ahead of Election Day, Mitt Romney came to southeastern Wisconsin and delivered a fiery speech to a fired-up crowd at Wisconsin State Fair Park.

Those who made it inside the Wisconsin Products Pavilion — thousands were turned away with the crowd at capacity — saw Romney deliver what was said to be his "closing argument" in his quest to defeat Barack Obama. He alternated between criticizing the president and pushing his own accomplishments and vision.

"Accomplishing real change is not something I've just talked about," Romney said, noting his time in the business world, his work leading the Salt Lake City Olympics and his tenure as governor of Massachusetts. "It's something I've done."

Romney stood above a banner proclaiming "Real Change on Day One," and he stayed on that theme throughout the morning. He talked often about his first actions upon taking office, from executive orders examining regulations to changing key components of Obama's energy policies.

He positioned himself as better for businesses, while blasting Obama for what he said was lack of cooperation with Republicans and blaming others for the country's problems.

The event came at a time when polls show Obama with a slight lead in Wisconsin, and the state is seen as hugely important to both campaigns. That's evident in the candidates' schedules, with both campaigns descending on the state in the final days.

"We ask you to stay up all the way to the finish line," Romney said, "because we're going to win on Tuesday night."

Patch's media partners at Fox 6 reported an estimated crowd of 7,000, with a few thousand more turned away.

69-year-old Connie Merkel of Oshkosh said she loved Romney's message of taking responsibility and not blaming other people for the country's problems.

"For the first time in my life, with Scott Walker and these two running for president and vice president, I am actually proud to vote for them," she said. "I'm not voting for the lesser of two evils. I'm voting for them because I'm proud to vote for them as people."

Retired Packers quarterback Bart Starr, who led the team to victories in the first two Super Bowls, endorsed Romney in a surprise appearance Friday. Starr held up a copy of a Vince Lombardi book on leadership, saying the Republican nominee embodies the characteristics the coach describes.

Gov. Scott Walker, who introduced Romney, got a loud rendition of "Happy Birthday," on the occasion of his 45th birthday. The best birthday gift he could get, he told the crowd, is to use the remaining days getting out the vote for Romney.

John Lambert, vice chairman of the UW-Madison College Republicans traveled to West Allis to see Romney. As a senior in college who will soon be looking for work, he sees first-hand the economic challenges the country faces, he said.

Romney succeeded in Massachusetts, where he was faced with a Democratic majority in the Legislature, and can do it again as president, he said.

"We can't afford four more years," Lambert said.

Mary and Tony Kriss have missed out on all of the swing-state excitement living in Illinois, so they made the Friday morning trek to the State Fairgrounds to see their candidate.

"I shook his hand actually, and that is like the thrill of the day. Thrill of the week," Mary Kriss said. "We're huge supporters and (today) was an opportunity, especially coming from Illinois because he's not campaigning out there, so it's a great opportunity to see him."

About an hour after the event, former Democratic U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold held a press conference to bash Romney's "sketchy deal" and speak about some of Obama's accomplishments in the past four years. 

Feingold said Romney would not work across the party aisle as he would like the public to believe.

"In these closing days he reinvented himself again," Feingold said. "When running in the Republican primary he called himself something I have never heard, a 'severe conservative.' Now he's changing his tune and reinvented himself as a moderate."

Grand day for America:

Another good Obama polling day http://bit.ly/RB5IBH

So for the first time in forever, not a single national tracking poll has Mitt Romney in the lead. With Gallup out of commission until a final Monday poll, Rasmussen was the big outlier showing a 5-6-point Romney advantage. Today, they began "Operation Get Back In Line With Reality So We Can Pretend To Be Accurate" and had the top of the ticket tied.

The states are looking even better. In Colorado, PPP gives President Barack Obama a 50-46 lead, stable since they last polled there a week ago. A Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll of the state has it tied 46-46, after having Romney up a point the last two days.

Et tu, Gravis? In Iowa, GOP pollster and Rasmussen-wannabe Gravis Marketing now shows Obama leading 49-45, coming in the heels of yesterday's NBC/Marist poll showing Obama up 50-44. In Florida, a Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll shows Obama up 48-46 after having it tied 47-47 two days ago.

From New Hampshire we get a New England College poll showing Obama up 50-44, while the conservative outfit We Ask America has Obama leading 52-45 in Wisconsin...

84 percent of likely voters who supported Obama in 2008 support him this year, while 13 percent say they are switching to Romney and 3 percent are backing others or haven’t made up their mind yet.

52.9% X 84% = 44.4%

The Kenyan got roughly 69 million votes in 2008. 13% of 69 million is about 9 million. Add that to McCain’s 59 million last time, and take it away from the Kenyan’s totals, and Gov. Romney wins 68 million to 60 million votes.

Even if some amount of McCain voters go for the Kenyan this time - say 5%, that still makes it 65 million to 63 million.

That takes nothing into account for increased GOP base support and decreased enthusiasm from Dem voters.

http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/11/02/14875519-blackout-imposed-as-george-w-bush-speaks-at-cayman-islands-investment-conference

And not getting any love from the Texas press over it:

http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews.com/2012/11/bushs-top-secret-cayman-islands-speech-youre-welcome-america.html/

Guaranteed, next year's keynote speech will be from "former GOP presidential candidate; Mitt Romney."

1) I don't just spam forums, as you try to characterize it. I am obviously a person who will engage people is discussions, but usually those are about far more relevant issues than where my Patch account was originally set up.

2) The Patch editors have made it clear. over and over again, that they welcome cross state discussions, especially if the article is of a national interest. Patch itself promotes their articles through search engines in such a way that if you google news on certain topics, various Patch articles come up for the world to read and engage in. This type of cross state contribution is exactly what Patch is trying to get.

3) People like little hoffa are too simple minded to recognize that where somebody's account is set up, is not necessarily where they live. When I started on Patch, there was no Patch for where I lived and an article posted in Belmont Shore just happened to be the first article on any Patch site that I responded to and, in turn, now shows as my profile. I have residences in three states and ownership stakes in businesses in 7 other states. That is ten different states that I pay taxes in and have a personal or professional interest in.

4) @Mcbride - You don't get where I am by being an idiot, which is what you must have mistaken me for, if you thought that I was about to share that info on here.

Also, to point number 3, have you ever gone to the generic patch.com front page and seen the US map of where Patch has sites set up? Less than half the states have a locally set up Patch. Do people here really think that there is nobody in Colorado, Texas, etc. that are reading and posting on Patch sites? Of course they are and like me, their profile will simply show as the location of the very first article that they posted to. That is why, when the "GPS" police show up on sites like this, it all looks rather ridiculous to anybody with half a brain that really understands the scope of what Patch is. It shows very small thinking on the part of these location hounds.

No need to get snippy, Watts - really. We have lot of people on "the Patch" who claim to do this, that and the other thing - be this, that and the other thing. I don't take much of it seriously, particularly when it comes from an anonymous name.

8:59 pm on Friday, November 2, 2012

Really? No need to get snippy? What was the need to even mention that the first time that I posted to Patch, that it was on the Belmont Shore Patch? I come here seeing if there is even the slightest chance for discussion of what people may think about the fact that George W is using the notoriety of having been president, as a way to now promote methods of moving US wealth offshore. Or how about somebody like Romney, who does this already who thinks that it is fine to run for president after having done so.

Instead, I was wasting my time engaging with people who can't even grasp that the internet isn't just a series of pipes that runs in their own backyard. For whatever illogical reasons that you may have, instead you worry about where a person first posted to Patch (not even necessarily where they live, as I have never lived in Belmont Shores). Do you see how inane that is? I was just reading an article in a MN Patch and I saw a back and forth between two people and one lived in Atlanta Georgia, but had a MN profile, because that is where he first posted. I could tell from reading the posts that even he didn't understand how or why his profile was set that way.

A couple of numb nuts thought that they were cracking some secret code of Patch by clicking on a profile and making a big deal if it wasn't local and then people like yourself jumped on that same bandwagon, without even thinking about why you were doing it or how relevant any of that information was.

Watts, you're at least the third person today I've seem pasting that same piece of canned spam about Bush at some conference in the Caymans. You didn't stumble on some undiscovered gem. It apparently ended up in enough other folks inboxes or regular talking points websites that it had made the rounds here and G-d knows where else by the time you stumbled over here with it. As I said in my original reply to your yawner, Jean Hoffman beat you to it. Not only here, but in about 8 or 9 other threads on assorted other Patch locals as well.

But since you did ask, I could care less. It's really got nothing to do with this election.

As for my knowledge of the interweb and the beguiling ways of The Patch, I'm comfortable with it.

Patch has decided it's not going to do anything about folks like Joe Bob and Jean who drop repetitive, often times off-topic C&P jobs of talking points du jour in a half dozen or more threads, sometimes on articles that originate in the same or locally cross-polinated Patch sites. It clutters up the comments section and it's annoying. I've decided I'm going to be annoying right back at them. Deal with it.

Romney campaign crowds getting smaller

The greenvilleonline.com reports that Mitt Romneys first two rallies in Virginia on thursday were strikingly smaller than similar events just two weeks ago with large empty spaces and crowds totaling no more than 2,500 a stark contrast to the droves that attended rallies in places like Chesapeake and Leesburg following Romney's successful performance in the presidential debates. The final rally, at an amphitheater in Virginia Beach on Thursday evening, was significantly larger than the earlier events.

President Obamas campaign last week thursday Oct 25th in Richmond, VA had a crowd of 15,000....

Then Obama murders our people there and doesn't lift a finger to save them, goes to Vegas the next day, calls the attack a protest that grew out of hand. Takes two weeks to admit it was terrorism, and promises to release info as it becomes available. That's Kenyan speak for "after the election."

Cracker McDonnell and teh simians in the GOP bullied the CRO into hiding the report.

Hey left wingers. Spread this baby around like Nutella.

Keith, AOL (not exactly the premier source for breaking news) had that on their front page about the time you were shaving the hair off your tongue this morning.

Nice Admiral Stockdale impression, though. It becomes you.

If Rachel Maddow reported it I am sure something has to be wrong with it. Ronald Reagan showe that tax cuts can help stimulate the economy, but not by themselves. Other policies need to be in place that will stimulate job creation. If you give EVERYONE (not just the rich) lower taxes, they will have that much more to spend, save, or invest.

How about this Schmitzy, let's pretend you gave that 50 buck you owe Hoffa to him. For Hoffa, and many others, it would have the same effect as a tax cut. Hoffa now has 50 dollars to take his lady to a fairly nice restaurant. The owner now has a little more money which he pays staff, rent, utilities and himself. Also, the waiter has a little more money that he can spend on gas so he can get to work. The gas station owner now has money to pay his employees, pay rent, buy more gas...

Maybe this will explain it for you Schmitzy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2auI6Uz3D8I

Wait, wasn't there a recession or some such, described as the worst since the Great Depression, that started at the end of the George W. Bush administration? Could that explain why the past four years have been challenging? Gosh.

Lol Bren is desperate and willing to settle with piss poor numbers like those. Bren I am not willing to settle with failure just so you can have your socialist experiment. Back up your support for those numbers or move along.

You learn a lot about a man's character during adversity..........

When freshmen assembly member Paul Farrow had a question on why protective services were exempt from collect bargaining Farrow went to the Republican Party leaders for his answers. What did freshmen assembly member Chris Kapenga do? Kapenga was the star of the gossip columnist Daniel Bice's articles and Jeff Flemming's loser of the week on the Charlie Sykes show. Kapenga openly ran his mouth calling key members in his own party and the governor a sell out. I believe this is why every Republican has turned their back on Kapenga and not endorsed him. We need a mature senator that can handle conflict without starring in the gossip column. That's why I am supporting Paul Farrow for senate and you should also.

I enjoyed this sentence, "69-year-old Connie Merkel of Oshkosh said she loved Romney's message of taking responsibility and not blaming other people for the country's problems." An example of how successful the right is in feeding misinformation to its left-brain economic base.

Bob McBride - great job exposing the paid posters who come from out of State to troll. Obama's team took a play right from the The Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China.

"The Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China now holds regular training sessions, whose participants are required to pass an exam after which they are issued a job certification.[8] Some estimates[1] claim thousands of such commentators while other estimates put their numbers as high as 280,000–300,000.[8][18]

According to the Chinese Communists' opinions of the recruitment of university Work Committee (tentative), the university Internet commentators are mainly selected from cadres or student cadres at Communist Party Publicity Department of universities, Youth League, Office of Academic Affairs, Network Center, Admissions Employment Department, Political Theory Department, Teaching Department and other units.[19]

The court of Qinghe District, Huai'an organized a team of 12 commentators.[20] Gansu Province hired 650 commentators, sorted by their writing abilities.[21] Suqian Municipal Publicity Department's first 26 commentators' team were reported by Yangtse Evening Post in April 2005.[22] According to high-profile independent Chinese blogger Li Ming, the pro-Chinese government web commentators must number "at least in the tens of thousands".[23]"

Thanks for exposing the paid trolls.

@Steve Conviction would tell me that Obama and Romney owe their souls to their corporate masters. That is why they both promise to sign more assinine trade agreements to please the 1% and screw the American people. There is no surprise there.

Very interesting!

The states that know Romney best -- Massachusetts where he was governor and now lives, and Michigan where he was born -- both strongly favor Obama, not Romney. They must know something that Romney supporters don’t know!
