Bill Clinton pointed out that in the last 50 years, the total number of jobs created under Democrats was 42 million and 24 million for Republicans. Also, the Repubs had the Presidency for 28 years while the Democrats only had it for 22 years.
Also, he pointed out that Mitt Romney had recommended that we let the auto companies go bankrupt. Barack Obama recommended saving the auto industry. And now the auto companies are doing very well. Score is Obama 250.000 jobs vs Romney zero jobs. Zilch. Nada. None.

(19,326 posts)we cannot take ANYthing for granted before election day.
I say this for THREE very important reasons:
1) Citizen$ United GOP cash advantage
2) Massive voter suppression of Democratic voters
3) Computer voting (still not fixed) where voting machines
and source codes are mostly owned by private GOP corporations.
I estimate we'll need to win by at least 14-15% of real votes cast
(or who tried to vote, but couldn't), just to eek out a "51% win".
