Minnesota GOP Statement Regarding Jill Biden's Visit to Minnesota Tomorrow

MNGOP Statement Regarding Jill Biden's Visit to Minnesota Tomorrow

St. Paul – Republican Party of Minnesota Deputy Chairwoman Kelly Fenton issued the following statement regarding Jill Biden's campaign stops in Minnesota tomorrow:

"The Obama campaign never predicted that Minnesota would be in play, but poll after poll is showing that the race is tightening up here and Minnesotans are tired of the Obama agenda.

"The fact that the Obama team is running radio ads here in our state, coupled with Jill Biden's second visit this fall show that the Obama/Biden ticket just doesn’t have the same enthusiasm or grassroots strength it did four years ago. Obama has failed to create more jobs and in fact, his policies are crushing the middle class. As Governor Romney said, 'it just doesn’t have to be like this.'

"Polling has shown a significant shift among women voters towards Romney since the first debate - and I expect it to continue to do so through Election Day. Minnesotans have a great choice to move this country forward with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan."

Obama for America Releases New Television Advertisement: “Made In Ohio”

OFA Releases New Television Advertisement: “Made In Ohio”

CHICAGO— The people of Ohio know the clear choice they face in this election.  OFA’s new television advertisement, “Made in Ohio,” features Ohioans who know just how important President Obama’s rescue of the auto industry was for them, their families, and their communities. They know too how it felt to hear Mitt Romney promise to let the whole industry collapse. That is why Ohioans understand that this election is about two fundamentally different visions of an economy: between moving America forward by building the economy from the middle class out, or taking us backward with a top-down approach.

Brian:
"They came up and said you are definitely laid off—everybody as of right now."

Karen:
"What was I going to do for my children? Are they going to have a home?"

Miles:
"Without President Obama's rescue of the auto industry, Ohio would have collapsed."

George:
"Mitt Romney would have just let us go under- just let them go...bankrupt."

Romney:
"Yeah, that's...that's exactly what I said, the headline that you read which is, said: "let Detroit go bankrupt."

Karen:
"And for him to just say— let them fail."

George:
"How can you say something like that? It's just beyond me."

Obama for America Releases New TV Ad: “Wonderful”

Obama for America Releases New Ad: “Wonderful”

CHICAGO -- Obama for America released a new television advertisement today highlighting the clear differences between Mitt Romney and President Obama on the crucial issue of education. Romney doesn’t believe putting more teachers in classrooms would grow the economy over the next four years, and he’s fought against efforts to reduce class sizes, saying it could actually be harmful. President Obama has a different view. He understands that smaller class sizes and great teachers are a key to building a stronger economy and a strong middle-class.

“Wonderful” will air in Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, Virginia, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin

Mitt Romney:
"We all like school teachers. It's a wonderful thing... But hiring school teachers is not going to raise the growth of the U.S. economy"

Voiceover:
"Mitt Romney on education."

Mitt Romney:
"All the talk about we need smaller classroom size, look that's promoted by the teachers unions to hire more teachers."

Voiceover:
"President Obama has a different view. He believes smaller class sizes and great teachers are a key to a stronger economy and a stronger middle class."

Public Policy Polling 2012 Iowa Poll: Romney 49% Obama 48%

RNC Statement on September 2012 Fundraising

RNC Statement on September 2012 Fundraising

WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus announced the RNC raised $48.4 million in September and had $82.6 million cash on hand at the end of the month.

“The overwhelming support for the Romney-Ryan ticket has produced yet another impressive month for RNC fundraising,” said RNC Chairman Priebus. “We are proud to have raised over $48 million in September, with 97 percent of donations to the RNC coming in amounts of $200 or less.

“While we continue to put money into our ground game and fully fund our absentee ballot, early vote and Election Day GOTV efforts in all our battleground states, our historic cash on hand figure also allows us to continue funding our independent expenditure committee, run highly effective hybrid ads and assist in electing Republicans across the country at all levels.

“Americans know we cannot afford four more years like the last four, and only Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan have a plan to take us toward a better future. The support of Americans ready for a new direction has allowed us to continue implementing our unprecedented ground game, while also communicating our message. Our strength on both fronts will result in Republican victories up and down the ticket in eighteen days.”

ADDITIONAL NUMBERS

• 97% of the donations to the RNC in September were $200 or less.
• 92% of donors to the RNC in 2012 have given $200 or less.
• The RNC added 6,000 donors on average per day with an average 2,600 being first time donors.
• In September low dollar donors gave 11% more than in August, and in August low dollar donors gave 29% more than in July.
• The RNC has raised 27% more low dollar money in 2012 than during the same period in 2000 and 23% more in 2012 than during the same time in 1996–both presidential election years when Democrats held the White House.
