That is, I think, the heart of the whole issue
Obama’s support was MAXED OUT last time
Hopey-changey dork sold everyon on being a new thing, and there was also the historical significance of being the first black president...
But even blacks are not all stupid enough to vote for a moron (again) because he is black- so he got all the support he was ever going to get from them.
Then there were the independants who were sold a bill-of-goods and are now horrified at what he has been doing.
He will not get any one who voted for McLame last time (who will suddenly think “hey he did a good job”)
So he has no where to go but DOWN
But that is not enough- Romney has to energize people- He needs Gingrich-style enthusiasm from his campaign - talking about bringin him on board to help balance the budget
Obama is the president for 3 primary reasons
1) The anti Clinton Wing of the Republican Party... He basically managed to be the last NON CLINTON standing, this is the only way he got through the primary.
2) He is darked skinned so he motivated blacks and other minorites to vote for him for the “historical” nature, didn’t matter that he is actually biracial, raised by a white mother who was a bank VP and her white parents.
3) Anti Bush sentiment, sadly Rove/Bush did a terrible job during their presidency defending their decisions and record, they compeltely lost the PR war by the strategy of 1000 cuts, those who opposed them were out there ever day sniping, day in and day out for 8 years, and the administration by and large ignored it all rather than responding to it.. this meant by the end of his second term, overall sentiment against Bush was huge, and republican voting was supressed.
Obama has NONE of that this time. There is nothing historic to be contrived about voting for this loser again... Bush is long gone, though he’ll still try to blame him for everything, it doesn’t hold water 4 years later.
His record is one of abysmal failure, so the only thing he can do is attempt to demonize his opponent.. By every measurable level this administration has been a complete failure.
Romney for his many faults cannot be painted as more dangerous or scarier than 4 more years of Obama. Obama’s only game plan is to still try to paint Romney as an extremist which is laughable on its face.
Seriously look at Obama, he’s out there saying things like “ROMNEY’S GOING TO RAISE YOUR TAXES”... I mean come on, for my entire life I’ve had to listen to leftist bitch that Republicans just try to stir up people by claiming the tax issue against their democratic oponents and here’s Obama, the author of the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE! trying to scare voters that Romney’s going to raise your taxes??? Its laughable.
Obama is going down, and going down big.. the only question is those on the left don’t think he’s going to go down as far as he is, he won in 2008 by about 53 to 46 (52.9 to 45.7) That means with all the Historic, Hopey Changey nonsense, and the height of Anit Bush ferver he got a little over 7% of the vote more than McCain 7.2% to be exact.
Now, lets fast forward 4 years... The economy is in the toilet, FEWER PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY WORKING TODAY THAN THE DAY HE TOOK OFFICE, not a fewer percentage, but literally FEWER PEOPLE! This is the only administration in the modern era that can claim that!! Not even CARTER handle the economy that bad. 50% of college graduates can’t find a job. 15% of the black population is “officially unemployed” and overall unemployment has been at 8% or higher his entire term. (real unemployment is more like 14-15% overall, and over 20% for blacks)
Now, with all that in mind, do you REALLY, HONESTLY think that less than 3.6% of the voting population isn’t going to change their vote?? Because that’s what has to happen for Obama to win a second term, if just 1 vote more than 3.6% of the voters change their votes against him, he loses the popular vote... Now losing the popular vote in and of itself doesn’t mean you lose the election thanks to the EC.. but Given the EC favors, by design, the more sparely populated states, AND the overwhelming majority of those states vote Republican, do you honestly think, for one minute that less than 3.6% of the voting public isn’t going to change their minds about supporting this loser?
Be serious folks, independents are going to break damned close to 2-1 for Romney. Some polls are already showing 20% of democrats openly admitting they will vote for Romney... Do you really honestly think this guys going to win???? It doesn’t add up folks.
Don’t get me wrong, fight hard like we are in a 50-50 race, but don’t worry about these foolish polls. Obama and his ilk have spent over 100 Million dollars and they haven’t gotten anything for it. Obama can’t get his support any higher than low 40s because the electorate has already made up its mind about him. It doesn’t matter what he says or does, they have written him off.. this is why his attack ads continue to backfire, and the more they backfire the more reduculous the claims get and the more rediculous the claims get the more voters write him off and the lower he goes.
Have faith folks, Fight hard, but don’t buy into this nonsense.
