Romney Will Lose If He Continues To Play It Safe
Rightwing Wing Nuts Blog ^ | 10/26/12 | John Alan

Posted on 10/26/2012 4:28:18 PM PDT by not romney

If you only listen to Fox News and Rush Limbaugh you believe Romney is winning. He's not, he's losing. Both Real Clear Politics and Intrade have Obama with 281 electoral votes with 11 days til the election. You only need 270 to win. Intrade predicted every state correctly in 2004 and had two states reversed in 2008.

Move your cursor over each state "click here" to see the candidates chance of winning. Notice Virginia has moved back toward Obama and has more chance of going for Obama than Ohio does of going for Romney. There have been a lot of one-off polls showing Pennsylvania and Michigan in play, however Intrade shows otherwise. Colorado is a toss up and currently leans Obama. Iowa and New Hampshire are trending Obama, while Wisconsin and Nevada are currently dark blue.

This is a far different picture from the one being painted by Sean Hannity, Dick Morris and Karl Rove. So then why is Romney pulling his punches on Benghazi? It's becoming clearer every day Obama refused to send in a rescue mission because he's haunted by the Jimmy Carter failed rescue attempt back in 1980.

I believe the Benghazi scandal has the potential of becoming one of the biggest in U.S. history. So again, why is Romney sitting with his arms folded? Because he's just as risk averse as Obama. He's terrified the media will again accuse him of politicizing the death of these four men. What, and Obama is not playing politics by withholding virtually all information, for nearly two months, until after the election?

Forget about the politics for a moment, only Romney has a megaphone large enough to force the media to get off their butts. The families deserve the truth and the American people deserve the truth. Once the truth comes out, the political consequences for Obama will be well deserved. If people knew Obama did nothing for seven hours while four of our men were being murdered, the election would be over. The problem is most people don't know. Now imagine how you'll feel on Nov. 7th if Romney loses because he played it safe by letting Obama off the hook on Benghazi.

You seem to show up in every ‘Obama is going to win’ thread. Weird how that happens.

Silver called the 08 election with leaked internal polls from the Obama team. He did nothing special in 10.

Oh Please, in Sept you wanted to proclaim Romney finished based on the same polls you now discount.

Sorry but your emotion based agenda around here has been made plain.

Hey, I just watched you state your opinion on O'Reilly.

Except you went by a different name. On FoxNews, you're known as "Geraldo Rivera."

IBTZ, troll!

Yer a damned troll.

On October 4th, you wrote:

1. Debates almost always play little role in the outcome of the election.
Except, of course, for THIS election, in which one debate sharply altered the course of the election.

Ya troll.

3. Romney is a very target rich environment. You can rest assured that in round 2 Obama will be swinging with 47%, Romneycare, Mitt’s flip flops.

Except, of course, every attack came off flat, and Romney was not 'target rich' after all.

Ya troll.

Then on October 3, you wrote:

(quoting someone else) "Thanks for the ping Vendome. After clearly stating that he PREFERS four more years of Obama, I hope this guys stay here is short, VERY SHORT!”

Uh oh, houeto just tattled on me, I’m in big trouble now.

Well, you weren't then, but you sure are now.

Ya troll.

And this:

I get about $10,000 a month from soros and media matters leases me a car. I’m going to put you in the romney rollover camp. the sad thing is that people like you think if the guy has an R after his name we won. that’s where you are wrong, all we did was make sure the dems have no opposition.

Sometimes the best thing to do when you are a paid troll is to mock being a paid troll.

Ya troll.

Finally there is this defeatest thread, in the face of momentum and (extremely flawed) polls that are STILL trending Romney.

You are a total troll and it's too obvious to me.

Admin, I will stake my rep on this one. Too dismissive, bordering on contempt with every post he makes to Freepers, and article after article that Romney will lose.

This election is a little different from 2004, 2008 and even 2010, for that matter. For one, you're a member at FR now ...

Kinda apples&oranges to contrast predictive performance of a judicial outcome vs. an electoral outcome; there’s a lot of more information from many different sources to help prognosticate an election, not so much for anticipating the whims of a USSC.

That being said, I don’t put a lot of faith in Intrade/et al, and I do think a great deal of the movement comprises dumb money.

Nevertheless, I still have to wonder: What information is driving these people’s decisions? Why is Obama up 63.5%…? It can’t -all- be dumb money sifting around. Surely at least some of bettors are privy to what people around here have been confident about for weeks now…

Now LONGBOW, on the other hand... to me, he doesn’t seem like a troll. Real misguided, but... that ain’t no crime.

I don't need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows.

Obama is going down. Even Axelrod is throwing in the towel.

Don't be like this guy:

Romney’s doing OK. And listening to his economy speech today, I wouldn’t exactly say that he’s playing it safe. Granted, he’s not doing “vote with your female parts” ads with plump, tattooed college girls, but he is hitting Obama hard with facts. And Obama cannot directly defend against facts.

So again, why is Romney sitting with his arms folded?

Because he doesn't need to do anything. He criticized Obama on September 12, and the media launched an attack at him. Now, as events unfolded, the media and the public are coming to the conclusion that there is a cover up about something there. Right now the focus is on Obama, if Romney attacks he could draw the attention away again. It is much better to have Obama floundering, with Romney running a positive message, looking presidential.

Eh, Nate Silver’s a stinky partisan turd and I wouldn’t pay him too much mind.

However, I do suspect the parasite class may indeed be too large to overcome now; this inflection point had been creeping up for awhile.
