Things don’t look good for Romney, as of this writing. His path to victory is narrow, and the results are not breaking in his favor. All this news flies in the face of the obvious signs of the past two weeks, that Romney was clearly winning, that Obama knew it, as did all the insiders. The huge rallies for the challenger easily dwarfed Obama’s. Romney and Ryan were confident on the stump, Obama and Biden strident and error prone. Polling showed dissatisfaction with the country’s direction, and Obama’s alleged charm had even worn off women. The all important independent vote was now in Romney’s camp, and by a large margin. The polls all had Romney ahead by large margins, or even. Republican pollsters were confident, Democrats defensive.
If all this was true, then what went wrong? Or, if nothing went wrong, then has this election been stolen?
Start fitting.
Forget it. The American electorate has sold out.
I don’t get it either...I just can’t believe 0bama could get reelected again.
It’s demographics.
If Obama wins, he should send Christie Kreme Christie two dozen donuts,
As Christie greatly helped Obama by slobbering all over him. Christie is
Finished as a national political figure.
Never trust the media.
Too many states involved, and margins that are too great.
What has been stolen was our country.
That’s the reason zero wants everyone to live in the inner cities - they go heavily Democratic.
An Appeal To Heaven
Just saw Robert Gibbs on Fox. My God, this guy tells it exactly how it is going to be. Republicans will be forced to bend to our will during the next four years. He reminds me of Nikita Krushchev.
Maybe at the edges, but there’s no denying we had the sh*t kicked out of us tonight. Obama outperformed expectations across the board.
I think this turned out like 2004, with the parties switched. Discontent with incumbent, but not enough to win. Not the best challenger in the world, and false hopes from polling, for whatever reason, for the party out of power.
It’s demographics.
Yeppers. Looks like the takers 47 percent have just taken over the country.
If voting machines can be hacked, then millions of votes could have been stolen. I live in NC and I am shocked that this state is so close. Something is not right...
No, the election is being stolen by your fellow “citizens” who have no concept of the value of Personal Liberty.
I never do, but all indications were positive for Romney. Historical data, general economy, etc. and trends all in his direction.
There were no "obvious" signs that Romney was winning. Only folks in total echo chambers believed that. The race is/was close. The popular vote totals will likely be within a point or so. If you thought Romney was "obviously" winning you weren't bothering to get your news from a wide variety of sources. Actually, the majority of the media has believed Obama was winning for a very long time now.
I live in New Jersey, and yes, Christie did go overboard with his praise of Obama. But, seriously, if all that was needed was a hug by a fat guy to get voters to overlook four years of awful economic news, serious scandals, ineffectual foreign policy and all the other wonderful things we know and love about Barack hussein Obama, then we were already very close to becoming Greece. Now we are there.
America is like an alcoholic. We are going to have to hit rock bottom before people wake up.
