Former Chairman and CEO of General Electric Jack Welch told Neil Cavuto today that Mitt Romney will win.
“Mitt Romney will win and I don’t want you to get weak-kneed like this last discussion with Charlie about Wall Street getting weak-kneed. Nobody’s getting weak-kneed.”
That’s some sage advice from an American hero.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet, and g’night all.

Tied polls is very good for Romney, but it is astounding today to see Rasmussen showing Obama gets 50% finally! I was pretty shocked. His upside down number on approval is at only -9!
Heck, he was as low as -21 off and on all year. Coming in at -9 is a jolting improvement as the Middle East burns against us.
Eric Holder must be secretly suing Rasmussen.
Don’t worry. Obozo blew it today. And it’s obvious that 4 years of “what’s your favorite ice cream” interviews has weakened Obozo’s ability to deal with serious debate. Romney will tear him apart in the debates.
Rand Paul said the same thing this morning. A lot of folks are seeing through these sham polls and the White House spin.
The cake has been baked since Romney was nominated and there is nothing either Obama or his palace press can do to unbake it. All that needs to be done now is to put the icing on the cake. And that will happen on November 6th.
Today was a political set back for Brack and Hill both. Neither had a cogent word to say in two different but very important venues.
OMGosh, Sarah is on Hannity! What has happened to her! She looks cooked in a Crist tanning booth! Yikes!
“Heck, he was as low as -21 off and on all year. Coming in at -9 is a jolting improvement as the Middle East burns against us.”

I also noticed that today.
I never understood how Obumbo does not show a linear decline
from the day he took the throne.
I do not remember when, if ever, he last had a minus single digit. I do remember the -21.
I noticed that, looks like she also colored her hair. I don't like that hard and old look, bring back my Sarah, Sarah!
True. Elections aren’t won in Sept, they are won in Oct-Nov.
“I never understood how Obumbo does not show a linear decline from the day he took the throne.”
He did show recisely such a decline; it was spun by his media. In 2009, Dems lost statewide races in 3 states Obama won in 2008 (MA, NJ, VA); a year later he had his mid-term “shellacking” (to use his words). He spent his third year fighting potential primary challenges from within his own party, and only then was able to focus on Republican opponents.
There is no other way to interpret those events; the media covered for him, but the problems are simply too big to convince voters otherwise. The unemployment, stagnant (or falling) wages, and (unreported) inflation should suffice to sink him - they can’t be concealed. He recently started speaking as though he has already been told he can’t win; he went from smiling nice guy to bitter race hustler in a very short time.
“He did show recisely such a decline;”
_______________________________
Yes, in his first year he declined, but leveled off at pretty much 45-50 percent in early 2010, with a few dips to near 40 percent.
I expect him to go down in flames this November, but we can never underestimate the stupidity of the average voter.
My greatest fear is an October surprise.
Mitt Romney = Bob Dole
I think you put too much stock in those approval ratings (certainly in terms of the losses in NJ and MA - that was a serious warning of a disconnect); American voters can be stupid, but as they watch their standard of living fall they’re like spanked children. Nobody can ignore the effect of the “new normal” on Americans that used to equate this with people living in Brazil. Obama’s response (that this is for our own good, whether we know it or not) isn’t going to fly. People are driving older cars, deferring repair work on their homes, etc. because of the economy; the media can’t hide it (though they’re doing their best to try).
Time to give this thread a refresh bump!
Good prediction.
