Montana and Idaho will probabaly remain OK during my lifetime. Wyoming is another possibility. Progs and parasites don't want to live three hours by car from the nearest Starbucks, and they really hate dealing with the frozen stuff. Crowheart, WY has nice weather five months out of the year. ;-)

I won't leave America because, well, there is nowhere else to go. The other choices are either liberal socialist petri dishes or dirt-world crapholes. I don't have the money to go live in a compound on some Costa Rican mountaintop. I don't know if I would go even if I did, though.

I was there for the Grand Opening of the TJs in Reston. It was a nice little town back then.

Hope you are right.

If it goes our way, election night and the next couple days could be...interesting. If Zero is trending poorly going in I'm taking a few days off so I don't have to go near Baltimore.

Not only that but Obama gave up forty two percent to his opponent in the West Virginia primary, an opponent who is in a federal prison in Texas! He then gave up twenty percent running UNOPPOSED in North Carolina! Twenty percent of the voters went for “other”.

But “barely” is enough.

But STILL, WHY...

If you really want to know, Milton Friedman has articulated some very thoughtful and knowledgeable answers. Here's just two of many from which to choose.

OK, lets straighten this out... Raw Poll, Registered Voters,

Obama 46 Romney 45 Undecided 9

Likely Voters Romney 47.5 Obama 44.5 Undecided 9...

Undecided splits to challenger 80-20

Romney 53.1, Obama 46.9...

Plus LA Times is MSM, so there is even more there but hard to quantify...

Thank you and have a nice day...

I learned on Rush today...a lot of these Yankee transplants are called *Halfbacks* ...I’m glad Rush asked the caller, from NC, I believe, what the term meant...

A person originally from the northeastern U.S. who retired to Florida only to later move “half way back” to the southern Appalachian mountains....b/c they found Florida too hot in the summer...and find the mountains of NC cooler. :)

Amazing, never heard that term before. "only to later move “half way back""

We have several in our Legion here in Hershey. Several moved back from Florida to Ashville, NC area. They are still bitching though. The golf courses are too hilly.
All of them good people.

“I have conducted a poll and the “results” are:

Obama- 112%
Romney- 0%
Other- 3%

How can I get it published?”

The AP and reuters are hiring new obama ass-kissers.

Good for you! We will stay here and FIGHT these people, even if the only thing we have left are teeth and fists - like the Spartans at Thermopylae. And like the Persians - THEY WILL BE STOPPED.

He said we should all feel free to use

He is only "barely" holding a lead over Romney in Florida...because they haven't polled the dead. When the dead vote, (twice) things might be different.

Obama is not scared, he has the Dem thugs and criminals to handle the election results for him.

Don’t forget all the Muslims that have moved into Northern Virginia, too. They are complete and utter slime and a blight on the land.
