“But I fully expect similar results of 2008 with maybe a bit larger margin of victory of 0bama, 55% to 44% with 0bama winning all the same states as in 2008 and possibly adding Missouri and maybe even Georgia. The people are just to dependent on government assistance to let him go”
Are you feeling well? Obama has about as much chance of winning Georgia as a pig flying. If there is a landslide it will go to the Republican.
Obama starts with the huge structural advantage bought for the Dems by LBJ, the Krintons, and now Obama himself. He's got 41% of the electorate bought-and-paid-for on the hook. As in, all he has to do is jerk the trotline, and they'll jump and scream for their fed-dollars just like my woman friends (who were Reagan Democrats) did after the 1995 "government shutdown" when Beastwoman and Slick brutally showed them the ground opening up beneath their feet financially without that government job and Social Security check.
Afterward, they denied -- no, really denied -- ever having voted for Reagan, denied ever having favored anything he'd ever done, and slathered hate and vitriol all over me about Republican greedy b*stards this and that and damn them all to hell. Pure, unreasoning fear, when Beast and Slick jerked the chain and said, "Come to Daddy! Who's your Daddy?" Call it Electoral Stockholm Syndrome.
Claude Pepper of Florida used to play that game all the time, cranking up the old people with his evil rants about "they" were going to take people's Social Security checks away, and the people at his rallies would be frantic, jumping and screaming while Claude ranted, "LAY YOUAH FILTHIH HAIN'S OFF'N OUAH SOSHUH SECYOOITIH!!"
People hooked hard like that can't even hold a conversation with you -- I've seen it.
