RE: I think it is clear Obama is now ahead and is the favorite in the race. I wish it weren’t so, but demographics and an increasing moocher class have made it inevitable.

Here’s a question for everyone -— at this point in time in 1980, how was Jimmy Carter in the polls compared to Ronald Reagan?

Reagan... the finest President of my lifetime... used every single shred of his being to win the American people over... he talked over the media and laid down clear and concise plans as to how he would fix things and he promised that America would rise again to be the leader of the free world... and he explained how we would defeat communism both in the Soviet Union and in Central and South America. He preached American Exceptionalism and his belief in the American people. romney has none of what made Reagan, Reagan.

The electorate is completely different today and there are less thinking Americans than there were then... we have generations of indoctrinated leftists... trained and mis-educated in the public school system. We have a man that is one of the worst gop candidates of my lifetime. I know many of you think that it is not true but even those that I know that are 100% certain to vote for romney... do not like him. We all know why... You Tube is full of mitt in his own words, describing himself as a progressive and then articulating his support for all agenda items that Conservatives stand against.

mitt has done absolutely nothing to win over the base, when all polling is showing that he has a problem with us. Many of his moves seem to be hostile to the Conservative base. He thinks that he can skate to a victory and that is not going to happen. Today abc news reported that Gallup is showing mitt at the lowest approval rating of any presidential challenger candidate in our history. Maybe that is true and maybe it is not... but perception is reality in politics the reality is that mitt is considered a weak candidate. IMHO he is just that.

mitt would be a formidable candidate if he were a dim... but he is not a dim... at least he is not running as a dim. mitt himself needs to decide that he wants to win and he needs to fight against obama and those horrible mccainiacs that he has running his campaign. He must find a way to win over those of us that do not trust him... he must find a way the secure his base and then win over America with firm plans and sincere pledges to do what MUST be done to save America. I have my doubts that he is capable of doing those things and that is why I think that this election is so close... when it never should have been.
