With the slightest opposition to or disagreement with Obama denounced as racism, I won't be surprised with a large Bradley effect.

Yea! It appears that the democrat”1000 Year Reich” fizzled in less than two years!!!

Eh, not sure about that this time around. I think in 2008 that would have been more of the case than in 2012. Obama being sold as some decent man of change who would be inclusive etc. Anyone opposing such a great man was of course only opposing him because he was black. I don’t think voters now feel as shy about saying he sucks and no they are not going to vote for him because he has an actual flop record to run against.

Democrats are a Major Aberration.

“Relative to 2008, Republicans have made no gains among registered voters with household incomes of $75,000 or more, but they are doing much better among those making less than that.”

Translation: Obama won the wealthy in 2008 and the dems have regularly been the party of wealth and elitism. The meme of the intelligentsia has been a lie and known for the powerful lie that it is. That is their primary hope this fall and also their primary frustration. Their rich friends are not emptying their pockets for them— even after they attacked marriage.

It wasn’t an aberration. It was a manufactured perfect storm. The perfect nominee, the worthless opponent, the hated incumbent, the crisis created at just the right time, the drooling, compliant and cooperative media. They aligned all the stars together deliberately to subjugate us.

And they may succeed! Unless the people rise up as one great tide and flood them as Moses did the Egyptians. Then we must keep an eye on the leaders who replace them, and throw them out of office when they too begin to act like condescending despots.

If you look back at 50+ years of Presidential elections, Democrat victories are, in general, aberrations. Each one has an unusual circumstance which results in a Democrat victory.

1960 - JFK squeaks out an overnight win in Illinois - pushing him over the electoral top - by having thousands of dead Chicagoans with the same hand-writing vote for him in the last hours.
1964 - LBJ wins on the memory of a slain hero.
1976 - Jimmy Carter slips past Gerald Ford as the country is still recovering from Watergate and Nixon's resignation.
1992 & 1996 - Bill Clinton wins a plurality of the vote thanks to the entry of Ross Perot into the race.
2008 - Barack Obama gets enough white guilt vote to beat a pathetic candidate who was only interested in being the nominee, not the president.
