Pols see polls point to Romney triumph; ‘hidden vote’ to crush Obama
Washington Times ^ | October 31, 2012 | Ralph Z Hallow

Posted on 11/01/2012 3:13:29 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The tidal wave of anti-debt, anti-big-government voters that swamped Democrats in the 2010 congressional elections is readying itself again, poised to sweep Mitt Romney into the Oval Office, some political observers say.

“It’s very, very likely,” veteran Republican campaign pollster John McLaughlin said, predicting a Romney tsunami Tuesday.

“Romney has surged in all the target states,” Mr. McLaughlin said. “The undecided vote is not really undecided. They overwhelmingly disapprove of the job the president has done and will largely vote against the incumbent. It’s a hidden vote that will vote against the president.”

Lots of mainstream media fawning over Obama, Christie, and oversampled polls....here is a reasonable alternative.

The MSM thinks Obama is the Comeback Kid.

In their alternative universe, perhaps.

The rest of us would be only too happy to see him goosed out of the Oval Office!

In poker do you tell the other guy what your ‘really’ holding? No.
In combat do you give up your location
to the enemy before taking your shot? No.
When hunting deer do you yell out really loud before taking your shot? No.

It’s ok to tell your team where they stand not the other team.

Could this be like the Ronald Reagan landslide of 1980? He won 489 to Carter's 49 electorial votes. Won 44 states. Notice the North East states Reagan took as well.

Is the GOP relying on a sudden, undocumented, “surge of enthusiastic Republican voters” to wash Obama from the White House? This is not a sound policy. Is it based on wishfull thinking or do pundits really perceive a mass GOP vote? How realistic is this?

This is even better. Reagan 1984 landslide over Mondale. Reagan won 525 to Mondale's 13 electorial votes. Carried 49 states. Mondale only won his home state of Minnesota.

It is based on the last election (2010) and early voting statistics...not wishful thinking.

Obama = Carter. Obama worse than Carter. Romney = Reagan (sort of). Result = tsunami vote against Obama.

It is documented, they just don't want to believe it is coming.

The same thing happened in 2010 and in the WI recall, they were amazed at the GOP vote.

Internals!

Look at the internals of the polls that have Obama even or up one and you tell me that the dems have the same enthusiasm or more than 2008. Please, in what reality is that going to happen today. You can already see in early voting that Obama does not have the same mojo.

Then take into account when they are polling blue states they get 8-11% telling the pollster they are undecided 5 days out from the election...tell me in what year you have seen that...Uh no, at most this last week, there is 1-3% undecided and you have a lot of people who are not telling pollsters they are either not going to vote or refusing to tell that pollster in a dem state who they are going to vote for. I would be a little worried about those votes if I was a dem.

The next little trick you need to look for is how much they over sample women.

One more thing to really get you to think about momentum....when a presidents party looses big in mid-term elections he almost always goes on to loose.

Mitt will stomp obama’s arse. Why do you believe those that you know for an absolute fact have lied to you about everything in America and around the world for the past 4 years? Who do you trust... la slimes... ny slimes... cbs... abc... nbc... ppp... tipp... a political science class at the University of Iowa and all of their dim allies that own and run those entities... or Rasmussen and Gallup who are independent businesses with many years of polling experience? We have shown you the internals... we have explained how these polls are skewed for political reasons... GREAT POLITICAL SCIENTISTS like Michael Barone have stated clearly that Mitt will win... if you like supersition... Republicans have not lost a Presidential election since 1840 that happens on November 6... the University of Colorado have a formula that has NEVER failed and they say Mitt will win... Karl Rove says Mitt will win! NOTHING in this life is certain but it is better to be where Mitt is than being a failed sitting president at 47% max... so why with all the negative vibes?

As well as Bob McDonnell`s thumping of Creigh Deeds on 2009. Going into election day, polls indicated a 9-12 point margin, but McDonnell won by 18+.

We GOPers, Conservatives and other patriots have control over the destiny of this country. If we want Obama gone badly enough, we`ll overrun the dems not only for the White House, but the Senate as well. It can be done if we`re sufficiently motivated.. we`ll soon find out.

U.S. demographics have changed a lot since 1984. Bluntly put, there’s not enough white voters today for the GOP to ever duplicate Reagan’s curb stomp of Carter and then Mondale. Still, Hussein is going down.

I’m seeing lib comments on Yahoo spinning a Romney win. They are blaming Obama’s loss on public disgust of gridlock caused by Republicans.

OK, I have received enough feedback from several folks, thank you all. I am hopeful that Romney SMOTHERS Obama but I just hate getting over confident, that's all. It's almost like, too good to be true. How do we know that Obama will not sabotage something here? As the old saying goes in the Middle East, from your mouths to G-d”...

National polls show Romney winning independents by double digits. Large sample polls by Gallup and Rasmussen also show the turnout this year will be more Republican than Democrat.

However, pollsters still cling to turnout assumptions that are not simply equal to the Democrat 2008 turnout numbers (the Democrats’ high water mark historically), but well in excess of that number.

You win independents by double digits, and you’re looking at a landslide.

“U.S. demographics have changed a lot since 1984. Bluntly put, there’s not enough white voters today for the GOP to ever duplicate Reagan’s curb stomp of Carter and then Mondale. Still, Hussein is going down.”

In actuality in the last 28 years, there has been a orchestrated indoctrination of an entire generation of Americans to a liberal mindset. The Department of Education, established and staffed during the Carter administration has, through its dispensing of Federal Education dollars, led the charge. The NEA, at first, and then the AFT have jumped on board.

Those who lived through the Carter years, prayed that Americans would not in the future, vote for liberalism again, especially after the Carter experience.

Time dims memories, and the older and wiser generation that fought socialism prior to and during WWII began to die out. The young radicals of the 60’s, who rejected their parents’ values, moved into positions of power, and little by little started dictating their new version of “truth”. The rally cry in the late 60’s and early 70’s was that “The media is the message”. So they took over the means of dispensing the message. Fortunately the public has alternate means to obtain the truth, other than the MSM.

Hopefully on Tuesday, when the American voters reject the Obama version of community organizing, socialism, and outright Marxism, we will turn from the current nightmare, and have a new birth of freedom, and responsibility.

Unfortunately socialist are deeply dedicated to the imposition of their desire for a socialist state, and will use any means to obtain that end. All you have to do is look at the reemergence of socialism in Russia, and the present Institutional Presidency with its many socialist czars, with no accountability to the American voter.
