Why it’s Romney and Not Very Close

MEDIA POLLING is to quote Rush Limbaugh, "THE BIGOTRY OF LOW EXPECTATIONS"!

The bloom is off Obummer's plume.

The country will vote to fire O.

Republicans and Independents hate his guts and want him out.

There’s no use pretending O has an outside chance - not after Denver was a game-changer.

I smell victory in the air.

I hate to be a KillJoy, but...even if Romney has a small edge, there’s gonna be a lot of liberal voter fraud (people voting multiple times). I keep reading about people tweeting that they voted multiple times—and that’s just the stupid ones who announce it. For every one of them, there will be 1000s who do it and keep their mouth shut. And then there are the truckloads of illegals who will vote Obama. Many voting officials, especially timid and/or liberal ones, will just look the other way. Some may even assist.

Dems don’t care about “rules” — they just want their side to win. They justify this behavior by telling themselves that the issues are too important NOT to cheat.

This is why we have to turn out in vast vast numbers.

[waxer1]

I agree. Using 2008 numbers is a huge mistake. No matter what you hear vote vote vote.

"Dems don’t care about “rules” — they just want their side to win. They justify this behavior by telling themselves that the issues are too important NOT to cheat."

The GOP has never been very good at combating vote fraud. If you are right, then that quote about about having a Republic if you can keep it comes into play.

Just heard Robert Gibbs on Fox & Friends offering nothing but went to the "blame Bush" card the whole interview!

VICTORY FOR MITT!!! (please)

It is going to be a tough day. Sure all the numbers look like Romney has a real shot today. But, let’s not forget - PEOPLE WANT THEIR FREE STUFF. PERIOD. AND THEY WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA. Those of us that have contributed over our life or are contributing now have to get out there and vote. A gaffe means a true statement one shouldn’t say. 47% was a gaffe. It is true. Remember: The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” ― Alexis de Tocqueville This holds true to President’s too! VOTE!

[Humbug]

That is a legitimate concern, but in my opinion it’s counterproductive to openly worry about it right now. Also, i remember before the Wisconsin recall people here were saying similar things. Yet of course we not only won, but won big.

Let’s not psych ourselves out. Whatever they may or may not do, we can overcome it if we stay positive and turn out en masse.

This is the only day in the last 4 years I wish I still had cable so I could watch liberal news anchors like Chris Matthews soil themselves on national TV.

I wonder if, in the case of a Romney popular vote victory today, if anyone will take the opportunity to remind the Progressive folk that if their National Popular Vote Bill kicked in today, then 132 of Obama's Electoral Votes would STILL go to Romney. (HI, CA, WA, IL, MD, DC, NJ, MA, and VT) Instead of, say, a 273-265 spread for Romney, it would become a 405-133 debacle. And even worse for them, it could be pointed out, even if Obama found the extra X-million votes to be the popular vote winner, he would gain exactly ZERO Electoral Votes from that very same bill. Their minds will explode, and then they will quickly scream for that bill to be repealed in those 9 states. (The pact is NOT in force today because the signatory states do not yet total half of the available EV's... "only" 25% right now.)

But sadly, this post is irrelevant. I think the Chicago machine is in full force for today and tomorrow, with the help of numerous national and international bodies, and they'll do enough "creative" work to steal yet another one.

In 2004 many of the libs got drunk and began slurring their words on the air when it appeared Bush was going to win. Not an exaggeration.

I do hope Prissy Chrissy has his adult diapers on.

place mark... lots to read today.

[joe fonebone]

My lifetime experience... the worse the road trip, the better the end result...

they lost my voter card at the polls, the lady with it just took off... took the poll workers about 10 minutes to find her and get me a ballot.. place was packed..

accidents on the freeway on my way in, with slow mo mo fo’s all over the place, took over an hour and a half to get in..

sooo, bad road trip equals excellent results..

romney in a landslide, pub house and pub senate, with the states putting pubs in all over the place...

I have no intention of “psyching myself out”. If anything, the spectre of voter fraud should motivate people to turn out. I’m going to vote on the way to work. In the final analysis, its the best I can do.

Voter ID has to be the main issue in every single state in the Union in the immediate future.

Early voting only gives the Dems more opportunity to have their minions vote in a number of places. I don’t think those ‘provisional’ ballots are chacked against the whole state & surely not against the whole nation.

I concur about whole early voting thing. There are too many ways to milk that for voter fraud. Also, if voting was only on Election day, a lot of libs would be too lazy to do it. And then there’s Motor Voter....
