I'm not going to relax on this election, but you're right. It doesn't matter who the republicans put on their ticket.
This is 2008 redux. Back then, Bush hatred was so great that the Dems could have ran a cigar store Indian (they did for Governor in my state, NC) and reasonably expected a win.
Well, that's accurate enough, but I don't think that they'll turn out in the same numbers. Obama has lost the "Coolness" factor. When you're not the coolest kid at the table anymore, there's no way to get it back.
All the youth won't flock to Romney, either. They'll just stay home......which is OK by me.
Reagan got 50.7% of the popular vote in 1980. If all of Anderson’s votes had gone to Carter (highly unlikely), Reagan still would have gotten 50.7% of the popular vote in 1980.
I’m pretty sure 50.7% is a majority.
Well, maybe in some parts of the country. In public schools, they will talk about how he almost saved the country from disaster, but those evil republicans kept obstructing him.

Wow, you’re like a little school kid, labeling people with principled objections “haters”. Who else does that? Oh yeah, LIBERALS.
The only people who will vote for Obama are the Hate America First people and the free ride mob.
Let’s not forget the cracker haters too.
I have yet to be convinced that obama is going to lose. I still believe that there are enough fools, American haters, self hating white Liberals,and parasites to re-elect him.
Everyone points to POW/MIA but spend any time in Texas and you’ll hear it has to do with EDS. Money at the root of it always.
Two of my kids will be old enough to vote here in Virginia this November, voting in a presidential election for the first time. They are conservatives as are their friends. I also have a niece and a nephew in Ohio, casting their first presidential election votes against Obama. I am not convinced that the youth vote is going to be what it was the last time.
How much do you want to bet that the foreign third party is going to be ousted?
White liberal TV hosts - he's up from 96% to 99% as of the latest polling. They just know they are eventually going to get a monthly government check as a reward for their loyalty. :)
The vote fraud machine will be well-oiled this time, so the "votes counted" will probably be a good bit larger than the actual "ballots cast". Even so, I don't think Obama can generate enough enthusiasm among his base to win - it takes hours of work to drill through all the Obama holes on those punch card ballots like they did for Gore in Florida, and there will probably be something better on TV that night.
Otherwise known as Nixon's Revenge.
Let’s just kill this talk until after the Democrat convention.
ha.
Never heard that one before, but I like it
Good Lord, you're a mess.
You label me a "little school kid" and a "liberal"... oh wait, I mean a "LIBERAL"... because you feel I labeled people. Do you not see why that is silly?
Additionally, I was talking about people who hate Romney. The people who hate Romney proudly proclaim their hate of him. If you don't hate Romney, then I wasn't talking to you, genius.
I personally don't hate Romney, I just think he's a big government hump, but that's better than an American-hating marxist.
What was the point of your objection to my post again?
This isn’t hope, this is reality.
The author is pointing out the very realities of the world, and if you dig into the internals of the polls even today, you will see something that has been in every poll for 6+ months.
Simply, Obama cannot beat ANYONE this election cycle. His ONLY shot at winning was for the Republicans to put up someone that could be painted as more scary than Obama. And while Romney is a putz, he cannot remotely be spun as scaryier than Obama.
Obama has a peak, an absolute peak of 42-43%. If he campaigns perfectly he won’t get much above that number, and as his campaign stands right now, he won’t even get that, because he’s not doing everything perfectly.. His campaign is a shambles.. his attacks on Bain capital were nothing more than veiled attacks on capitalism itself, it backfired big time and he’s sticking with it? Why? because he is a socialist and honestly believes most americans are too.. He doesn’t see that he won in ‘08 out ot disgust with Bush, not out of endorcement of him.
He’s not going to win, he’s going to lose support in every major group, with the exception of the socialst/communists. Every other voting demographic he is going to lose points with.. Not only that, but the republican apathy of 08, that led to low republican turn outs, won’t happen this time. Every poll I’ve seen shows the majority of folks are going to crawl over cut glass to vote this fool out of office.
Swing voters that voted for him in 08 by and large realize it was a mistake, and the overwhelming majority are not going to repeat it.
Its not even going to be close on election day, not only that, but i truly believe 60 seats in the senate, is well within reach.
Now hopefully if this does happen, republicans will use that opportunity to undo 60 years of destructive programs that create learned helplessness in people and get this country back on track. Not holding my breath mind you, but I am hopeful.
Sorry, but anyone voting on that single issue, has been voting democratic for decades, so there is no gain there, perhaps an enthusiasm, but not a gain.
Secondly even if you do gain, that group is 1-2% of the overall population. If you assume 80% voted for him last time, and 90% do it this time, it still is easily countered many times over by a 15% swing by veterans.
There is nowhere for Fauxbama to run, before he could claim to be anything, he had no record other than “PRESENT”.. now he can’t say anything and not have a record to compare it against, and its a record of every measurable way of FAILURE.
HEre is the simple fact, and its the simple fundamental reason, forget everything else.. here is the money :
Obama will face election day with fewer Americans working, than there were the day he took office. NO PRESIDENT!, NONE in the modern age, has EVER had that distinction. Even the Carter years disaster had cumulative job growth over his presidency. Obama’s policies have led to fewer people working today, than when he took office, period.
He can claim “FORWARD” all he wants.. its nonsense and people know it.
“Many folks forget that in 1980 there was a third party candidate on the ballot.John Anderson split the pinko vote in half making it easier for the Tipper to win.We have no such situation this time and I think Obozo will beat Mittins without breaking a sweat.”
And you obviously forgot that Anderson ran in the primaries as a Republican before running as an Independent, making the Rep-Dem vote count split even bigger than just Reagan.
And that was Gipper not Tipper . . .
