I read this piece when it first came out. The points are even stronger today — after the Roberts Obamacare Supreme Court debacle.
Wayne Allan Root forgot about the dead and fraudulent votes. They still back Obama 100% or greater.
“Caution, never under estimate a rat backed into a corner. There will be an October surprise, that may hurt.”
A border crackdown, perhaps. Regardless, I think BO will lose, even with the traditional October surprise. I just don’t think we’ll see very much change in policy in the Pustule on the Potomac.
As far as I know there is no ‘law’ for the POTUSA as there is no ‘law’ for eligibility of congresspersons. The requirements are set/buried in the Constitution which is above any law, even those adopted to carry out the Constitution. It is the Constitution which delineates a difference for eligibility between offices. It requires in the one instance ‘natural born citizen’ for POTUSA and only ‘citizen’ for congresspersons. For ‘natural born’ many people as myself firmly believe that ‘natural born’ is bedded in the documented discussions and acceptance of the Founders which included Vattel’s reasoning for citizenship of both parents. Many people do not accept the Founders’ documented intent because the Founders were not explicit as to words in the Constitution. These persons would then have to accept that Obama is eligible baring any question of birth location that parentage is of no concern as to eligibility for POTUSA.
“I am significantly less optimistic.
Obama will:
1. win almost all the black vote
2. Win 75% of all other minorities
3. Add that to the fact that he probably will win a vast majority of those on government entitlements, which is a rapidly growing constituency.
4. Conservative support will be tepid.
To me this is a forumula for victory for the punk POTUS (God help us)”
******************
1. Yes, but their turnout will be down.
2. Mmm. 66%.
3. Yes. Definitely.
4. Of course. This is not compromise it is capitulation.
Still, I think the Massachusetts Moderate will win, though what could have been a landslide to restore liberty will be a squeaker for a reset to 2007.
“Nobody votes for the bottom of the presidential ticket anyway.”
Usually, anyway. 2008 was a bit of an anomaly.
Yeah - look at how badly things turned out the last time Republicans took over a ghastly unemployment, fuel supply, military/foreign policy, and inflation quagmire. Twelve years later, Republicans lost the WH again!

We We We
You say “We” a lot.
Who is “We”?
Because as far as I can tell, We have already lost the white house regardless of whether Obama or Romney win.
Oh, when I say “We” I mean Conservatives.
Who do you mean when you say “We”?
You and I realize that the next 4 years are going to be an extremely rough row. Romney realizes it too. That is why he has said that the actions he will have to take will likely result in him being a one term president. Rubio realizes that too.
As much as I like Rubio, I don’t believe accepting the VP slot would be a great career move for him. Besides I think he wants to earn the presidency on his own, and he has time.
Since I believe that anyone can beat Obama, it won’t matter who the VP choice is. This is a 100% anti-Obama election. Let’s face it, this is not an election conservatives are going to get excited about. We will just go to the polls and do our duty. No October surprise will save him. Nor will there be enough illegals and dead voters to elect him.
I’m pretty sure Obama knows his goose is cooked. That’s why he ignores our laws and will be a dictator for the time he has left.
Oh, c'mon now, think real hard...think....I...R....
I don’t see how that would help either. After fouling up Afghanistan as badly as he has, now he drags us into another war while he simultaneously drastically cuts funding and support for the military?
Nope, Iran’s a loser for him, too.
Wow! Didn’t realize how many times I used “we”. But, when I say “we” I mean those of us who want the Kenyan, Marxist, Muslim out of the White House.
Definitely. I had friends in Chicago who voted Republican their entire life. When they died, they started voting Democrat.
And, who does your “gut” tell you will be the winner?
Ref. your Post #47: One of my sons has said the exact, same thing.
Wrong.
ALL presidents get a popularity/support bump after military action against a perceived threat.
It may not be a great bump, but supposedly little, if any, is needed.
Dang skeama; I sure hope you are right.
Thanks.
