This election reminds of 1980 when Carter actually led Reagan by a few points the majority of the year, then was blown away in a landslide. I see the same thing happening to the worthless paperhanging amateur currently occupying the White House.

Everyone in DC is on the “Bank of Washington” payroll.

Deep in the article, the author just has to mention that not all the DC residents are black; in fact, if you count government employees, politicians, contractors, etc., the ratio leaves black representation below 50%. The author neglects to differentiate between the day and night time where most of the non-black workers live outside DC (Maryland/Virginia, etc.) Eleanor Holmes Norton would not be the non voting Representative from the District of Columbia otherwise.

I really hope you’re right. America can’t survive another four years of Obama.

I’m more concerned about the projected electoral college count. Geographically, a really large number of states could go for Romney, but he will still lose if the big electoral college states go against him. Anybody know where I might find a chart or something on that?

Just shows you why no one in DC should be allowed to vote.

The following states are SURE to go Obama ( and maybe no more than that ) — NY, MA, DE, NJ, CT, Maine, VT, RI, HI, CA, Washington, Oregon, Illinois and finally, DC.

It is time to unemploy him, retire him, leave our inglorious leader in the ditch, and to move on!

Truth be told, Carter was never ahead. It was the DNCp doing what they do. You’ll never convince me that people all of a sudden woke up one morning and had an epiphany. People despised Carter. He was a limp wristed cardigan wearing milk toast, that actually had the sheer stupidity to sit there in the White House and tell us the glory days of the U. S. were over.

Were people better off today, than they were four years prior? No

The DNCp are at it again today. The results will be the same. The Pres—ent Resident is going down. Way down!

Are people better off today, than they were four years ago? No

Same result, a blow out...

Sadly, once again it will telegraph that the RNC can successfully get RINOs elected to office. And that’s just what they’ll do as long as they can.

To hell with our values.

“This election reminds of 1980 when Carter actually led Reagan by a few points the majority of the year, then was blown away in a landslide.”

Reagan blew Carter away because they finally debated a week before the election and Reagan destroyed Carter in it. At the end Reagan told voters to ask themselves if they were better off than four years ago and said if you weren’t, your choice for President should be obvious. It turned the whole thing around.

Carter may have won had he not debated Reagan. His pollster Pat Caldell said on the eve of the debate he had Carter up by 3, then 3 days later Carter was down by 10.

Reagan had the personality and communication skills necessary to turn that election around......Mitt Romney does not. If Romney wins, he will barely sneak by. But I fully expect similar results of 2008 with maybe a bit larger margin of victory of 0bama, 55% to 44% with 0bama winning all the same states as in 2008 and possibly adding Missouri and maybe even Georgia. The people are just to dependent on government assistance to let him go.

"The president is most popular in Washington DC, where his job approval rating is an astonishing 83 percent."

Unprecedented. Never saw that one coming. /s

DC is the right-sized geographical space for a community organizer to have influence.

Rhode Island 58 percent;

There absolutely no excuse for 58% of the people in Rhode Island to support Obama.

Oh wait.

Mitt does not have Reagan’s ability to speak past the media.

We will have to come up with anther solution to access the people with common sense.

Washington D.C. continues to be, profoundly, dominated by leftists, so where’s the surprise that BO gets high approval numbers there? Ditto, with, almost, all U.S. cities! Like I said many times before on FR: Conservatives and conservatism need to find successful and fool-proof ways of making political inroads within ALL U.S. cities, if U.S. conservatism is going to survive, for the long-term! Saying that it’s impossible helps the left, even more! The left is, already, moving towards abolishing the Electoral College, and, if the Electoral College vanishes, then it will, almost always, be the left in all U.S. cities who will get to determine who all future U.S. Presidents will end up being!
