If the GOP nominates a RINO they lose.

If the Left manages to sabotage the Republican primaries by massive cross voting and we get the Romney for Republican nominee then it doesn't much matter how low the kenyans's approval rating goes. He will win again, whichever is elected President.

Sure he can.

It just means that many more votes the DemocRATS need to steal and intimate away from their opponents.

How is it above 40% now?? Really who would support that pathological LIAR, besides people that are worse?

At this point a can of rancid sardines can beat Obama.

Remember something, this election isn’t just about Obama. Palin did something everyone seen but no one quite understands, Palin put the MSM in the spotlight. She exposed their bias.

If the MSM tries to steal the election like in 2000 and 2004, people are going to demand their heads. And that is what we need to focus on.

Just like the Longest Yard, Pop the ref in the nads a couple of times, he’ll call a fair game.

He owns the LMSM. If it's true that a new obama supporter is born every minute he can be reelected.

It depends on which polls are used to define the Obama presidency.

If the polls only queiry liberal-Democratic strongholds and their opinions Obama looks like the next savior, and is re-elected easily. On the other hand if the polls only queiry conservative-Republican strongholds Obama apears a socialist usurper, and loses in what accounts for a landslide.

Its the middle where the fight occurs. It always was and always will be.

We can not hope to say conservatives are on the side of the middle. We can only hope that we can provide leadership and a sharp distinction to the middle.

After he's gone, they (the 40 to 45% that approve Obama's policies) will still be here.

And they will be a major hinderance to any Republican administration.

It’s possible. Dead people don’t respond to polls, but they have been known to vote.

Jack Acidly weighs in.

He’s hoping for a bounce from the anti-war left (mostly) in the polls but those people are going to vote for Obama anyway so, while it may move some of his numbers, it won’t largely help his re-election chances.

But also keep in mind the presidency is 51 elections, not one so raw percentages are meaningless until you break them down state by state. Way too early to focus on that yet.

The 45% is on;y in the first 50 states. In the other seven he is tail over heels at 87% don’tchaknow.

From the article: “No one in that lackluster field...”

Granted. The Republican field isn’t as strong as I’d like, but compared to President Obama and his neo-Marxist administration, I’d crawl over broken glass to elect any one of the current crop of Republicans, including Romney. As bad as Romney is, he’s no anti-American Marxist. This is about national survival, not a stupid popularity contest.

If necessary Obama will give all illegals citizenship and immediate welfare with an executive order. 100 million more votes right there.

He also may get each and every welfare recipient to go and actually vote with his new motto “If you don’t vote for me you won’t get your free stuff!”

That 100 million number can't be right, although I agree with you in principle.

Candidates have proven they can buy a vote with a pack of cigarettes.
