Saying it doesn't make it so.

“If my model’s right, it couldn’t look better for Obama,”

This phrase belongs among "Famous Last Words."

What a Maroon

And the NYT will make a profit next year.

Saying it doesn’t make it so.

No kidding. Just ask bagdad bob or nancy pelosi.

Prof. Fair has a good track record. We should be careful against wishful thinking of an Obama defeat at the hands of a GOP opponent. Even now, with unemployment in double digits, his approval ratings are over 40%. With even a slight uptick by 2012, he will clear 50%. A landslide is not out of the question if the economy improves.

Yes monetizing the debt thereby causing hyper inflation and doing away with the Bush tax cuts will certainly ensure a very robust economy in the next 2 years/SARC

[TNCMAXQ]

As I recall Fair has been wrong a few times, most notably in 2004 when he said Bush would win by a large margin thanks to the good economy!

In any case if 0bama wins again but Republicans take the Senate, and keep a majority in the House, it might not be the worst thing. It clears the way for Marco Rubio to get elected in 2016.

Sadly, you’re right. With just a bit of an upturn in umemployment, he can claim what a great job he’s doing. Combine that with the sheeple’s very, very short memory and

can’t bring myself to finish the “and”

“....an expert on econometrics and on the relationship of economics and politics....”

Hmmmmmmm.....is “econometrics” progressive-speech for FAIL?

LOOKOUT 2012!!!

Let’s just hope the bank run in France on December 7th they’re building over there doesn’t put a speedbump in front of the “brilliant” gay-guy in the People’s House, or the oh-so-smart Yale guy. Gay-guy and his puppet-master soros might look bad.

[presently no screen name]

We have the The New York Times' Business Day reporting that Mr. Obama is likely to win the 2012 election in a landslide.

ROFLMAO!!

TNYT now has a comic section.

[presently no screen name]

Yeah, those polls proved what on election day 2012? Landslide for the ‘rats?

[Michael Barnes]

Next Friday will tell all.

the bank run in France on December 7th

What's that about?

[Perdogg]

0bama overpolled in 2008 and continues to do so. You cannot really poll in the 40s and lose 64 House races. Eventhough he is technically in the 40s his poll support comes from guilty whites and blacks, who at this point, are not going to make up the defections of white males and independents if the election were held today.

However, 0bama does have a very good shot of being reelected.

You doo not need an Ivy League education to know that incumbent Presidents rarely lose, only 5 times last century (GHW Bush, Carter, Ford, Hoover, and Taft). I think Gov Chris Christie would blow 0bama out.

Two weeks ago, Democrats got the biggest midterm beatdown since 1948.

This week, they talking about how much ass they’re gonna kick in two years.

Okay.

article is from Huffington post, headline read:

“Early Voting Shows Surprising Turnout For Democrats”

[Hoodat]

While updating his 2002 book, “Predicting Presidential Elections and Other Things,” he has calculated his first prediction for the next national election and posted it on his Yale Web site. He says the likely outcome is an Obama victory, regardless of whom he runs against. “If my model’s right, it couldn’t look better for Obama,” he said....

His model does not include all the mandates that Obama will order over the next two years that will destroy the economy even more. Did the good professor include the tax increases that will be implemented on January 1? Taxes for individuals in the lowest bracket will increase by 50%. And they'll be voting for Obama? Yeah, right.

Gee, no bias there.

September 2011: Recovery Fall, where the only thing that’s gonna fall is our unemployment rate! Woohoo!!!
December 2011: Santa’s bringing the Recovery, baby! Aw yeah!!
