GO SANTORUM, GO
And time for Gingrich to GO home.

I don’t care how many dead people and illegals O’Bama turns out, if Santorum is winning independents by that huge of a margin Obama can not beat Santorum in the swing states. Period.

I’m not a great RS fan, but I’ll support him enthusiastically in the general.

Has anybody noticed that the second sentence conflicts with the first?

[DarthVader]

Obuggery will lose all of these four as he is hated in them.

Every once in a while Rush slips off the tracks and his discussion of the whole election resting on the votes of 45,000 people in North Carolina is ridiculous. I don't give a rat's rump what some fool egg head says or thinks. Obama will get smashed and everyone of those voters can line up and vote for him 5 times each and won't make a wit of difference.
A) Catholic Church battle
B) gas prices
C) sinking Democrat enthusiasm PLUS rising Republican enthusiasm.
D) Obamacare
E) Obama’s loss of credibility
F) Low Enthusiasm among Blacks and Hispanics will cause Democrats to pander like they never have before and chase White voters away.

G) Obama can't win Wisconsin or Indiana and is on his way to losing Pennsylvania
Apparently those that say this election will be close enough for NC to mean anything are just plain wrong.

North Carolina and Virginia used to be solidly conservative. I’m surprised Pennsylvania is no longer considered a swing state. This left-leaning state does go for Republicans, as it did in 2010.

So, for me, the premise here is wrong. Tell me about the following states:

Ohio
Pennsylvania
Florida
Missouri
Wisconsin
Colorado
New Mexico
North Carolina

Whoever gets the majority of the electoral votes of these states probably wins the election.

The libs are ramping up hit pieces like crazy now. The Huffington post is posting multiple ones daily, but let’s show them it’s not going to work! Go Rick!

[stevecmd]

That first sentence is a little misleading.
