I’ve been trying to explain this to folks HERE and other places for a long time now...

As much as Romney sucks as a conservative candidate, and with all his faults, the election is, was and always will be HIS TO LOSE...

WHY? Simple, this election has NOTHING to with the Republican Candidate, this election is a referendum on OBAMA... just like hte 2008 election was like it or not a referendum on BUSH. Just like 2004 was a referendum on BUSh and 2000 was a referendum on Clinton, etc etc etc...

That’s reality folks the Presidential election, is almost ALWAYS a referendum on the person or party who LAST held the office, period. IF its an incumbent election, its a pure referendum on the incumbent.. if its a non incumbent election its a referendum on the party is currently in the white house. That is why Bush Sr won in 1988, but lost in 1992! In 1998 he won as a referendum on Reagan, in 1992, he lost in a referendum on his term.

Does the MSM play favorites, and attempt to manipulate etc etc etc... of course they do, but end of the day presidential elections are simple referendums of the party in POWER. And OBama is going to lose his referendum in a landslide... its not even going to be close folks.

Every single indicator in every single poll I have seen all year, shows that people are going to throw this guy out with prejudice. The biggest challenge to the Republicans this election cycle was ensuring they didn’t put up someone as the candidate who could be painted as scarier than OBama to the typical swing voter, and while you and I may not be crazy about Romney for many many reasons, there is one thing that cannot be denied. There is no way you can paint Romney as unacceptable to the typical swing voter, let alone scarier than another 4 years of Obama.

Obama has ZERO chance of winning this election, in fact he has a popular vote max prior to the supreme court ruling of maybe 42-43%, and that was if he ran a perfect campaign, and his campaign has been like his presidency, absolute romper room. For anyone who enjoys the study of politics and elections, this guys campaign is in a shambles.. sure the MSM is attempting to prop it up, but its a joke. Here you have a sitting president who is going to have the distinction of being the ONLY president in the modern era to end his term with fewer people employed than the day he took office, and what’s he trying ot attack his opponent with? His opponents job record.. REALLY? If you are Obama, the last thing you should be talking about is Job Creation, because your 4 years have created negative net jobs!!! First time ever...

Now with the obamacare thing, I don’t think he can even hit 40% if he does everything perfectly.

Look at the numbers folks, this guy is out BEGGING for money 24/7, and his donors are gone, he’s throwing congressional democrats under the bus and told them, you ain’t getting a dime.. Local politicians are running from him, they know what the MSM doesn’t want to admit, he’s a dead weight.. He’s dragging his party down. THe one thing Dems had hoped for was that folks would focus on OBama and not vent their wrath on the entire party, but the Obamacare decision has just reignited the grass roots and will take the rejection of Obama down the ticket even more than it would have been otherwise... and it was going to be bad even had Obamacare been thrown out.

Obama hasn’t polled over the mid 40s since 6 months into his presidency, and he’s not going to bring that much to the ballot box.

By October anyone who is serious, and not just a partisan hack is going to be talking about WILL the republicans get 60 seats in the senate or not, no one but the most ardent partisan pundit will even be pretending that Obama has a prayer for re-election.

Fight hard, stay positive, don’t get complacent, but the very idea this fool can win re-election is laughable on its face.

Your right and apparently he does not want to win. If he did he would go to give conservative an hour at our events and promise us, just like he does everyone else, he will truly be pro-life & traditional family. Why can’t he do this I wonder? Maybe because the media will report he made a promise to log cabin republican already and they will call him a flip-flopper again.
