Especially pray.. Pray for an implosion by Obama.. pray for the largest turnout in America`s history. If we get unprecedented turnout, we have a chance to unseat that malevolence in the White House.
Iowa is a lost cause.All most all my old friends back there love Obama and hate republicans with a passion from what I see on their postings from Facebook.It’s become the California of the midwest.

I disagree. Iowa is the most winnable of them all quite simply because it is the whitest.
First of all, when did Pennsylvania become a swing state? That’s news to me. Also, I alluded to this on another post. The debates are coming and that will change everything, one way or the other. I don’t get too excited or depressed over the polling data at this stage of the game. The debates are the tell-all.
Let me say one thing about the debates that is certain:
If there’s no knock-out by Romney, or Obama doesn’t totally screw up, then the press WILL declare Obama the winner. They’ll fawn all over him, his speaking prowess, his “intelligence” and all get tingles up their collective legs.
So let’s not count on the debates to change anything. Romney needs to spend the next (less than) 2 months on fire!
Absolutely agree. I have been following politics for 20 years and I have yet to see a republican “win” a debate at any level of government.
I didn’t even bother reading it.
Pure unadulterated crap.
If you look at them carefully one sees that Romney's chances are very good. Polls and past election trends would give Obama Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan and New Hampshire. The same trends would give Romney North Carolina and Colorado. That gives Obama a 247 to 215 advantage.
I don't see Obama taking Florida, I just don't. The fact that the polls are as close as they are this late with all the Democrat attempts to hang Mediscare on the GOP really makes me think that at the end of the day the state will wind up in the Romney camp. That gives him 244, three votes behind Obama.
Iowa is a wild card but again I think it'll go for Romney. Even though he's from next door, I think Obama has done enough to alienate the generally moderate-to-conservative Iowa voters enough to send it into the Romney camp. 250 to 247.
Wisconsin. Most pundits give this to Obama but the overlook the fact that the Democratic margins of victory have been shrinking steadily. 2008 aside, the Democrats took the state in 2004 and 2000 by about half a percentage point. 1992 and 1996 were aided by Perot. With Ryan on the ticket I think that this is a GOP win. Maybe narrow but still a win.
That leaves Ohio and Virginia. Everyone is saying that Romney can't win without Ohio, but look at the map and you see that Virginia is actually the more important of the two, and the more winnable. If what I predict pans out then winning Virginia gives Romney 273 electoral votes and the win. Virginia went Democrat in 2008 for the first time since 1964. I see 2008 and an aberration rather than an trend, and I think the state is very winnable. And if Romney takes Virginia the Ohio doesn't matter. It's icing on the cake, but even without it Romney is in the White House.
Do people still consider the Weakly Standard “conservative”? Come on now.
Just because they run ads on Fox News does not make them “conservative”
Bull Stit??
God help us.
OMFG.. are you serious? The Weekly Standard working for Obama? Freepers better get their heads out of their butts.
