I have said for a year that by Nov 2012 the GOP could run a corpse and win.

YES!!!

HARDING/COOLIDGE 2012 - a century later, they're still right!!!

[B.O. Plenty]

...I don’t think it’s going to be even close.

please everybody....what if it is close?...

...and worse, what happens if Obama wins??....

...I have been around for a long time, and if there is one thing that has been pointed out to me time after time is that NOTHING is a dead ass cinch except that God does not change and the sun always rises in the east.

If God abandons us completely in '12, there will be no living with Obama. If you think that he is an arrogant and insufferable lout now, you ain't seen nothing if he wins again...

...and honestly, I have a cynical view of the "one man one vote" tradition that the US has adopted over the last 150 or so years.

Everybody here knows that we are currently blessed with a welfare population of "fellow Americans", about 50% of which pay no income tax at all....and indeed, most get a check because they are so "poor". There are millions and millions of these people who refuse to work, whose vote count the same as those of us who work....and WILL use their vote every time for the politician who promises them the most stuff.

...no, friends, Obama demise is not a done deal..

...all people who think that FREEDOM is more than nobody stopping them from going to the clubs, or sitting on their ass watching Opra, or maybe going fishing in the local lake.....

...had better not fail to go vote in Nov '12 and vote for anyone except obama. Everybody who thinks Obama needs replaced and does not go vote for one reason or other....is a vote for Obama....you can bet that the welfare class will be out en masse....

As for me and my family...the only thing that could keep me from voting against Obama is that I am in the middle of a heart attack or stroke....

"Yes, I am a cynical old SOB"

I think you are an observant old SOB. I am just an old SOB.

[hinckley buzzard]

You are right. Obama can turn on a dime to loosen up the energy problem and goose the economy, and the people at large have short memories. He can hold off the draconian measures designed to strangle the coal industry until after the election. The worst parts of obamacare don't kick in until after the election. He doesn't have to go to war against Israel now, he can wait till after the next election.

I hope whoever is our candidate is not assuming the status quo because obama can pull that rug out from under them at any time.

[Marty62]

Nothing is guaranteed.

But this election has the same “feeling” of the Carter trouncing.

The only way we lose this election is if we defeat OURSELVES.

[HenpeckedCon]

You're probably right but the Gipper did win Massachusetts twice.

[Allegra]

While that may be true, we must NEVER EVER think that way.

I agree. Overconfidence is a killer.

We have to fight this evil and we also have to work to keep Romney from getting the nomination.

[Starboard]

“The downside: We’ll probably get Romney as President, who will then go on the destroy Conservative Republican prospects for the next 10 years.”

At least with Romney there would be another 10 years. ;)

Unfortunately, 18% of the electorate decides national elections, and those jackasses vote on the basis of the last person to hand them a pamphlet on their way into the grade school, or the last yard sign they see before going into the firehouse.

Sorry to be a downer, but the "moderates" can completely change their minds in the last 72 hours before an election. You can count on only one thing when it comes to the non-ideological "folks" that Ted Baxter loves so much: they're badly informed, and they're stupid.

[erlayman]

He’ll win against anyone who triggers a third party candidacy, which narrows the field considerably.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Me, too. I feel your pain. Every day.

[Hoodat]

With only Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and New Hampshire, the GOP candidate wins. That’s all it will take.

[Hoodat]

My vote for that goes to Cain, simply because the Dems won’t be able to play the race card

Think again. The Dems are already playing the race card. That doesn't stop me from supporting Cain, though.

[BobL]

“Think again. The Dems are already playing the race card. That doesn’t stop me from supporting Cain, though.”

Except it cannot stick...given Cain’s background. Of course the Dems have to try anything and everything...they have no choice.

[andy58-in-nh]

Whatever you guys are smoking, I’d love to have some. As of now, the only Republican who beats Obama is “Generic”. Sorry to burst your bubble.

[Liberty Wins]

"Unfortunately, 18% of the electorate decides national elections, and those jackasses vote on the basis of the last person to hand them a pamphlet on their way into the grade school, or the last yard sign they see before going into the firehouse."

Agreed. However, there will be more people voting this time who sat on their hands during the discouraging John McCain debacle.

Fear the third party candidate. Soros and the rest of the big money left wing will try to energize an ego-driven RINO (like Jon Huntsman (or even The Donald) to try for it.

[thecodont]

Good. But let’s not get complacent.

[ArmyTeach]

... had better not fail to go vote in Nov '12 and vote for anyone except obamIa ... I've already decided, taken my stand. I will vote in November, and I will vote Republican. Any of the Republican hopefuls will be a salvation after Obummer.

[freedomtrail]

Sadly,I do to.
