Romney Will Lose If He Continues To Play It Safe

If you only listen to Fox News and Rush Limbaugh you believe Romney is winning. He's not, he's losing. Both Real Clear Politics and Intrade have Obama with 281 electoral votes with 11 days til the election. You only need 270 to win. Intrade predicted every state correctly in 2004 and had two states reversed in 2008.

Move your cursor over each state "click here" to see the candidates chance of winning. Notice Virginia has moved back toward Obama and has more chance of going for Obama than Ohio does of going for Romney. There have been a lot of one-off polls showing Pennsylvania and Michigan in play, however Intrade shows otherwise. Colorado is a toss up and currently leans Obama. Iowa and New Hampshire are trending Obama, while Wisconsin and Nevada are currently dark blue.

This is a far different picture from the one being painted by Sean Hannity, Dick Morris and Karl Rove. So then why is Romney pulling his punches on Benghazi? It's becoming clearer every day Obama refused to send in a rescue mission because he's haunted by the Jimmy Carter failed rescue attempt back in 1980.

I believe the Benghazi scandal has the potential of becoming one of the biggest in U.S. history. So again, why is Romney sitting with his arms folded? Because he's just as risk averse as Obama. He's terrified the media will again accuse him of politicizing the death of these four men. What, and Obama is not playing politics by withholding virtually all information, for nearly two months, until after the election?

Forget about the politics for a moment, only Romney has a megaphone large enough to force the media to get off their butts. The families deserve the truth and the American people deserve the truth. Once the truth comes out, the political consequences for Obama will be well deserved. If people knew Obama did nothing for seven hours while four of our men were being murdered, the election would be over. The problem is most people don't know. Now imagine how you'll feel on Nov. 7th if Romney loses because he played it safe by letting Obama off the hook on Benghazi.

Romney has promised to repeal Obamacare.

Romney said he is PROUD of Romneycare. He will greatly expand it. By 2016, small businesses as we know it will be on there way to extinction. If you are employed by a small business, start pursuing other options now.

[Vendome]

Look, you’re not getting the message.

We are asking you refrain from your Not Romney crap until Nov 7.

He’s the guy we got.

You ain’t telling anyone of us anything we don’t already know about the guy.

If you are a Gary Johnson guy fine but, promote him so we can ridicule you.

Romney is our place holder til we can find his replacement. Unless he actually does what we want. Doubtful.

Besides, if your intention is to influence us you are about a year late. We’ve done nothing but carp about the guy for 7 years.

So give it a rest for a week.

[Randy Larsen]

Pure BS!

[nickcarraway]

I’m not telling anyone not to vote for Romney. (And Romney will win, not matter what). I’m just saying that on the morning of November 7th, the Romney administration will have one objective: to blow conservatives of the face of the earth. He has no bone to pick with the left, but he does with the right. He’ll probably focus first on expanding Obamacare or legalizing samesex marriage nationwide. Too many people on Free Republic are all rainbows and daisies and they think he’s a great thing. And maybe, since a lot of them seem to embrace Romneyism/socialism now, they are right. But to anyone who actually still embraces conservatism. It’s going to be ugly. And there are no allies. There could be more changes in the next 4 years than any period in U.S. history. in 2008 Romney pretended to be conservative. He didn’t this time. He has a lot of animosity towards conservatives, and now he has the werewithal to destroy his enemies. Should be interesting, but not fun, to watch.

Because it was ruled a tax, it can be repealed by a majority not 60 votes.

That was just for the purpose of the ruling. Now, no one, even Roberts would dare call it a tax. They will never get 60 votes to repeal.

[Lazamataz]

Please accept my heartfelt apology for being a real jerk. I now realize that as an accused troll and a plebe here on FR it’s my responsibility to conform to the wishes and group think of the upper class Freepers. Again, it’s hard for me to put into words just how sorry I am.

Hey, it's no skin off MY nose if you piss off everyone on Free Republic! It's no skin off MY nose if, in the arena of politics, where I hear being likeable has a *small* advantage, that your snarky nature has put everyone off you! LOL!

I've seen a thousand like you before. They last for a brief period, and then Admin Mod lowers the boom.

Cheers! :)

Intrade

Intrade???!?

SERIOUSLY??!?!

And you don't want to be mocked. LOL!!!!

When I implore Romney to go on the attack over Benghazi and stop playing it safe - once again, denigrating Romney.

Oh, well, let's get Mitt on the phone! He can stop making his own strategy or relying on HIS strategists. I mean, shoot, all they did was turn a +3 Obama average advantage, nationally, to a +3 Romney advantage. What LOSERS! I mean, *obviously* he should dump THOSE guys, all of them, and listen to some lame, snarky, a-hole anonymous guy on Free Republic (however temporarily -- LOL!) who runs a poorly-written blog such that cannot even attract a reasonable readership! I mean, WHAT IS MITT THINKING! He could have YOU!!!!

LOL (at you, Sparky -- not with you!) :) :) :)

[Lazamataz]

Guilty as charged. I am willing to turn myself in. Just tell me where to report.

Democrat Underground is looking for a few good members. LOL!

[M Kehoe]

Good evening.

They will never get 60 votes to repeal.

I believe the Senate passed 0bamacare on 12/24/2009 through the budget reconciliation process 51/49. If the Pubbies own the Senate on 1/22/2013, it will take 51 votes to repeal the monstrosity through the budget reconciliation process.

Yeah, don’t post anything that shows Romney may lose the race. Some Freepers prefer to ignore bad facts and blindly believe myth, until the morning after the election when we wake up to find our candidates have lost...

I, however, prefer to know the truth and do NOT think telling the truth about bad news is being a troll.

[TheOldLady]

Stop making me like you. At once!

[CaptainK]

He was correct in 2008 because the Obama people gave him their very expensive, very detailed, not released to the public, internal polls. That little nugget of information just came to light a few weeks ago. I could have been that right if they had been given to me. His 2010 predictions regarding the House race weren't as accurate without that little tool. He was off by 10 seats, while Charlie Cook and Mark Halprin got it right

I appreciate your wanting to be informed but, the troll is informed and creating synthetic hypotheses that are stoopit for its effort.

I will hand him for never being dissuaded on Romney’s character but, bottom line, we need to show the Kenyan world traveler the door.

Romoney is our place holder til we find a more suitable replacement and fund him/her with FU money.

 Not everyone. Did you read what TheOldLady wrote?

She's slipping Laz, you better straighten her out quick. Once you go “not romney” you never go back

I've seen a thousand like you before. They last for a brief period, and then Admin Mod lowers the boom. Cheers! :)

All the more reason to live for today, we have to cherish every moment. No telling when the admin mod will lower the boom. But even when he does, we'll still be able to remember the good times.

Intrade Intrade???!? SERIOUSLY??!?!”

No c'mon, Intrade was just a joke. Obama with 281 ec votes, yeah right!. However Real Clear Politics shows Obama with 290 ec votes, so we better take that seriously. Then again I don't want to be presumptuous. How about this, you decide what we should take seriously and then you can ping us.

And you don't want to be mocked. LOL!!!!

I never said I don't want to be mocked. I think it's fun mocking overly sensitive people.

Oh, well, let's get Mitt on the phone! He can stop making his own strategy or relying on HIS strategists. I mean, shoot, all they did was turn a +3 Obama average advantage, nationally, to a +3 Romney advantage. What LOSERS!

Laz did you forget the rules? Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts

“some lame, snarky, a-hole anonymous guy” Some might take this as a personal attack. Now I'm sure the judges would let it go because you said a-hole and not asshole, but if you had said asshole you would certainly have received a timeout.

I see getting some people to take off the rose colored glasses is going to be harder than I thought. Yes mitt's up 3 if you cherry pick the polls and only quote the favorable ones. If you look at the electoral college he's losing, and losing big. I don't hold the Romney campaign in such high regard as you do. Eric Ferhnstrom the author of etch-a-sketch. Andrea Saul: “If she lived in Massachusetts she would have been covered” But I guess more than anything it's because with 10 days til the election we're still hoping and praying that the stars align and Romney is able to beat the worst president in American history.

[nickcarraway]

What makes you think that even if there were 60 Republican Senators, they would repeal the healthcare bill? The GOP has no intention of repealing it, and won’t even if they had the power.

[wardaddy]

Demographics far different than then my buddy

It was a different America

norman rockwell

Now its the Georges

lopez and jefferson

[wardaddy]

Its very academic really

A few things

Win the pacifist good works deaf to Rome Catholic white vote belt from Iowa to Pennsylvania and most of all Ohio

Or win Wisconsin and sweep Dixie and Colorado and New Hampshire ....maybe Nevada too

Win 60% of the white vote.....imperative

It can be done but right now it looks like a toss up electoral vote wise

Hat tip Barone

I will never figure why he bitched up last debate.....brilliance not

The map you link is without any toss up states. They put every toss up in the Kenyan column even while showing right under the map that Romney is leading in some of those states.

Actual RCP shows EV 201/191 and Romney leading in the National vote.

I wouldn’t take that map seriously. Also, just look at the campaigns. Romney is cool, calm and on message. The Kenyan is running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off.

No they don't. They show Colorado moving from Romney to Obama  on 10/26. They show New Hampshire moving from Romney to Obama on 10/22. The column on the far right is popular vote.  If Romney is enjoying this great momentum surge, then how is Obama gaining in the electoral college vote? The answer is that Romney no longer has the momentum.

I wouldn’t take that map seriously. Also, just look at the campaigns. Romney is cool, calm and on message. The Kenyan is running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off.

Intrade is wrong and Real Clear Politics is wrong.  At some point we have to start taking real numbers seriously or on Nov.7th we're going to wake up saying, what the hell just happened?

Agree about Romney, especially after his remark about partisanship and working with the Demonrats across the aisle.

His presidency will be a nightmare, but as Churchill said, it’s better than the alternative, which is complete destruction of everything our founding fathers gave us.
