Did any of them say WHY they would vote for Obama? I just don’t get it.

The fact that 4 media types said they would not is encouraging. The other 6 are lying to save face.

You are serious???

10 people who have enough time on their hands to show up for this, that you have NO idea of their background, circumstance etc and you’re worried that they went 6-4 for Obama.

Brother I got some land down in Florida I’d like to visit with you about.

That's why I've maintained, and will still maintain that Obama is going to be extremely difficult to beat, regardless of which GOPer goes forward. Poll after poll shows Americans still... after some 945 days into Obama's administration.. blame Bush for the weak economy. And it's the economy upon which they'll base their vote next year. Obama doesn't have to actually find solutions to problems; he only needs to appear to be "trying" to do so.

One dynamic at work that many of us overlook, is though people disapprove of the job Obama is doing, voters still like him personally. There's something about his countenance they simply find appealing.

I still believe it's going to take not only a superb selling job by the GOP nominee, but a major -- and timely -- scandal to bring Obama down enough to be defeated in 2012. Otherwise, the economy is the "it" thing, and voters still seem reticent to give the Republicans another go in the White House.

I question the sample of “all different beliefs” in that show.

“43% is crazy! Who in the hell?”

No, NOT “crazy” at all.

The nation is very divided and it’s getting worse. The national cohort of “takers” is growing in size, while that cohort of “producers” is relatively stagnant, even in decline in places.

Remember that 43% is lower than the 47% figure representing the percentage of Americans who don’t even pay taxes any more.

If anything, we can expect Obama’s numbers to _increase_ as the election nears.

Even with the best candidate that the Republicans can offer, I predict the margin of victory in 2012 (popular vote) will be no more than a few percentage points — say, a 52%-48% final tally. Again, this is because of deep divisions in the American psyche, and also reflects the changing demographics of the nation. The “America” that elected Ron Reagan in 1980 _doesn’t exist any more_. A large number of the voters who voted for him have died off.

Even Sarah Palin isn’t going to change this (and she is my #1 choice). It’s going to be a hard, hard fight.

Just sayin’....

17% are supposedly undecided or for someone else. That would be “independents” (i.e. idiots who aren’t paying attention 95% of the time). Obama has lost a huge portion of independents.
