Just because the MSM doesn't report it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Wrong.

Zero is an utter and abject failure. You know that. I know that. Most of the folks on this forum know that.

Why?

Because we get our news from the internet.

The vast "mushy middle" out there in America doesn't know that.

Why?

Because they get their news from ABCCBSNBCCNNetc. The MSM. You know ... those folks who "don't report it". And if the MSM doesn't report it, and the mushy middle doesn't know it, it might as well not exist.

Our job, and the job of the Republican candidates, is obvious: bypass the MSM.

One word....TOOL.

I've been following Lichtman's key-based "predictions" for 20 or so years now. The guy's just an attention whore who never fails to predict an election because only he determines what his "keys" really mean and when they mean it.

He's revised his predictions at the 11th hour before - 1992 when he was originally saying that Bush41 would win reelection. I think (need to go back and look over his past predictions) there were a couple elections where he made the wrong prediction, then said afterwards that it was his interpretation of the "keys" that was wrong ... not the keys themselves.

All it would take is someone to create a third party, and
split the GOP base.

If we are going to re-elect the socialist-in-chief again then leaving the US is a good idea. If I have to live in a socialist country I might as well live where they do it “right”, Europe. Southern europe good weather, hot women and a premier socialist system. /sarc

NO scandals???? Is this guy been living under a rock??????

No scandals the state-run media have reported, that is.

That's ok, let him live in blissful ignorance. The other rock dwellers are slowly becoming aware.

[sam_paine]

I don’t know ... I just want to rock and roll all night... and Perry every day.

Yeow!

[Eddie01]

Yes. E17 it turns out.

[Eddie01]

Reminds me of Trafficant... not sure why? lol

1. No contested primary--not yet, though 25% of Democrats favor one.

2. Incumbency

3. No third-party candidate

4. Major domestic-policy changes in his first term--drastic, economy-killing ones, killed drilling, gave money to Brazil for drilling, destroying energy industry, setting up the destruction of the health care industry through Obamacare, not a plus.

5. No social unrest--Tea Party and the slaughter of the midterms in both national and state elections.

6. No major scandals--several times 8 years of Bush deficits in 3 years, ripped off creditors by given car companies to unions, shoveled giant craploads of money to foreign banks, waivers from Obamacare for special buds, killing NASA?

7. No major foreign-policy failures--got the Seal Team 6 killed, lost Egypt, got involved in Libya, has Europe with the attitude toward him of "piss up a rope, Barry."

8. Major foreign-policy achievements in his first term (killing Bin Laden)--done in spite of him with him cut out of the loop.

9. Little charisma by his likely opponent--even less charisma from Obama, linguistic stumble-bum without TOTUS.

[GSWarrior]

Big whoop. I bet I could find 50 people on the street at random in 30 minutes who have correctly “called” each election since 1984.

[Astronaut]

This is a liberal masturbatory fantasy. No social unrest? Foreign policy disasters? Come on. No one can take this crap seriously.

If we nominate a conservative, the Muslim Marxist goes back to Kenya in January, 2013.

Personal favorite post of the day. Sorry, doesn’t matter much, but inspirational.

‘NO scandals???? Is this guy been living under a rock??????’

Read about the sordid life and family of Obama:

I think some of his democratic/Obama keys are toss-ups possibly even in favor of a Republican i.e. 4,5,7,9.

[Eddie01]

Where is a nice place? I’m thinking national forrest.

[Twinkie]

WHERE else will you go? If America goes down, which seems to be Obama’s aim, where else is there to go that you can depend much on?

[Starboard]

No American president since FDR has won a second term when unemployment was above 7.2 percent. Obama is in serious trouble.

[Redmen4ever]

Few of the keys are objective, most are subjective or situational. The economic keys are culturally-sensitive.

But, is killing bin Ladin a major accomplishment? And Afghanistan and Libya aren’t blunders, why? Because the media doesn’t cover them? These keys can turn around, once the election gets underway and people start focusing on what was and is going on. Obama isn’t challenged within his party, is this because he is riding high in the polls, or is this because of white guilt? As for the third party, it’s the Tea Party and it’s taking over the less evil major party.
