Co-worker of mine was telling me last night that he felt Obama couldn’t win—the electoral votes he got from certain states won’t be there this time. I said I hope he’s right though I wonder if people who don’t agree with whom the GOP nominee is, stay home, vote third party, etc. Yes you can be ideologically pure and not vote for a “RINO”. And get four more years of Obama.
—2000: AlGore misses out, barely...had he won his home state of Tenn. it would have put him over the top. The focus was on Florida but what can you say about a guy who can’t win his home state? President Gore...imagine.
—2004: Thank you Ohio. Rush played “My City was Gone”
by the Pretenders, aka his theme song (written about
Chrissie Hynde’s hometown of Akron). “Uh-ha-hey ho,
way to go, Ohio” President Kerry...imagine.
What if Obama can’t win states like PA or OH this time
around?
But yeah, just stay home, let the RINO Gingrich or the
RINO Romney lose and enjoy four more years of the Messiah.
Vote fraud will indeed be rampant. Illegals.
No matter who gets the nomination, if conservatives/
Republicans stay home, we get Obama again. Though maybe independents will make a difference (Keep in mind
btw that many independents get to vote in GOP primaries.
They can hand the nomination to a McCain or a Romney or
a Gingrich. They also could vote for the GOP in the final
election. The independents went Dem in ‘08. This time...?
"Anyone But Obama" is the lesson, here.
I don’t think Obama can take PA this time, he did win last time, and I admit blowing it, saying he would lose, but I did not anticipate how many people would stay home. Had voting levels across the state been the same as they had been in 2004, McCain would have won the state.
What that tells me is that 2008 was a protest against BUSH, and a boring Republican Nominee, not an endorcement of Obama, at least in PA. Since then, the state has voted in a Republican Governor, and both houses are Republican... The Marcellous Shale has provided decent jobs so PA isn’t being hit as bad as other parts of the country with jobs, but it still ain’t pretty.
Obama’s hope and change has been shown to be smoke and mirrors, and I don’t think you are going to see PA voters stay home, or show up and vote for Romper Room. You also don’t have a corrupt democrat governor out shilling for him this time either.
I think Obama winning PA would be a major upset this year, but of course that depends on the candidate the R’s put up. I think both Newt and Romney will be able to fair well here, anyone else, no way.. Santorum?? Forget it about it you can write PA off if he is the nominee.
