I just can’t imagine a scenario where Obama would win. He has lost so much of the Independent vote...the ones who came out for him last time...Students, etc...don’t see it. You’ll see it in the fundraising. But unless we destroy our nominee ourselves...well..you know. We have given the moderate Dems someone to vote for. I know you don’t like to hear it, but it’s the truth. So let’s help him win and then hold him accountable. Four more years of Obama is just too much to contemplate, especially for the Country.

Romney is winning not because he is a great candidate, but because the economy is in the toilet, the dems don’t want to acknowledge this, but people vote with their pocketbooks. If the economy keeps on tanking Romney is going to win the presidency.
But, the question is how will he govern if he wins? I think if his term will be very similar to George H.W. Bush, and I believe he will be a 1 term president. jmo.
I dig that Rasmussen is forcing Gallup to true their internals...
Is it too late for my cat to enter the race? The only problem might be there’s not a recorded bc and the father is unknown. Her platform would be to clean the RATS out of DC.
At least Romney is sniffing around Ryan's plan.
I cannot imagine a scenario where Romney could win.
By the time the Obama-Union-Teacher-Media campaign gets done with Romney he won’t win the independent vote and he won’t likely be picking up any conservative votes either.
I agree with the most of the posters above. I have not been a Romney booster but I have stated my plans for voting for him IF he’s the nominee (still voting Newt here in CA). I don’t think I am deluded about Romney being a conservative, I just think he is head and shoulders above Obama in many of the respects cited earlier on this thread.
But given JimRob’s post about what FR is and comments that are being made and etc., I have gotten the opinion that we aren’t to post such comments or we may get banned? Am I wrong?
I respect that this is JimRob’s site and he doesn’t want it made into a Romney-For-President board. That’s his perogative. But it makes me wonder, how are we supposed to tiptoe around the election? It’s the major things on the minds of FReepers for the next several months.
Shall I cheer if Obama’s ahead? Groan if Romney scores a debate point? Or are we all gathering behind a third party candidate?
I think the major meme right now is, for heaven’s sake, support Newt - and I am. I was before Santorum dropped out, even. But the odds are long. If Romney is indeed the (R) candidate, what are we to do? Stay silent? Root for the oppposition?
What are the majority of conservative voters and the majority of very conservative voters doing about this political race? Those are the numbers I’m paying the most attention to!
