The 2012 election is all about Barack Obama.

I don't agree on the 40 state sweep and don't consider it productive to speculate, but I do consider this a very strong year for the GOP as long as we stay motivated to go the the polls. I've said for two years (on FR and not just professionally) that this election will be an up or down vote on BO, and the GOP nominee is almost irrelevant in terms of the election outcome, so I'll agree that this is all about Obama. It's just a shame that Romney is leading for the nomination.

Having Romney as the candidate would be the best thing for Obama because it could suppress the conservative vote, which would affect not only the presidential election but also all the candidates down-ballot.

I think the people who are backing Romney are doing so because they believe he is “electable”. But if what you’re saying is true, Joe Blow from off the street is “electable”.

We need to fight to keep Romney from being the GOP candidate. What’s the difference between the feds coercing people into performing abortions against their will and a STATE coercing people into performing abortions against their will? It’s tyranny either way, and as long as our candidate is just as bad as Obama on Obamacare we’ve shot ourselves in the foot on an issue that resonates with 60-75% of the public.

Not likely, but not impossible either. At the moment Romney has 48% of registered voters. GOP traditionally better among likely, but we only have the numbers for registered. There is 8% undecided, and undecided break for the challenger 80/20. Even in years where the challenger gets creamed. So adding his 48% to the likely 6.4% from the undecided an you get 54.4%. In 1980 Reagan only got 50.75%. And that was a 44 state slaughter. The numbers are nearly identical to 1988, and that was also a 40 state pounding for the Dems.

I don't think the numbers will hold after Obama cuts lose on Romney. But to be honest can he say anything worse about Romney that we already have? I mean if he said Romney supported murdering babies most of the people on this forum would point out that they have been saying that for several years now. How much worse can Romney suck than he already does?

I agree with Ted Nugent.......It is so important that Zero is defeated, that if the R Candidate turns out to be Romney, we all do everything in our power to get him elected and bring this four year nightmare to an end!

I wanted Sarah Palin.....then one-by-one, several others, and none of them were Romney. But if it turns out to BE Romney, I’ll be @#%&! if I;m going to sit home and pout and suck my thumb because I didn’t get my way! Neither YOU, nor I, nor our formerly Blessed Country can withstand 4 more years of Marxism and unelected Czars!
