Big time..."independents" are uninterested in his fake smile this time around.
2. His war on women has backfired and he will not get the women’s vote.
I disagree. Single women will vote en masse for this idiot...he is a sugar daddy for many of them.
3. Back in 2008, there were around 10% republicans who voted for O, probably of guilt and to show their liberal friends they weren’t racist. That will not happen this time around.
Absolutely....at least this is true: more Democrats will vote Republican than vice-versa.
4. I think the youth vote is up for grabs. The youth voted for O in 2008 but with unemployment in this age group so high, they will be cool to him in ‘12. Lets assume he wins this group.
I agree...Rush Limbaugh just noted a study that younger voters are moving faster toward the Republican party...Obama is the William Hung of politics:
He was amusing, made you feel good and was so self assured...but got old REAL REAL quick.
5. O will win the black vote.
Huge. They are in the tank, sadly.
6. No enthusiasm. In 2008, there was A LOT of enthusiasm for Obama and that drove a high turnout for him. Today, there is NO enthusiasm for him. Even if Obama wins the youth and black vote, there will be low turnout for him this time.
Enthusiasm is indeed weak...the national and local news media are soooo excited when this clown does something. Few others care.
7. He will win the union vote but that is a given for dem politicans. Actually, I have run into more and more union people who will not vote for him this time.
Yes, he'll win it...but not by as big a margin as last time.
8. Lastly, Obama has lost the the manufactured “magic”. When he travels and speaks, it is to smaller empty auditoriums. Can you imagine him on the campaign stump in August-October?? In 2008, he was drawing Tens of thousands. This time, he will draw only thousands in dem friendly areas. Remember that Biden got booed in a St. Pat’s parade in Pittsburgh when he got away from the beginning of the parade where the unions were.
Good point. Limbaugh pointed out Obama was in a 9,000 seat auditorium today--when the last time he campaigned there was a 22,000 seat auditorium. He is a yawning bore.
