Let’s just ask George Soros since he’s the one who is picking these guys and calling the win.

Watch Wisconsin implode on the unionthugLiberal camp.
They went after the Good Gov who want to save schools and local town from having to live under restrictive union rules, and the Big union power borkers went ballistic. So far, $1 billion or more was waved in wisconsin and hte union leaders can abide that. So they are going after Gov Walker.

Liberals twerps like this will have their heads explode when Gov Walker survives the odious union-driven recall election, and uses his victory to win the Senate seat - former Gov Tommmy Thompson will win over the lesbian liberal Baldwin ... AND deny 10 electoral votes ffrom Obama, giving Romney 10 more EVs to pad his november victory.

1. The democrat cheating today may be worse than the cheating in 2000/2004. They didn’t have a marxist administration going after photo id laws the states have decided they want to ensure the voter voting is who they claim to be. Voter integrity.

2. People were more jazzed to vote for Bush than Romney.

3. Wisconsin is in play, will most likely go heavy Republican.

Here’s how it breaks down.

In 2008. Obama won the electoral vote by 365 to 173. If he replecated that win this year, it would be 357 to 181, due to the census. What will change?

Obama won a single electoral vote from Nebraska. Romney will get that back easily. Also, Obama very narrowly won Indiana, but has become highly unpopular there. That would give Romney 192 electoral votes. Obama will try to win Arizona, claiming that McCain won it only due to home state loyalty. That’s 11 votes at stake. If Indiana and Arizona switch alleagance, that gives Obama a 358 to 180 edge.

The states where it will be won are the northeastern New England, industrial Midwest, the south-central Atlantic Coast, and the western Rocky Mountains.

Out West, Nevada, Arizona, & New Mexico are being eyed. Obama won New Mexico easily and few expect him to lose it again. Arizona is still leaning Republican, though it’s closer than in 2008. That leaves Nevada. Obama won comfortably there in 2008, but it voted narrowly for Bush twice. No state is in worse economic condition, but demographic changes in Las Vegas have helped Democrats.

Virginia and North Carolina bear watching. North Carolina very narrowly went for Obama and seems to be tilting slightly for Romney. Virginia went for Obama by a larger-than-expected margin. Government workers make up a growing share of the voters, but the rest of the state has soured on him. It could go either way.

That leaves the industrial Midwest and upper Midwest to watch, stretching from Pennsylvania to Minnesota and Iowa. That is where the election will likely be decided. The Upper Midwest (Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan) were considered safely Democrat. But aside from Michigan, Obama ran only slightly ahead of his national average and Bush almost won those states in both elections. Even Michigan has to be disillusioned with Obama, given its abysmal economy.

New Hampshire and Maine went comfortably for Obama, but swung heavily Republican in 2010. Bush won New Hampshire in 2000 and nearly won it again in 2004. Maine tilts more to the left, but has a strong independent streak. Romney has residual name I.D. locally and may run ahead of party lines there.

Now, the indistrial Midwest. With Illinois safely for Obama and Indiana safely for Romney, that means that Pennsylvania and Ohio are the two most important states this year.

As sickening as it sounds, the best thing that can happen to conservatives in 2012 is that Romney is narrowly defeated by Obama while both the Senate and House go solid Republican.

That's all we've got at this point. And I'm thinking that the best way to make that happen is to have serious conservative 3rd party contender who brings out conservatives in droves.

Where are you, Mrs. Palin....?

Romney’s chances are ‘off the cliff’ with me.

I will NEVER vote for him. I said that in 2008 and I’ve been saying that all over again.

He’s a lying p.o.s.

Why should they vote for Dem-Lite, when they can vote for the real thing?

Do this people seriously think there is a single state that Bush won in either election that Obama will win in 2012?

Romney’s floor is about 229 electoral votes. I guess he could lose Florida, Ohio, Colorado and Nevada. The Post is dreaming and trying to forget their nightmare of November 2010 if they think Obama will win North Carolina or Virginia this time around.

I suspect Romney wins every state Bush won either race. That is 296 EVs. Then I suspect he adds Wisconsin which was very close both Bush races and did not have voter ID like they do now. That would get him to 306. He well could win Pennsylvania that was as close as Oho in 2004. He could also win New Jersey, Michigan both of whom have elected GOP governors and Minnesota that regularly has elected Republicans to statewide office though the most recent Senate race was stolen. That would get him to 366.

Whether he could add to 366 by picking up any New England EVs not from New Hampshire or any West Coast EVs is not clear, but also not beyond the realm of possibility. Still I would think 366 might would be a good working ceiling for Romney. Obama on the other hand has in my view very few paths to victory.

The nation is finished with four more years of Obama. I don’t care about myself. I’ve had a fairly long, good, blessed life. My children and theirs, Lord willing they have children, will live the entirety of their lives in a nation robbed of most its liberties by Obama executive orders and federal court and Supreme Court appointees. They will live in a land where vigilante mobs can do as they please as long as they are on the side of the regime. They will live in a land with a weakened military and national security, making the land vulnerable to attack. Anyone who has a heart for at least one young person in this world must do whatever he/she can to run this communist thug out of office, even if Mr. Romney is not our ideal.

I find it rather entertaining that PA, WI and MI are often referred to as “swing” states. Where exactly is the “swing” in being bolted to the democrat column in every Presidential contest since 1988?

Romney cannot win, nor will Team Romney let
America win.

Romney destroyed Gov. Palin in 2008 for Obama
through surrogates - including Soros (Romney’s partner)

Now Romney destroyed EVERY SINGLE conservative
through surrogates.

NOT GONNA VOTE FOR BISHOP BACKSTABBERER
(a.k.a. “Etch-a-Sketch”).

No Republican has carried Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes), Michigan (16) or Wisconsin (10) in any of the past five elections, for example.

And being a PA resident, I don't see how Romney wins here. You win statewide as a pubbie in PA by starting out as being demonstrably pro-life and pro-gun. False-front Dem groups can run ads showing Romney to be neither.

Romney can try to run away from his history. But the Dems won't let him.
