People voted for Obama out of desperation; why would they vote for him again? It is getting much worse out there (regardless of what his media says), and it is in ways that are visible to all. The job situation is NOT turning around, grocery prices ARE rising, the housing prices/foreclosure problem IS getting worse, and there is no way to convince people otherwise.
Nice analogy to start off except Bush won in 2008 and Obama will be landslided out in 2012.
Obama pulling us down the ‘wrong track’.
How fitting.
Some of us saw that train coming.
When “New Republic” is straining to put a good spin on Obama’s chances, you know he’s in deep do-do.
If this ends up being a repeat of 2004 and Mitt ends up beating Dear Leader it will be because (AND ONLY BECAUSE)—as many of us did in 04—we will be voting AGAINST Obummer and NOT FOR, Mittens, the same as we did against the Traitorous, Rat-Bas-Turd, Kerry and not for W as many of us Cons realized by then that the “Compassionate Conservative” was NOT who we wanted to lead us for another 4 years, but like today, we could not stand the thought of John Kerry in the Oval Office, much like we do NOT want the Fascist, Neo-Commie to have another 4 years as we fear for the Safety and Survival of our Republic.
Gee, maybe simply because Americans got a firsthand introduction to socialism in his first term and don’t like it very much.

Who cares what X percent of the voters are saying?
Look, the Big O will rack up a HUGE popular vote lead in such states as California, but what does that matter?
He can take the state with 51%. - The other 20%, while big numbers, are just fluff.
What is important is the sentiment in the key states that will stop him from getting 270 electoral votes.
Notice they neatly tuck this paragraph in the middle hoping readers would miss it, “But new numbers from Gallup indicate that by an astonishing 20 percentage points, fewer voters aged 18 to 29 say that they will definitely vote than they did four years ago, and their voting intentions fall short of this year’s average among all registered voters by the same margin. By contrast, relative to the electorate as a whole, more older voters are committed to voting. The same Gallup survey shows diminished enthusiasm among Hispanic voters. In 2008, members of this pivotal group were a modest 8 points below the national average for definite voters. This year, it’s 14 percent.”

Why Bam’s losing
W’s 2004 trick won’t work
“In 2004, the election was a referendum on the incumbent, and the incumbent convinced Americans he had done the right things.
In 2012, what is the incumbent going to do — talk about somebody else’s tax returns for the next 109 days?

Uh oh. Collectivism, state control of property and business, suffocating regulations, permanent uncertainty win out over freedom and economic liberty. Not a good sign at all. Maybe Romney's speech this week could have turn this tide...if it had gotten more than ZERO coverage in the MSM.
I could feel alot more comfortable about all the current polling in American politics if we weren’t already aware that Dem voters are polled in much higher numbers.
The media needs to be taken to the woodshed after this coming election, also. They have been more than ‘biased’.
