Has Obama Peaked?
American Spectator ^ | 7-31-2012 | J.T. Young

Posted on 07/31/2012 12:53:45 PM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Democrats' biggest concern isn't the economy; it's whether Obama has already peaked. There are numerous reasons to believe it's true. If true, there are rapidly diminishing opportunities for the Administration to reverse it, and a growing list that could accelerate it.

Pick your poll: the presidential race is a toss-up. ...

The race has been so tight for so long, that it is not news -- until we factor in campaign spending. While the focus has been on Republicans' advantage with Super PACs, the overlooked story is how much Obama has outspent Romney on campaign advertising.

....

Looking at the polls in this context, the worry should be clear: despite significantly outspending Romney, Obama has gotten no separation from him. Nor is it just Democratic spending that has assailed Romney. He weathered a long grueling primary, during which he was the constant target of all challengers.

.....

The realization should be emerging that Obama was not really that strong in 2008, when he massively outspent a disadvantaged opponent. And he is even weaker now -- despite an early and significant spending advantage -- when he will be unable to financially overwhelm a stronger opponent. The questions Democrats must be asking is: Has Obama already peaked? And can he hold on just long enough?

On the day they swore the Clown Moron in I said: “Well, he’s peaked.” And I was serious. And I was right.

The backroom vote production line is working overtime to stuff the ballot boxes from coast to coast.

Romney will need a true landslide to eke out a razor thin victory.

No one could have beat Obama. McKane screwed up, lousy nominee. Everything was in Obama’s favor. Now, we know. Well, us here knew who he is. America doesn’t want socialism. Obama will be kicked out a la Carter.

Look at Wisconsin, look who we are sending to DC. We are on a conservative ascendency.

America won’t vote for population control. We’ll vote for freedom.

The entire reason that Obama has spent such a vast sum so early is that...

He secretly supported the Romney campaign thinking that
Mitt would be an easier opponent than Newt or any of
his competitors.

He spent it all on Michele’s vacations.

He peaked and now the acid is wearing off.

Obama is a leftist black. If you aren’t gay, or a radical feminist looking for free rubbers, or on the federal dole for benefits, the fact that Obama is a leftist black is all he has going for him. That is all it takes to peak with a pile of worthless Democrats.

Slight modification:

...narcissist leader of a communist regime who has inflicted great economic hardship on his country.

That was a great poster!!!

“the polls are simply catching up”

Because they’re so bad for Obama that even aggressive oversampling of Democrats can no longer hide the true picture.

The leftist fawning lame stream media and the timid and terrified Republican establishment are both doing their part everyday to keep Obummer afloat.

It will be interesting to see how many Democrats react to his loss....when their own party said it was close.

Obviously, there will be those that cry foul, but, there will be an uncomfortable number of Dem’s that will be affected in a very negative way by this election.

Vast amounts of steam will have been lost.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Obama were to funnel money to “the 3rd party guys” just to help split the vote.

Yes, Obama’s undecided are few.

Continued socialism will be slowed,
then we get a new Reagan and really
turn things around.

Are we ready to get to work?

I agree. I think their strategy early on was to try to “brand” Romney with Bain, and it utterly failed; then it backfired with the “you didn’t build that.” So he shot his best magic bullet, I think.
