I’m sorry but the basic supposition that you can reside over the WORST ECONOMY IN MODERN US HISTORY and get re-elected is nonsense.
Obama, will be the ONLY president in the modern age to have fewer people employed at the end of his term than when he took office, that’s a pure and simple fact. 1 in 2 college grads can’t find a job. Real unemployment is in the teens.
There will alwas be kool aid drinkers and party loyalists who will pull the lever no matter what, but the idea that those equate to 50%+1 vote of the country is nonsensical.
Polls limited to swing states show Obama down 10 already. Others show thatn 20% of DEMOCRATS plan to vote for Romney... Obama is going to not only lose this election, he’s going to lose it big.
Now fight like its a 50-50 race, but don’t buy into the nonsense folks... 3.6% +1 vote is all that needs to change its mind for Obama to lose the popular vote. Now the EC is a bit more of an issue, but given the EC overweighs sparsely populated states, its impossible for Obama to win the EC and lose the Popular vote because his popular vote support is from large states, not sparcely populated ones.
3.6%+1 vote.. anyone thinking he won’t lose that much support between 08 and 12 isn’t thinking clearly at all.
I hope you are right. The wild card involves the impact of at least two factors
- lies/ propaganda - many voters don’t operate in a rational analysis zone. They can be fooled and bought
- cheating - illegals, dead vote and tricks
“I’m sorry but the basic supposition that you can reside over the WORST ECONOMY IN MODERN US HISTORY and get re-elected is nonsense.”
FDR did.
And got re-elected, not once, not twice, but THREE times!
I admire your optimism, but Obama has “grown food stamps and welfare” so much, that many of “his people” (and I don’t just mean the black ones) no longer care about unemployment. Instead, they care about entitlements.
The election will be much closer than you predict...
