Oh yeah, absolutely. He's a shoo-in, Washington Post. You - and all the other geniuses of the default media - don't have a thing to worry about. You're world view is perfectly valid; you have succeeded in your life-long goal of bending reality to conform to your dream-world by means of words and pictures.
Give yourselves another pat on the back, for me.

"Yeah, umm, nice model I guess. Not so much milk in my latte next time."
To: SeekAndFind
Isn’t that a bigger margin than his win over McLame? At a time when 0bama is fairly reviled throughout the country and his own base is fairly apathetic? Nuts!

I have to quote WAPO commenter mitchellvii. I think he’s got a good handle on all the data.
“I prefer the Occam’s Razor Election Model. It goes like this: Obama is a lousy President. Romney wins.”

Liberal Arts graduates tend to have degrees in Chemistry, Physics, Math ~ and business grads these days tend to have degrees that don’t draw employers interest to them.

The model forecasts Obama will get 53.2 percent of the two-party vote and Romney will get 46.8 percent.Rotfl! Talk about whistling past the graveyard.
Keep thinking just like that okay? Please?

If you haven't seen it yet, you might agree that these pollsters may have employed tactics similar to
these and for the same reasons as described on that thread.
To: SeekAndFind
Course the models predicted the recent Tea Party victories too.

Sadly, I think they may be right. From my perspective there seems to be just as much love, excitement and support for the One on the street. I am seeing more 0bama stickers and yard signs around me than 4 years ago.
The election is not about the economy. It's about pop culture and what is cool. Romney is a a white, religious, monogamous person as is Paul Ryan. White is not cool. Religion is not cool. Monogamy is not cool....But being black or Latino is cool, being sexually active and having “friends with benefits’ is very cool. Children out of wedlock is cool.
People will vote for 0bama in droves because of his image, not his policies. This is the American Idol and Jersey Shore age. People are worried about image and nothing more.

You may be right. See the support and popularity polls. It’s an American Idol election.

If 0bama win’s in November, then we will never EVER see another republican POTUS.
