doesn’t matter. The only things that matter are Florida, VA and Ohio and to a lesser extent, Colorado. Obama might lose the popular vote by a few million and still win this thing which is why voting for an actual candidate that can actually defeat Obama is important.

85% of Democrats would still vote for Obama.

Mass hypnosis, or mass insanity.

Yep. A.) Country is close to being gone. And B.) If Romney wins you will all of sudden see the media focusing on gas prices, long term unemployment, what kind of jobs are being created, home values, GDP, debts, deficits, etc - everything they have ignored for 4 years.

The chances of either winning the popular vote but losing the electoral college are exceedingly slim. There is only one example of this happening in modern history.

If it looks to Obama like he will lose, he will call off the election for some emergency.

Yep. Dems too high. Reps about right. Inds too low.

Also, I don’t think blacks will make up 12% this time.

Obama leads Romney 89% to 5% among African American voters (12% of likely voters).

Whew!

And 95%+ of them will answer, "Why?" with a garble that adds up to, "Becasue he's black." Same thing with O.J's acquittal. Sometimes I think blacks are more about race than white people.

Mass hypnosis, or mass insanity.

Mass insanity I think. The inability to think. I grew up in the 1980's in a democratic blue-collar Catholic home. My parents grew up in the mid-40's to mid 60's. The democrats are for the working man, the Republicans for the rich.

Was nearly thrown out of the house in 1988 when this Catholic middle Class boy realize (or at least thought) that Bush would continue Reagan's pro-growth, low tax, low government dependency anti-Communist, pro-life values and announced I was for Bush over Dukakis. It was like I told them I no longer believed in Christ or that I was gay.

My problem was that I was thinking for myself.

I have been the black sheep of my family every since. The rest are good, caring, Christian, loving, people who what the best for America. They just can't think, which is the definition of insanity when it comes to politics.

Obama leads Romney 50% to 46% among voters age 18 to 49 (49% of likely voters). Among voters age 50 and older (51% of likely voters), Romney leads Obama 52% to 43%.

Seems the age of accountability and reason has bumped to 50 and older.

It's going to be a landslide. It might even challenge the biggest landslide of all -- Johnson over Goldwater 61-39.

The media will likely continue to trash Republicans -- but their credibility will have been exhausted.

The left is going to get squashed...like a bug.
