Youtube has a couple clips from the days when blue was used for the GOP and red for the Dems. 1980, NBC: It’s 8:15 pm on election night and John Chancellor and Tom Brokaw are declaring Reagan the winner. Already he had reached 270 votes in their projections. By the end of the night, it was something like Reagan 489, Carter 49. (This after circumstances like right now with wimpy foreign policy,
high gas prices or low availability, “country in wrong direction”).
Another clip from 84 shows a sea of blue, a GOP swimming pool. Mondale got 13 electoral votes—Minn. (he won barely) and D.C. That was it, worst Dem drubbing in history.
Chancellor remarks in first clip that in 76 they were up till about 3:30 am before they could declare Carter the winner. But ‘80? It was clear early Reagan had bet Jimmah, and big.
I don’t know if it’ll be a landslide. It could be close. Obama with the MSM on his side could win, but this could be a “surprising” win for Romney (especially given the slanted polls...plus those of us who WORK or don’t have landline phones aren’t counted, or we hang up on them, or they don’t bother calling us).
There may be long faces at MSNBC, etc,. on election night.
I still remember a couple days after the 04 election. I tuned into Air America for laughs. Al Franken and other moonbats were on and they sounded like they hadn’t slept all week. Gloomy, depressed, frustrated (and wondering how the GOP “stole” the election and how they could fight it).
Classic.
Today it is 65% non Hispanic Caucasisn
and the Democrats garner 2/3rds of that 15% difference easy of minority population increase
never again unless things change cataclysmal in favor of the conservative vote will 1984 be replicated or Nixon in 1972 either
we did this to ourselves voluntarily for one reason...so as not to be considered bigoted
we gave away our nation and culture
people here think we can prevail simply through the voting booth are delusional
the demographics of today will seem great compared to 50 years from now
to be honest though...we knew how blacks voted but it was not a complete given by any means that such a majority of HY-spanics would be so leftist and believers in socialism and also vote so anti Anglo...they have bought into the same minority victim-preference as blacks..we were selling it afterall...the GOP as bad as anyone
I could tell by 2001 or so and was shouted down here...banned even for awhile
We have two options:
Moderate to where they will vote for us as a majority
or start having a lot more conservative raised cracker babies
and I don't see “gotta have my career” white women going for that or their sissy husbands having the meddle
white women today simply will not reproduce like their agrarian great grannies did or like latino women do
hence..we will become a latin American culture soon enough...my great grandkids will for sure see this come
but latino women will slow down..richer and lazier about getting pregnant ..less inclined...but that won't stop the juggernaut
we already passed the tipping point...the last decade...thanks in large part to the GOP doing nothing about our borders and illegals
