Yes and yes
I am 100% confident our side will turn out. I think in the end many of theirs will stay home (or in the privacy of the ballot box vote their conscience)
Then it’s Romney 53% Obama 47% on Election Day.
Give it a bit more time for this to sink in. It takes a while for dems who are somewhat open to a switch to be willing to say so in a poll.
He is absolutely correct and something I’ve been pointing out as well. There is nothing that will sway the 45% of voters who are firmly entrenched in Obamas camp or the 45% who are in the anti-obama camp. The 10% in the middle are morons who will probably split their vote. SO it is totally dependenton turnout. Romney needs to suppress Obama turnout using social issues and enhance his own turnout using economic issues.
Obama is absolutely protected by the MSM
There are all of the "Independents" who just like pretending they are independent-minded when in fact they are basically lifelong Democrats or Republicans.
There are all of those idiots who want to vote for the winner (like those who buy a ticket for the favorite in the Kentucky Derby even when the odds are below 1:1) who will vote for Obama or Romney, not because they prefer either, but because they want to say they voted for the winner.
It is truly sad.
NOT only is this election about kicking out the muslim communist out of the WH but ALSO a vote against the mediaWHORES WHO ARE TRYING THEIR DARNEST TO SHAPE this race for ObozO! WE MUST NOT FAIL!!
You already have CWII, in all but name.
That’s how dhimmocraps are buying people and that’s how tyrany comes .
In addition they also buy the illegal immigrant crowds with amnysties and benefits .
This is a complete fraud . These guys are fake democrats and true liberal fascists . They must be kicked out of power...or you are done
I disagree with this point. I think the polarization is related to where voters get their information. To the extent they venture beyond the MSM is also the extent to which they are open to other than a liberal worldview.
I have a feeling from talking with some oldtimer (65+) democrats who “will never vote republican”, when going to the poll this year they will leave the presidential box unmarked.
Not sure how wide spread this is, but in my little corner it seems prevalent. Of course, they will still be marking “D” down the column on every other race, but I think they see what the Communist in Chief is doing to America.
Finally a sensible article about the polls.
But, Romney is not allowed to call out the 49% who deposit the checks.
Well, the Democrats have the taker and godless votes locked up; what else is new.
Have no fear - remember 2010 and remember CHIK-FIL-A!
If Rush is right then around election time they`ll have no choice but to tell the truth or face irrelevancy after the fact that they screwed up so bad becomes plain to see. Keep up the fight and don`t give up yet, it ain`t over till it`s over.
Spot on. The growing numbers of the parasitic class have grown so quickly and substantially, the percentage of those locked in for Obama are no less than 46 or 47 percent. That's why there won't be a landslide for Romney or any GOP presidential candidate ever again, without the wildcard of criminal charges, nuclear war, etc.
In my travels, I’m finding it difficult to find ANYBODY saying ANYTHING nice about Obummer.
I think most minds are already made up.
And the consensus opinion is to throw the bum out!
Too bad we don’t have a real conservative candidate, with a real spine and a flamethrower for a mouth, but Romney will have to do. Bring on November!
Hinderaker is onto something but I think it’s even bigger and deeper than he frames it here. I think what’s happened is that America is now confronting the age old question that’s had the West racking its collective brain for the last 2500 years or so. Which is, should men be free or should they be subject to the enlightened will of their betters? Our political parties have evolved such that they come down on opposite sides of this question more consistently and over a broader range of issues than ever before. The two answers can’t be reconciled and so we have two totally dug in camps.
So, I think this is about Big Stuff, and I don’t know how a civilization resolves this sort of thing. I guess through historical trial and error. What’s dismaying is that America had it all figured out. We had answered the question clearly and confidently and could have avoided the tumult. But we’ve gone sort of wobbly on our principles and so now we’re being dragged into it.
Convincing the undecideds is very important as well. If you get one of them, that’s like getting two votes, one away from the other guy, and one for your guy. Getting out the vote is only “one” vote, since these were never going to vote for the other guy anyway.
So if the GOP and Dem turnout is roughly the same, then the undecideds get decide the issue.
So both getting out the vote and convincing undecideds is important.
