I have a theory, it might be BS but it is plausible to me. I think that people just aren’t saying that they will not vote for Obama. I think the racism thing is so strong that no one wants to be accused of it and they just aren’t talking about it.
OTOH,, I have seen about 5 new Obama stickers and no Romney stickers around here. People are disconnected and only discuss the process not the participants. Most of the people I have talked to who voted for Obama last time aren’t going to vote for him again but they aren’t going to vote for Romney either.
A friend of ours noticed that there were few Romney signs around so he ordered a bunch of them and he’s taking them around to people to put up. But again, OTOH, there are NO Obama signs.
it’s all going to come down to the debates, because Romney is simply not being covered, except in a negative light.
it’s insane... we’ve got these 2 idiots Zero and Hitlery last week claiming no terrorism...Our friggin ambassador was killed... hello ??........
and the MSM can only talk about Mitt’s 47% comment...
the only way Romney will get through the noise of the left and MSM is in the debates... He had better do extremely well or it’s all over this country-— as we know it... we will be toasted....done...liberty will be a quaint idea of the past.
Do you live in a Blues State, tiki? Sounds like it. And, if so, this is good news.
I don't think it's a theory. I think it's true because just about all of the criticism of Obama's policies is described as racism.
“I have a theory, it might be BS but it is plausible to me. I think that people just aren’t saying that they will not vote for Obama. I think the racism thing is so strong that no one wants to be accused of it and they just aren’t talking about it.”
In 2008, the theory du jour was, “People don’t want the pollsters to think they are racists, so they tell them they will vote for Obama but in the privacy of the voting booth, they’ll vote for McCain”
I know I read it a dozen times, right here on F.R.

I think you are right. People may no longer trust the MSM (60% now don’t) but that doesn’t mean they aren’t affected by them, and they play the race card day in and day out. It never stops.
Bingo.

Your theory is as plausible as mine. Mine says that people lie, people kid around, people equivocate, people shrug and do all kinds of things when money and commitment are not involved. Because what does it cost them? All polls are sh%t for that reason alone!
