Great news all around.
Great news. Gotta get people registered to kick Obamuggabe out in November.
Paging Scotty Rass, please put down the Twinkie and pick up the white courtesy phone, reality calling.
Twice, today, once in the PA/Susquehanna poll analysis by Lee and one in an analysis of rural votes, we have had pollsters day that Obama is 7% off his 08 pace. Hmmm. Now this.
That is why you have these BS polls which over samples Dems by 15+ points. They know that if the TRUE polls came out it would show Romney with a clear lead. They are hoping that with these polls, that enough Republicans will stay home
I fail to see how voter registration is even relevant for the Dem side. With motor voter laws everywhere, I would harbor a guess that there are millions of folks on the voter rolls that have never voted. If GOP is taking a lead after decades of that, I have a good feeling of who will be getting 47% of the vote in six weeks. Though Jerry Brown supposedly did just sign same day voter registration bill today. But CA was already screwed.
I'm always amazed by this way of thinking.....and I'm not disagreeing or disputing you btw.
I have never stayed home or was discouraged into staying home in my life. I don't know of any conservative that has. Perhaps there are conservatives or republicans who do get discouraged enough to stay home....certainly the "anybody but Romney" crowd on this forum has threatened repeatedly to do so....but I truly question how much this actually works for the donks....especially in this vital election.
Not that they don't try for certain...
The only reason why I say this is because I remember in 2008 listening to Rush and Mark Levin and hearing caller after caller saying “Why should I bother voting, Obama’s already won” do those people who say that actually at the end go out and vote I’m not sure but when I hear stuff like that I understand why the Dems are doing this again
53,000 voters doesn't seem like a lot, but that's a sizable chunk of the Nevada population.
I wrote in another thread a few weeks back about the 2010 elections where I noticed that a lot of the no-show [DEM] voters on the voting rolls at my local polling place were from addresses around our area that were either repo'd or in short sale.
I can't speak to Northern NV Democrats moving back to CA in droves, but I personally know of a few who have moved back to places where the social services are a lot more generous than they are here.
Good thing about the Southern NV Democrats has been that if they lose their jobs and homes down in Las Vegas (or just want out for whatever reason, like perhaps that three months in the summertime with temps of 116F in the shade) they don't/can't/won't stick around in Nevada, instead choosing to go straight back to where they came from in the first place: Los Angeles and San Bernardino CA.
With just about everyone in NV living paycheck-to-paycheck and as much as $200,000 upside down on their mortgage, if they lose their income they're finished here. All they can do is walk away from their 2005-vintage $400,000 McMansion in Henderson NV, driving off in their Hummer H3 on it's giant chromed spinning wheels back to Southern California where a $300,000 1961-vintage house basically means they'll have to live in some depressing and sketchy remote suburb where they'll commute over an hour each way to get to work at a cost of $4.53/gallon in that 7500 pound land whale that gets 9mpg in the stop-and-go traffic of an I-10 traffic jam.
I recently read that in SoCal home sales are again on the rise, and that how this is very good news. Yeah, I know: former Californians are moving back home and getting new sub-prime government loans on a home they'll be delinquent on just like they did the last place they fled from. Hey, and while they're at it, check out the new low LOW sub-prime rates on this new 2013 Chevy Tahoe!
They think that Republicans motivation levels and reasoning is the same as that of Democrats.
To think otherwise would - of course - be "judgmental."
One thing that worries me is this election just might come down to the 29 electoral votes Florida has. Florida has by far the largest number of electoral votes of the undecided battleground states. I don't see how one can loose Florida and still win the election based on the current electoral map as the polls have them.
The current Rasmussen electoral map has the Kenyan at 237 predicted electoral points and Romney at 196. His last Florida poll (Sept 13th) has Florida 0=48% R=46%
The overall trend is in our favor, but the trend has not put us ahead of the game yet.... according to the polls.
Tucker Carlson said the other day that 0bama has overpolled in every poll, including exit polls.
“The Democrats want to convince [these anti-Obama voters] falsely that Romney will lose to discourage them from voting.”

Good article, thanks
I guess the tactic does work, but it never has with me. My mother drilled into me that if I didn’t vote I had no right to complain about the outcome. It’s always stuck.
Great observation; no true citizen sits home on election day. To those who say “Anybody But Romney” I say “That Means Obama.” They may not like Romney, but for now, he’s our best shot of ejecting O. But I state clearly that the Republican Party needs a good grooming, and the Tea party has the shears. “I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
“They are hoping that with these polls, that enough Republicans will stay home”
They have no idea what’s about to happen to them politically.
Any thinking voter that has been paying attention to 10% of the crap going on politically, will crawl across broken glass and navigate razor wire to pull the lever against this embarrassment of a national mistake.
“The overall trend is in our favor, but the trend has not put us ahead of the game yet.... according to the polls.”
Which is why it is imperative to look at the sample make-up and selection methodology supporting the poll results.
In most recent polls, the outcome is skewed in Obama’s favor based on unscrupulous oversampling of Democrats and failing to take into account voter intensity/enthusiasm, and Independent voters who are increasingly uncomfortable with Dear Leader.
Romney will win in a landslide of epic proportions, IMHO.
