I still find it hard to believe, based on fairly extensive anecdotal data (I travel all over the country on business) that Obama is ahead.

Demographically the country is changing beneath you. Most producers won't see it till its too late. There are far more bottom feeders and non producers now. For every normal, productive person that swings away from Obama, there is 1.1+ young minorities who don't work and love what Hussein is selling (freebies).

My guess is we crossed the point of no return last election cycle. We may have a chance this time out, but I have my doubts. The mystery of the "skewed" polls resolves itself when you think about what I said about demographics. More white people than ever (particularly white men) will be voting for the Republican ticket - and it still won't be enough. We've basically already lost the country.

You’re doom & gloom report conveniently left out the 2010 midterms when describing how demographic changes mean that the country has reached ‘a point of no return’. Don’t give me the liberal meme that midterms don’t count either. The fact is that there were the same number of D candidates as their were R candidates.

I agree with you ...Republicans are demographically doomed. The other side has weeks to bus their people to the poles for early voting ...god only knows what kind of monkey business goes on with that ....conservatives just don’t have the numbers in the right states to win ........starting off with zero chance in California, NY, and Illinois is a heck of a hill to climb..... Texas soon will be transformed and the final absolute nail in the coffin... don’t know if it’s 8 or 12 years but that is coming ...

My curiosity now is if the country goes down in flames or just slowly descends into a giant size version of Mexico

Yeah, to a large extent demographics is destiny

However, it is not as rock solid as you may think.

1. Only 60% of whites vote Republican
2. Depending on the state, as many as 40%+ of its Latino voters will vote Republican (e.g. Texas in 2004)
3. Sikhs are majority Republican voters
4. Cubans ditto
5. According to recent polls 35% of Jewish voters will pull the Republican handle in the polls
6. Hindus and Chinese voters are 35%+ Republican voting
7. 10% of African American voters are now Republican

Bottom line is that demographics can be destiny but we can certainly move a lot of these inherently conservative voting blocks over to us. A lot of it is perception
