Is there a Republican landslide coming in November?
American Thinker ^ | 10/02/2012 | Keith Edwards

Posted on 10/02/2012 5:25:25 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

It would be an election night to remember for Republicans and conservatives if the Romney/Ryan presidential ticket wins in a landslide, but nothing short of shock and awe for Democrats and their liberal media allies based on the latest polls.

Quick to sweep the historic Republican election landslide in 2010 and Scott Walker's big victory in Wisconsin's recall election under the rug, Democrats and the liberal media have been treating Obama's dismal record on the economy and foreign policy the same way they treated those elections - like they never happened.

Since those elections, Democrats and the liberal media have been in total denial, enabled by skewed and biased polls to continue reporting with a straight face their foolish narrative that the Tea Party and conservatism are dead and that a majority of the American electorate wants four more years of Obama.

Unfortunately for the Democrats and the liberal media, after November 6th there may not be enough room under the rug to hide the election results this time.

Consider that new evidence shows that political polling may have reached a point where consistent and accurate consensus results may be more luck and manipulation than science.

You are underestimating the power of stupid people in large groups.

Reason and logic cannot stand against a rushing tide of stadia full of zombies chanting “OH-BAH-MAH!”

This election can be boiled down to four words: “Where’s My Free Sh!t?”

This is all assuming there will even BE an election next month...

I DIDN’T think McCain would win in 2008 although I voted for him.

He was and is, an ugly, twisted, evil little man who spends more time slamming Republicans and pandering to Democrats. He ran a MISERABLE and ineffective campaign.

I DON’T know who is going to win this one. Its too close to call and I really think a lot of people are very guarded about their opinions fearing retailation by Obama Thugs.

But Romeny had better get VERY aggressive in the debates with his opponent. As Trump stated again and again in his interviews, Obama is NOT a nice guy - he’s a tough political thug from Chicago.

I'm from PA and I know that I've have signed up or converted 15 voters that either didn't vote in '08 or voted for obama.

Today is the day that the judge gives his final ruling on Voter ID and as a poll watcher, if he upholds it, I say obama will lose in PA.

I've watched the corruption and fraud since I started poll watching in 2000, but this voter ID law will really help.

It is not fool proof, but it will eliminate the roving bands of paid voters {paid by the unions}, that go from precinct to precinct and vote in lieu of a dead voter or one that has moved.

The union goons strong arm their members, and are a bought and paid for extension of the demonRAT party.

I was counting on the Silent Majority in ‘08 and was very disappointed.

I was too, but I wasn't surprised when they didn't enthusiastically vote McNuts into office. Even having Sarah on the ticket wasn't enough to convince some conservatives to show up and vote for that putz.

I agree with the ‘where’s my free sh^t?” point of your post... however, this morning on my way to an appt I was driving through an upper middle class subdivision here in suburban Columbus, and was shocked by the fact that there seemed to be just as many O signs as R signs.
I see an O sign on a manicured lawn in front of a suburban 500k house and I’m dumbfounded. What can these people possibly find attractive about an O re-election? Best I can figure is they have some cush gov job...or they’re just brain dead.

No. At best it is going to be close, and Democrats will try to steal it. They have enjoyed the last four years entirely too much to give it up easily.

I think that Romney has basically been proven correct that Obama’s support is stuck at 47%. He can’t get higher than that, and it can only go lower in the sense that some of that group may be too lazy to turn out.

In the absence of a viable third candidate its hard to see how Barry wins with that. I don’t see anything scary enough about Mitt they’re gonna find to scare many back over to the Obama side.

But in any case 47% indicates a tight race, not a landslide.

They didn’t see the turnout for 2010 coming, and they refuse to believe 2012 will be different from 2008. Obamazombies are worn out and depressed...the freshness is gone.

The American Idol President will be no more after Jan. 2013.

“We have a chance to totally destroy the polling organizations”

I think this is happening to some degree.

I was polled by Gallup a few weeks ago and I lied for the intent of skewing their results - not about everything - but I did tell them I’m an independent.

So I’m recorded as an ‘I’ as far as their stats, but I’ve almost always voted straight ‘R’ (exception being the time I voted for Sam Nunn long ago).

There. Fixed it.

If this happens the Progressives would demand endless re-counts. Obama will not leave the White House saying the election was flawed. He will demand the Mitt step down for the good of the nation so he could continue his Social Justice Experiment. Riots in streets—people dying etc... I bet Romney would do it too—”for the good of the Nation”. Going to be a really hard three months.

Samuel L. Jackson does have a certain look of fear and panic in his eye as he is screaming at them to "Wake The F*** Up!"

I went to a McCain campaign rally just before the election - As pumped up as we were to keep Obama out of the White House and give McCain a chance, he pissed the entire gathering off by saying things like 'I know Obama would be a good President' and 'We need to work with the democrats' etc etc.

You don't usually hear supporters boo their own candidate, but we did. It was clear that McCain really didn't want to win, and would have been a piss-poor President had he won.

This article articulates exactly how I have seen it for months.

HOWEVER: never before has the lame-stream media been so blatantly biased for the leftie candidate. There are a significant amount of voters out there who only get their information from tv. These people are shown crap poll after crap poll proclaiming Zero the winner, while nothing is mentioned about how Dims have been over-sampled. These people are told a video caused the attacks in Libya. These people know next to nothing about F&F.

This is why Romney needs to get more TV ads out there. Internet ads won’t reach these people.

“In the absence of a viable third candidate its hard to see how Barry wins with that. I don’t see anything scary enough about Mitt they’re gonna find to scare many back over to the Obama side.”

The lame-stream media is feverishly looking for a third candidate they can give prime-time coverage to. They are praying for a Perot to split the Republican vote.

“Dittos that. I figured our WI recall elections would wind up with weeks of legal challenges until the Dems squeaked out a “win.” There were very few more shocked than me when the election was called for Gov. Walker less than an hour after the polls closed.”

And at as soon as the polls closed at 5pm, the lame-streams reported TOO CLOSE TO CALL according to their exit polls.
