I knew Johnson would siphon off 0bama’s pot smokin’ gay vote.

I was hoping for a Jill Stein Green Party bump. Left of left could only hurt the "O."

I was a huge Rodney O and Joe Cooley fan back in the day and this made my night.

Man, I must be getting old. I've never heard of them.

That’s probably the only way he’d hear that. Not to many are going to admit disappointment across racial lines.

If Johnson is taking votes from those who would otherwise be voting for Obama, then that’s not a de facto vote for Obama.

On the Logic Scale, that rates a Duh (no offense intended).

Per your reasoning, that would count as a vote for Romney.

...for Freepers who would otherwise be voting for Romney, picking Johnson is more or less a vote for Obama.

That's the part of this reasoning that fails, in my mind. It's the assumption that a person's vote is somehow owed to the party with which they most closely associate.

Political parties are an invention that have nothing whatsoever to do with our system of government or the root tenets of our founding. If one believes in the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, then they most likely see themselves as a free citizen, unbeholden to any political party.

In that wise, their vote is their own, and is sacred. The very thought that it's somehow owed to one party or the other cuts against the very grain of what it means to be an American.

This poll should not be posted here....it’s nonsense.

Romney’s ahead, but not by 11...this poll had him by 20 ahead a few days ago. That is just not realistic.

Agreed. I think these folks are throwing their credibility out the window with this poll.

Husband overheard several Blacks working in Atlanta totally trashing Bambi a few weeks ago. With pubbies charged up and bambi losing indies, and even if only minimally other groups who voted for him I don’t see how he can win.

There was a poll taken of black voters in North Carolina a few days back that showed an astonishing 9% shift into Romney's column. Maybe someone will post the link to the thread.

I knew that Romney would pick up some of the black vote beyond the normal 5% to 8% Republicans always get, but 9%? Wow. That spells doom for Bambi.

So this is their own poll — not their unskewed version of another poll. If so, SHAZAM!

Don't worry. I will, and it won't be for Bozo.

That will be the effect if Zero tries a Libya drone strike or anything similar as an October surprise.
He’ll lose the Kucinich types to third parties.

It does seem high but as in any poll it changes daily and is never concrete, as you can see some days Johnson showed 0%.

I worry that anything but a vote for Romney will be a vote for Obama.
I'm expecting a grandchild. I don't want ‘civilization as we know it’ to end right now.
The United States of America is the world's last best hope.

Nully, I am pinging you because you were asking about my dreams earlier. Seems to me that fear is driving me more than dreams.
