President Barack Obama today drew crowds of 2,600 in Green Bay, Wisconsin and 4,500 in Las Vegas, Nevada, a far cry from the nearly 80,000 people who showed up for a campaign rally of his during the last week of the 2008 campaign in Fairfax, Virginia.

New York Times reporter Mark Landler said the crowd sizes were "Not impressive for the last week of a campaign."

The Obamabots in NJ and NYC are under water,have no electricity, no subway, and their Obamaphones are not working.

The polling places are where? Unless JayZ invites them to vote from his apartment I think that the NY results may suffer.

and their Obamaphones are not working? Wow! Until this moment I did not truly realize the dire straits those Obamabots in NJ and NYC are in. Surely the local Democrats will get their phone service back quickly so that Obama can text message his concern for them and their votes.

I thought Nevada was one of those states that like California, always went democrat?

Ann Compton sounds like she is having a constant orgasm when talking. Especially when the subject is Obama.

Which side is more willing to crawl over broken glass (even literally) this time in order to vote? The Democrats or the Republicans? The enthusiasm gap may bode well for us.

Staten Island is in dire straits, no electricity, no food, no gasoline,tempers are flaring.

The last thing that they are thinking about is voting.

I live in Liberal California and I have driven up and down this state several times in the last few months and I think I can count on both hands the number of Obama/Biden bumper stickers I have seen. There does not appear to be any excitement for Obama here in Southern, Central and the Eastern Northern California. There may be a few Obama Bumper Stickers in West Hollywood and San Francisco, but there is really no groundswell of popular support like there was in 2008. I have actually seen more MITT and Romney/Ryan bumper stickers than Obama/Biden stickers this year.

There are several measures on the ballot to RAISE TAXES and as a general rule those measure always go down by at least 55% of the vote in California. Ballot measures that try to raise taxes always bring out the conservatives en masse (which is why the legistature tries to put them in off year elections so that the teachers unions and government employee unions can push their members to vote while the rest of the state sleeps).

Depending on the turnout of people who hate Obama and don’t want to be taxed anymore, I think California could be in play. That would be sweet.

There are a lot of people who would crawl across broken glass to vote out Obama and I don’t think I know a single person who would crawl across broken glass to vote for Obama. There is a lot of hatred here for Obama and there is not a groundswell of Romney haters except in the big city democrat hell holes. LA and San Francisco will go to Obama, but if the rest of the State turns out in big numbers for Romney/Ryan, then we could see a close race if not an upset.

Benghazi was a pivotal moment for me. I was considering going third party (as California was never considered a serious threat to Obama) but none of the third party candidates seem to be serious and I won’t cast my vote for someone whose heart is not in it to win it. I can’t imagine another 4 years of Obama where our National Security is concerned. I cast my vote for Romney/Ryan by dropping my ballot in the mail. Technically I was an “undecided” voter until I marked my ballot.

I believe that most, if not nearly all, the undecided voters at this point will either sit out the election or go for Romney/Ryan.

There have been no local television ads or radio ads for Obama in California. There have been some PAC ads that mention Romney and Ryan, but generally they are also hawking local politicians. The democrats are obviously taking this state for granted. But the democrats are still only a plurality and in California the 20% or more of independents could conceivably paint this state red. I will be surprised if it happens, but then it is in the realm of possibility.

Maybe Tuesday will be a “Chick Fil A” repeat. Maybe the whole world will be surprised as California goes Red.

We can HOPE can’t we?

I’m referring to getting bigger crowds. Jay Z and Springstein will be campaigning with obama in Ohio on Monday, which will bring out the obamabots.

Many people consider Chicago activist Valerie Jarrett to be the “brain behind Obama”. She has her office on the second floor of the west wing of the White House. Yesterday she gave a final election pep rally to her ‘management team’ and sent them out to motivate their staffs.

Her comments that were related by one of her staffers should give people something to think about. According to him Jarrett told them,
“After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.”

He said she was talking directly to about three of them, Senior staff. And she wasn’t trying to be quiet about it at all. And they were all listening and shaking their heads and smiling while she said it.

If Obama wins and begins a revenge administration, don’t forget the people you know who voted for him.

You don’t consider Roseanne Barr and Cindy Sheehan of the Peace & Freedom party a viable 3rd party option? Who knew!! I completed the RR arrow and voted 75% opposite the LAT on the props a couple weeks ago so I know I did good

I hope that hateful, vindicitive, sad excuse for a human being gets all the evil she has done to people, back in horribleness in her life. She is typical of a libtard.
