Calm down, Freepers. Take a Xanax, and stop looking at polls. Keep in mind:
1. They told us the Wisconsin Recall was TOO CLOSE TO CALL on the day of that election.
2. We were told Kerry had a lead in OH of 5 points days before the 2004 election. Bush won OH.
3. Not one single pollster predicted the republican TIDAL WAVE of 2010. Not a single one.
4. Romney/Ryan are filling up HUGE stadiums and Zero’s people are having to change to smaller venues so there can’t be photos of massive empty seats.
5. Ask yourself this: Forget about R or D. Suppose Candidate A is an incumbent president who can’t get to 50% in the polls. The people who enthusiastically turned out for him before are going to either switch sides or stay home in significant numbers (youth vote, women, Jews, Catholics). Candidate A cannot run on his disastrous record, and so the entire campaign strategy has been to depict his opponent as an evil person and accuse him of being a lying murderer. The crowds at events for Candidate A look dejected and desperate. Even though the press is trying fervently to cover for Candidate A, the public saw with their own eyes and ears how Candidate A blamed a video for a terrorist attack and the public knows that to be a blatant lie.
Candidate B had the entire lame-stream press against him, yet he handily won the first debate and people saw that he is not the person demonized by his opponent. Candidate B has run an upbeat campaign and has talked about the issues. Candidate B has a business record to run on. Candidate B has been at 50% to 51% in the polls (with a minor blip due to slobbering hurricane press coverage of Candidate A). Candidate B has won back the women’s vote from what it was at the last election. The independents are favoring Candidate B. The enthusiasm for Candidate B is at record levels.
So, forgetting R or D, with three days left to go, which campaign would you want to be a part of?
You are wrong on #1, 2 and 3.
Right on. Romney’s event in Ohio last night drew 30,000+! Obama has an Ohio event today with “several thousand.” LOL. And Obama’s event is being held, ironically, in the very same high school gymnasium where the hapless Juan McCain held an event the weekend before the 2008 vote. Who would you rather be today, Romney or Obama?
This is one of the best comments I’ve ever read on this site. Thanks for helping to talk some of us off the ledge.
We have to win this election. I know we can.
Get out and vote! Everyone!
