Author Brad Thor: Obama Campaign Planning to Proclaim Early Victory to Demoralize Romney Supporters
The Blaze ^ | 11/5/2012 | Jason Howerton

Posted on 11/05/2012 3:03:23 PM PST by notaliberal

New York Times best-selling author Brad Thor, based in Chicago, tells TheBlaze that the Obama campaign may be planning to preemptively announce victory in the presidential election based on early voting numbers in an attempt to “demoralize Mitt Romney supporters.”

Citing a “very solid source” in Chicago, Thor says the Obama campaign is looking to make it appear to voters that they have “this thing sewed up and are less than 24 hours to victory,” according to his source.

Meanwhile, team Obama will also urge voters to get out and vote so they can say they were part of the important 2012 election that resulted in a second term for Obama.

While Thor can’t reveal his source, he told TheBlaze multiple times that the source is very reliable

There was no incumbent in that race. This ain’t 2000. I would walk through a minefield guarded by black panthers and guard dogs, crawl through barbed wire and tear gas to cast my vote.

So then that will be another charge at the impeachment hearing: election manipulation. And when they lose handily how will they justify calling it early.

These people are the lowest scum on the face of the earth.
Let them go ahead and play their game; it’ll backfire. Conservatives/Republicans already know they lie every time they open their mouths; it won’t stop them from voting. But their lazy base just might think, aw hell, Barack got it already, so I don’t even have to go mess with votin.’

Every stupid tactic they’re tried has come back to bite them.

My only concern in this situation would be the media.

Would they finally admit that he’s psychotic or would they simply choose to declare him the winner.

I registered to vote in ‘94 because Rush Limbaugh talked about Clinton and the lack of character, his background, etc.. My first vote was against Clinton. I was able to calm my nerves in the 2000 election by reading all the threads on FR and learning about the chads, the courts, and what things meant. I would have gone bonkers otherwise!!! When Obama won the 08 election I had a migraine for a week and I have dedicated 4 years of educating people who he is. This election I have some Irish Creme to buffer any shocks but I do believe we will win this one. I am glad FR is back up before the election!!! Thanks so much John Robinson!

They're going to "declare victory" at the same time as they tell their voters "don't panic over early exit polls"? Doesn't make any sense -- but then again, they're Democrats.

OMG. Did I ever. I don't even know where to begin. That episode was like one long stomach-punch. I'm SO sorry to see T-Dog go! I even (gulp) felt bad about Lori, LOL.

But Rick....wow, Andrew Lincoln killed that last scene.

Brilliant! As mentioned once, the anti-O vote is voting no matter what, the loves Mitt vote is voting no matter what, but the Obamanation may decide to stay home if the percieve it is over. So to me it means O knows he is losing and is willing to toss this hail mary. It may not work but it doesnt hurt to try unless you are running for Congress.

Bottom line this strategy may well help give the pubbies the senate.

Maybe we should help the dems buy into this.

That article should be posted in Breaking News. All the other stuff like that is why isn’t that article?

It’s a good read.

That will just make them more determined to vote.

Definitely the most brutal episode I’ve seen.

Carl did something I doubt Rick could have done.

Carl’s a different boy than he was last season, for sure.

In the preview for next week’s episode, Glen had dug a grave, and he told those two prisoners he needed two more. Carol or the baby?

Graves for T-Dog and the prisoner that tried to kill Rick maybe.

I think the two other prisoners are going to join the group but they’ll need to steer clear of Rick for a while yet. After all, it was the big black guy that saved Rick’s life.

I was reading posts on a board that discusses the show, and someone referred to the little guy as “General Custer.”

Now we get to look forward to Merle reuniting with Daryl...and with the new Rick, LOL.
