I think winning Pennsylvania could be possible only with a 3-4 points advantage nationally. Which doesn’t fit with most of the national polls (except Gallup) but could be the case if the 50-46 in the Rasmussen swing states tracking poll would be accurate. In that case anyway I think the election would be pretty straightforward.
I mean if Romney wins a blue state like PA he’s going to have a landslide.
Here in Italy I think politically we’re beyond help. Our center-right caolition vanished and we don’t even know who we could vote for in each camp in next year election.
But I can tell You one thing: the path you’re on, the government spending, the government running economy more and more, the debt over 100% of the GDP is very same path that brought us where we’re now. I can tell you it doesn’t work, jobs and economy dependent on government money are affordable only in the short-medium term.
I remember Margaret Thatchet once said: The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.
And Thatcher was right. We on FreeRepublic are fully aware that Obama intends to take us down the same route as the socialist leaders in Europe, a path of debt and decline. We’re going to go all out this election to prevent that, because we know that after Obama gets the welfare state up and running.... then the Muslims begin to pour in. We’ve seen it inflicted upon Europe in the most terrifying away, Swedish women raped, Danish cartoonists stabbed. We won’t let that happen to America without a fight.
I have heard about the ‘Northern League’ in Italy, who were part of Berlusconi’s right wing coalition, the most conservative of its members. Are they a viable political force, or just a fringe separatist movement? It would be good if Italy had a freedom party like the Netherlands, who would put Italians first, and make the tough decisions.
