You are one of the posters who knew this was coming. Both of us have been minorly flamed suggesting that beating Obama will be a huge challenge.

At this point, if I was handicapping, I’d make Obama 3:2 favorite.

Been trying to tell people the same thing. Yet it seems like the majority here on FR have managed to convince themselves Obama could not be re-elected - even though polling actually shows him faring remarkably well considering what a terrible job he has done. This absurd, echo chamber fantasy that Obama is going to be so easy to beat that we can just run anybody is absolute foolishness. Obama will be extremely difficult to defeat, he will get no less than 45% of the vote and is more likely to get closer to 50% of vote. IF we win in 2012, it will probably be by a very slim margin.

From what I hear people say, and what I read, you’re on the money.

The simple reason is that several GOP candidates’ cults, have been using Alinsky tactics against other Republicans.

Instead of against the left.

Ignoring Reagan’s 11th Commandment.

Reagan was right.

When people have been asked to vote, in 2009 in Virginia and New Jersey, the elected Repubs. In 2010 we had the largest group of Republicans in local,State and national races elected in 70 years. I see a trend and will go with the trend in 2012.
People forget the group that elected Obama was not the young as they always support the commie it was the old who thought they needed a change. You will not find very many old people supporting this sad excuse of President in fact they feel awful for voting for him in the first date.

My favorites are the posters who think their local dogcatcher could beat him
