Willard Mitt Romney Fillmore....

If you don’t believe rigid mathematical formulas can tell you who will win a presidential election — and I don’t — you should be even more dubious about hunches divined from a stray incident or two. So why do I have the feeling that just such an incident--OK, make it four--made last week a very bad one for President Barack Obama’s re-election prospects? Because they connect to much bigger problems that go to the heart of the Obama campaign’s arguments for a second term. Moreover, the time to repair these problems is rapidly running out. Let’s take the first event, which on the surface may seem ludicrous: the Empty Seats in Columbus.

Instead of a skit making fun of Obama, SNL had a skit making fun of “Fox & Friends” for their reaction to how Obama was exploiting the OBL anniversary (I didn’t watch the program but watched part of it as an online video...lame and repetitious).
Chaos in the streets will not make him seem presidential. It will accentuate his thuggishness. These chaotic occupiers are his ragtag army of thugs.
It’s dangerous to compare electoral results between different countries, but the recent wave of elections in Europe should give Obama pause. Common theme: throw the bums out. Some countries went liberal (if they had been center-right); others went right (if they had been left).
At the very least it helps to show that Obama has a problem with ‘enthusiasm’.
The fact that media libs like Greenfield are even discussing that their candidate is flawed is a change from 2008-2010.
What the media and Obamabots can’t escape is that the economy still sucks and Obama has already taken credit a few times for bringing it back from the brink so it flies in the face of the “It’s Still Bush’s Fault” 2012 campaign meme to say, four years down the road, that you’ve made the case for another four years.
For all the strikes against Mitt Romney, he has one credential that even us conservatives can grudgingly admit. Romney has been a successful businessman. The only thing Barack Obama has successfully run is his mouth.
If Romney has the courage to say the difference between him and Obama is that he has run profitable businesses and worked to balance not only a business balance sheet but a state’s budget, that’s going to impress a lot of people who aren’t particularly into R’s and D’s.
Can Romney sell himself and can Romney close the sale? That’s all that’s left to wonder because most people already know what they are getting with Obama and most are looking around for somebody more competent. All Romney has to do is convince most Americans that he’s that guy.
Chaos in the streets will be bad for Obama. He has made statements supporting the OWS crowd. The Silent Majority will vote against him in droves, if chaos in the streets is televised on national TV, especially at the conventions.
1972-McGovern supported the anti-war left. Results:
Nixon: 49 states
McGovern 1 state

The problem is, he has to make it look like the protest is against Romney, not him. That will be a tough sell to the public, who understand that whatever has happened the last four years are on Obama not Romney, no matter how much the thugs rant and rave.
It is not wise to be an agitator when you are the one in power and the obvious culprit of whatever people think is wrong.
no, I think he will be blamed
I saw my tagline as a bumper sticker.
More and more people are blaming him.
