Barring some truly Earth-shifting event(s), Obama’s done. He knows it and his supporters know it.
Well I don’t think the EV vote will be as skewed as 88, the way the population is now distributed I think its going to be next to impossible to get something like 88 or 84 ever again, however the overall pouplar vote I believe will be on par with a 72 or 84 or 80.
LIke I said, this guy is looking at a CARTER style loss, but without the 3rd party candidate. An unprecidented loss for a sitting president in the modern era.
Fact is the electorate has made up its mind, and the ABO voters and motivation are such that no way in hell he can win. He’s got a MAX, and that means no mistakes, number of 42-43%, and he’s not going to be able to pull it off.
He’s attempting a balkanization approach, just today with his embracing of Gay Marriage, something he’s always done but never said before.. he hopes that will buy him some base motivation, but the problem is, those for that cause were already voting for him anyway. He’s going to do anything to try to get motivation behind him, which isn’t going to work, he’s going to openly embrace every leftist stand he can.. he truly believes the contry wants a leftist government.
He completely fails to understand that his victory in 08 was more about depressed republican turn out, and disgust with BUSH than anything else.. he’s doubling down on a strategy that will get those who supported him a bit more jazzed, but its going to further the resolve of those against him, and make the ABO voters swell.
He’s getting bad advice from a closed self feeding loop. Today he basically nationalized the gay marriage debate, and while that will help him in CA and NY, its not going to help him in much of the rest of the country...
Get ready for a vey nasty election cycle.
Obama is very likely done. I would be shocked if he could pull off even enough tricky crap to pull this election out. Why not be a martyr for the extreme Left, go out as a kick butt Marxist like “the little engine that tried”?
Did you catch Morris tonight on O’Reilly, saying the ONE has painted himself into a Lefty corner, one that will lose him some votes among Hispanics, over the embrace of the gay marriage thing.
