I am averse to mindless optimism. It's a seductive form of denial, which is the most dangerous thing there is. However, the recent North Carolina vote rejecting same-sex marriage might be a forecast, heralding the rejection of decadence by the majority of Americans. I.e., it might be a sign that the American people have come to their senses.

Time will tell.

Actually Mr. Krabs would be the best choice, he’s a good businessman, and he served in the Navy.

The guy who was reportedly bullied has since passed away but family members are saying that this event never happened. Even the people who apparently first told this story are now saying they never actually saw the event. The story is starting to unravel.

Ras uses rolling 3-day which means Monday’s poll could be even uglier for Bobo. Like Moochelle ugly.

Had to suffer through PMSNBC for a bit last night. They were all having leg tingles over Zero's homo-lovin'. As far as they are concerned, this is Zero's Defining Issue and it will raise up an army of "young voters" to sweep him back into office.

This poll makes me smile.

It’s a seductive form of denial”

While that is generally true, those of us who are glad about this poll are not saying the election is over...all we are saying is that obama is not unstoppable. We have grown weary of the continual drumbeat of “Romney has no chance”. Mostly this comes from the crowd that STILL can’t believe that Palin isn’t running....(see your previous point about living in denial....).

I’d wager that no one at free republic has Romney any higher than their second to last favorite candidate of those who ran.

But to live in denial and say that he has no chance is a form of denial which is neither rational nor responsible.

Romney, with all his flaws, too many to even begin to name, has at least a 50% chance of winning...or to put it in terms that we like better, obama has at least a 50% chance of losing. And that is very important. An obama loss won’t save the republic, which is pretty well gone anyway. But it will slow the decline and those who deny that, are again, living in denial about the incredible harm that this pos has done to America.

Today is a bringer of good news to all realist-minded Americans. obama is NOT unstoppable!

“Its the economy stupid” is a good enough explanation for this poll result.

Obama is desperate to get our minds off the economic doldrums but they exist, even if gas prices have eased off a bit.

I won’t be voting for Romney but in a sense that doesn’t matter.

Obama’s base from 2008 is demoralized by the economic mess with higher food prices, gas prices and the lack of jobs hitting them worst.

Here in PA Romney is trying to turn Obama voters, particularly women, to his side. I know one woman (Obama 2008-registered D) who’s got two phone calls and two mailings aimed at her from the GOP-E Romney campaign.

Meanwhile, the Obama ad campaign is in full swing here in PA with the spots claiming the economy is coming back and Bin Laden is dead, so vote for Obama.

I guess you can say voters are not in a “gay” mood for Obama.

It wasn’t their votes but rather their (gay) money that Obama was after. Well he got it. Now let’s see if he can buy anything with that dough.

As I predicted, Romney got a bump from the gay marriage thing, but I think 6 months from now it will be inconsequential. Remember, polls are just a snapshot.

And when Romney is revealed, correctly, as the father of gay marriage at the state level, it won't matter at all.

Why does Scott Rasmussen always avoid the subject of the homosexual agenda like the plague? Not one mention of Homo-bama’s pervert pandering as a factor in his disapproval rating.

Look for many Democrats to jump ship. It’s now every man or woman for themselves. And.....If Governor Scott Walker, Wisconsin, wins his recall election, the bottom will completely drop out for the Democrat Party and...Obama will lose his re-election bid in massive fashion.

Voters of Wisconsin, the fate of the USA is in your hands. For the positive growth future of our great country, your children, your grandchildren, and...their children yet to come, vote for Scott Walker in the June recall Election and defeat big labor and Obama with a landslide victory for the great governor Scott Walker.
