The Empty Chair Is Losing (Obama is headed for defeat in November and it won't be close)
American Thinker ^ | 09/14/2012 | William Gensert

Posted on 09/14/2012 4:21:49 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

President Obama is headed to defeat in November, and it won't be close. Forget about the polls, and forget about the cadre of delusional Democrats who can't stop telling us how great and successful the last three and a half years have been. Slick Willy can shill all he likes, but seriously, he's preaching to the choir, because the only ones believing his shtick are bought and paid for sycophants, crony capitalists, and members of the mainstream media.

Can you think of a single person who didn't vote for Barack Obama in 2008 but will vote for him this time around? Yet it is easy to find former minions admitting to the dissolution of their belief in the primacy of the "one." These people will not vote for him again -- and they are legion.

Pols like Bill Clinton say what they have to say, and election polls are often designed to say what the designers want them to say. But Americans, ever the social creatures they are, remembering the hopes and dreams they had for a better world in 2008 -- and the hopes and dreams they have today for a better tomorrow -- are reluctant to tell someone taking a poll that they don't like Barack Obama. It doesn't matter how well a case can be made against the man's disastrous and disgraceful leadership; guilt can often preclude telling a stranger they plan to vote against the black guy -- especially today, when all opposition to the president is framed as racist.

Yet, at some point, that curtain closes in the voting booth, and a decision has to be made as to which candidate is better for voters, their children, and the future of America.

New York city excitedly elected its first black mayor in 1989. Hhe did such a poor job that not only haven’t we had another since, but NYC has voted “R” for the past 20 years. One wonders what will happen in the wake of Obama.

In an INTELLIGENT Electorate it SHOULD be 80-20 Romney. Sadly 50% pay NO FEDERAL INCOME TAXES!!!! THAT’S why we have a 50-50 country!!!

Ohh, Yes, these mindless minions will vote for him again, it’s just ? unlike 4 years ago where they were so proud to declare it in public, now ? they will hide it and vote accordingly.

This time around all the hype is gone.
The manufactured Messiah image is gone except on the hardcore believers.

I think it is going to be a blowout of epic proportions

1) Obama’s support was MAXED-OUT last time- he got every vote he could possibly get because people were excited to elect the first black man - He has no where do go but Down.

2) McLame ‘s support was so weak only the addition of Palin kept it from being a blowout even moreso than it was. People were not excited to go vote for him. People may not be excited about Romney but they ARE excited to vote against Obama (a ham sandwich right now would get a significant number of votes) So.. there is nowhere to go but UP

It is even possible Romney might take NY or CA (my opinion only!) because he is NOT percieved there as a mean old right wing nutjob conservative by liberals, and Obama is such a total failure they may give him a try.

So... I am predicting Romney by 7 points

It is definitely in God`s hands.

We have to understand we`re up against a nationwide cult of personality. The minions who support 0bama love and worship him. He is their religion and their god. It`s wayyyy beyond agreement on matters of policy. They are emotionally wrapped up with him in very weird Chris Matthews-like ways. He could take the country off the fiscal cliff (which he most assuredly will if reelected), but these people simply cannot quit him. Don`t think for a minute they won`t show up in huge numbers for him again.

Our hope..our ONLY hope.. is turnout. We MUST prove the pollsters and pundits wrong at the voting precincts on election day. There`s no room for apathy or disgruntlement this time around.

It’s really too bad that the first black president wasn’t a conservative.

Of course, 0bama’s skin color made him the perfect cypher for a fully indoctrinated Marxist to achieve the presidency and be shielded from criticism of his beliefs and policies.

The key is how many of his supporters Zero can turn out. There’s a LOT of people who voted for the messiah in 2008 who are fed up with him now and simply won’t vote at all.

" Romney needs to get the economy back in focus and fast. "

Yes, that is true.... however ?

At this point in time ?

What issue has taken the front seat of urgency ?
Both issues, the economy and what is happening in the middle east and the world is just as equally important.
What goes on in the middle east and the world does effect out economy.
This is a very sensitive fine line tight rope balancing act that Romney needs to perform, and perform perfectly.
IF ?
He goes back and starts talking about the economy again ?
The MSM will criticize him of being out of touch of what is happening in the middle east... see ?
He's struck between a rock and a hard place.
The MSM knows exactly what they are doing and how to manipulate, mold and shape the sheeples way of thinking and opinion.

Romney seems like the kind of guy who can handle foreign policy AND the economy at the same time. It's the kind of multi-tasking that is an absolute requirement for the job of POTUS, and it is an ability for which the muslim usurper is completely lacking.

I am not questioning Romney's ability to multitask and handle both issues.... what I am talking about is how the MSM will mold and shape the people's thinking and opinion that he's out of touch if he goes back and focuses on the economy again.
The sheeple ( not talking about informed conservatives ) who turn on the TV every night to see what's happening on America got talent or Dancing with the Stars have no glue of what is going on until they turn the channel to NBC, CBS, CNN and are spoon feed what Wolf Blitzer tells them what is so.

I'm hoping November 6 will be like July 26, 1943 in Italy--the day after Mussolini was overthrown. On that day, you could travel from Marsala to Brenner and not find an Italian who would admit to having been a Fascist.

I predict that you will see only the very slightest of undoing under Romney

That's my opinion too. He's already talking about taking 2 years to get the budget in order. In 2 years, there's another election. He should make cuts immediately (regs and $) and allow the markets to correct before getting back into more elections (imo). Any cuts will be painful for a while but need to happen soon or they never will.

Me too. But that total number has to be somewhere around 4 m. There is a net GOP gain in numbers of voters taken off the rolls of 714,000. Obama won by 9m votes. Figure this time 1 m Obama voters stay home (low, but let’s be conservative). So that brings us to 7.2m magic number, meaning you have to flip 4m votes nationally. Now, when you just start with Republicans (15-25%) who voted for him, you shave another 1m off. So iI figure Romney has to flip just over 3m indies nd Dems net.

My scan of the postings to leftist or Lame-stream articles continues to show an overwhelming distaste for the O’crapper Administration.....I think O’Romney will manage to not screw up enough to win and it will be Akin by 10 in MO to the chagrin of the FR Rovian club!

I remember that, too. There was a disbelieving bunker mentality here on FR, right up to the end.
The enemedia might be using the polls to manipulate the public, but you can’t disregard them.

Exactly. Focus on the bad economical figures and TIE IT TO OBAMA’S POLICIES AND SPENDING.
Yes foreign policy matters but most Americans are more concerned with their lack of work and ability to afford food and gas.
