The Empty Chair Is Losing (Obama is headed for defeat in November and it won't be close)

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.

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

I didn't expect a full true-blue conservative (is if true-red now?), but I did expect him to be a Republican, and conservative on some/most issues, at the very least.

(Okay, obviously, at one point, I thought it might be Powell. If he ran for it, he would have be a formidable -- though flawed -- candidate.)

I hope that it is not close. I hope for an election result that is an unquestionable rebuke upon those who are working against America.

However, I will say it again, and again, until the election is secured, every conservative has to assume that it is we who are behind so there is no assumption of victory.

You cannot stay home on election night and you cannot allow anybody, who would vote conservative to stay home on election night.

Everybody’s perdicting, everybody’s wrong. You’ll see!
