RE :”How do you find those old posts? It certainly gives us some perspective. I was actually confident in 2008 that McCain would win based on all the posts here that “the poll internals are skewed!” Interesting that you managed to match post and poster from 2008 to 2012, and the content was almost identical.”

Thanks, I appreciate your comment. You are very helpful.

In 2008 I posted here that McCain would lose, as some on this ping have seen.
Researching old comments is a skill I learned just because you got so many that come on here and arrogantly proclaim to me that they know the future, and I am wrong. That poster motivated me to do a time travel back to 2008 by including me in his ping to his totally ridiculous comment .

For those who missed it, I was pinged here: #94 and responded here:#109 Enjoy :)

He gets my award for the ‘live one of the day’ LOL

There is a dynamic with Romney vs Obama that I never saw in the McCain vs Obama campaign season 2008.

More people are seeing the reality of what Obama is. In 2008, nobody gave a S what he was. He was considered to be Black, and that’s all they needed to know. Yes, I know, but it’s true.

Obama’s not getting a free ride this year. The Left and the DNCp are tossing the image out there, that he is unbeatable, but I don’t believe it for a second.

If you’ve been out of work long enough to have exhausted your unemployment, you’re going to look long and hard at this guy.

If the polls are true, there is a disconnect that is one of the biggest disconnects in human history. People would have to be voting against their own self-interest to back this guy. I’m just not convinced that’s going to happen.

Look, I could be wrong, but I still predict a Reagan level whomping of Obama. I think it’s going to be at least a 55/45 victory for Romney/Ryan, and I’ve been saying so for the last month to six weeks.

If I’m wrong, I’ll take my lumps, but that’s my take on it and it remains unchanged.

This is why I trash the polls. They just sound idiotic to me. It’s like watching a movie with the wife, and I rattle off the whole plot to follow, after only seeing five minutes of the movie. You don’t have anything to point to, but your gut tells you what is more than likely to take place in the way of a plot.

Years ago my wife went to go see Thelma and Louise with a friend. She couldn’t figure out why I didn’t want to go see it. After she came home I told her exactly what I thought the plot was.

I hit all major plot points for the movie including a sexual attack, shooting the perp, and their demise at the end. It as a cinch it was formulaic, and that forumla would be shallow and geared to touch on women’s hot button issues.

That’s what I see the media doing this year. It’s a grade D movie, and it can’t end any other way than with Romney walking all over Obama on election day.

We’ll see.
