Romney heading for a Landslide Win
The Washington Times ^ | Friday, October 12, 2012 | Wayne Allen Root

Posted on 10/15/2012 7:55:14 PM PDT by Senator Goldwater

The news media are ignoring signs of mass disgust with Mr. Obama. In the West Virginia Democratic primary, a felon got 40 percent of the vote against Mr. Obama. In deep-blue Massachusetts and Connecticut, GOP Senate candidates are even or leading in recent polls. In pro-union Wisconsin, Scott Walker won by a country mile.

In 2008, Democrats controlled a majority of governorships. Today, Republicans control the majority of governorships. Presidential elections are always steered in each state by the party of the governor, the most powerful force in state politics.

After the 2010 census, electoral votes were added to states that usually lean Republican in elections: Texas, Florida, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, South Carolina and Utah. Deep-blue states such as New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Massachusetts lost electoral votes.

Christians will turn out in record numbers this year. Mr. Obama has offended Christians repeatedly. Last election, 20 million evangelical Christians did not vote. They will turn out in record numbers in 2012 to defeat the most anti-Christian president in U.S. history. Just recall the long lines at Chick-fil-A in August.

Voter rolls have been purged in 2012 of felons and illegals in many states — particularly Florida and Ohio. Turnout of Democrats will be nothing like in 2008.

The “enthusiasm factor” for Mr. Romney is huge. Conservatives are focused, intense, motivated and enthusiastic. Democrats who turned out for Mr. Obama in record numbers in 2008 are demoralized. I know several people who voted for him in 2008 but won’t do so again.

Finally, history proves that a majority of undecided voters break for the challenger. Mr. Romney will take most of the undecided voters on Election Day — just as Ronald Reagan did against Jimmy Carter in 1980.

Just a note of caution....he is a former Obama classmate and is not exactly objective...very much against him.

That said, nice piece.

That can't be said too often. I lurked on Free Republic in'98, and I remember tons of "How sweet its going to be" posts. Mid term election jinx, plus second term jinx, plus major scandal jinx. How many seats would we gain in the House? Twenty was the consensus minimum. Instead we lost seats, because the Dems were not dreaming and posting -- they were working desperately to stave off defeat. They are this year too, and we have to out work them.

Agreed. Now is the time to double-down. Mention to strangers in the supermarket how you had hopes for Obama, but he's been a dissapointment. Little ripples of discontent that spread out on the pond of ideas.

Until I see OH consistently tracking Romney, I’m going to assume 0bama is going to win. The army of zombie 0bamabots is smaller than in ‘08, but they’ll still be plenty of them. To the low information voter, 0bama probably comes off as sincere, but misguided. Romney probably reminds them of a boss they once disliked. Historically, only once in the past 100+ years has a party not held the WH for at least 8 years. That of course was Carter. 0bama may be as bad as Carter, but Romney is no Reagan.

I’m not going to rest until this fight is over, but I think some people are whistling past the graveyard.

Keep your landslide theory to yourself so you don't dilute enthusiasm or voter turnout.
Use your energy to turn around the FACT that the Republican Senate Election effort is absolutely the WORSE run effort in recorded history. Makes you think the elite Republican establishment wants the Senate to stay in DemocRat hands to preserve the STATUS QUO with Harry Reid in charge.

Regardless or who is President, the Senate MUST be won and the House majority maintained or we get no where. Wake the track up!!

“Historically, only once in the past 100+ years has a party not held the WH for at least 8 years. “

Yes, remember when the polls all showed McCain was behind? We hoped the polls were wrong, but they turned out right.

It is very hard to unseat a sitting president. Even a total dweeb like Odumbo. We should brace for the worst.

No. That’s the reason I said ‘party’ instead of person. Nixon/Ford held it for 8 and of course REAGAN/bush held it for 12.

Following the Cleveland(D)-Harrison(R)-Cleveland(D) election results of the late 1800s, McKinnely/TR/Taft held the WH for the GOP for 16 years. Thereafter, Wilson/D/8 years. Harding-Coolidge-Hoover/R/12 yrs. FDR/Truman/D/20 yrs. Ike/R/8
JFK-LBJ/8., etc.

So history is on 0bama’s side sad to say.

My fear is that no matter what the polls indicate, it will not stop the liberals from using any means possible to win this election...they do not play be the rules...

Pray for the United States of America!
