I wonder if, in the case of a Romney popular vote victory today, if anyone will take the opportunity to remind the Progressive folk that if their National Popular Vote Bill kicked in today, then 132 of Obama's Electoral Votes would STILL go to Romney. (HI, CA, WA, IL, MD, DC, NJ, MA, and VT) Instead of this predicted 325-213 solid spread for Romney, it would become a 457-81 slaughter. And even worse for them, it could be pointed out, even if Obama found the extra X-million votes to be the popular vote winner, he would gain exactly ZERO Electoral Votes from that very same bill. Their minds will explode, and then they will quickly scream for that bill to be repealed in those 9 states. (The pact is NOT in force today because the signatory states do not yet total half of the available EV's... "only" 25% right now.)

But sadly, this post is irrelevant. I think the Chicago machine is in full force for today and tomorrow, with the help of numerous national and international bodies, and they'll do enough "creative" work to steal yet another one.

I predict a Romney win with 273 EC votes.
Yes it SHOULD be higher, but sadly, it won’t.
Not with all the increases in those on the government dole.

That reminds me of one of the stories from James Herriot ("All Things Wise And Wonderful").

A young hottie farm girl, whom Tristan takes a fancy too. Standing between them is the veritably named Mr. Mount:

"...a veritable massif of a man towering several inches over six feet. From shoulders like the great buttresses of the fell which overhung his farm rose a beetling cliff of head with craggy outcrops of jaw and cheek and brow. He had the biggest hands I had ever seen—approximately three times the size of my own."

After a number of misadventures, Tristan mentions casually that he would not be dating her anymore.

"Seems her father has forbidden it."

Read the whole thing here at Chapter 30.

Cheers!

Thanks for posting this. Have been praying all night. I can’t sleep as I am so worried about my country, if Obama manages to steal a win.

FEMA is always going to be a problem. You don't find highly qualified people lining up to be appointees in that agency ~ and when it comes to the Obama regime they had the smallest number of capable people ever seen. They had a good number of huffers and puffers but no one who has done stuff and knows what to do anywhere.

Obama probably imagined he'd solved the FEMA problem by rounding up a bunch of appointees with even less talent and experience than the ones George H W Bush put in the agency's top jobs ~ but that's not what happened at all.

Best bet is to abolish the national level of the agency and turn it into a funding mechanism for state emergency management agencies.

100% correct. First we have to get rid of Obama. Then our work on keeping Romney on the right path begins.

“The traitors in the MSM should be put on trial after the election.”

Just put them out of business by not watching them. Let them be stripped of their camera’s and microphones and forced to become bloggers with 12 readers.

“Me? Once again I have compromised my principles. Screw it. It ain’t the first time for me.

How about YOU?”

Really?! Okay, here are the choices I’ve had for President since I became eligible to vote:

Bush v Dukakis
Bush v Clinton v Perot
Dole v Clinton v Perot
Bush v Gore
Bush v Kerry
McCain v Obama
Romney v Obama

I missed my chance to vote for Reagan by 2 years. Everyone in their mid 40s and younger has never had the opportunity to vote for a real conservative for President.

I’ve voted for the more conservative man each time. Call it comprimising principles, but imagine what the country would be like if Obama had “inherited” it from Dukakis, Clinton, Gore and Kerry rather than Bush, Clinton and Bush.

“100% correct. First we have to get rid of Obama. Then our work on keeping Romney on the right path begins.”

That’s exactly right. When we win elections (say 2010), one can have the tendency to think, OK, now I can return to my ‘normal’ life, when then is the time to stay engaged in the process. If it’s not clear today - enthusiasm about basic, better principles is what will win electoral success, and restore this once great country.

I would add, given a Romney win, it’s going to still be a really, really rough road ahead with all of the dead we’re under the pile of, and how beholden the economies are to the banksta class that controls us all ultimately with debt based paper (fiat) money (see the Federal Reserve Act of 1913....)

That’s kida my whole point. The reason that you have had these choices is precisely because the conservative voters fall right in line with the RINOS and vote Republican no matter who the nominee is.

Every single one of these years we have had good, conservative canidates and they always cannibalize each others votes and the RINO wins the nomination. We especially, I think, had several great conservative choices this year. Not perfect...but better than what we got.

I sure don’t know the answer. After I voted for McCain I felt like I had betrayed my principles. And I said “never again”. Well here it is 4 years later and once again here I am.

What’s the definition of insanity?

No. Never again. I voted my conscience, someone I'm not ashamed to tell the Lord why I voted for him.

Not to worry, if history repeats itself, the vunerables will burn their own homes, buisnesses and cars.

LOL. If Morris was good at predictions, we’d have President Hillary Clinton defending against Romney in this election after having defeated Giuliani in 2008.
