A prediction !

Late next week after the landslide win by Romney,
Obama resigns making Joe (The Buffoon) Biden acting president for the remainder of his term.
President Biden's first Oder of business, gives Obama a pardon aboiding prosecution for the Bengazi cover up !

I truly think Obama is going to win
it was close but he is getting good press from the hurricane and will come out ahead. O - 52%, R - 48%

I predict Obama wins a narrow electoral victory. A lot has to go right for Romney to pull it off, he needs just aout all of the swing states.

Benghazi should have doomed his re-election. 4 Americans are dead, and at least 2 of them would still be alive had McCain won in 2008. I have never, ever, not once, seen the media bury a story like they buried this.

I don't get it. But I'm glad as hell I didn't have to serve under this incompetent Bolshevik jerk.

Lets not count Mitt out yet....even tho the liberal pollsters have Obama ahead by 7 or 8 points it is said that they have called more dems then repubs....also keep in mind that gun enthusiast have purchased over 4 million guns just this year because of obama wanting to band certain guns and obama is for the U N to control guns of U S citizens...could be gun owners in the states that put Mitt in the oval office

Also I really do not think that obama, going to jersey helped him that much if at all....it is about time that he is doing his job...there will be a lot of people that can not rebuild....they will not be able to afford 2 mortgages...they that have a mortgage will not be able to carry 2 mortgages especially they that R elderly...why do U think Louisiana is still not rebuilt from Katrina....remember the government will give low interest loans...can U afford 2 mortgages?

Mitt Romney is going to win by a big margin.
Those of you who say Obama will win,
Show me 1 person who voted for McCain last election and plan to vote for Obama this time.
The media is bias for Obama.
They use data from democratic turnout of 2008, not going to be close to that same turn out this time.
Every poll the numbers are scewed of more dema polled compared to repubs.
It's going to be a landslide win for Romney

Ronnie, I dont get your post. McCain lost so why would it matter if those people will vote for Obama? I dont think Romney will sway independents in the swing states. He doesnt have the momentum, he is still not popular. I dont see a Romney win and I am ignoring polls.

My point.
Millions and millions of voters drank the Obama Cool aid of Hope& Change the last time.
Those millions & millions are out of work, making less , certainly not better off 4 years later, add in this Bengazi cover up, those people are saying screw Obama and will vote for Romney.
How many voted republican last time and say I'm better off today than 4 years ago and will jump on the Obama wagon ?
Unless you are on the hand out bus , no one will be switching to Obama.

I too predict a large Romney win.

Obama's Loss: Inevitable for Years


By C. Edmund Wright

<some snipping done ( . . . )>

Do not be seduced by the disproportionate emphasis on recent events with regard to Barack Obama's pending landslide loss. I submit that a more sober analysis indicates that November 2012 has been inevitable for at least four years. In some ways, it's been inevitable for even longer than that.

You see, Barack Obama and his statist agenda have failed because they could not possibly succeed. In a way, electing Obama was liberal America's dash off a cliff -- and the 2012 election is merely the day they officially make contact with the ground. There has been no other outcome possible. . . .

The next thud you hear will be the unhappy realization of this fact from many on the left. Their philosophy works only in theory and never passes the reality of human nature.

Obama has been like Wile E. Coyote in animation -- sort of running in place, with no foundation underneath him since his '08 campaign. Only the David Axelrod cartoon world of astroturfed events and issues, supported by a fawning media, has kept him suspended this long. The crash will happen because it has to happen.

Why? Consider:

Everything Obama and his cohorts in the media, academia, union halls, Congress, and the crony capitalist world believe in is fraudulent. There was never going to be any economic recovery on their watch because they haven't the foggiest how an economy works. There was never going to be any newfound love of America overseas because they have no clue what it is about America that has made us the shining city on a hill in the first place. There was never going to be any job-creation because no one in Obama's bubble has ever created one. There was never going to be any racial reconciliation because Obama was a post-racial fabrication of perverted white guilt and black rage. There was never going to be a pristine future powered by windmills and solar panels because neither the business nor the scientific model for such technologies shows any possibility of success. There was no way Obama would do a good job, because he's never had a real job. . . .

This was all true on November 5 of 2008, and not a thing has changed about the reality of it in the past four years. It is what it is. Obama was preordained to install radical feminists, hardcore communists, environmental wackos, and anti-business activists into positions of power. Meanwhile, the Congress of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid was equally destined to pass legislation that destroys freedom and rewards cronies and armies of bureaucrats. We were certain as a nation to suffer the cataclysmic effects of misguided liberalism as a result. It does not matter a whit that the specifics of ObamaCare, the suit against Boeing, the Gulf moratorium, Dodd-Frank, and the canceling of Keystone were not known at the time. It is not relevant that names such as Van Jones, Cass Sunstein, and Anita Dunn were not familiar in 2008, either. Every one of these policies, and every one of these people, was utterly predictable. . . .

This is who Obama is. These people are who Obama is. There is no way around it, and there never has been. . . .

And the ironic thing is, as the inevitability of Obama's defeat seeps in a little deeper each day, certain recent events are pointed to as the reasons. These recent events are important, but they are not causal. To buy into this analysis is to confuse the symptom with the disease. Obama did not lose the election in the Denver debate. He did not lose the election in Roanoke with the "build that" speech. He did not lose the election with the disaster in Libya. Denver, Roanoke, and Libya all happened because of who Obama is. They are not events that happened "to him." If it hadn't been these specific events, it would have been others. He is who he is, and after four years in office, there was never going to be any escaping that. The real Obama, exposed, would never be accepted by a majority of Americans.

He never really was. There were signs of buyers' remorse immediately. Obama started losing this election in late '08, before he was inaugurated. Business owners, knowing Obama better than conservative pundits, shed 2 million jobs in 90 days starting in November of 2008. Those jobs are still gone, and they still matter today. Georgians, fearing a liberal Senate, gave Saxby Chambliss an overwhelming ideological victory in a special election in December of '08 -- days after we supposedly saw the end of conservatism. Those were both anti-Obama developments. Every development since his election has been anti-Obama. Let those who have eyes to see....

In 2009, Obama lost surrogate elections in New Jersey and Virginia. In early 2010, he lost a big one in Massachusetts, and late in 2010 he lost almost a thousand total elections nationwide. In 2011 he lost in Wisconsin -- again. Obama and the liberal statists have been hurdling towards a giant thud almost since the day they won in 2008. Yet they have refused to recognize it even as they have hit all kinds of bumps on the way down.

To many of us, this has been obvious for years. Maybe the only viable alternative -- the end of America -- was just too painful to contemplate. Or perhaps, living in reality and not inside the isolated world of Washington, we just get it. At any rate, Obama has been a dead candidate walking since he won election. Tuesday is merely the unavoidable conclusion.

You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.

Good points Fly Rod. I keep hearing that all the polls are over-sampling democrats. And yu knwo what? i have not heard one of those polls deny that charge. Here's a good analysis by Karl Rove, who predicted an Obama electoral rout 4 years ago...

Jimmy, I htink you're off a bit...Romney is doing well with independents (maybe not well enough) and Romney has a lot of momentum. He has gained ground in every poll since the first debate.

Here's how he knows...because conservatives almost never resort to violent anarchy. That's what liberals do when they aren't getting their way, not conservatives. PaulS, if you owned a restaurant, who would you want setting up camp acros the street - the Tea Party, or Occupy Wall Street.

And liberals do have more money than conservatives. Look where the liberal strongholds are - west coast and new england. Conservatives are mosty middle America and the rural South.

I don't know that anybody is going to "win" this one. May make Bush/Gore look like a walk in the park. You know, it is possible to tie the electoral college, but I think Romey just booted Ohio with his Jeeps in China fiasco.

Paul, good to see you back on line. Somebody said to look for you here. Let me know if you need anything down there. May be down to see my brother later today since he is still without power.

Heard some further confirmation of what I have been suspecting for a while now. Basically the electorate is very split "idealogically" (most significant difference in candidates in some time) and the numbers are so close to 50/50 that no matter who is in the White House the country itself will be very split over the next four years. Split mostly by race says the numbers I have been hearing, but I bet there are some other splits there that the talking heads are loath to discuss (e.g. economic and level of education, and ...etc.).

Are conservatives taking up arms to better their own way of life or others? Or attempting to aide others? How many liberals no voted Afghanistan and Iraq two senators definitely approved the vote Biden and Obama
