If you follow the NFL, you know that Tim Tebow is now the starting quarterback (QB) for the Denver Broncos and even if you are geographically challenged you probably also know that Denver is in the state of Colorado.
And you also probably know Tim Tebow is extremely charismatic and religious and pro-life and leads a "squeaky-clean life and is very outspoken about his personal and religious beliefs.
And you probably also know he is as hated and despised by sports pundits as Sarah Palin is hated and despised by political pundits.
Well here is where the NFL intersects with 2012 presidential politics.
If you take the blue states and Colorado that President Obama won in 2008 you will come up with 260 electoral votes in Obama's column. This tally does not include the battleground states of Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, NC and Florida which in 2012 will amount to 86 electoral votes.
And I am not going to bury my head in the sand: Without Sarah Palin in the 2012 race, Mitt Romney is assured of the GOP nomination. And I am predicting in 2012 he will win all 5 battleground states.
And because of my prediction of Romney being the GOP standard-bearer next year, I am also going to predict Obama is going to win the state of Georgia (GA) by a narrow margin and capture its 16 electoral votes.
And the basis of my prediction is the growing population of Blacks and Hispanics in Atlanta since the last election and a less than stellar turnout among evangelicals who cannot bring themselves to vote for Romney because of his religion and his moderate views and Romneycare. But the statistical reason for my prediction is that unlike all other states with very high evangelical populations in comparison with the overall electorate where Obama lost by double digits in 2008, the Messiah only lost GA by 5.2% to McCain.
And ex Georgia GOP Congressman Bob Barr has also offered these sentiments. He of all people should know the lay of the land and how Georgians feel about Romney.
In other words even if Romney wins back all 5 battleground states under this scenario he will still lose even if Obama loses NH (4 EV) or Nevada (6 EV).
Imho, the only chance Romney has to beat Obama is he must win Colorado with its 9 EV.
And this where Tim Tebow comes in. Project ahead. Let's say Tebow takes the Denver Broncos to the playoffs this season (don't forget Tom Brady took over the 2001 Patriots at 0-2 who everybody thought were destined for the cellar after Drew Bledsoe was injured), he will have a tremendous amount of impact and sway on the thoughts and feelings of many Coloradoans. And that would be even more than he has now in Colorado.
And then project ahead a year from now where Tebow can do no wrong in Colorado and he does a political ad for a pro-life or conservative/religious group encouraging conservatives and evangelicals to get out and vote. Tebow doesn't have to come out and say he opposes Obama--the code language between evangelicals will be in play and that will be enough.
Will enough residents of Colorado vote for the GOP or vote when they weren't inclined to do so and tip the balance so that Romney wins Colorado and the 2012 presidential election?
Presidential Obama doesn't want to find out and neither does his team.
Imho, there will over the next year both a sporting and political effort by pundits and nefarious establishment and Leftist forces aided and abetted by the media (CNN and ESPN) to take down Tim Tebow and it could reach the point of threatening the owner or management of the Broncos with federal penalties or investigations if they do not see that Tebow fails in his effort to win football games or do not cut him from the team.
Obviously if Tebow is no longer the first-string QB or is cut from the team, he will no longer be a major threat to Obama in Colorado
And I would not put it past Team Obama and George Soros to try to bribe NFL officials to ensure that Tebow is more likely to lose than to win football games.
Team Obama knows: Lose Colorado and there is a good chance Obama will not get a second term.
Conservatives, it's time we all become Denver Broncos' fans.
For those who think I am insane, ask yourself is there anything Team Obama wouldn't do to ensure a second term for the Messiah?
I remember that old joke about a guy who got news he has an incurable life threatening disease -so he gets on his knees and prays :God— Just let me live long enough to see the Broncos’ win the Superbowl.” And he hears a voice from the heavens—it took a miracle to get them there when Elway was QB. Do you really expect to live long enough to see a repeat?
I cannot vote for Romney . Especially since Christie jumped on that bandwagon. A jack Mormon and an apostate Christian is two too many infidels for me to support in a government that has divorced itself from God already.
FYI, I was at the hotel in Redwood Shores where the Chiefs were staying last Saturday before the Oakland game. You will note that this is across the Bay from Oakland, well away from your typical Oakland fans. I am quite certain this was not by chance.
Going down to the lobby for breakfast and such a couple times Sunday AM, I was sort of wondering why there were all these well-dressed big young guys in the hotel mid-morning on a Sunday. After the 2nd trip downstairs, I looked out my window at the ballroom entrance, and there were three tour buses, two CHP escorts, and a big manager dude in a KC polo shirt counting noses as people loaded up. Shortly thereafter a guy came running out, he and the manager got on one of the buses, and the motorcade headed out.
Having been at Arrowhead when the Raiders are in town and having seen their fans, I would agree.
And at the end of the day it was well-dressed big young 28 and the Forces of Darkness zero.
Oh yeah, I was watching the Packers-Vikings game for most of my flight, which left about the time KC at Oakland was starting, and was not at all unhappy to see Oakland with a goose egg in the bottom of screen ticker the whole time.
Watching the Tv last weekend my wife asked me to call down to the Chief’s Arrowhead office and tell them that someone had stolen the Chief’s uniforms and gone out to Oakland and whipped the crud out of the Raiders.
Who were those guys and where were they the first three games?
Well let's not get overly excited. Their first three games were against teams that are currently 13 and 6. Their last three were against teams that are currently 5 and 16. I'm still going to be surprised if the Chiefs finish over .500.
That one could have a major impact on the other.
You can’t go just half way over to the dark side - someone with your screen name ought to know that.
Never was a Tebow fan( can’t stand UF), but he would be the best Prez out of those three. Heh.
Tebow does look good in comparison to Kyle Orton.
Sort of like a comparison of Romney and Obama. No, that doesn’t work, since Tebow is actually a quarterback, unlike Romney’s GOP credentials.
Bottom line: Tebow may very well one day become a good NFL QB, but the current Denver Broncos really, really stink. Chances of them making the playoffs — zero.
Kansas boy huh... I recall an old zotted by JR, homo loving troll that was from Kansas. Then he came back again with 2 new names drennanwhyte and kstater and was zotted again by JR. Your posts are almost identical as are your views. You’ve bashed Perry, Cain, Ryan, stuck up for the peace loving Muslims, jumped into birth certificate threads and War of Northern Aggression threads... you fool only the fools .....By the way, do you like sweet tea and/or grits?
Are we facing a ‘non sequitur’?
