Five Ways that Barack Obama Could Win A Second Term

Illinois Review ^ | February 6, 2012 A.D. | John F. Di Leo

The Democrats have done the damage they’ve done incrementally; we cannot expect to elect some superhero who can wipe out a century of villainy in a single term. We must change the country’s direction – pulling back from the cliff and setting back on the right course – and we must use the same incrementalism to move back toward the economic prosperity and cultural honor as the Framers designed for us.

This passage runs entirely against the main thrust of the article -- that Republicans just need to hold together around whoever gets the nomination. If the nominee is not inclined to dispute Obama's policies during the general campaign, then what mandate will he have should he pull-out a narrow victory?

"Option Five: The Republican Base Sits It Out => not a chance."

I respect your opinion, but disagree. After this weekend's "annoiting" of Romney I began to do some serious thinking. If Romney will not repeal ObamaCare, I think the economy is going to tank anyway - and Republicans will be blamed, giving us 20 years of Democrat control of Congress and the White House.

If we cannot nominate a candidate willing to do what is necessary to save the country, do we want to take ownership of this disaster?

If Romney wants my vote, he will have to convince me he is going to make things BETTER.

I live in hope that my perediction - it will be a brokeraged convention and the eventual nominee hasn't entered the race - will come true.

On the bright side, I am in Maryland - so it doesn't much matter who I vote for. Obama could be found with the poverbial dead girl or live boy in his bed and he would still carry this state. How soon can I retire and move?

ALL of your points were proved wrong in 2008. The base is fractured and millions will never vote for romney... he will be worse than obama and for reasons that I have stated on other threads today.

53.8% voted for obama because they want a socialist America... and they still want a socialist America and they will vote for him again. Some of them are wait for it... republicans.

Obama doesn’t need to do anything to win, if Republicans nominate Romney. We will win it for him.

I’ll list them.

1. Fraud
2. Fraud
3. Fraud
4. Fraud
5. Corruption

HSBC, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Paypal, aren’t laundering money from stolen identities for nothing you know.
