Give Carter every vote for John Anderson and Reagan still cruises across over the finish line with 299 electoral votes, including the swing state trifeca of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.

Paul Ryan was on “Fox & Friends” this morning responding to recent attacks by Obama. He pointed out the absurdity of calling something a “cut” when you are just not increasing it as much as someone else wants to.
Sounds like the “Rats” are starting to form a circular firing squad.
—What’s going on with Carville?—
The last five or six presidential election cycles I’ve noticed a tendency of the press to start writing the obituary of the losing party, only to switch the party name on the obituary four or eight years later.
IOW, Meh...
Correct. And Reagan played that masterfully. Remember the first debate when Reagan and Anderson debated with an empty chair for Jimbo?
Then, having shown his gentlemanly sense of fair play by supporting Anderson's inclusion in the first debate, Reagan went on to clean Carter's clock in the next two.
Nevertheless, even if Jimbo had picked up every vote for John Anderson, it would not have even come close to changing the election results. At best, Jimbo would have picked up 2 or 3 more New England states.
>>He wrote a book, in which he wrote that Democrats were poised to rule for the next 40 years. Now he’s one of the ones who is panicked about this election??? How can that be???
People only vote liberal after they’ve been through a decade of Pax Republicana.
As for the press, they will certainly do exactly as you say. They will deliver their drooling maniacal support on queue at the proper time. But by “turning” on Obama now, they can later peddle the lie that they are “objective.”
Also, by turning on barry now they can connect with the morons who can not help but notice that Obama is flushing this country down the toilet. If they only parrot Obama’s outrageous lies about the economy, there is a chance that even their lonely two little brain cells will recognize the monstrous disconnect between the White House message and reality. It keeps the idiots ready to believe the upcoming whoppers.
Barry will have an astonishing “come back” in the polls scheduled for September. Count on it.

Well, that opens up another issue. Americans, on average, don’t understand the nuances in democrat speak. To the dems, maintaining current spending levels is a cut, because they want an increase. It’s alright to point out this difference, but many Americans won’t grasp it.
OTOH, that also implies maintaining current spending levels may be all right with some republicans. And that’s its own problem. What we really need is deep cuts in spending, along with a reduction in taxes. But how many congressional repubs will go along with that?
If Democratic loyalists had any logic they would panic about hime being reelected.
Massachusetts was an extremely close Reagan win in 1980. Anderson may have made the difference also in Maine, Vermont, and Connecticut. Rhode Island went for Carter despite Anderson. New Hampshire went to Reagan by a larger margin than Anderson's votes.
What a campaign theme! “We’ll do better next time.”
He has one more: Race riots if he is dumped.
there are some posters [mostly noobs] who say they'll not vote in order to ... get this now... in order to minimize the mandate romney will claim after his win.
Panic? What do they have to panic about? He's way too articulate to lose.
Considering the source and the timing I'd say you're right on the money. This is not the time for our side to lose steam and think we'll coast to a win. This will be a very close election.
The only way the Dem Elite could force Obama out of the election is with a bullet... And that is the scenario that scares me the most.
The “lone assassin” will, of course, be a “right-wing racist nut” and inspired by “an atmosphere of hate.”
Obama’s stand-in will win in a landslide and have free hand to do what ever it takes suppress such “hate.”
Prayers for the vigilance and dedication of Obama’s security details...
So 0bammy will go from trying to kill off the middle class through class warfare to making a better future for it? Hussein is totally incompetent, a committed socialist and a liar. What makes the dim "braintrust" think ANYONE would believe his message?
Rush had a piece from the NYTimes months ago where it said ZEro was going to ignore the working groups and middle class and run to the extremes of poverty and wealth.
And his middle name will be "Earl".
