For context, this post was created the day before the first presidential debate. The updates have been added progressively up to today, October 30.

"a “shellacking”"

Hopefully this will be more like a beautiful, watertight varnishing.

"just spell it all out how this won’t translate into another shellacking?"

This won't translate into another shellacking because we live in a totalitarian dictatorship/police state. Those who oppose a totalitarian dictator (or his police) do not get their way. They shellack no one.

a newbie and possibly a ramble rouser...welcome....nice to add your insights 6 days before the election...

[Vendome]

Welcome to FR nOOb...

[UCANSEE2]

I’d like to say welcome to the newbie rabble-rouser.

Welcome to FR.

No one knows the future, and those that tell you THEY do, are about as likely to be right, as you.

Had someone come out Sunday evening and said that Hurricane Sandy was going to take an immediate left turn for no reason... that poster would have been ridiculed to no end.

Good job of putting together some links and facts to support your opinion.

[DeprogramLiberalism]

I’d settle for plain ole white washing.

[DeprogramLiberalism]

So I'll put you down as pessimistic.

[DeprogramLiberalism]

Thanks for the welcome.

What’s a ramble rouser?

[DeprogramLiberalism]

Thank you for the welcome.

[freedomlover]

Nuke to solid glass would also work.

Out of orbit, of course.

[DeprogramLiberalism]

Thank you for the welcome. What’s with the rabble-rouser? Does that have some in-house meaning at FR?

As for predicting the future, that’s not really the purpose of my post. It’s more of a raw-raw, go-team sort of thing. (Although I do personally think it will be a shellacking.)

Good job of putting together some links and facts to support your opinion. Thank you.

What’s with the rabble-rouser? Does that have some in-house meaning at FR?

Not really. I'd just let it slide off my back like water off a duck.

[DeprogramLiberalism]

No problem. I describe myself on my blog as a polite polemist, but I can rouse it up with the rabble if need be.

Thanks for the links. I think you're being far too pessimistic, but then most people here think I've pulled my predictions off a crashed space alien .

I've been predicting for months, since before the conventions, that Obama would lose by 59% to 39% popular vote, and take 140 or less electoral votes.

Fat chance, everyone says. That 47% of government dependent people won't give up the freebies, they say.

There are some numerical clues, and some not so numerical, that I strongly believe support the tsunami prediction.

Obama took Independents by +8 points in 2008; Romney now gets the Independents by +14 (probably much more). That's at least a 22-point shift to the (R) for a full third of the voting populace from 2008.

Story after story supports my contention that the 2008 turnout among black voters is NOT going to happen again. Some predict levels like 2004 or 2000, and of those who turn out, Obama will NOT be getting 96% like in 2008. For instance, in NC Obama is getting less than 80% of the black vote. That alone spells a Democrat apocalypse. He had to pay people to come to his stupid convention, and then he had to bus them in from SC, then Atlanta, then Pluto, just to fill a down-sized event.

There's more, but I believe the midwest coal and rust-belt states are going to fall to Romney like a domino train.

It only becomes a shellacking if everyone does not assume a Romney win and remembers that we are voting against Obamalamadingdong and not for a third party that has a snowflake's chance in hell of winning, but will absolutely dilute the Romney vote. No need to send me nasty replies. I am a conservative which makes me according to DemocRats and Libertarians as a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, Muslim hater. Oh yeah, I'm also a Southern redneck which pretty much makes me hopeless. At least that what the people at the church tell me. Have a nice day, y'all.
