I think every white person and every other skin tone to the right of Rahm Emanuel will show up, en masse, to eject Mr. Obama from office. But what do I know? Heck, there are people here that have NO PROBLEM with another term for Dear Leader.

So polls that have been oversampling Dems by 9-19 are too Republican friendly? These people are delusional.

Does anybody outside of the New Yorker’s staff really believe Obama is confident?

What is the author talking about?? How is obama acting confident? Constantly BEGGING for money, smaller crowds at rallies, desperate ads calling Romney a felon, murderer, etc. How is that confidant?

Why? Narcissism. Just like the other boy president.

They’re probably reading FR and actually think all the 3rd party supporters will produce a Clintonian plurality win for Baraq.

Calling Romney a felon, murderer.. Breaking protocol by campaigning during RNC.. Having to fundraise 24/7... Etc.

All these things do not project a confident campaign.

As seen on FR in recent times, the non-Democrat voters are split into groups that have come to dislike each other. Disagreement has become personal attacks. Zero knows that Romney cannot hold this together. Sooner or later, his true beliefs will come out and contradict his current statements, undermining him with one or more of these groups - about like the Akin incident.

Obama must live by “Fake it ‘til you make it”. Seems like he’s been faking for a long time.

This is a liberal spinning the spinning of the spinning of the numbers.

Obviously a liberal because he’s 180 degrees from reality.

Obama’s campaign is desperate ... you can smell the fear. Obama himself cannot imagine that The Won, Messiah to all would be turned out of office after only one term .... and he’s also thinking his black skin is a free pass on everything (and it has been/is with the media).

Romney’s pick of Ryan was bold, the sign of a leader .... and it’s proved to be a great pick.

I’m wondering if Mr. Chait has been spening too much time ‘not exhaling’ with “Mr. Choom” .... causes brain damage, you know.

Party votes is always around 90-10. Obama won by 7 when Independents went 52-44 for Obama last time. In that Washington Post poll just released, Romney lead independents 60-38 when undecideds weren’t included.

And that is all you need to know. Obama will need a 9-10 point Dem turnout edge to make this a toss-up. Not very likely considering he had +7 when he had the wind at his back in 2008. Karl Rove has been plotting the voter registration numbers and GOP is killing Dems since 2008.

Pending a colossal blunder/development, this race is already over.

Sometimes arrogance can be mistaken as confidence. That’s what is occurring here. Barry the Kenyan Guy thinks everyone on the planet loves and adores him. He sees himself as the new messiah.

Why’s Obama so confident?

Because he’s won every race he’s run through character assassination, and an incredibly powerful “thugocracy” of corrupt political machine members, criminals, and a fawning and corrupt ministry of propaganda, AKA “the media.”

He hasn’t even begun to “campaign” yet.

According to many of the professional pollsters on the idiot box, indies and undecided always break for the challenger in huge proportions, like 70/30.

I’d feel confident too, if I had the rebranded Acorn organization and MSM in my back pocket.

We have to beat them by the margin of vote theft.... and that ain’t +1.

Mediocre performance has never seemed to be a hindrance to his rise to academic success nor power in the past. He’s surrounded by a coterie of sycophants, and let’s not kid ourselves...he could win.
