If the electorate makeup really is only 74% white this time, then the Dem turnout will indeed be +7 or +9 on election day.

That means the worst President in the history of our country will enjoy a second term, and dozens of “pure conservatives” on here will be able to smugly say “I told you so”.

The polls are nothing but a joke when Soros’ spanish company is counting the votes.

Obama is a narcissus among his other failings. That could explain it, along with the expected thefts attempted by unions.

“Why Is Obama So Confident?”

Because he is completely out of touch with reality.

So, the author makes up Romney operating without confidence as proof he is not winning. Good grief. These people are delusional.

I’m a New Yorker and I let my subscription to New York magazine expire a few years ago. Even the New York Times is not as biased as New York magazine.

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

Classic! Is it OK if I remember that one and use it?

And I’m sure 88% of the vote will be fraud and unions will be busing members in every state to every other state too?

I swear people on FR love to either lose elections or have some fetish about imaginary invincible political machines at the DNC.

Why? Because he knows where, how and by whom the votes will be counted and he knows that there will be “just enough” for the win. After than, nothing will matter.

let’s not kid ourselves...he could win.

Particularly in light of the fact that nearly half of U.S. households receive federal benefits.

This election will not even be remotely close. Romney will win by more than 7%.

Let’s see: Magically found votes in basements closets and cars, dead voters voting, illegals voting, bought votes, etc etc.

Obama is confident because like all extreme narcissists he cannot convenience of the people rejecting his “brilliance”.

My concern is more demographics than it is fraud.

I'll tell you why Obama is so confident.

Because of how I saw Mitt Romney shit all over conservatives today, shutting them out of the primary process, that I GUAREN-DAMN-TEE you that if Romney DOES get elected, he will IMMEDIATELY appoint Obama to some Cabinet position.

Do you think Governor Mitt Romney hates this country? Mr. Barack Obama does! Do you think Mitt Romney detests capitalism, the same capitalism that earned him $300 Million or more? Barack Obama does! Do you believe that Mitt Romney would stop Israel from defending itself or stand aside while Israel is destroyed? Barack Hussein Obama would! Do you think that Mitt Romney would raise taxes and impose more red tape and restrictions on job creators, thus stalling the economy? Barack Obama already has. Do you feel that Mitt Romney wants to destroy the oil, coal and gas industries in the USA, thus putting us in the thrall of Islamic potentates who wish us to become Muslims? Barack Hussein Obama is well on the way to doing so. I could go on for hours. I’ve never had any love for Governor Romney, but when the choice comes down to either him or Barack Hussein Obama, a man dead-set on destroying my country, the country of my birth and whose uniform I proudly wore, there is no contest. And that is the choice. No third party or write-in candidate is going to be sworn in next January. As a disabled veteran, I humbly request that you prayerfully consider your position vis a vis the coming election and do what reason and faith tells you is the right thing for the United States of America. Thank you.

It seems to me anyone with half a brain can look at the Job Approval numbers and see Obama can’t be confident of winning.

I guess I am an angry white racist and bigot because I can’t stand Obama, Reid, and Pelosi.

So, basically, public polls are too Republican friendly and Obama’s camp is projecting an entirely different turnout model.
