It’s a loser’s strategy because the is NO way to defeat 0bama. At first I though Romney would win, but then I looked at the state of the nation and believe no one can defeat 0bama and believe another Republican will NEVER be elected again. Even Ronald Reagan would lose to 0bama today. There are several reasons why.

1) This no where near the same country it was 1980. Patriotism is no existent. More and more Americans hate their country and agree with 0bama apologetic attitude. Education has been decline for 40 years and alot of dumbed down people now vote.

2) Image/Celebrity. Modern media has changes Americans outlook. The issues don’t matter (economy, gas prices, etc). What does matter is image. 0bamam is the American Idol President. Job approval does not matter. Favorability/Popularity does matter and 0bama is still overwhelmingly popular. People like his cool, fist bumping, hip hop image. They love his wife and her carefully structured appearances on Leno, Letterman and ICarly. To America, this a cool couple to have in the White House. Mitt and Ann Romney are just too square and too white to win people over.

3) Minorities. They dominate the electoral landscape. Blacks and Latino’s hate Republicans. A vast majority of them either promote a criminal lifestyle or demand free food and housing. 0bama promises this to them and plus the see him as one of them.

Mark my words, although in a sane world 0bama should lose in a landslide, the opposite will happen. He will win in a landslide. I do think Romney will do two states better than McCain (picking up NC and IN) but everything else 0bama won in 2008 will go for 0bama again, by a bigger margin. Even if Romney outdoes 0bama in the debates, it doesn’t matter. The articles and post debates scripts are already written and they all say 0bama won the debate and that is how people will make up their minds,

I think now 0bama will win 56% -59% of the popular vote.

Any talk of a Romney win is whistling past the graveyard.

I respectfully disagree.

On one condition: The GOP must stop whining and get out in force for Romney.

VOTE.

If we do, we win. If we do not we lose.

It’s that simple.

“I think now 0bama will win 56% -59% of the popular vote.”

Some of your supporting points are right on.

As to your conclusion here, you are high.

This is somewhere between a 50/50 election and a 52-48 election.

We win Florida and Ohio, we win the election.

After reading your profile I can understand your extreme pessimism and your observations do have some validity. I too live in an extremely liberal state; Washington has not gone for a Republican president since 1984. But conditions around you and I do not accurately reflect those in the rest of the United States. For your mental health you need to consider getting out of Southern California.

There are plenty of places in the country where patriotism is alive and well, where teachers are still doing more than indoctrinating little Obots, where image and celebrity take a back seat to common sense, where minorities are still in the minority, and where conservatives can state their views without fear of reprisal. You need to consider making a break and moving to the heartland.

Things are not as bad as they seem to you. It is going to be a battle, but Obama is going down despite your valid concerns. The Dems knew that they couldn't draw the same crowds to their convention that they had last time... that is why they switched to a venue with one quarter the seating. So sure people are stupid and they react to fiery empty speeches but after a couple of days their common sense starts to take over again.

Romney is no Reagan, but he is currently the only realistic choice for anyone who cares about the future of their children and grandchildren. Rasmussen's latest poll shows that likely registered voters identifying themselves as Republicans rose to the highest number since Rasmussen began polling this in 2002. This is higher than even during the midterms in 2010.

This is a time to be hopeful and enthusiastic not depressed and pessimistic. How do you think your hero President Reagan would feel about your latest posts? When President Reagan came to visit our area... my friends and I stood up to liberal protesters who outnumbered us by 100 to 1. The situation created enough of a spectacle that we made the papers; and we actually stole the headlines from the communist protesters. Even our liberal local media loves an underdog story. The coverage was brought to the attention of President Reagan and he sent me two separate letters thanking us.

Do you think that these leftist idiots just appeared during your lifetime? They have been causing trouble in the United States for the last hundred years. Sometimes as in the case of President Obama they gain a real foot hold. We conservatives can never stop fighting them even when the odds are against us. Pessimism, complacency, and laziness are our real enemies. I am sincerely worried about you. Do yourself and your country a favor... find a conservative woman, move away from Southern California and raise a family in the heartland. The country is going to need a lot of strong conservative kids if it is too survive the next century.

According to the following link which lists the best and the worst states to live in as a conservative... you are living in the worst state in the country.

“The following are the best and worst places in the country for conservatives, taking a number of factors into consideration from taxes to dating opportunities, political affiliation, weather, housing prices and more.”
