garbanzo: Small problem with your theory. Immigrants and a Democrat controlled congress.

The Constitution requires a census to be taken every ten years. Nothing they can do about that. It also requires reapportionment. It is possible to change the formula but the population shifts are real and any attempt to game the system too much will result in court action. It’s also unlikely that even with massive immigration, that naturalization will happen at such a rate to alter the effects of the 2010 race.

And now, a brief history lesson of ACTUAL ELECTION RESULTS:

1980: Reagan 50.75%, Carter 41%, (+9.75 Reagan) Reagan won 45 states.
1984: Regan 58.77%, Mondale 40.56% (+18.21 Regan) Reagan won 49 states.
1988: Bush 53.37%, Dukakis 45.65% (+7.72 Bush) Bush won 42 states.
1992: Clinton 43.01%, Bush 37.45%, Perot 18.91% (+5.66% Clinton) Clinton won 30 states.
1996: Clinton 49.23%, Dole 40.72%, Perot 8.40% (+8.49% Clinton) Clinton won 31 states.
2000: Bush 47.87%, Gore 48.38% (Gore +0.49%) Bush won 30 states.
2004: Bush 50.73%, Kerry 48.27% (Bush +2.46%) Bush won 31 states.

Hmmm, the bad thing about that history lesson is that it shows polls have been historically pretty accurate, or at least good predictors.

You're more optomistic than I. I don't think the "naturalization" process, as you and I know it, would last more than 18 months under an Obama presidency.

I find these two Medved statements contradictory:

The most significant and sweeping changes of an Obama presidency would be permanent and irreversible.

and

the business cycle will inevitably allow him to preside over “recovery”

I agree with the first statement. Once Obama, Pelosi, and Reid do their dirty deeds, there will be no recovery.

Medved may be right, but if we lose and all this comes to pass, he will have only himself to blame.

“That is exactly what Obama will do. Those guys will eat him alive. Obama is a naive fool.”

He’s a put up job who knows he’s dancing with the devil. It’s not about him, but the forces behind him Massive $$$. Aspirations for total control. No holds barred abortion, with euthanasia to follow. Silencing debate, free speech, religious speech and believe. Harassment for dissention. “Education” camps.

He’ll have to kill those who know the back story. Quickly. We’ve had a couple of car crashes here in the last month.

Pay attention.

And armor up, guys.

Icthus.

The national pollsters will love you for that. The truth is their ‘predictions’ were made AFTER a concerted effort of trying to dispirit Republican voters just as they doing in this election.

They manipulate the numbers until the last minute of the last hour THEN show the ACTUAL numbers to remain a factor in the next election.

And if Obama wins, who thinks the dems will leave Gov. Palin alone? They’ll demonize her and her family until the cows come home. They know perfectly well what she is and will do everything in their power to marginalize her forever. With Obama’s suppression of free speech and installation of the ‘fairness’ doctrine, the MSM will make sure she’s never heard from again. Along with the rest of the republican party.

America’s enemies are attempting to buy the Presidency. Much cheaper and surer than trying to win militarily.

If Obama is elected, he will end up planting the seeds of a new civil war down the road.

An Obama White House would be sadly a “Titanic” administration which would sink after hitting its own “iceberg”, making it one and done in four years.

...And with a bloody civil war that will result in time which would tear America apart.

You are absolutely right.

ACORN and Tony Rezko didn't put us where we are today.

What did it was eight years of "compassionate conservatism".

After watching Weather Channel’s “How Weather Has Changed History” last night about the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, I cannot help but think that a possible Obama White House could become a political “Titanic” down the road.
