G Gop-E

The GOP-e's forcefed candidate is losing very badly electorally. Obama's 253 is up from 243 last week so another state or two is now polling in Obama's column.

He needs just 17 more electoral votes to win out of 110 available, AND Rasmussen reports that Obama is LEADING in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, and Virginia.

Thanks for the circular firing squad GOP-e.

How do we pull this out of the fire? If EVERYONE were to turn on Romney prior to the convention. IF he were polling in the low 30's against Obama by that time, then that convention would have to hari-kari or SWITCH.

It might just switch.

“If EVERYONE were to turn on Romney prior to the convention.”

The opportunity to “turn on Romney” was the Republican primaries.

So where does Rove, The Bastard, think he’s going to get Romney’s electoral votes from?

The GOP never intended to take the white house because they don’t have the stones to face the angry mob. Let’s just hope Obama doesn’t decide to be president for life because the GOP would let him.

Who do we nominate instead - give me a logically choice of someone rather than someone “other than Romney” or someone who has said “no” to a presidential run ?

In the primaries 60%+ voted against Romney, and most of them still feel that way.

So, in an “undeluded by massive advertising state of mind” they can simply not support him and tell that to everyone.

That will easily get his polling numbers against Obama down in the 30’s and the GOP will suicide or change horses.

When Romney gets trounced in a landslide, the inside the beltway GOP elites (i.e., Coulter and Rove) will blame the Tea Party, Santorum, Gingrich, Paul, Perry, Bachmann, Palin, Bush — everyone but themselves for the rout. Stupid is as stupid does. Welcome to four more years if Obama.

In Michigan 57 of our 83 counties voted for Santorum and Romney won the Obama stronghold that he can’t possibly win in November.

Romney ran for the nomination like a liberal.

Don’t worry. This polling usally oversamples democrats. I think they do this to get Republicans to just give up and accept their fate. Not gonna work. They do this with everything they say “If you repeat the same lie over and over, people eventually see it as the truth”. Problem is, they cannot control the results of the election (most of the time) so you get the other side to no-show. That is all this is....trying to make you believe he will win. FYI even with the weighted polling, he cannot even hit 50%. That is disaster for him. Don’t fall for it!

This poll is useless. It says nothing about what is going to happen in November.

Look at the polls, Wherever Obama is below 50%, which is almost ALL THE STATES THAT ARE LEANING O and anywhere he is behind are IN THE ROMNEY COLLUMN.

Nobody who is undecided is going to break for Obama. It is a historical FACT! He is in big trouble. and he knows it!

Even in the toss up states, Obama is at least 5 points below 50%! They are almost certain losers for Obama. He is a known quantity 100% name recognition and everyone alive with access to sight and sound has scene or heard him in the last 24 hours.

Short of massive voter fraud he is toast! Obama will lose!

I smell roasting RINO. Obama has had more fund raisers than the past 5 presidents combined. He has been in full campaign mode for over a year. He acts more desperate every day. He panders to his base daily. He is far behind where he was in 2008 and he was no landslide then. In fact he was loosing until the McLame suspended his campaign to tell us that Obama was right about everything.

Sure this poll of polls, weighted to the far left, is cute, but the likelihood that is meaningful is farfetched. The importance of this article is that the RNC is not getting near the money they want and they can’t understand why we don’t love RINO’s.

Do you take seriously any analysis that has as tossup states:

Arizona won by the GOP in the last 3 elections.
Colorado won by G.W. Bush twice.
Florida won by G.W Bush twice.
Iowa won by G.W. Bush in 2004.
Missouri won by G.W. Bush twice
New Hampshire won by G.W.Bush in 2004.
North Carolina won by G.W. Bush twice.
Ohio won by G.W. Bush twice.
Virginia won by G.W. Bush twice.

Now with everything going his way Obama won all these states in 2008 but other than Colorado all swung strongly back to the GOP.

Everybody who isn’t comatose also knows Romney. He is not a newbie, and the name has been around for forever.

And the major advocate of the “polling under 50% undecideds” position is Dick Morris. Dick Morris is an idiot. And, he’s a Trogan Horse.

I agree with you, but if that were to happen, the streets would become rivers of blood.
