I could not agree with you more.
Carter #2 needs to down to defeat!
He hasn't screwed up so far. In fact, he seems to be doing everything right. Unlike McCain, it appears that Romney actually wants to be President.
He’s only been running against conservatives. Give him time.
One hopes that the author is correct.
But there are too many brilliant, Progressive geniuses out there who are in the tank for Obama. They love him and will not deprive him of their vote.
IMHO
The author forgot to mention that ACORN took a hit a few years ago so a decent chunk of the fake voters won’t be included either.
I have little faith that Romney will do much better than Obama, but things have to be going much better than they are right now for a current sitting president to win a 2nd term. My money is on Romney for this election. Worst case, things only marginally get better.
Sorry, but Gunny is an Obama man.
I have been saying this for over a year. As long as Romney (or whomever the GOP was to nominate) did not blow bubbles with his drool, he would win and it would not be close. It won’t be close.
I didn’t mean you were acting like a school kid or a liberal just for labelling people, but for labelling them inaccurately. Many, many people on this forum have a lot of objections to Romney, but I can’t think of any that base those objections on hate, so to label them as such is not accurate.
Now, if you’re saying that you weren’t trying to blanketly label everyone who objects to Romney as a “Romney hater”, then I guess I jumped to a conclusion about your comment and I apologize for my presumption and withdraw my statement.
I’m just tired of the Romneybots around here who are trying to inject the liberal “hate”/”bigot” charged words into the discussions about him to try and shut down debate, so I guess I got trigger-happy.
West would be great. I don’t know ERmey’s politics, but I like his style.
Nice post. Thanks.

I think this guy is right on target. I predicted a Reaganesque landslide back at the first of the year...that’s my story and I’m sticking with it.
Thank you and Mr Root for my new tagline.
oops
Nice post. Thanks.

It likely won’t be as Reaganesque in the EC, due to the population distribution these days, but its going to be a slaughter.
This election is simply a mandate on Obama.. the republican candidate is largely irrellevant.
I know that sounds callous and cynical, but its true.
You can’t run the country into the ground, and think you are going to have any shot at re-election.
Obama has the distinction of being the only president in the modern era who will have fewer americans working at the end of his term than there were at the beginning of his term. You can’t spin that away, you can’t read a teleprompter and get out of it, you can’t propoganda and lie your way around it.
The naive youth who ran to this guy in 08, are now out there without jobs, the youth coming out of college today, most won’t be able to find a job, at least not one that isn’t flipping burgers.
The very idea this election is going to be close is LAUGHABLE on its face. The press is going to keep up the lie through the summer, in hopes that their boy can somehow turn it around, but the reality is he can’t.
Obama is NOT an astute politician, and frankly he’s not that astute at all. He’s been playing in a league that requires talent well above his ability and its obvious to everyone.
By fall when the writing is on the wall, the press will finally realize the deal is done, the bloods in the water, and will turn on him. The more obvious it is this guys going down, and going down hard, the more petty and angry he’s going to become and act. And the more he acts like that, the lower his numbers are going to go.
I challenge anyone out there, get off free republic and go talk to those swing voters you know that voted for Obama last time... don’t be condesending, don’t be told you so, just go and talk to them and find out if they intend to vote for him this time... You’ll see that it just ain’t happening folks. Swing voters will easily break 5 to 3 to 2 to 1 for the republican this cycle, if not worse and there is no way you win an election with that reality.
You cannot lose 40% of the vote by a 5 to 3 or 2 to 1 margin and think you have any chance of winning. Obama will try a desperate EC win, yielding the popular vote but try to hang onto enough EC votes to squeat it out, but its just not there.
Agreed, but it will still be a landslide...as Reaganesque as is possible with today's demographic mix.
Glad to see the free republic spellcheck stormtroopers are on duty
