Poll: VP choice matters to most voters (CBS trying to hide bad news for Obozo alert)
CBS News ^ | July 18, 2012 | Steve Chaggaris

A new CBS News/New York Times poll released Wednesday finds a significant majority of voters said a presidential candidate's running mate has an impact on their vote.

[Snip]

Three and a half months before election day, Republican enthusiasm about voting this year has shot up since Mitt Romney clinched the nomination in April, from 36 percent of Republicans saying they were more enthusiastic in March to 49 percent now.

President Obama was helped to election in 2008 by a wave of voter enthusiasm among Democrats, however this year, Democratic enthusiasm is down a bit since March. Twenty-seven percent of Democrats said they were more enthusiastic about voting this year than they were in past elections, compared to 30 percent four months ago…

Independent voters’ enthusiasm is also up with 29 percent saying they’re more enthusiastic now from 22 percent four months ago.

Idiot Joe Biden has been a life insurance policy for the kenyan; do you think he'll dump him?

McCain is a dumass but he had been around long enough to know that in 2008 conservatives would not vote for him if his name was alone on the ticket—so he put Sarah Palin on it and thus prevented his totally stupid campaign from suffering a landslide defeat from the first true Marxist presidential candidate.

If Mitt picks a RINO VP.........If he does we won't vote for him because he done it but because he was such a stupid for doing it!
In other words we voted for Sarah in 2008, McCain being a useless afterthought—but THIS year, without a conservative VP to vote for it will be either “Obama must be stopped no matter what” or “to hell with it, I'll vote for the TEA Party Congressional candidate and just skip the top of the ticket.”
Either way, Obama gets one more chance to finish the destruction of America.

If he replaces him with Hillary no underwriter on the planet would go near it.

Vice President Joe Biden, the poster child for senility, makes Dan Quayle look like a rocket scientist.

If he does we won't vote for him because he done it but because he was such a stupid for doing it!

If your vote is decisive, and you don't vote for Romney, you're embracing the Obama regime. No amount of foot stomping, hand-washing and ranting will change that fact.

When Obama is again sworn in on January 2013, he will have some Judases on this site to thank. I pray there are few of them and they're in 'safe' states for either candidate.

Frankly, Romney could pick Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) as VP and even Romney/Collins would still be a better team to lead America than Obama/Biden.

This is a moment in history. You're either with Obama's policies, his divisiveness, his failed solutions or you are not. There is no middle ground. There is no hiding "above the fray."

There is just one man standing between Obama and that oath of office the second time around.

It pains me–I did not vote for him in either '07 or '11–but, baring unforeseeable circumstances, that man will be Mitt Romney.

I see the rants of people who "can't vote against their consciences" in November and I think of all the flawed individuals God used in the Bible. Men who were anointed to lead his Chosen People.

I am not moved by these ravings, these pleas disconnected from reality. If I'm able to cast a ballot, my conscience will be clear come election day. I will stand and be counted. I will not be a bump in the road.

I will not be intimidated, I will not be bullied, I will not be shamed into returning Barack Obama to the White House directly or indirectly.

I have been severely beaten down by life but somehow I still care too much for this once great country and her people.

I do not envy Romney in making this choice nor do I envy the person willing to walk that gauntlet. I wish them well and success for America.

What?? - did I read that correctly??
He did suffer a landslide defeat!
Obama rolled him over like a 2 dollar whore in the electoral count with 365 electoral college votes to 173 for McCain, making McCain one of the biggest losers in American history!

Either way, Obama gets one more chance to finish the destruction of America.

Wrong. True patriots will put aside their personal feelings and do what is right for America. - and that is booting Obama and all of his henchmen right out of the door!

If reelected, the policy will be cancelled. The risk will be very great and uninsurable
