Yeah, but did you hear the Missouri Republican nominee for the Senate was told by doctors it is unlikely for a rape victim to become pregnant??????

OMG, let’s freak out over THAT, instead of figuring out how to defeat Obamugabe and his stooges in the Senate!!

I am going to go out on a limb. I think Mitt will win the following states that 0bama won in 2008, ceribus paribus: New Hampshire, PA, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, all of Nebraska, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, maybe Minnesota and maybe ME-2. I do not believe NJ is a lock for 0bummer.

Yes, NJ... Menendez in trouble and if he is in uber Dem Sopranoland what does that say about the rest of the country...

Again watch Michigan, if the Ohio Domino falls, I see Michigan falling in line. I think Wisconsin is ours, and maybe MN too...

I agree with your list except I predict Glove will definitely win ME-02.

MN? Would be great, but I can see NJ flipping before MN.

Like I’ve said many, many times: This election won’t be close.

Yard signs in front of private homes, not in intersections or public grounds, have always been a harbinger of things to come.

Discouragingly, in the backwash of western Pa, in 08 there were surprisingly lots of BeeHOe signs. I knew it would be bad.

This year, those signs have been replaced. The “STOP THE WAR ON COAL, FIRE OBAMA” yard signs litter the country side in numbers and in places where I know coal mining union thugs prevail.

Somehow, I don’t have any sympathy for the coal miners, after all BeeHOe was a known quantity in 08, and the hard heads protected by their hard hats refused to listen. When I would point out that BeeHOe and Chains Biden boasted about what they were going to do to coal, all I got back were catcalls and threats of violence. Now, the worm has turned and its costing these fools big time.

Sorry for their setbacks, but they brought it on themselves.

This time out, I just hope that a whole lot more of them see sense and get rid of that commie pig who is strangling them, and the rest of us too.

“Glove.” LOL. For a minute I thought you were talking about Michael Jackson.

We all have our little anecdotal indicators. I start back to teaching college classes this week. That is a pretty good indicator of where the “yut” vote is. My sense going into this semester is that most of them “did their thing for the black guy” and have “been there, done that,” and have no particular support for ANY of Zero’s policies. We’ll see if that holds up.

Credit to Impy for coming up with that moniker for Willard M. Romney.

It ‘fits’ rather well...:)

WOW, are you BRAVE!

I mean that wholeheartedly. Nowadays it takes some gonads to wander into the cesspool of depravity known as the “education” system.

Good luck to you and God bless.

I don’t know what subject you are going to try to teach, but if it has anything to do with social/political issues, please make just ONE book part of their reading list.

OUR ENEMY THE STATE, by Albert Jay Nock, copywrite 1935. Most of your students will fail to comprehend what is written, because Nock wrote it on a graduate political theory level. It will sail clean over the heads of 9/10ths of undergrad students. And this is mostly because their language and communications skills and critical thinking abilities have been deliberately stymied.

On the other hand, it clearly defines the battle line between the individual and the collectivist and as such, should be required reading in every Poly Sci/Sosh 101 class.

The book and the comprehension thereof will definitely allow you to separate your students into “promising” and “cannon fodder” in short order.

Again, good luck.

Nah, I've been teaching 26 years in college, five or so before that high school down to elementary. My dean is very supportive---doesn't agree with me much, but gave me a nice grant to film a piece for our developing TV series. Here is our trailer (http://vimeo.com/40949423) and what we filmed isn't in this---we shot the Wright B Flyer in action. But my university is quite decent and while liberal, respectful.

Heck, 20 colleges and universities use my book "A Patriot's History of the U.S." including Rice, U of Utah, UC Santa Cruz (!), U of Missouri, Suny, Washington-Tacoma, Montreat, and many others.

I’m impressed. Patriots history of the US is as good as it gets.

Again, march on.

I live in Newport News and I am glad you brought it up because it is a great example to prove my argument. Romney will likely get about 70% of the white vote, but the city as a whole is about 40% black. Obama carried Newport News with 64% of the vote in 2008 among about 80,000 total votes cast. McDonnell lost Newport News by a total of 14 votes (49.96% to 49.92%) in 2009 among about 37,000 votes cast. These are official numbers from the State Board of Elections. Virginia is going to be a tough win.

Excellent trailer. Do you have any idea of when it will air on television? I would be interested in writing a bit about it on my blog as a type of review for my readers to be informed about it and to let them know when it will be showing.

Would you be willing to answer some questions that I submit I would use the answers in the article to help inform my readers about you and your work.

My hometown newspaper, the Enterprise Record of Chico Ca carries my blog, although you will not hear them bragging about it...LOL

I must admit that the quality of the video was very impressive and it made me want to purchase your book for my library. I am an avid student of history, both American and world. I hold to the belief that, “The more we know, the more we know we don’t know”.

I’d say MN is more likely than NJ, but not by that much. MN was about a point and a half better than NJ in 2004 and a couple points better in 2008.

I am too cautious to get on the big Glove win train.

I’ll eat the pumpkin pie after I’m done with the 270 pounds of turkey. It’s in the oven but you have to be careful about bacteria cropping up.

We are just today starting the fundraising campaign. We’ll know in a couple of months if we can get all the funding.
