It’s just so unreal... The DNC have proved themselves to be Godless hateful people, yet people still support them. I guess I am just to old fashioned for Hope and Change..

Last week, the day after Clint Eastwood's magnificent monologue, five of my coworkers were lamenting on how sad it was that old age had finally gotten to Clint. I asked them if they'd seen his speech or if they'd just heard about it on the news, and all five admitted that they'd only heard about it from the MSM.

I pulled out my I-Phone, went to YouTube, and pulled up the video for them to see exactly what he said. In the end, four of the five were outraged about the false reporting (the fifth is so far to the left that she's not even in the ballpark anymore) and I have provided them with several news websites where they can get unobjective news.

No one knows that they booed God. If Repubs had done what they did it’d have been on Yahoo’s home page for 5 days, looped on all the nets, joked about on late night, even filtered out to the entertainment media... Instead. Nothing. It’s blacked out. The media is our enemy, not the Dems - they are incompetent.

The only things that matter are Florida, VA and Ohio and to a lesser extent, Colorado. Obama might lose the popular vote by a few million and still win this thing which is why voting for an actual candidate that can actually defeat Obama is important.

Of course, the EV is what counts in the end. On the other hand, vote distribution being what it is, it's virtually impossible to win the general election with less than 48.5% of the (two-party) popular vote

it’s very difficult to win the popular vote by more than half a percentage point in yet still lose electoral college that does not happen

It was like I told them I no longer believed in Christ or that I was gay.

But the odd thing is now that the Democrat party is officially in the process of becoming the "gay" party and the "anti-Christian" party they're still probably voting for them.

D+4 may have been registration during the last cycle, but it's probably more like R + 4 as we've heard lately and often that R registration is up nicely.

Landslide.

No. I’m an optimist, and I think Romney will win by a comfortable margin, but it will not qualify as a “landslide,” and Romney will be lucky to take states like WI, MI, NV, NH, and IA-—and I think he’ll take enough of those to win.

Well He would have to get out in front of the media and tell them to STFU and give them a what for. President Bush bless hs heart did not do that and they just walked all over him. You gotta stand your ground

" we will have to listen to the media for the next four years"

NO. WE. DON'T. I've gone radio and internet 24/7, and too many friends who still rely on old media think I'm off the wall. It's sad. Luckily, I'm in a state where it doesn't matter.

Fewer and fewer are relying on the alphabets and soon it'll be Huffington vs Drudge as the main news providers, rather than NBC, CBS, ABC, or FOX. We win that one.

They're influence is waning.

LS, I respect your expertise. And, under normal circumstances, I would agree with your assessment.

But there is an undercurrent that leads me to believe a.) Romney's margin will continue to grow and b.) the undecideds will break sharply toward Romney.

May we both be positively surprised...

I feel for you man. Fortunately, my mom & dad were Republicans but my dad & I still go at because he believes I am an entrenched extremist. I use the analogy that Jonah Golberg recently used. One side says we need to build a Bridge the other side says it is not necessary. The “ moderate” says, hey let’s compromise & build it half way across the chasm. Now who is the extremist?

85% of Democrats would still vote for Obama.

Mass hypnosis, or mass insanity.

Not really. They are probably social issue voters (abortion, gay rights, animal rights, environmental issues etc) mixed with minorities who have just been brainwashed since birth to think the Dems are the only party that cares about their needs.

More accurately, polled at D+4, reality is now R+4 for a net diff of 8.

Now I am the bigot even though I have not changed my views. I am intolerant (=unchristian). I am brainwashed even though I am the one who still believes the way I did as a kid: Jesus is my God, girls are good, go USA. All of my brothers changed their minds after going to college. The only thing that did not change is that they think Democrats are saints fighting for what is good and that republicans are evil selfish people who only care for themselves.
