Of course, liberal Bookman is delighted, but he really has no answers to the question posed in his title. His only suggestion is that most voters figure things would just be worse under the GOP.

Obama has a formidable get-out-the-vote operation. I’m on his mailing list and get e-mails from the Obama people and related PACs such as the Sierra Club every day.

One of these men is not like the others:

Given the historical nature of his presidency, the "rules" are thrown away. There is every reason to believe the electorate will err in his favor regardless of the objective merits of his case for reelection.

If he was John F Kerry or John McCain, a second term would not be in the cards.

Romney has to convince voters there's no reason to feel guilty, racist, afraid of judging Obama on his actual record and finding this president's not lived up the to challenge and, like predecessors similarly positioned, needs to be let go.

In light of his failure, Obama knows how critical the race card is to his reelection and that's why his surrogates used it everywhere they can. He is .

It has been clear to people on here and tea party people in generally that while Romney is a nice fellow, he is the wrong person to take on Obama. It is becoming increasingly clear to some of the idiots who backed him in the GOP=e media that he is not the right candidate.

I believe he is not winning because he made two giant mistakes to hurt the tea party conservative base. The power grab at the RNC convention, which while nobody loves idiot Paulites sacred the tea party into a frenzy when they should have been focused on Obama. And now his support of parts of Obamacare and reaffirming Romneycare. Even if the angry unhappy conservatives support Romney and vote for him the lack of enthusiasm is back and I think the vote might be depressed for Romney. Meaning some people can no longer support him.

Romney has failed to attack Obama where it hurts and instead has not been aggressive enough. I believe it the wrong approach that he was taking since last year. I believe the contest is to aggressively attack Obama with fire and to attract conservative support. Not to pick off Democrats. Paul Ryan is not enough like Sarah Palin was not enough. This battle is over the survival of Freedom on this planet. That means America’s survival without any Rino attached B.S.

I believe the way things maybe shaping up in the past three week that the GOP is finished and Conservatives will want to move out of the party and create an new one after the election. And it will happen if Romney doesn’t become more accepting of the base and wins the election.

I don’t doubt DNC shenanigans but Romney is no Palin, West or DeMint. This we know and therefore they would running a much different campaign.

Bookman is one of several, prominently-featured regime apparatchiks of the AJC. He is a complete stranger to the concepts of facts and truth.

Romney isn’t going to lose. The reason he won’t lose is because the tea party, which he has never courted, will pull his fanny out of the fire. They think if they don’t acknowledge the tea party that they won’t have to “play ball” with us after the victory. They are WRONG! We’ll deliver the white house, senate and house but we’re going to expect real changes in how that city works. IMO, the establishment elites are in for a rude awakening. Just because the got their guy does not mean they are going to get their way.

Some reasons include;

1. Racial/ethnic demographics - Mass immigration (and I’m talking legal more than illegal) has predictably and inevitably pushed the nation towards the Left. Most non-whites are natural Democrats, and that includes Hispanics despite what you hear about their social conservatism. Bush pandered like no Republican ever has, and at most he won 40% of the Hispanic vote in 2004. Nothing proves the label ‘stupid party’ more fitting than the GOP’s suicidal embrace of unending mass chain migration.

2. The public dole - more and more people are using welfare, and fewer people are paying income taxes. It’s clear who this helps.

3. Overwhelming media bias - the mainstream media may not be as powerful as it used to be, but it can still drive stories and frame coverage. They still reach tens of millions of Americans. It’s why everyone knows how ‘extreme’ Republicans are on abortion, but why few know that the Democrats are even more extreme in the opposite direction. It’s why an arrogant narcissist like Obama is so ‘likeable.’ It’s why recent polls showing Obama in the lead are presented by the talking media heads with almost orgasmic-like joy. Overall media bias has to be worth several points at least.

4. Overwhelming bias from Hollywood/pop culture - the anti-conservative, anti-Republican, pro-Obama/Democrat messages in movies and tv may be overt and unambiguous, or they may just be a out-of-nowhere line thrown in, but they are there.

5. Overwhelming bias in Education - from Kindergarten to College, the schools are dominated by the Left. From childhood to young adulthood, we are indoctrinated in a liberal worldview.

6. The candidate - Romney isn’t a terrible candidate, but he’s not ideal either. I’m not going to bash Romney, as he was probably the best we could hope among those who actually did run. He’s clearly intelligent, and has the business experience needed...but there’s just something missing. But in light of numbers 1 - 5, I don’t know how far ahead even a perfect conservative candidate could be.
