RUSH: My question is, why is Obama still campaigning? Could somebody explain that to me. Everywhere I look, this election's over. Why, Obama has hit 50% approval in the polls now for the first time ever. The bounce out of that disaster of a convention was unprecedented, other than Dukakis who had a 17-point lead after his, and somehow he lost. Brit Hume said today on Fox, "Well, you know, you gotta keep in mind the guy leading in the polls in mid-September rarely loses." Ever heard of Dukakis? Ever heard of Jimmy Carter? And now Public Policy Polling has a poll out saying Obama's at 50% in Ohio. They're closing the gap. They're gonna win Ohio now. Except Obama might lose New Mexico. New Mexico is still in play. They're not telling you that. But why's Obama still raising money? Why is he still campaigning, if this is over?
Folks, this is so predictable. The campaign to depress you and to dispirit you is underway, and it's at full bore. It's going 150%. These people have a disaster of a convention they're trying to turn into the greatest convention ever. Obama is pitied. I can't tell you all the theories. I've got people depressed 'cause they think the new iPhone isn't gonna have anything in it. I'm surrounded by it. And I'm here to tell you, it is September the 10th. There's two months to go. There's no way this is over. There is no way.

You make some great arguments so good in fact that it does not make sense to vote. You have saved us a lot of time and energy.
Sad but rue. It is better to face the realities you point out so we can all be victims. That you for all your intelligent efforts.
I wonder how many people posing as FReepers are really Rat trolls.
The good news about the polls swinging left is that maybe the ‘Rats won’t think they need to cheat as much as usual.
Starting to wonder about you.
Britt Hume is a real disappointment this election season. I swear he’s on the O team.
Hog Wash with your scare tactics.
I don’t believe any of that for one minute.
It could have the reverse effect as well. Dems think they have a winner and plan to stay home thinking everyone is going out vote for Obama...
What is Hume saying now? I don’t watch Fox much these days...
RE: Whaddya, some sort of troll???!?
What is this forum all about anyway? Some rah rah site where people can only post what they think others would like to hear?
What rule in FR says that one cannot post what one thinks?
If you disagree with me, by all means tell me why I am wrong. I am all ears... Accusing a long time member and poster of being a troll is uncalled for.
RE: Hog Wash with your scare tactics.
Maybe you can tell me where I am wrong in my analysis. I am willing to listen and learn...
Yes, the Ras poll and other polls show there was a DNC bounce for Obama. But it is also valid that most of the polls have been skewed to favor Obama. There is pollaganda and agenda journalism at play.
All your reasons are great reasons to defeat obama. His re-election will seal in place a dependency state that will bankrupt us. We HAVE to stop it.
We HAVE to make 2012 be another 2010, or even better, show that 2010 was just the warmup. We have to blow the socialists out of the water..
The economy has been stuck in a rut for years now. The same things voters voted on in 2010 apply today. Same failed President, same bad policies out of the Democrats in Washington, same need to reign in spending, get government back under control, repeal Obamacare, and get the economy moving again.
You also have to include the efforts of the DemonRATs to register illegal alien voters. It is one reason they are fighting Voter ID. Getting that ID is one more complicated step. Without Voter ID, even the dead get to vote.
RE: You also have to include the efforts of the DemonRATs to register illegal alien voters.
That would be true only if these illegals are included in the current polls. Not sure if this is true or not. But yes, that would be a factor is a very close election like the one in 2000.
That’s why for Romney/Ryan to win, Obama has to be decisively crushed, not simply squeak by.
Correct! It’s the dem party that is demoralized! They’re sick of defending the indefensable. The obama voters I know are NOT VOTING FOR HIM AGAIN OR THEY ARE NOT VOTING AT ALL.
Take back the senate!
