That’s why I have hope after listening to Mark’s show for so many years. Over the last year he has taken so many calls from people saying they were die hard Obama supporters and they saw the light, some real accounts.

Anyone who calls the President a “SKILLED POLITICIAN” is either an idiot, ignorant, or flat out lying.

The man has ZERO political skill... Don’t believe me? Look for yourself.. what are his political accomplishments? Ramming through legislation when his party was in power... since then, what has he done? Nothing.. Why? because he doesn’t have an ounce of political skill.

A truly skilled politician accomplishes things in the face of adversity, builds consensus, finds common ground and gets things done. This fool hasn’t accomplished anything since losing majority, and he wasted his political capital when he had the majority on a failed and hated mandate at a time the economy was crumbling.

Obama is no skilled politician, he’s an lazy, empty suit.

HUGE “If”s below ...

IF the reports and rumors that the pollsters are having only a 9% response rate, and If those choosing to not respond are skewed much more to disliking Obama (which I consider highly likely), we will know that in a little over four weeks when the vote occurs.

Many pollsters will realize what happened, and they will have to go into a major tizzy to try to discover polling strategies that will work.

I imagine that some very private and highly paid pollsters already have such strategies, but those polls are released only to high-paying clients.

A few additions to my “IF”s post ...

That scenerio also explains why so many pollsters swear they are getting major excess of Dems and Indys polled than conservatives/GOPers, as well as the 2010 election “surprise”.

Pray for another surprise.

” I have noticed that Rs have not been polling great with Asians. if you see polls to the contrary let me know. “

This mortifies me, and you are correct. Asians in California and elsewhere have voted Dem by a large margin. Chinese, Korean, and those from India must think Democrat equals “America”.... the dub s$its! Those immigrants from Russia and its outlying areas are mostly Republicans.

there is something wrong with the way we are portraying the GOP. I read in the economist that 4 out of 5 non-whites support the Dims

Let's assume that 2 are black, but the other (i.e. 40% of non-whites) must be hispanic or asian

Asians have conservative, family-oriented values. South Koreans are strong, conservative Christians and all would hate socialism and gay marriage. We need to do more to reach out and convince these people -- I don't know what quite frankly

“Why the Obama Bubble Still Hasn’t Burst”

Because the GOP has been hyjacked by the Extortion-Care-ites, and their installation of the Hillary of Massachusetts.

Because the Hillary of Massachusetts still embraces his signing of Extortion-Care, and has yet to declare his voiced “replacement” will not place Americans at the mercy of private insurance edicts.

“Asians have conservative, family-oriented values. South Koreans are strong, conservative Christians and all would hate socialism and gay marriage.”

Correct

” We need to do more to reach out and convince these people — I don’t know what quite frankly “

I don’t either, but our party hasn’t even tried.
