Newt says:
53/47 Romney
Over 300 EVs
Republicans take the Senate (including VA and WI)
NC is in the bag for Romney...VA and FL coming next
MI and PA starting to be in play
"Pretty optimistic" that OH is coming together in the right kind of way...war on coal has alienated segments of the state...he believes Romney will carry OH and Republicans will win the Senate race in OH
Greta chimes in, thinks WI will go for Romney
Obama is rattled, flashing back to loss to Bobby Rush, uncomfortable with thought of being an ex-President
Obama didn't show up in the 1st debate, was far too aggressive in the next two
Biden looked irrational in his debate, like he drank 5 Red Bulls (LOL)

BEYOND the polls, the other signs also point to a signifcant Romney win. Obama is losing it very frankly. A sitting president calling a challenger a “BS....” on the record. The #MyFirstTime ad is desparation and will backfire big time with women and indys.
Obama trotting out a 20 page economic plan 12 days before the election (and have the pages have his pictures on them). Big Bird, Binders, Bayonettes and Romnesia. Come on, O knows he is losing. Frankly I don;t really think he wants to be president 4 more years. But he cannot believe he is losing to Romney.
You're wrong about that.
His ego will NEVER recover from a defeat.
He's pulling out all the stops to win this election.
He said it was something Carville told him years ago.
He also said they just discovered a bunch of oil in Ohio waiting to be tapped and it would create thousands of jobs. Said Ohio could become the next North Dakota.
Hope he continues to pull out the stops, at this rate, he and the Rats will be over the cliff in no time with their latest ads.
Yes. LS, Ravi, and TonyinOhio have been looking at the numbers beyond polling. It may interest you.
Wait.... Sohhhh, you think this was political? /s
um. Yes.
Why did they put the embassy there in the first place? It was not safe, the country was not stabalized.
—> They wanted to be seen supported the victors; they wanted Americans to see a foreign policy win
Why did they refuse it additional security?
—>It would tick off our “allies” and look as if we didn’t trust them, not such a foreign policy win after all.
Why didn’t we send help?
—>Hard to focus group in the middle of the night, besides Obama was tired.
Why did they blame a video?
—> Because Romney and Republicans were going hard core bashing the terrorists and they needed to show the country that the Republicans were wrong. Even if they weren’t. It only has to work until the election.
Everything about it was political
I did see some of LS’s posts re: early voting in OH… sounds promising as hell, no doubt. I’m just wondering why it’s not being picked up elsewhere. Surely there can’t be some total media conspiracy blackout about the true electoral rumblings going on in that state.
We so pray!
He can't win. He must lose this election.
[ O knows he is losing. Frankly I don;t really think he wants to be president 4 more years. But he cannot believe he is losing to Romney. ]
Could be he (and others) believe they have screwed up the economy so bad it cannot be repaired.. along with much other malfeasance.. He may be expecting to loose.. and let the republicans receive THE BLAME for all he has done.. when they cannot fix it..
It depends on what Romney if elected has the BALLS to do.. Because it will take balls to do what needs to be done.. Little doubt RIOTS are already planned organized and will be orchestrated.. Maybe even some domestic terrorism to throw monkey wrenches into it all.. or even international terrorism or both..
It will take some massive BALLS to deal with this.. and huge unity among the republican Congress and the President.. I do not think the people that organized Obamas Coup D-Etat of federal givernment are STUPID.. They havn’t been so far.. Saul Alinskys “Rules for Radicals” has been pulled off like pure genius so far.. Romneys WINNING could indeed part of the plan...
God I hope I’m wrong.. but the progressives have executed their plans brilliantly so far.. and I doubt ANY REPUBLICAN is ready for the reverse logic of it.. Seems Annapolis is graduating morons these days.. Sun Tsu seems to be long ago forgotten..
“Well, if Newt is boasting about it, the GOP is screwed.”
He has years of experience and is a very intelligent man when it comes to politics. What do you have to offer?
It just really irks you to see the Kenyan losing. Why is that?
I think Rove yesterday on O’Reilly said something about Democrats’ normal advantages in early voting being much less this year.
I’ve no doubt that Democrat voting is indeed down and that their enthusiasm level this cycle is deflated compared to what it has been. I’ve also no doubt that Republican enthusiasm is way up. Nobody need convince me on either of these two points.
My skepticism is that this simply isn’t going to be enough come election day once the voting is tallied. That the political demographics of this country have irreparably shifted to the point where there will never be enough excited Republicans/Others to outvote the tumorous mass of Democrats/Liberals no matter how listless they are.
Honestly, I was rather concerned in ‘10 even—despite major GOP gains in the House as well as in Local/State offices around the country—that the electoral backlash against Obama/et al wasn’t bigger, given all the recent public outrage against Obamacare and what not at the time. Yes, it was a good night that Nov. 2nd… but frankly, all things considered, the aftermath nevertheless struck me as something too little, too late and left me with a “that’s it?” feeling.
What concerns me is that no president has won an election since 1980 without winning BOTH Nevada and Ohio. Yet Romney hasn’t been ahead in polls for either of these states yet. He can make up for that if he really can win states like Wisconsin and Penn., but that would make for an odd electoral map.
You mean other than the #s we’ve posted here for 2 months showing OH Ds ar off their 08 absentee pace by a net 175,000 ballots?
I’ve no doubts that D voting is way down this cycle. My concern is whether there’ll be enough enthused Rs to win, even with depressed D turnout.
Why don’t you look @ the nmbers instead of speculating?
It's simple math. It's possible for Romney to get to 270 without Ohio if he pick up several other smaller swing states. If he takes those plus Ohio, he's already up near 300 EV. Add in Michigan and/or Pennsylvania, and it starts turning into a rout.
Not saying it will happen, but the margins are tight enough in even MI and PA that a late break toward Romney does make it possible. Personally, I'm thinking Obama is rapidly approaching his floor of support and the middle-of-the-fence voters are going to break hard for Romney, better than the typical 3:1. Prediction: Romney 53, Obama 45 (Others 2) and Romney with 320+ EV.
FWIW, I did glance through some of your post history sometime last week after someone name-dropped you re: OH early voting, and the #s you were were posting do indeed sound fantastic.
If you’ve a comprehensive breakdown of the data posted anywhere, I’d be more than happy to look at it. Or likewise revealing numbers others have compiled.
I’m not really trying to debate anyone, I just don’t want to be perceiving this election through rose-colored glasses and waking up Nov 7th hungover from delusion.
Have at it. BTW, the last time I looked at this was Mon. or Tues., so there may be some very minor changes.
