Dem warning: Obama could lose Wisconsin

It seems Rats are under the misconception that an early cast vote is worth more than a vote cast on election day.

[for-q-clinton]

They do get to count twice. Vote early and often.

[vladimir998]

They’re encouraging early votes so they can devote all their efforts to driving bigger losers to the polls on election day. Also, when those early votes get counted - which could be as soon as the polls open on election day - it won’t look like a landslide against Obama.

Vans from all around the country were running 8am to 7pm non-stop and on weekends during the Walker recall. They still couldn’t get it done.

[Gay State Conservative]

Early voting and motor-voter are major opportunities for voter fraud on a truly massive scale.That's why the Rat Party pushes them so hard.

[taildragger]

it won’t look like a landslide against Obama.

Ya mean like the Walker 8 point drubbing? :-)

My guess this is a hat tip for the nationwide sentiment. I have been saying it will be so big it will take them 20 years to recover, I guess they sense it and don't want to look like even bigger losers.

The bigger the loss, the bigger the chances people look at them as laughing stocks. Just like I heard the Line guys @ GM were making fun of Oboingo after year 1, when they make fun of you they have lost all respect for you. The Democratic Party maybe on the verge of being that bad of a Joke, and the DNC gets what a road it will be to change that going forward..

[Sacajaweau]

The assumption is that an early vote is a party line vote...and they can count party designation.

So either Dems are sand bagging or going to vote heavy for Romney.

[Terry Mross]

Early votes end up in boxes that are “found” later. After they figure out how many votes they need.

[ozzymandus]

Hell yes he’s going to lose! And all this RAT talk about early voting being so helpful to them just proves they’re commiting voter fraud.

[muawiyah]

It's about turnout ~ the idea is the people who vote early ~ or, vote absentee early, which is a slightly different concept ~ are people who usually wouldn't bother voting.

The Democrats had 10 million new voters in 2008, and they won by 10 million votes. Their perception is their new voters voted early.

The Democrat belief is that Republicans have fewer new voters, and they tend to vote on election day with only a handful of absentee ballots earlier.

When the Democrats see their early voters NOT VOTING and the Republicans having a whole huge bunch of presumably new voters voting early, they assume ~ correctly ~ they are losing.

So, how did this come about ~ well, rather than deal with a Republican governor regarding government employee pensions democrats ran away ~ literally ~ and hid out in Illinois. More than likely this sent a message to their new voters that Democrat politics in Wisconsin extends no further than government employee benefits and retirement packages.

Since so many of the new voters were youth, and have spent the next 4 years unemployed, it's not all that likely they are real excited about voting for Democrats.

It' funny how some in the MSM still think that Romney has a harder path to 270 than Obama. I'm still hearing from some that Romney has to "run the table" on the tossup states if he loses Ohio.

The truth is, Obama's going to need to "run the table".

The way I see it, Romney's going to win FL,NC,VA,CO and NH. Of the five remaining large tossup states - Pennsylvania, Ohio, Winsonsin, Michigan and Minnesota. Romney will just need one of these five to win - Obama will need all five to win - but I think he'll only get two or three at most.

And even if Romney loses all five, he can still win by taking Nevada, Iowa, plus one electoral vote from Maine (without the one from Maine he still get's 269 and installed by the House).

With polls increasingly showing Romney nailing down states like FL and NC (and with the others I named likely to trend that way too) - I just don't see how Obama can possibly win.

Obama would truly need an electoral miracle - he's the one who would have to "run the table" - taking all five of the upper mid-west tossup states, and taking either Iowa or Nevada as well!

[hinckley buzzard]

I wondered too what all the fuss about early voting is about, but the deal is, a vote cast now is not a vote who will just bag it and stay home in November when it is dark and cold and there is a long line. Remember, these are dispirited losers who don't really believe all the obama crap any more anyway.

[Future Snake Eater]

I have been saying it will be so big it will take them 20 years to recover

I tend to advise against such sweeping statements...

[sirchtruth]

Obama could potentially lose ALL 57 states!

[Verginius Rufus]

They can do like they did in 2000—give homeless people free cigarettes in return for voting. They will presumably get an additonal pack of cigarettes each additional time they vote.

It’s interesting that they think every Democrats will still vote for Obama.

[Alberta's Child]

Personally, I think the Democrats are going to look to get Obama out of sight and out of mind as quickly as possible. By the time 2014 rolls around, they’ll have themselves convinced that he was nothing but a jug-eared half-black quasi-Muslim who may not have been eligible to serve in the White House anyway ... as if he will no longer have had any party affiliation at all.

[mylife]

What will Carville do this year when Obama loses?

[ronnie raygun]

It seems Rats are under the misconception that an early cast vote is worth more than a vote cast on election day.

It seems to be the perfect time to commit voter fraud while no one is looking
