“Vote fraud only works if it’s really, really close......”

___________________________________________________________

I don’t think it will be close either. I base this on the following:

1. Obama has lost the independent vote and his doubling down on liberal issues will make it even worse.
2. His war on women has backfired and he will not get the women’s vote.
3. Back in 2008, there were around 10% republicans who voted for O, probably of guilt and to show their liberal friends they weren’t racist. That will not happen this time around.
4. I think the youth vote is up for grabs. The youth voted for O in 2008 but with unemployment in this age group so high, they will be cool to him in ‘12. Lets assume he wins this group.
5. O will win the black vote.
6. No enthusiasm. In 2008, there was A LOT of enthusiasm for Obama and that drove a high turnout for him. Today, there is NO enthusiasm for him. Even if Obama wins the youth and black vote, there will be low turnout for him this time.
7. He will win the union vote but that is a given for dem politicans. Actually, I have run into more and more union people who will not vote for him this time.
8. Lastly, Obama has lost the the manufactured “magic”. When he travels and speaks, it is to smaller empty auditoriums. Can you imagine him on the campaign stump in August-October?? In 2008, he was drawing Tens of thousands. This time, he will draw only thousands in dem friendly areas. Remember that Biden got booed in a St. Pat’s parade in Pittsburgh when he got away from the beginning of the parade where the unions were.

Voter fraud only works in close elections. Based on the above, Romney should be 5-10 points ahead in states races, making vote fraud not effective.

Obama hasn’t even begun to spend money yet.

A liberal like Romney with his record of flip-flops doesn’t stand a chance.

He’ll be licking obama’s boots just like lap-dog mccain was in 2008

He has his hand on the freakin’ black box. Can’t these pollsters lie to him so that he doesn’t get crazy? If they won’t, then perhaps those polled should. Everyone, if a pollster calls, say you strongly approve of BHO and think he’s doing a peachy keen job. Use that phrase, so that those that know will know that the poll has been tampered with.

I really fear vote fraud on a grand scale this time.

If it's not close, they can't cheat. Think a Reaganesque landslide.

Don’t care for Romney but care even less for Obama.

While I cannot support Mittens and will probably write someone in, at least once can see that Mittens is the non-Communist on the ballot for Prez.

I think the only thing that may save him is an Azz-wupping of Iran or North Korea.

North Korea is out because the Chicoms might lob nukes into DC or Kenya and hit him and his family.

So if I had some money, I would bet Iran gets smashed in late September so he can take the economy off the table and run as a Hero in September - October.

Please, America give this punk the boot. Then probably give Romney the boot in another four years...

All we are saying is give conservatism a chance.

Honest question -

what, really, can a “poll watcher” do to prevent fraud?

And even if they document blatant fraud, has any such documentation EVER overturned an election?

Good analysis and perspective, TMA62.

I don’t think its close at all.

I’m thinking Romney will take 45 to 47 states as long as they don’t start a war.

"This is when the skinny little race pimp can be dangerous. All is likely lost for a second term, he knows it, we know it - a truly cornered rat."

I think he doesn't want it. He wants what Bubba wanted -- President of the UN. But he does want this final year of his admin to be memorable.

Me too.

Most blacks are NOT enthusiastic about voting Obama. Almost NO ONE but the craziest liberal is enthusiastic about Obama. The same could be said about Romney, but there are people enthusiastic about voting Obama’s ass out of office any way they can. I’m guessing 5-10% margin of victory for the Republican nominee.

Obama’s got his resume in for the position of AC, to be sure.

I wouldnt be so sure , I saw voter fraud on a massive scale in the 2008 elections and it all was going down with protection from the local police. “Early voting” can bring in millions of votes, thousands bussed in to vote multiple times a day over a period of weeks . All the votes get sent to democrat controlled County Recorders Offices , 99% black, 100% democrat managed by appointed officials in all the “blue” counties. Saw it with my own lying eyes, I told Breitbart about it
