but what makes you think that :

1 - the moderate/RINO repubs wouldn't work with Obozo

Because they will have just seen the moderate RINO candidate given the heave-ho in no undertain terms, and they won't want to be next. A Romney loss would motivate them to move right in order to save their own skins.

2 -- What does Obama have to worry about in a second term? Weak? Vulnerable? To what?

Vulnerable to the lack of support from those within his own party who see that he is a pariah with whom association poses the real risk of alienating the Democrats who rejected Obama at the ballot box. It's clear that Obama's support is ailing and that many former supporters loath him now. Also, Obama would be vulnerable to a Republican-dominated Congress that will fight him every step of the way and who, if Obama gets a plurality because he lacks this year even 50% of the votes, will be backed up by hard numbers proving that Obama lacked resoundingly a mandate in the popular vote, that the majority of Americans voted "against" him. This kind of Obama scenario would EMPOWER conservatives in every way.

Give Obama a second term and he can pull the plug on the life support that our republic is limping along on...doing far more damage in his second term...damage that would be irreparable.

Folks said that four years ago, and two years ago with predictions that Obama would "outlaw" the midterm elections. With respect, FRiend, that sentiment smacks of panic., and panic is the path to mistakes.

Yep. I'm about tired of seeing this fearmongering "OBAMA WILL CANCEL THE ELECTIONS WITH AN OCTOBER SURPRISE" nonsense from otherwise rational people.

I see where you are coming from...however I think a Romney loss will simple encourage the RINO's. Their party line will be 'conservative platforms/candidates can't win' even though it will be conservative Tea Party candidates kicking arse at the same time Romney loses.

Look at the 'enlightened' pundits after the mid-terms...they couldn't get their heads around the FACT that conservatives were beating moderates in the primaries and winning a general election.

The party elite will spin a Romney loss to their advantage...the party must move to the middle as Romney lost because he moved to far to the right. (I know...he has a long way to go to move right of Marx. /hyperbole)

I think a Romney loss will embolden RINO's to work with Obozo.

As to this statement:

I most definitely disagree.

Obama has already demonstrated his disdain for the limits imposed on his office with respect to his collectivist agenda. Given 4 years where he has no re-election to worry about and I don't see much he wouldn't executive order. That's not alarmist, that's a reasonable extrapolation of his future conduct based on his past conduct.

and I too appreciate the rational dialogue without the vitriol...be well.
