Personally, I think the Democrats, Obama and the media have gravely underestimated the most overlooked voting group of all -— real Americans that work and pay actual taxes.

These are the Americans that realize what Obama is: a Benito Mussolini wannabe narcissist who hates this country and all that it stands for. A prayer ruggin’ Muslim more comfortable when lying than actually telling the truth. A self-appointed demigod who surrounds himself with American hater fringe people who have escaped prosecution for their crimes. If they get four more years, we are undone completely

TMA...

A guest on Hugh Hewitt last night noted while their maybe long term Theological differences that may never be resolved, two groups that believe in Christ have more in common ( maybe theologically, but more so how they view the world politically), especially in this election cycle that would in essence be a 1 - 2 punch at the polls and they are Catholics and Evangelicals. This is not to take your thunder away, but to add to it, and in a sense was a Ronmey theme last night at his rallye to work w/ everyone one for America. I see these two groups doing just that on the 6th.

I have been saying since the spring, this will be a blowout in epic proportions that will have progressives and liberals stunned and dazed for weeks after the 6th...

[Rush as even said that nearly all pollsters are acting like 2010 never happened.]

Exactly, 2010 is the elephant in the room that scares the hell out pollsters, RINO’s and especially democrats.

We haven’t disappeared, we have just been patiently waiting for the chance to finish the job.

As a lifelong evangelical who views Mormonism as a cult, I could not wait to vote for the candidate with the magic underwear.

I agree with the basic premise.

Evangelicals in the old days tended to stay home on election day. Then around the time of Reagan they started to come out in favor of conservative Christian principles.

But the RINO establishment kept double-crossing them. Just for one example, they turned out big for Bush in 2004, but stayed home in 2006 because they felt that Bush had failed them in the beginning of his second term and neglected to do what he promised. Karl Rove was pulling all the wrong levers.

Frankly, Romney was a lousy choice for getting out the Evangelical vote. He was the left-most candidate except for Hussein’s Ambassador to China, and he was a Mormon. He had a pro-abort and pro-gay and socialist record.

But. They may turn out for him anyway, since he is the only choice left, and Obama is so obviously horrible. In fact, it’s not even all that implausible to suggest that if Obama is not the Antichrist, he is a pretty good substitute. He’s trying very hard to fill that position.

But, God help us if Romney goes back to his old ways. Bush lost that vote after he betrayed them, and Romney will lose them even faster unless he manages to get some real principles.

Meantime, yes, Romney probably will get a good Evangelical vote. Let’s hope he appreciates it.

I am looking for the bitter clingers to get off their butts and vote. WV has gone red, so Pennsylvanians ought to do the same.

Daniel Henninger wrote a fine piece about the role of Evangelicals in yesterday's Wall Street Journal:

Romney's Secret Voting Bloc

I was especially pleased to see Ralph Reed was working in Ohio, as he had a lot to do with Bush's victory here in 2004. Here are a couple of paragraphs from the story:

Ralph Reed, the president of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, has been spending a lot of time in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in the belief that evangelical support for Mr. Romney could be decisive. He notes that when George W. Bush won Ohio in 2004, the Kerry camp thought their dominance of Democratic Cuyahoga County around Cleveland had the state locked up. But Mr. Bush's solid support in evangelical-dominated counties from Cincinnati to the West Virginia border carried Ohio by two percentage points.

Mr. Reed notes that in several opinion polls—NBC, Pew and ABC—the percentage of evangelicals claiming to support Mr. Romney has been in the mid-70s. "We estimate that in 2008 there were 350,000 evangelicals who didn't vote in Ohio," Mr. Reed says. "Obama carried the state by 260,000." If that support of 70% or more holds for Mr. Romney in Ohio, and if the share of the evangelical vote increases by a point or two, then the challenger could carry the Buckeye State.

It saddens me that Christian preachers are, for the most part, afraid to say anything on Sunday mornings for fear of losing their tax exempt status. I’ve never understood why a church should me making a profit to begin with. At the end of their fiscal year, if there’s any money in the account, give it away.

But I think another problem they have is all the years of standing in the pulpit and condemning Mormonism. I’m especially offended at Johnny Hunt who stands in the pulpit and says even though he doesn’t agree with “President obama”, he prays for him. I stopped listening after that so I don’t know if he ever prays for the Mormon like he prays for the Muslim.

The base did come out and vote in 2008. McCain didn’t do his part. McCain didn’t deliver the independent voter.

In 2010 the independent voters threw the dems out.

You people are dreaming if you think evangelicals are going to vote for Romney.

I work for a high-profile Christian publisher that is suing the Obama administration and HHS. Four years ago I’d bet 30 percent of our company, which is very conservative voted for Obama. I’d be shocked if Obama exceeded five percent this year and our turnout will be 80+ percent.
