Wayne Allan Root is a former Libertarian Vice-Presidential nominee and a Las Vegas oddsmaker. Root states up front that he won’t vote for either Obama or Romney. Being a Libertarian, his first choice is Ron Paul, but since Paul is not running as a third-party candidate, Root’s going to vote for Libertarian Presidential candidate Gary Johnson. Even so, Root thinks Romney will win in a landslide.
He presents some interesting historical facts that he says point to “a resounding Romney victory.” In 1980, Root points out, “Reagan was losing by 9 points to Carter. Romney is right now running even in polls.” Root offers the following on popular voting blocks to back up his landslide claim:
1. Black voters. Obama has nowhere to go but down among this group. His endorsement of gay marriage has alienated many black church-going Christians. He may get 88% of their vote instead of the 96% he got in 2008. This is not good news for Obama.
2. Hispanic voters. Obama has nowhere to go but down among this group. If Romney picks Rubio as his VP running-mate the GOP may pick up an extra 10% to 15% of Hispanic voters (plus lock down Florida). This is not good news for Obama. [Editor's Note: Obama’s latest immigration ploy could affect the Hispanic vote. How Romney responds will make a difference.]
3. Jewish voters. Obama has been weak in his support of Israel. Many Jewish voters and big donors are angry and disappointed. I predict Obama’s Jewish support drops from 78% in 2008 to the low 60s. This is not good news for Obama.
4. Youth voters. Obama’s biggest and most enthusiastic believers from 4 years ago have graduated into a job market from hell. Young people are disillusioned, frightened, and broke — a bad combination. The enthusiasm is long gone. Turnout will be much lower among young voters, as will actual voting percentages. This not good news for Obama.
5. Catholic voters. Obama won a majority of Catholics in 2008. That won’t happen again. Out of desperation to please women, Obama went to war with the Catholic Church over contraception. Now he is being sued by the Catholic Church. Majority lost. This is not good news for Obama.
6. Small Business owners. Because I ran for Vice President last time around, and I’m a small businessman myself, I know literally thousands of small business owners. At least 40% of them in my circle of friends, fans and supporters voted for Obama 4 years ago to “give someone different a chance.” I warned them that he would pursue a war on capitalism and demonize anyone who owned a business…that he’d support unions over the private sector in a big way…that he’d overwhelm the economy with spending and debt. My friends didn’t listen. Four years later, I can’t find one person in my circle of small business owner friends voting for Obama. Not one. This is not good news for Obama.
7. Blue collar working class whites. Do I need to say a thing? White working class voters are about as happy with Obama as Boston Red Sox fans feel about the New York Yankees. This is not good news for Obama.
8. Suburban moms. The issue isn’t contraception; it’s having a job to pay for contraception. Obama’s economy frightens these moms. They are worried about putting food on the table. They fear for their children’s future. This is not good news for Obama.
9. Military Veterans. McCain won this group by 10 points. Romney is winning by 24 points. The more our military vets got to see of Obama, the more they disliked him. This is not good news for Obama.
Add it up. Is there one major group where Obama has gained since 2008? Will anyone in America wake up on election-day saying “I didn’t vote for Obama 4 years ago, but he’s done such a fantastic job. I can’t wait to vote for him today”? Does anyone feel that a vote for Obama makes their job more secure?
Forget the polls. My gut instincts as a Vegas oddsmaker and common sense small businessman tell me this will be a historic landslide and a world-class repudiation of Obama’s radical and risky socialist agenda. It’s Reagan-Carter all over again.
But I’ll give Obama credit for one thing — he is living proof that familiarity breeds contempt.
I think this is wishful thinking. He’s not going to lose without us making sure he does.
For the sake of the country and the next generation, hope you’re right. Another four years of this guy could crash us.
Obama’s constituency are the MSM. Without them, he collapses. They continue to push his lies, especially his lies about his past. Marinesses’s (sp?) new book is no conservative screed. The author is a died in the wool lefty. Yet even he admits Obama’s past is a fairy tale.
It is the MSM that refuses to cover the truth about Obama’s past, and the scandals this administration is part and parcel to...that keeps him afloat.
As long as the nightly news programs, the Today Show, The View, and other mainstream shows continue the lies most will never hear of them.
We must get the truth out.
Dr. Jack Kelly (the guy who is the originator of the Reagan Doctrine) agrees with this and even says the Democrat Party could possibly cease to be a national party because of all the crap coming down the pike.
Mitt will get between 325-340 in EV’s which is not a landslide but gets the job done.
Every picture I've ever seen of zero indicates .. no one wanted him around.
I've seen this ever smilin' kid before ... MANY times ... he's the kid that smiles to cover up his loneliness.
His self centeredness has been carefully cultivated over the years for his survival, and his little Ceasar persona is that of the little guy driving a big truck .. " See what "I" can do ?"
(self admission of a retired little guy, big truck driver)
zero's an asshole and now the entire planet knows it.
And he's back to square one ... no one loves me.
Tin Foil Prediction #238 ...
zero will have severe psych problems within ten years .. maybe even commit suicide.
My gut has been twitching for months now. Could be because my family wealth and security has slide into the abyss! From Wayne’s mouth to God’s ears, I hope he is correct. Four more years of this and I WILL be on the bread line.

Why President Obama Will Lose in a Landslide
“8. Suburban moms...”
What in the world were THEY thinking in 2008???
Defeatd?
Depends on how many votes he can manufacture due to dead voters, illegal voters and nonexistant voters.
Remember what Govenor Walker said, “he needs to win by more than 5 percent to make up for all the dems illegal votes”.
...please not Condi Rice....a Colin Powell in a skirt.
What happens when “Hitler finds out that Obama lost in a landslide”?
Hitler: “Yetzt, there’s still Kalifornia. When we get the results from Kalifornia, alles kommt in Ordnung.”
Jodl: < stuttering > “Meine Fuehrer...” (trails off)
Keitel: “Meine Fuehrer, MSNBC hat Kalifornia fur Romney gekallt. Herr Matthews hat seine wrists geslaschtet.”
Hitler: (removing glasses) “The following men will stay here, Keitel, Jodl, Krebs, Burgdorf, ...”
The desperate attacks against the numerous state voter I.D. laws proves your point. Election fraud is the Dems’ ace in the pocket. Without it, they are utterly sunk.
Here is why obama will lose:
He's done his job. Nothing can prevent the coming collapse.
His successor, a GOPe pick romney, will be an ineffective moderate who will be incapable of executing the necessary measures to prevent a total collapse.
The GOPe will take the blame. ALL of it and the demonrats will sit back, laugh and say "TOLD YOU SO!"
Be prepared...the game has been decided already.
But I guess it will still be appearing to be close in late October ? Can pollster be able to indicate the victory by the convention. Or there will be post con bump.
I think Romney needs to kick off the campaign on Labor Day , just like RWR did against Jimmy Carter , at Liberty Sate Park.
From the article, a question you will never see discussed by political pundits:
Is there one major group where Obama has gained since 2008?
Root is a football tout who make money off degenerate gamblers. His show on sat morning to convince people to pay for his predictions preys on people with gambling problems. So IMO he is garbage.
That said he is right Obama is heading for a blowout. His approval numbers are around 43-45% Rasmussen and Gallup both have the Race at ~47-44%, republicans are up 7% in the generic ballot.
With 80% of the undecideds going to the challenger, you could be looking at a 54-45% Romney win, Yes a landslide.
With so many Americans being distracted today by the Internet and cable television, they are too dumbed down to make an informative choice. I seriously doubt that a landslide is coming our way. Hopefully, I’m wrong.
