The election is less than 100 days away. The economy is still flabby, even as the press is shilling like mad for Obama, and savaging Romney. Putting aside both your hopes and fears, what do you think will be the outcome on election day?

Rhymes With Right on Elbert Guillory explains why he is a Republican — and they are words that EVERY American should hear
If I allow myself to give any credance at all to the MSM I begin to worry some I’ll admit. If I trust my gut instinct brought about from talking to friends and family scattered far and wide, neighbors and just listening to the chatter around me as I go about……I’m expecting a landslide of mammoth proportions! Not just Obama either but Dems everywhere and also many Repubs to. People are STRONGLY in a ‘throw the bums out’ frame of mind from what I hear. Not a good year for ANY incumbant and 2010 was just the start I believe.
Rereading that I don’t think I was clear…..a landslide in Romney’s favor of course!
I think if corruption & fraud were at “normal” levels it would be Romney by a HUGE %.
I think corruption & fraud are going to be at an all time high.
Well, it was just reported that Romney out raised Obama for the 3rd straight month. Now that would be news but even more so when we factor in Obama’s penchant for going after enemies. And nothing makes you an enemy faster than not giving Obama your fair share. So the big Dem money is betting on Obama and the other Leftists being out of power.
As for the outcome, I’d expect attempted riots and occupations when himself doesn’t win. To no avail, however, as we saw the “silent roar” has little patience for those who abuse the Constitution, and there will be chicken sandwiches.
It will however be a “surprise” outcome as more and more voters will keep their own counsel and lie to the pollsters and name collectors.
I think the landslide awaiting Obama will make the one that defeated Carter look small. All anecdotal, of course but I don’t hear that many of my friends, the libs, touting Obama they way they did 4 years ago. I’m thinking even the squishy middle is feeling it and most Americans were raised that the “buck” stops at the oval office. Obama can’t blame Bush anymore. The Dems own it….all of it.
Granted, Romney wasn’t my guy but at this point I’d vote for a ham sandwich running against Obama. Ya’ll remember….America is a center right country in the end. Folks gave Obama a chance and he failed, miserably. Hope and Change was a major bust and in spite of the fact that maybe Romney isn’t our ideal candidate, he’s GOT to do better than Obama. Nowhere to go but up.
I bet Jimmah Carter goes to bed every night with a smile on his face, knowing that he won’t go down in history now as the worst President *evah* of the 20th-21st century, lol!
A lot of the above is dependent on where you are, of course. Here in “We’re-damn-near-as-stupid-as-San-Francisco-and-proud-of-it” Seattle, Jug-ears wins, unbelievable as that is to rational beings. Out home (we’re in town for Turandot) in the more thoughtful countryside, he loses badly. The result is predictable to the point where we could save a lot of time, money, and paper and just stay home in November: we already know how it came out. Of Washington’s 39 counties, 36 of them voted Romney, but Shitforbrains got the three where Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia are located, the population centers; so he takes the state.
Same as CA, the vast percentage of which – territorially speaking, will be red, but the counties with the population will be blue, and CA will go democrap. Ditto NY, where the entire state will be outweighed by the city and environs, and will be reliably for continued stupidity.
I think Romney wins. In a just world he’d win in a gigantic landslide – but I don’t think that happens here. It should, but it won’t. But I do believe he’ll win. I am hoping that the American people will not live down to what I tend to think their collective brain power is worth. The campaign from here on gets interesting, though. With not a thing in the world to run on, the only thing Jug-ears can do is behave like a sewer-rat, which ought to disqualify the little son-of-a-bitch on grounds of sheer unseemliness; but as we no longer believe in seemliness in this country, it won’t.

Obama has been throwing around the weight of the US in getting favored policies enacted in order to repay the various Hollywood and corporate robber baron donors funding Democrats. By the time 2013 rolls around, anyone think we’ll have any influence worth speaking of on this planet?
Romney wasn’t my guy but at this point I’d vote for a ham sandwich running against Obama.
If I believed for a moment it would help, I’d eat a ham sandwich.
I am really curious to know how the under and unemployed will vote.
For what its worth. In Cleveland Ohio: Dems who I work with and who are solid dems, and were strongly pro Obama, have nothing to say. They simply dont even want to talk about it. I haven’t said a word. They keep waiting for me to say “I told you so”. I refuse to do it. Its like a science experiment at this point. I think the lightbulb has come on for many people who voted for him last time.
Forget the union vote, the black vote, single women etc.they aren’t voting based upon logic or reason or experience. But young people who can’t find work, won’t side with him they will stay home. The smarty pants dems/limo liberals will not vote for him either. They don’t think he’s up to the job. They can excuse themselves that its not based upon race, but total lack of effectivness, and an effort that appears to range from muddling to missing.
Romney is going to win Ohio Michigan Penn Iowa Fla and Wisc Va
No one is going to be excited about Romney’s winning but there will be relief that we will at least not have 4 more years of the same nothingburger.
PS You can tell Obama knows he is losing by the desparation of his negative shots are Romney. He has to go negative, in hopes of reducing turnout so that his hard core zombies will outnumber those who are not necessarily pro Romney but sure as heck aren’t pro obama. Also, the crazier the lengths they go to smear -Harry Reid’s anonymous tipster– is a great sign that they got nothing. As soon as the Olympics are over, the Country will focus and Pop there goes Obama.
Stay tuned for last minute catastrophe that throws monkey wrench into the whole thing, because wagging the dog is all they got left…
For what it’s worth, Sadie…I just moved to Minnesota and today I registered to vote, along with getting a state ID. I’m both un- and under employed and I’m voting with everything I have, a straight R ticket, whether the candidate is Mitt Romney or Mickey Mouse.
October and November surprises have won more wars for the Democrats than anything else. And in those wars, it was the American people being killed and slaughtered.

There were Yellow Dog Democrats in the post-Civil War South who were so labeled because it was said they would vote for a Yellow Dog if it was running on the Democratic Party ticket. Are you a Ham Sandwich Republican?
Since you are now in Minnesota, and most of Hormel’s production of Spam comes from Austin, Minnesota, may we call you a Spam Sandwich Republican?
Or would that be a Spamarama Republican, which would connect both Austin TX and Austin MN? For those who do not know, Austin TX held a Spamarama festival from 1976 to 2007, which celebrated different ways to prepare Spam.

Romney’s a cautious play-it-safe guy, so I’m predicting a cautious play-it-safe Romney win. The slow python squeeze, kind of like what Obama did to Hillary in the 2008 Dem primary. At the end, there’ll simply be little room left.
BUT…
Obama has the nasty habit of pulling a leprous, cancer-ridden rabbit out of a hat, some supremely nasty trick that gives him what he needs. So there’s always that possibility.
BUT…
The Obama campaign is burning money at a furious pace, just to stay even, sort of. His negatives are keeping him well below where he needs to be to even have a shot at winning. They’re desperate; you can tell. If he had something nasty on Romney, he would *NOT* still be holding it in reserve. They’ll try *something*, that’s for sure. The go-to-war against Iran? He’s painted himself into a corner on that one, so it just won’t work. I don’t see any dirty, nasty trick that will actually work.
Obama’s got some Spanish company counting votes I hear. He’s still got avenues of vote fraud. That’s about it. Keep it very very close, and then STEAL it.
But the way things are going, if trends continue… and if the Tea Party does its massive subtle thing as I expect they will, blindsiding the Dems… it could be one very joyous landslide of an evening! Romney win! Senate win! Republican house increase! Governorships! State senates and houses. County boards. City councils, school boards. Increases in fiscal conservatism and common sense, everywhere you look.
One can wish. And hope. Hope And Change!
Voter fraud makes a difference in a swing state and Obama wins a squeaker.
The Feds are certainly preparing for both conventions. I wonder if the results send the “zero” packing will we see riots post election.
Feds preparing for possible riots at conventions …

*Laugh* OMG I hate spam….in any form! I actually went to one of the Austin Spamaramas and it was hilarious…especially the SPAM toss!! Ewww.
As for being a Spam Republican…uh….no. I rather prefer being a ham sandwich conservative. *grin*
