Why were the conservatives so silent for a long time? What's the matter? Did your balls fall off after Mitt Romney shot himself in the femoral artery after those snide remarks he made about the 47%? I can't wait to see Barack Obama mop his butt all over the floor in the debate tomorrow. It's going to be a blast.
Attention all Republicans!!! Attention all Republicans!!! Barack Obama has just been reelected!! I repeat!! Barack Obama has just been reelected!! I guess those legitimate rapes and binders full of women didn't win Mitt Romney the White House after all. What say you about that?
You have the worst sitting president in US history as your candidate. Now he has the additional loadstone of Obamacare, which most Americans oppose, hanging around his neck.
Obama loses in a landslide, as he has lost the independents. Further, the young and minority voters, which turned out in record numbers in 2008, will not show up again. Bo is toast. Look at any poll of LIKELY voters. Keep in mind as well that Carter led Reagan three months before the election.
Best scenario for Bo? 156- 232 electoral votes. He is gone and good riddance.
The poster with the tageline NO EXCUSE FOR IGNORANCE demonstrates that he hasn't the foggiest idea what goes on in American politics today, while doubling-down on the lack of a clue by insisting (falsely, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that utter ignorance, not deceit, is a valid excuse) that Carter led Reagan in July/August 1980 (he didn't -- Reagan led from early summer all the way to election day in the polling aggregate).
The only candidate I think even has half a chance is Mitt Romney, and he won't be able to pull it off either. He's the only Republican that'll keep it from being a landslide victory. Don't be surprised if several Republicans get voted out of office after the government shutdown.

Don't be surprised if he wins by a landslide. I'm 80-percent sure this next election will be a runaway victory for the Democrats.
Also, the conservatives can't find anyone who measures up. Mike Huckabee already stated he probably won't run. That man has too many skeletons in his closet, furthermore. The guy is an right-wing evangelical Christian for one thing. Plus, he pardoned a guy who killed several people in Arkansas, and he has a son who was ousted as a Boy Scout leader for torturing puppies. Those alone are wild cards that will disqualify him from the race. Sarah Palin will be lucky if she even makes it to the primary. I'm sure she'll run to massage her Alaska-sized ego, too. Not even John McCain stood a chance playing his veteran card, so I'm positive the same is true about the other Republicans.
Barack Obama's ratings are now higher than that of either Clinton or Reagan around this time frame during their first terms. What you're also forgetting is there are more black voters than ever before. They'll probably pour into the polls more so than they did in 2008. Myriad Hispanic voters are disenchanted with the Republican Party as well. Not to mention recent college graduates like yours truly are disgusted over the way Republicans haven't done a damn thing about unemployment and even wanted to slash benefits for the 99ers. They're the ones that gave tax cuts to big businesses.
I'm hoping when Scott Walker gets recalled which I'm sure he will, our friends in Wisconsin will spark the catalyst towards something big. His being ousted will leave a bad headline for the Republicans and cost many of them their seats. I'm half-expecting the Democrats will regain control of both houses again after this whole debacle Bush got us into. Unless something terrible happens, I see no way he WILL NOT get re-elected end of story.
Strange how you got all of these right. Are you from the future? You made this prediction over a year and a half ago LOL.

I'm just good at making prognostications. The GOP still lives back in the 1950's and forgot that women make up more than half the population. There are more than enough women, minorities, and homosexuals out there to make the GOP go extinct or at least put them on the endangered species list. The only reason why they still have control of the House is because of all the gerrymandering. Don't be surprised if even more lose their seats in 2014 once Obamacare goes into effect full swing and women get the same healthcare as men for the same rates.
