He'll be able to hold enough of them to get another four years.
People are people, that group think mentality is for racist and sexist people. You know, like the dems.

I predict a bloodbath along the lines of Nixon-McGovern.
You know what you're problem is? Listening to and believing the MSM as they try to create that very meme.

The second problem is, as a leftist and obama supporter, attempting to understand the mindset of republican/conservative voters.

See, we outnumber you dramatically.

And your problem is that you want the GOP to win so badly that you've created the fantasy in your mind that they really will.

Who's the one with fantasies in their head?

You claim obama will win these states;

LA, SD, ND, MS, AL, MO, TN, KY, IN, NE, AR, WV.

He's got his hands full trying to hold on to PA, WI and MI, which are considered SWING states this go round.

What makes you think an even weaker candidate then McCain in Romney can flip enough states to have a chance vs. an incumbent who will be outspending him 2,3 sometimes 4 to 1? An incumbent by the way that is personally liked by a majority and has near a 50 percent approval?

Lightbulb lol...

This place is full of dreamers who have no idea the demographics nor makeup of the districts where this battle will be fought.

We have tears coming out of our eyes looking at some of these.

Are you folks even paying attention to where the President speaks on a daily basis?
