1) Blacks will vote for Obama blindly. Period. Doesn’t matter what he does. It’s a race thing. He’s one of us. That’s why the media destroyed Herman Cain so handily. Too big a threat.
2) College educated women will vote for Obama. Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory. It’s really not more complex than that.
3) Liberals will vote for Obama.
4) Democrats will vote for Obama. He is the leader of their party and his coat tails will carry them to victory nationwide.
5) Hispanics will vote for Obama. He is the path to citizenship for those who are here illegally and Hispanic leaders recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic Party.
6) Union members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. He is their key to money and power in business, state and local politics.
7) Big Business will support Obama. They already have. He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained largely from his connections with Big Business and is gaining more every day. Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political agenda.
8) The media love him. They may attack the people who work for him, but they love him. After all, to not love him would be racist.
9) Most other minorities and special interest groups will vote for him. Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and Muslims will support him because they won’t vote Republican. American Indians will support him. Homosexuals tend to vote Democratic.
10) Approximately half of independents will vote for Obama. And he doesn’t need anywhere near that number because he has all of the groups previously mentioned. The President will win an overwhelming victory in 2012.
At best, the GOP might keep the house. The best chance for the GOP is 2016, unless Hillary Clinton runs, then they will have to wait til 2020 for their next time they incumbent the White house.
In 2008 these groups turned out for Obama in massive numbers and he only won by 5%...now Obama faces an enthusiasm gap. It's going to be close unless Romney does something stupid and picks a VP like Palin, Obama is the favorite but it is far from over.
Romney has already done several "stupid" things, like ignoring the middle class:
Leading Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney laid out his prescription for America’s housing crisis while campaigning in Nevada last month, saying policy makers shouldn’t “try and stop the foreclosure process.” “Let it run its course and hit the bottom,” he said. In the state with the highest foreclosure rate in the nation, that earned Romney a strong rebuke from Gov. Brian Sandoval (R).
A few weeks later, at a GOP debate hosted by CNBC, Romney again declared that as president, he would do nothing to ease the housing crisis. “Markets work,” Romney proclaimed.
The housing crisis remains a serious drag on the country’s economy. American homes have lost $7 trillion in value since 2006, four million borrowers are either delinquent or in foreclosure, and a quarter of homeowners are underwater. Romney, however, continues to either misunderstand or willfully ignore both the causes and effects of the crisis, opting for misguided political hits instead of addressing the fact that his “hit the bottom” strategy will only deepen the crisis that is holding back our nation’s economic recovery.

Herman Cain's wandering eye and hand destroyed Herman Cain. His stupid comments didn't help either, Syria, uh, em, uh, what's Syria. 999!!!

I agree. If Obama's victory was due to these people that give him slightly more than a razor thin margin of victory, he has trouble waiting for him. But, of course, I'm smart enough to know that the GOP will NOT save us from destruction even if they pick Romney. It will be more of the same.

In terms of the electoral college, Obama won in a landslide. 365-173.

He won by 7.2% and that translates into nearly 10 million votes. Biggest margin of victory in over 20 years.

I know several college educated women, in my own family, I will add and many of their friends that will not be voting for him.
Many of those who voted last time for him will not this time, they will most likely not vote.
I would bet more than 1/2 the independents will not vote for him.
The Jews, most likely will be more split this time around
If your reasoning on minorites is true, how do Republicans keep getting elected and how come the latest polls show the race about a dead heat, depending on the day and particular poll?

Democrats think they own the non-white races. Times change, and the GOP will change as the Hispanic category of people grow and grow, so will we see a rise in the number of Hispanic Republicans being elected. When it comes to social issues, the PRI is to the right of the Democrats, and in some instances, to the right of the Republicans, and the PAN is to the right of the Republicans. So, I don't know where they get this idea that the Mexicans will embrace the white Democrat ideology, which stands at odds with the Mexican-American electorate. With time, the Democrats will go back to the way it used to be, and probably reject the white San Francisco Bay liberal way of life. There are little to no LGBT rights in Mexico outside of the Federal District, and abortion is more restricted than here, and the majority of Mexicans in Mexico are ok with that. That's who the future electorate is.

It was 365 - 173. Popular vote doesn't mean squat if you don't have the electoral votes, and it's possible for a president to win even without the popular vote.

Majority of polls are as accurate as a very drunk person playing darts.
