I guess you don't understand. This election is about the economy and the economy is terrible. Obama has already lost.

I am really amused by the liberals who actually think that Bo has a chance. His poor economic performance has doomed him, and the unemployment rates have been the nails in the coffin. I am shocked that anyone with any common sense thinks he has a chance at all.

I am sure that the wishful thinking among libs is simply "carrying the water" for the party. All of those on this board who ASSURED us that Obama would win will deny having ever said any such thing. That is the beauty of liberalism (based in Stalinism)- truth is relative and one simply changes history to suit one's purposes.

Obama is set to speak tomorrow. They had a stadium all picked out, only they cancelled that venue "conveniently" and are claiming it's because of a "weather" issue. The fact is that they are busing in spectators from all over North Carolina as well as from out of state to fill the new "smaller" venue.

Sad.
Ever been in Time Warner Cable Arena? Here ya go - TIME WARNER CABLE ARENA CAPACITY

5000-7000 Delegates and 15,000 press will pretty much take every seat.

The football stadium, Bank of America Stadium, had tickets and credentials in the hands of 65,000 people before the venue was changed. It's been raining like crazy, off and on here for a week since the hurricane hit the gulf coast.

~good grief

20 seat range? Even I could make such a prediction and then brag after the fact that I was "spot on."

Romney could win all of the toss up states. The reason? In presidential re-elections the challenger gets 80% of the undecided. Read it and weep libs. Romney leads in every swing state taking that into account.

He called 49 out of 50 states right in 2008 and had every senate race right. He missed two senate seats in 2010 because the polling under polled spanish speaking hispanics. The guy knows his stuff and is a repected statistician. You and whoever else can ignore the data. I'll stick with the guy who actually knows what he's talking about.

Do you have a source for that information? The busing in "spectators" from all over North Carolina?

I am sure I will not. This election is like it already happened. Just as in 2008, in which ANY DEMOCRAT was going to beat the republican, 2012 is an election in which ANY REPUBLICAN will beat Obama.

The economy is terrible and people are frightened about the future for thier families and the nation. Obama has failed for the last four years and the majority of Americans know that we cannot afford another four years of incompetence. It is that simple. The poor economic performance of the Obama admin dicatates that he will be defeated in November- he has no chance.

It is about the economy as they say. However, Romney/Ryan haven't done a good enough job explaining how they would make the economy better. The swing voters and independents aren't buying into Mitt Romney. Running "not Obama" isn't enough to beat President Obama. That is why Obama is going to win.
