Oregon hasn't voted for a Republican candidate since 1984. Oregon went for Obama by more than 16 points in '08; even Kerry won the state by four points. Every significant survey taken in the state this campaign has given Obama the edge. The RCP average stands at Obama +8.5. If you think Romney is going to carry Oregon, you're barmy as buttered beans.

Last night on Foxnews during the Bill O'Reilly show, they admitted that Romney was doing very poorly in the swing states. When a network like foxnews admits that Romney has little chance of winning, then you know there's a problem!

Young people are on fire for Obama, just as much if not moreso than in 2008. Republicans only have themselves to blame.
Which young people would those be? Those at an Elect Obama picnic?

You're kidding yourself. You were probably one of those Yes, We Can fools.

Obama racked up $6 trillion
failed stimulus
50 million on foodstamps
personal incomes down 7.5%
personal savings down 40%
poverty rising
war on coal
no domestic energy exploration
disasterous foriegn policy
open door immigration policy
suing Arizona
Fast and Furious
Solyndra


I cannot believe the nation could be that stupid. A vote for Obama is a vote against prosperity.
You are correct, but America has become fat, lazy, and stupid. It could go either way.

No, that's not what it means at all. It means that Bill O'Reilly is not as biased as liberals paint him to be.

Republicans: its time to start strategizing now how you are going to make inroads with younger people in 2016. Millennials may never vote majority for Republicans, but you can capture more than the 20-30% Romney is getting. That is the only way you will ever win another election.

if you are talking this way, then what that tells me is that hussein is losing and you are trying your best to get people to feel disenfranchised to vote your way.

lets see what happens in november with hussein.

I see it a whole lot closer than that map shows, nor do I believe it's over for anyone at this point. Debates can sometimes have a big impact. There still is a lot of pent-up anger over everything Obama has done and tried to do.
Nonsense. Everything Obama has done and tried to do were not unexpected. Health care reform, financial regulation, pulling out of Iraq, getting bin Laden etc etc....these are things Obama said he would accomplish when he was campaigning in 2008....and HE DID. So those who are angered by these are either idiots or are simply not paying attention.

You're so clever when you call Obama by his middle name! Did you think that up all by yourself?

The GOP has to change its platform. There's no way it can win a national election in 2020 with its current platform. By then, boomers will be old.
