Change your sentence from "The South" to "Democrats" and your statement will have some truth and you won't look like a complete hypnotized Obama zombie.

Count me among the MANY people who will be voting for President Obama who did not vote for him in 2008. There are a lot more of us than you think.





Any time a poster comes up with this comment it tells me he/she doesn't have a clue what they are talking about, and they are trying to convince themselves that what they are doing is right. Oh yes there are many of us and if you don't believe me just ask me.

Your from the south and so I am. I'm not sure how you can disagree with the statement. I mean how could you even argue it.

do you not read the whole thread. I posted the results of 04 and 08 elections, and rasmussen, was the most accurate. Yes he is conservative, but his business is polling, and a lot of it, is private sector work. At the end of the day these firms want to be dead on, cause they can hang their hats on their polls being right.

What comment? That I didn't vote for him last time but will be voting for him this time? That a lot of people will be doing the same thing? Are these comments really all that outrageous?

Better question: If you are already so sure that you're going to win, why do you care?

The answer: You're not sure. Deep down you know you are going to lose, and it's voters like me that can't wait to make that happen for you!

At that point you might as well just go fishing on November 6th.
Thats one of the dumbest predictions I've ever heard..

I know very few people who don't like others based on their race. Maybe you grew up in a bad neighborhood. Did you happen to pay attention to the polls when Herman Cain was surging?

The only place that I see saying the election is over is MSNBC. Everyplace else says it's a dead heat.
