Romney Will Win Big

The dems will keep digging until they find something bad on Romney, true or false.

Of course that's true. Partisan politics is nothing new. If Obama was less well known, the GOP would keep digging for something bad on him.

More leftist blah bla blah, yada yada yada........

I am correct: I have read nothing in this thread that changes what I said in the first post: Romney will win, and Obama will go into the trash heap of history where he belongs with his buddies Stalin and Mao

More rightist blah blah...

Obama deserves to lose (and I won't be voting for him), but Stalin and Mao? Hyperbole much?
 
I don't think "big" wins are possible right now. Too many of us have polarized into camps (roughly equal, size-wise). True independents are rare birds and such a small percentage that, when they do throw over their support it only makes the win by 5-10 points.

I think Romney has a shot at winning though. We'll see if that lasts and whose October surprise is the best kung-fu. In the end, the larger impact is who takes congress and what the resulting makeup looks like.
 
I agree this may not be very close at all. This could be called fairly early.

A lot of liberals are going to stay home, and a lot of independents think a lot of Romney. Obama's abysmal record on pretty much everything has taken the starch out of the "let's make history" crowd of 2008. He's exposed as the fraud he is.

Romney will take Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, Virginia, Missouri, and perhaps Pennsylvania, and this night will end early.

Fair enough. You're right, we'll probably never see another Ronald Reagan 49 state landslide again. Today, I'd call a 10 or 15 point spread "big".

So, you don't think Romney is duping people by going from a moderate, centrist Republican as MA's governor to a hard-right GOP-er just to win a national election? You don't think THAT'S duping people???

"Lamestream Media"...lol, what a parrot.

If Romney moved so "far right", then why did Bill Clinton and a host of other prominent Democrats shower him with praise over his "stellar business record"?

The only thing I've seen Romney focus on is the economy and Obama's actual record as president. What is it about a Free Market driven economy and criticism of Obama's failed policies that you consider "far right".

What could change this is a widespread perception of Obama's incompetence. The sense that he's in over his head, that he's the reincarnation of Jimmy Carter, could swing a lot of votes that he would otherwise easily get.

I agree, however, those votes will come from the independents, which may garner Romney the win. The democrats actually like Jimmy Carter.

Of course, but if swing voters break heavily against O, the election won't be close, despite the narrow partisan split.

I very much doubt Romney wins by 10-15 points. Even Reagan in 1984 only won by 18%. His landslide win over Carter was only 9%.
 

Democrats fall in love while Republicans fall in line. anon.
They don't have to like him, they don't have to like anything he does, he's the R's candidate. :peace

Just my two cents.
Romney will not win big.
He is not liked well enough.

Us old guys remember 1980. It was around six months until November. The polls in the Liberal Lamestream Media had Reagan at around 38% and Carter up in the 60's. The media painted Reagan as dumb, a boob, out of touch, and the war monger likely to start a nuclear war.

Sound familiar? Its the same old song and dance from the left.

Mark my words: Romney will win big because the people won't be duped by the media..... ..except for the liberals of course, who actually want to be duped.

Reagan was a great President, but would not recognize the GOP of today. You can "remember 1980" all you want, but you ain't gonna get it with Mitt "I'll tell you whatever it is you want to hear whenever you want to hear it" Romney. If ever there were a truer definition of RINO other than the actual animal.

What are you going to do when you are wrong? One of them will win, the split will be 50/50 plus some noise.
 
Just my two cents.
Romney will not win big.

But will Obama turn out to be DISLIKED enough for Romney to win big? We'll see!

This is a very sad statement towards our current political system.

I was in my mid 30s and i dont remember any Polls saying Carter was ahead of reagan....I remember reagan being a head from day one...
Romney isnt a Reagan and Obama isnt Carter....and fox news and talk radio more than override any liberal media anymore
 

I think that you are counting on a surplus of low information voters. Anyone with eyes & ears knows that President Obama has accomplished much more than the minority rule R's thought he would.
Not saying there's not plenty of low information voters. :peace

Why do you say that? I've been voting for the least bad alternative for forty years, and I hardly think I'm alone.

When you're voting against someone and not for the best person for the job, the system breaks. That's how you lose a Republic right there.

Voting against one guy automatically means you think the other guy is better, does it not?

As an aside, I hardly think the unbridled, slavish enthusiasm for O four years ago turned out to be good for the Republic!

You can't fool me.
Both parties have their supporters who fall in line.

The repubs I know, do not like Romney, and will not be voting because of it.
They tell me Romney is a RINO.

By the drool for Obama that is plastered allover the net, I doubt it.
 
No one denies that the Romney-Bot has made a lot of $$$ in business & there is nothing wrong with wealth in & of it's self. The Romney made his pile with investors money & Bank loans, concerned himself only with making a profit, often at the expence of working people. Pirateing pensions, withdrawing profits, better spent on a continued propping up the business for long term business health & profits. Causing the business to not have enough opperating capital to avoid bankruptcy, letting the Taxpayer bail out the pension.
He is not the kind of businessman who has any interest in building a product or starting a store to add jobs/taxpayers. :peace

Can anyone tell me how things will change for the better with Romney? Or are we just going from Bush to Obusha to Obamney?

My opinion of the Repugnantcans and The Democraps couldn't be any lower. I'm exhausted by Obama. However, I haven't seen anything from Romney that sounds like a plan. Indeed, I don't think there is a plan (other than giving himself a nice tax cut).

Specifics appreciated. Hyperbole makes me tired.
