ELECTION SPOILER: Obama wins in a LANDSLIDE

(20,018 posts)It isn't a set of polling results.
Hence it isn't a landslide.
Election models predicted a Gore win in 2000 and yet the GOP stole it.
Obama may win, and if he does, the PTB may even admit it and let him keep the White House for another four years, but this isn't going to be a landslide.

(1,134 posts)If theres one thing Ive learned from being raised in a state thats uber Republican (UT), being educated in a state thats Democratic (NJ), and living in a swing state (FL), it is that conservatives always think they are winning, even when they are losing, and liberals always think they are losing, even when they are winning. Ill bet the psychologists among us can cite literature to bolster this claim.

(7,515 posts)that begin 'regardless of your ideology': who will make the stronger leader, who will keep the world safer, and who will be better at fixing the economy, all favored Obama. 57%, 68% and 51% respectively. Amazing.

(12,958 posts)the republicans will cheat so heavily that Romney will barely win in the electoral college, hanging on a few key counties, in a few key states, due to obvious cheating.
I believe that the GOP does not want the election to be resolved come Jan 21, swearing in day, thus throwing the country into a constitutional crisis, so they can pressure Obama to drop out 'for the good of the country.'
Hey, these guys are psychopaths. The cheating is so massive, widespread and systematic that this is a real possibility.

And no one, NO ONE, likes him.

2000 and 2004 have taught me many lessons.

(32,723 posts)But let's face it. in 2008 guys were standing in line as if Palin was spread eagle behind that curtain.
This time they got a rich Mormon and a guy who wants to get rid of Medicare and Social Security.
I know a guy who's a die hard O-Reilly fan to the point where he got a doormat that says, "You are entering The No Spin Zone" and he's planning to sit this one out. As a matter of fact, he plans to go on a Mediterranean cruise to Rome, Athens, Rhodes and Cairo.

(2,397 posts)Well, I guess we don't have to worry then--especially after seeing the WaPo-what the fuck poll claiming Mittens is slightly leading in swing states. Its on this website too on the front page. So who are these frigging insiders? Where do they come from? I remember several months ago people on here were throwing around the word "landslide". I haven't seen that word posted here in a few weeks. Yes, I am getting sick of all these fucking polls. I believe the Prez will win--based now on this Sansata story that should just bury the asshole who doesn't give a shit about jobs in this country. He only cares about China and $$$$$. Anywhere else they would likely throw him out of the country. We should follow suit.

When you give Liberals bad news, they want to kill themselves.
