Romney campaign claims Obama firewall "burning" LOL

[primaryblue]

How can they even say this with a straight face?

They don't lead in polls of any of the three states and never have. They may have narrowed the difference in Wisconsin and Iowa, but they can't credibly claim to be ahead in any of the three. It's just not supported by any sober look at the polls...

1. Could this be the set up for a stolen election?

[Lex]

3. just bloviating fools more likely

[teddy51]

5. That concerns me greatly, and still would like to know how the Obama

folks can deal with this.

[DonViejo]

17. Last week the President referred to Myth as a "bull

shitter," he is. But, so is his campaign and that's all his campaign is doing now, bull shitting. If you haven't all ready read some of the replies of DU'ers to this Romney claim , check them out.

[teddy51]

19. But there are reports that the lier flipped votes in the Republican Primaries!

[Grateful for Hope]

14. No

This election will not be close enough to steal.

[regnaD kciN]

20. Any election is "close enough to steal"...

...if it's being done on voting machines with no paper trail.

[Grateful for Hope]

21. ok

[Grateful for Hope]

22. What you are basing your fear on

is 2000 and 2004. Do you not think that after 8 years that we don't have this covered?

[AverageJoe90]

31. Maybe not. That's why GOTV is essential!

I've got no doubts that they'll try to pull something. But at this rate, they won't succeed in a full steal. We've kicked too much ass at this point.

[sadbear]

2. They always say that shit.

Doesn't mean they believe one word of it though.

[Lex]

4. They don't want their big donors to quit giving money down the home stretch

to a losing cause.

[progressivebydesign]

8. we have a winner, folks!!! you're absolutely right! they'll have bills to pay on Nov 7th nt

[DonViejo]

13. Yep, you're correct Lex! They also do not want to

depress their vote...make the defeat even worse for Myth and Queen Ann

[MrSlayer]

6. They can't just concede today.

They know full well that they're done but you have to go down fighting.

[ksoze]

7. I want some of what their smoking

[demgrrrll]

9. About this time in the McCain campaign wasn't Steve Schmidt saying they were making the biggest

turnaround in history.

[DrToast]

10. Yup...this is pretty standard talk from the losing side

McCain was in PA the day before he lost it by 11 points.

[DonViejo]

15. Yes it was. And if you consider Schmidt credible...

he wrote in his book that he informed John McCain, on October 15, after the last debate of '08: we're going to lose. I think Myth's known for at least a week, the party is over; "I'm gonna lose"

[demgrrrll]

24. So do I that photo of him on the plane with Bush and Rubio looked tragic.

[DonViejo]

32. Two or three weeks ago an OP contained

quotes from Bush the Elder and Bush the Dummy. The old man was endorsing someone (Iforget who) but the Dummy was asked about Romney's chances of winning the election. The Dumb One said, "it doesn't look good." The OP article reported he was getting his info from Karl Rove.

[DCBob]

11. Last gasp of a dying campaign.

they are now just saying and trying anything.. hoping something, anything might work. It wont.

[nc4bo]

12. Psst - Hey WilLIARd, that's not OUR firewall burning...

[IMG][/IMG]

It's your campaign

[muntrv]

16. Rmoney hired Baghdad Bob?

18. Time to write concession speech, Mittwit.

[yellowcanine]

23. It's Romney's firewall of Florida and North Carolina which is at least smoldering if not on fire.

27. Yeah, really...

At least Obama has a "firewall"

What is Romney's...?

[Floyd_Gondolli]

25. Halperin is the only person buying it

Shit, the Romney campaign probably doesn't believe it.

[BlueDemKev]

26. Oh yeah, it's "burning" all right...

...burning up Rmoney's candidacy!

[TheSlayer]

28. ....and?

That is what they are supposed to say. You get in big trouble if you concede before the election.

As always...NATE SILVER, INTRADE...etc....

[Grammy23]

29. Uh, yes...in their dreams....

[Rosa Luxemburg]

30. Romney is done
