Fair enough I agree that screaming "Obama lost" is nonsense at this point. I'm personally wouldn't feel comfortable saying that, but what I will agree with is deckers assessment that things are not looking like a cake walk for Obama.It's not nonsense Jillian. I have no dog in this fight. My comments do not come from emotion or wishful thinking. This is going to be VERY close and anyone that thinks that Obama is just going to walk away with this one is in denial. It's going to be close.
I can see Romney winning the popular vote but losing the EC, I can see a tie, I can see Romney winning, but a landslide victory from either of them I cannot see
i agree with your conclusions. where i disagree is that decker in any way represents what obama supporters think.
that's why he's a concern troll.
now let me tell you what someone who DOES have a dog in the fight thinks...
we think... we wish the president hadn't blown the first debate which allowed romney in, even though every position he took was a lie. the fault of the president was in laying there like a latke while those lies were told.
do normal people realize it's close? yes.
is it tighter than i'd like?
hell yes... i can't believe anyone would vote for mr etch a sketch who doesn't have offshore accounts or think jesus should be president.
but thread after thread of lunatics saying "obama's lost"
when are 'liberals' going to "admit" obama lost?
f'em... i'll admit he lost the same time someone who votes for romney would admit romney lost... after the election.
until then, the din from the right is just way too loud... it's like a bunch of two year olds screaming "nah nah nah nah nah"
obviously something that suits some of the louder schmucks around here very well.
My thoughts on the debate are this. Romneys "surge" was a combination of Obamas first debate performance and people being introduced to Mitt Romney. He was vilified (either rightlfully or wrongfully, not for me to judge) by the media/libs. What showed up at those debates was not that man. Whether he really is all those bad things I really do not know, but what showed up at all 3 of those debates was not the kind of man that was being portrayed by the media/libs/pundits.
In closing thats why I_think_he surged and is closing with female voters
my problem with people "getting to know" romney is that every position he took at that first debate isn't really his position. same at the last debate. they are obama's positions. his real positions are seen in the people with whom he has surrounded himself and who are his campaign advisers. all bush detritus. all neo-cons... all radical religious right... all the same people who failed and blew up the economy. of the two senate candidates romney endorsed one is just like his vp choice... misogynist... disgusting policies toward women... which he then pretended at the debate weren't his policies.
also, he isn't half the man his father was. he isn't half as honorable as mccain. his desperation to win allows him to have his surrogates saying the most disgusting things...
like the president should "learn how to be an american"
like he 'shucks and jives'
as he smirks and struts...
if his policies are so good...and he's so good... why won't he talk about them when he has a real audience?
