This why Romney will lose the election, no doubt about it.

So you're not going by polls except when you're going by polls?

Indiana and North Carolina are off the map for Obama.

He has zero chance of winning a state he lost last time and so it is impossible he will get 400 EV's.

He won't get 300 EV's.

i'll be happy when it's over so we can get back to talking about either how obama is the worst president ever or how great romney is but obama left the place such a mess there's nothing romney can do to prevent it from getting worse.

Independents are a huge group and probably MORE likely to vote.
Florida leans Romney. 400 is inane. obama isn't running a good campaign at all, unless you think hiding behind his water carriers is strong.

The undecided independents are not a huge group. 

How can you say Obama isn't running a good campaign?  The economy is in the toilet, he's got a drunk for a VP, he no longer has a military imperative to lean on, half of the country thinks he's a socialist.  Obama should be getting killed!  He's running a great campaign.

the polls show Obama with the lead, and they have all along, if you want to go off the polls.  Obviously, we're playing the role of prognosticator.  My prediction is an overwhelming victory by Obama.  The election map bears it out.  The low interest in Romney's running mate bears that out.  The increasing influence in Latinos bears that out.  The fact that his own party doesn't really support him bears that out.  He's gonna get killed.  Maybe pulls in 153, maybe.

No, no it does not. 

The low interest in Romney's running mate bears that out. 

In the first 4 days after the Ryan announcement Romney took in over $10 million, 68% of which was from 1st time donors.

Nearly 90% of the Americans who gave $200 to Obama's 2008 campaign haven't re-upped this year.

Mormons have to turn in tax forms to prove they are giving 10%

Does it matter? It's called freedom of religion and he is free to chose to stay with the church or not. Just as you are free to join a church or not.

None that I know do that..but if a person is devout then the numbers would theoretically match up perfectly.

Wouldn't the IRS do an audit if they believed something was amiss?
I am not talking about something being amiss on the 10% tithe. Talking about his whole return.

We may have to vote for the lesser of two evils here; choosing the debt-raising spending spree we are on now over the middle-class squeezing economic attitude of those whose income is in the upper 5% of Americans who want to keep what they have and mandate those who really make this country function (factory laborers, teachers, firemen ...) pay a disproportionate amount of their income because they do not qualify for the many tax breaks the wealthy take advantage of. 

This is the political section of a gambling based forum. As people who enjoy gambling, we should band together to keep the powerful members of government from making all forms of gambling more difficult to access than it is already.

At least Obama is willing to let each state dictate what they will allow. It is my hope that all 50 states will progress to the attitudes embraced by Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey and allow some form of gambling on sports, and ideally, allow those who choose to play poker online to be able to without repercussion.

Wow, even Fox News ripped Ryan's speech for being blatantly dishonest.  Another bad sign for the Romney campaign.  I also read he's got like <1% of the African American vote.  Add that to the lack of Latino support and he's a dead duck.  Obama > 400 delegates = win.  Either way, the country loses.

Do you know the difference between having huge built in advantages and running a good campaign?? He has a fawning media and has been campaigning for four years. He's running a piss poor campaign. He's spent $100 M to be tied with Romney in August. That is awful for an incumbent who has yet to feel the heat of Romney's campaign. Your perception of Ryan is dreadfully flawed as well. The momentum is on the side of RR. You are right about only one thing, it likely won't be close.

The most important speech of his life so far and it was horrible.
Rubio's speech much better.

Romney will be destroyed as election gets closer...shouldn't he be up by 10% against the socialistic communistic muslim Kenyan now?

You're speaking of the advantages all incumbents have!  Ryan's speech got ripped apart by Fox News, did you read it?  Ryan's just another Marilyn Musgrave, both candidates having been endorsed by The KKK, which, ironically, has their WI chapter in Ryan's home town!  The Romney/Ryan ticket is a loser ticket all the way.  Their support base are white men with submissive wives.

Nah, Paul Ryan's speech was laudited as one of the great VP speeches of recent time. Of course, obama's shit throwing monkeys dumped on it, but what would you expect. PR is widely considered the sharpest budget guy in Congress (even by the left) and that is what the country needs. Since I know you hate to look and facts are like an enema to the left, support has surged for Romney since his choice of PR.

Have you seen the video of the fading obamlini poster?? Very very accurate. Where are the jobs, Mr Joke and Chains??

No, actually a liberal contributor posted a bunch of lies as evidence Ryan is a "liar"

It wasn't Fox News.

"So far, the polls indicate that Obama gained considerably more from his convention than did Romney, who got only a small bounce, from his. How much further Obama’s lead will grow and whether it proves lasting will be key questions over the next week."

l.a. times

Romney's gonna get killed.
