When Romney loses, what will history say

[240 is Back]

I thought voter enthusiasm would be way down... BUT what i'm seeing is people waiting in line for 6 hours in Miami... wow

[MCWAY]

I'm not sure why you are convinced that this election will be an exact repeat of 2008 regarding who goes to the polls when, but I guess we'll know soon enough.

Because, unlike 2008, Obama has a record. And it SUCKS. Therefore, you have lower turnout (particularly among younger voters and black voters).

And, with the whole novelty of electing the first black president now gone, it's safe to say that Obama's turnout will NOT match the 2008 turnout (the early voting numbers prove it).


Obama won Ohio by amassing a HUGE lead in early voting (over 340K). McCain got more votes on election day. But, that lead of Obama was too massive to overcome.


Now, he only leads Romney by about 75,000 or so. If GOP turnout even matches what McCain got, Romney overtakes Obama and wins Ohio.

That the American people spoke.

Vote for love of country.

If you love your country you dont vote for a big government huge spending warmonger like Romney

[whork]

Like the fact the majority of gov't assistant recipients are Republicans?

In their defence many republicans have no education and low I.Q  so its harder for them to be succesful and get employed

[whork]

You just got government guaranteed student loans and mortgage and you earn your meager living thanks to the existence of a government institution (the court system)

Boomm

[whork]

Agree.  The people will have spoken tomorrow.  Will be a sad day for the country if they give Obama another four years. 

Regardless of the outcome, we need to support our leader and hope he is successful. 

+1

Jesus Christ dude - really?  He has no intention of working w the GOP and what he wants is a disaster for this country. 

I'm hoping for him to have a disastrous second term mired in scandal over libya, fast n furious etc. 

Him succeeding equals amnesty, cap n trade, tax hikes, etc.

Fuck that and fuck him along w every stupid fuck voting for him.  Only a turd would even consider voting for obama. 

So half the country is turds?

[whork]

maybe they are just pro-rape and forced pregnancies

 

[whork]

I view the Republican congress as traitors to this country for focusing on seeking to end Obama's presidency while ignoring a struggling economy. Their obstructionism was the very definition of treason.

This!!

Don't know about 50%, but I would say about 75% of Obama voters are worthless parasites, socialists, communists, tax sponges, etc.

What do you have to say about the fact that the largest block of Republicans is in the rural areas of the U.S. For the most part Democrats live in the cities? In Oregon, the Portland Metro area and Eugene are mainly Democratic while the little podunk logging towns with a bunch of rednecks are Republican. Most of the south also votes Republican. Seems like most Democrats live where the action is, so to speak....places like Manhattan where you live....you must feel like an outcast.

Correct.   I live among a lot a of guilt ridden white leftists.

Something must be wrong with me. I am a Democrat and I am white, but I am not guilt ridden at all. Why is that?

you do realize that it is in fact a fact that red states accept the most welfare, food stamps and pay the least amount of taxes right? these tax sponges are majority repub, it's simple math, which makes sense since the large part of their base is inbred rednecks with no education.

That's a pretty broad brush.  How do you know the majority of welfare receipients in a "red state" are Republicans?

Then explain why the bulk of people with less than a high school education vote DEMOCRAT. Per CNN's exit polls, here's the vote by education background for Obama, McCain, or a third party candidate, respectively.

No High School (4%)
   
63%
   
35%
   
2%
   

 
H.S. Graduate (20%)

Some College (31%)

That simply means that the blue counties within the red states that soak up all that welfare.

[The Enigma]

was the most relevant reason for his failure?

The pathological lying?
The biggest "non" plan in the history of anything that was planned or required plans (that no specifics were ever shared about)?
The war on women?
The math that just doesn't add up no matter what?
Mitt's campaign itself declaring that Mitt didn't mean what he just said as soon as he finishes talking?
Sandy?
Bani capital?
Overt racism?
Auto bailout?
Romneycare?
The nerdy wonky VP pick?
General dislike that everyone has for Romney/Ryan as persons?
The positive economic news lately?
Anti-immigration sentiment?
Anti-union?  Anti-gay?  Anti-gun?
Lousy surrogates?
Loss of support from prominent Repubs and general dislike from his own party?
Christie traitorous turn with Obama?

Really, what's the whining and crying tomorrow night going to be about?

Mitt never should have F'd the babysitter.

Flip flopped on abortion.

Flip flopped on Romney/Obama care

The useless 47%

Sucking up to Jews in Israel

There arent many dem in red states

[LurkerNoMore]

A simple google search shows that conservative red states have the highest rate of high school drop outs, unwed birth, teen pregnancies, poverty, and lack of college education.

And take a wild guess as to how those folks vote. Hint: CNN exit poll 2008.

Seeing how they are from conservative red states, I would pretty much think that was an indicator.  Of course if you are going by the the biggest turn out in election history, that does NOTHING to change the fact that these so called Bible states are the worst off in the nation.

How many Democrats versus Republicans are on welfare in "red states"?

I doubt it.  That was sort of the point.
