There still is the fallacy of recency that you may be falling under.

Just because the last few elections have been relatively close, does not necessarily mean this one will be. The electorate has changed in 4 years. All those naive kids are not as naive. There are new kids, voting for the first time, that have come of age in this economic malaise. There are older folks who are dead now.

I am not saying how they will vote, just pointing out, that just because Al Gore punted to the supreme court and lost, doesn't mean it will be that way forever. People change their minds too.

This is a different time.

P.S. I am 47

If Obama wins a close election= more gridlock
Romney wins a close election= more gridlock

Romney wins big= repudiation of Obama's bullshit.
Obama wins big= validation of Obama's bullshit, and the ushering in of the newest turd world country(USSA)

States that traditionally have been considered Democrat strongholds are now moving toward Mitt Romney, Bay Buchanan, a senior adviser to Romney, tells Newsmax.

“When we came into this general election, it was assumed that the battleground states would be the same ones that they were in the past,” says Buchanan, who was treasurer of the U.S. under President Reagan. “Well what’s happened is a lot of the Democratic states are now looking like Mitt Romney could win them. They are now swing states.”

That means that Democrats have to focus on an additional five states: New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan, Buchanan says. As it is, Mitt Romney and the Republican National Committee have about $25 million more cash on hand than the Democrats.

Based on polls the campaign considers reliable, “Romney is running very, very strong in some traditionally swing states,” Buchanan says. “We feel very good about Indiana now. I don’t think it’s even a swing state. In North Carolina, the numbers show us up as high as five or six percentage points. Florida looks very, very good. It is still within the margin of error, but it’s certainly very strong for us.”

While Virginia looks tougher, “We’re in play,” Buchanan says. “That’s clearly going to go down to the wire. But we’re looking strong in Wisconsin. We got some two dozen offices in Wisconsin. We’re all over the state running very strong grass roots. It’s going to be up on TV, and so we’re going to force the Democrats to use some of their money if they want to hold on to Wisconsin. There are a lot of other states that we’re going to be playing in where four months ago most analysts would have said Republicans don’t have any chance.”

The Obama campaign has taken a huge risk by burning through hundreds of million of dollars in the early stages of the presidential campaign, opening offices in swing states, registering voters and getting to know local communities, but the expenditures have left the campaign dangerously low on cash heading into the final three months of the campaign. The analysis of the Obama expenditures by the New York Times shows that the campaign has spent $400 million from the beginning of 2011 to June 30, 2012.

Funny, but a hard leftist I know has his sources predicting an Obama landslide.

Bay Buchanan

I've yet to hear a campaign adviser say, "[State]--yeah, we're f'd there."
Everywhere is looking good or polls are turning or we're hearing good things.

Electoral "landslide" is not out of the question...though the popular vote will be close.

some of the mormon beliefs are a little unusual and wouldn't play well with many voters if they were bandied about...

Yeah, it's too bad Romney didn't go to a church with acceptable mainstream beliefs and a pastor like Jeremiah "God damn America!" Wright.

I don't know that much about Moromons or care to do research so give me an idea of the beliefs that wouldn't play well with many voters. thanks

They believe in weird, supernatural stuff like a guy who could walk on water, turn water into wine, heal the sick with a touch, and rise from the dead. And over a century ago, some of them had multiple wives.

other than multiple wives thing....I believe the same.

By the way, it seems you know very little about them as I do.
