When one candidate has polled ahead consistently the entire campaign and currently polls 1.6 points ahead on an average of 16 polls released this week, right after his opponent’s vice presidential pick bump, there’s definitely a desperate loser in the race… it’s just not the candidate you think it is.
+1
You think the Base is holding its nose voting for Romeny? Romeny is holding his nose sucking up to the base (well not really, but if he had any integrity he would be).
No he doesn’t. The minimum threshold of acceptability for President is to not be a Republican.
Just wanted to point out that Nate Silver has Obama’s chances of winning back up to over 70%, and his electoral college count back up to over 300. You used to endorse 538.com.
So, I’d say it’s working pretty well. Keep pickin’ those cherries!
Was that chest build up with money that [del]investors[/del] some rich voters expect to see it grow and then they will deposit it outside the USA helped by an administration that will offer less oversight on moves like that?
I think that due to the fact that my post was written caused you to miss the tone in which I presented that statement. It was not a ringing endorsement of Mr Romney rather a bemused comment on the bar that his own base apparently accepts for him.
Of course, I could have simply missed the tone of your reply and you’re just playing along. Who knows?
Ironic?
Also, I’m surprised. No mention of the donor’s position on global warming?
No worries, I got your tone, and appreciated the implications.
I’ve just been getting a little cranky about all the election coverage lately, with EVERYBODY ignoring the elephant in the room* that is the fact of the unsuitability of any Republican ever again sitting in the White House.
*(you should pardon the expression)
And that it’s a bad thing that Obama spent a ton of money defining Romney while Romney hasn’t been able to really land a hit on Obama. Not to mention that all the Romney ads are full of lies.
This is false on two fronts:
- The challenger doesn’t win most of the time - usually the incumbent wins.
- The incumbent is a known quantity. It’s up to the challenger to prove he would be better than the current office holder. That pretty much makes it a referendum on the challenger: “Is he better than what we have?”
