I have a feeling this election is going to be very, very close...
I know some believe it is going to be won by a comfortable margin. But my old bones tell me differently. Republicans believe they are going to win. Democrats believe they are going to win. Just like a basketball game, the one that wants it the most will work harder to get out the votes and will win the election.

Personally, I fail to see how anyone could be enthused about voting for Mitt Romney. But that does not mean they are not enthused about voting against Barack Obama.

In my life, I have noticed one thing about elections. When Democrats vote, Democrats win. When Democrats don't vote, Republicans win. It is as simple as that really.

kentuck ... my hat is off to you sir!  That is the most profound statement I've ever read.  Gee, who would have thought that if your party doesn't vote it will lose.  Huh.

As to the part about voting and winning ... how did that work out for you in the last election?

KC

On Edit;  By the way kentuck, I don't think you need to worry about the election being close.  I can feel it in my bones.

15. And the aftermath won't be pretty either

The loser will be sore, very sore. There will be recriminations, especially if THEY lose.

Yeah.

If Barack Milhous loses, I'm not expecting any gracious concession speech.

And there will be riots, fueled by the most racially-divisive president in American history.

My only concern is the seventy some days following the election.

If there are riots, they will be fueled by new LED widescreens, not the jug-eared muslim, and they'll be confined to 0bamaite hellholes.

The savages who riot aren't very political.

As Earl Butz famously observed, they only want loose shoes, tight p***y, and a warm place to shit. If you add bags of weed and LED widescreens, they're in heaven.

The political 0bamaites are too cowardly for violence.

That won't stop him from issuing executive orders, and having his cronies at various agencies doing their damnedest to cripple the US.

I called it a month or so back.  I Predicted a Romney rout by about 10 pts.  Nothing has happened to make me question the prediction.  Way things are breaking out it may even be a larger margin.

Romney in the White house , the Reps retain the majority in the House , Odds are the Dems maintain a majority in the Senate. The Reps in the House are going to have to Blitz the talking head shows and Romney use the bully pulpit to get things done due to Senate blockage on anything good for the country.

Based on all available evidence I think Obama done already bested Jimmy as the worst.

If the Kenyan wins next week, he'll get probably two Supreme Court appointments.

If that happens, you can kiss the Second Amendment goodbye.

And I fail to see how anyone could be enthused about voting for another 4 years for the jug eared socialist. Yet you goons are. All the howling over the 5% unemployment rates during the Bush years, and now you celebrate 7.8% as some stunning achievement. You people at DUmmyland are insane.

The other day I saw a few signs but today I paid attention because my daughter said when she was out trick or treating that Romney signs were everywhere.  So when I was taking her to her riding lessons I looked around, she is right, they are everywhere. I didn't think to take a picture but I will tomorrow.  Not one Obama sign.

Be afraid DUmmie, be very afraid.

Have yet to see a Bronco Bama sign.
Did see one in N. Carolina during the NASCAR race.
Both of the neighbors had several Romney signs out.
Kinda got a laugh out of that.
I have seen a couple bumper stickersdown this way, but, that's it.
The Romney/Ryan supporters don't do stickers.
That's just an invite to have your personal propery damaged.

I still see signs and stickers for Obama, since I live in Massachusetts -

- HOWEVER -

Their numbers are far smaller than 2008, and they only seem to be carried about by limited protected groups, primarily by Prius owners, gay people, and gay Prius owners.
