He DID fight as long as he could. What, you want to give him points cause he didn't demand a coup to put himself into power or something?

7-2 vote that all the ballots weren't treated the same, you disagree ?

Obama’s Past the Point of No Return Published by Dan Collins on June 13, 2012 \| 3 Responses I'm pretty cautious with these predictions, because I'm no CAC at Ace's or Karl Bade, but I think I can say with confidence that Obama's re-election chances are doomed. It's taking major sample manipulations for the pollsters to keep him near 50%, and we're talking of eligible voters, not registered or likely voters. And his base just doesn't have much to favor him for; it's as Peter says . . . they're demoralized. The DoJ is going to try to make sure that there's wide latitude for cheating at the polls, and the Proggie operations are going to pull out all the stops, but it will be too little, too late. Never before have I witnessed a man so lazy be so arrogant. I'm not saying that the two can't go hand in hand; I'm just observing that he is beyond two standard deviations on both counts. Four years ago, I started saying that Obama's Achilles' heel was that he's a douchebag, and nothing he's done has caused me to change that opinion. Even when Rocketman and I praised him for making the call on bin Laden . . . well, we learned later that the call wasn't his and that he would try to steal valor from the soldiers who risked their lives to get that SOB. Obama has been coddled so long, he doesn't understand that there's no longer a professor who can shorten his workload for him. His career has finally brought him into contact with the real world. There are prerequisites for re-election that can't be elided. Never before has a White House guest of the American people made himself so obnoxious so quickly for so long. There's no longer a corner of the country that can't catch a whiff of that dead fish odor. The lapdog media turned a corner, according to some critics, when they called the President out on his insane remark about how the private sector was 'doing fine.' I don't expect them to call it anywhere near down the middle, though. They squandered their prestige getting this guy elected, and while they're scraping the bottom of the barrel they're going to want to sell newspapers and advertising by claiming that the race is closer than in fact it is. They'll keep plucking that chicken as long as they find rubes to buy it, and there is no shortage of rubes. It's garbage time, folks. The interest now is in dirty tricks and underbus tossing. I'm not saying let up, by any means, though. I want these people pounded to a fine paste. Metaphorically.

And NOW Obama's DHS is refusing to give Florida their copy of eligible voters so that the state can purged its voter rolls. This is far more egregious than any "hanging chad".. govexec.com Hawk
