I have felt that a landslide is very possible but hesitated to say it for fear I would jinx Romney! This is the same reason I am afraid to watch some football games.

That's because I went out on a limb Tuesday and said, "it's over, we have won" and got no support. I guess I am the only one with this level of confidence. No, I am there with you, but complacency kills, and there is too much at stake on this election. I won't count them out until December. This article does raise my hopes quite a bit, and I expect much more of it in the next week or two. The dirt has not even begun yet. The best response is laughter.............. MSNBC’s Touré: Romney Engaging In The ‘Niggerization’ Of Obama "“That really bothered me,” he said. “You notice he said anger twice. He’s really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the ‘otherization,’ he’s not like us.” mediaite.com HUH???????????????????????

LB...............I guess you missed it, but I said it's going to be a landslide 5-6 weeks ago. You are not alone!

I read your "out on a limb" post and wanted to agree, but I'm too much of a coward to get my hopes up enough to put it into words yet. :)

I have been convinced that Romney was going to win for quite some time. I am convinced that Obama got every possible vote that he could have got in 2008. If you look at it in stock terms, in 2008 Obama's voting stock had a blow-off top. There's only one direction from there....down. The independents who voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 didn't change so much that they are now extreme leftists. Instead, they decided to give this young unknown black guy a chance. If you look at the 2008 election results and specifically at the states where Obama only won by 3 or 4 percentage points, you can assume that they are going to swing back to the Republican side. Romney wins by a significant margin when you look at it that way.

I can only speak for myself here....I would LOVE it if you are right about Romney winning, LB! I "hope" he and Ryan complete mop the floor with the Dems, and Obama..... BUT, with the media so omnipresent, and not telling the truth, but rather, just blabbing propaganda, on so many things, and the possibility/probability of voter fraud, I'm very nervous about it. Perhaps it is better that we are more nervous about the entire situation, and don't let our guard down.....We need to volunteer to help in some way, and support even with a small amount of money, the Romney-Ryan ticket. We turned down the RNC yesterday, at least for now. Hubby gave the guy that called, a piece of his mind (and included some of mine as well)....Especially for not challenging whoever it was of the "30 that decided yesterday to bash Romney for his choice of Ryan".....Who are those "analysts" and " advisors"???? He said "Call us back in a month or so....let's see how and what you've done before we donate even a penny more..." Also, told the guy that we will be sending what we can to individuals in several races, including the Romney-Ryan ticket. That's because I went out on a limb Tuesday and said, "it's over, we have won" and got no support. I guess I am the only one with this level of confidence
