Dick Morris has been warning folks about this very thing. That the pollsters, by and large, are going to try and create a self-fulfilling prophecy by telling everyone that since the election is already won by their Glorious Leader, why should anyone bother voting for Mitt Romney. As a rapper once famously said, "Don't believe the hype".

I sent the following email the the writer of the article...lets see if I get anything back from him...

Comrade Weisenthal,

Your missive to the masses about the futility of the electoral college was perfect. Comrade Alinsky would be very proud of you in your dedication to the revolution. Soon, with the hard work that you and others are doing in aiding him, Comrade Obama will banish that dirty bourgeoisie Romney and the masses will be led to the gloriousness of the peoples’ socialist workers paradise. Reactionaries such as Dick Morris are attempting to spread lies about you and the other comrades who are working to bring the truth to the masses, saying that you are attempting to sway the outcome of the election. Keep it up; then only the hard-core fascists will go and vote for Romney, that vile capitalist running dog. FORWARD!

That almost makes me want to grab my red banner and leotards and march on May Day.

Starvation Politics?? ... I like it!

Absolutely, and I'm only half joking. City people who want to eat should be mindful of the rights of the rural people who feed them.

Cut off oil produced in NIMBY locations and out of state power generation, and let's see how the "elites" in New York and Los Angeles handle the real world.

Sorry, but this goes right along with what Dick Morris was saying about the "pollsters" (and obviously others) doing what they can to influence people's decisions...if you go to the Wikipedia article on the guy, he is an supporter of the man currently occupying the White House...so, I take anything he has to say or show as propaganda designed to influence the election for HIS candidate of choice.

I would agree except for the fact he called the 08 election within .2%

A broken clock is still correct twice a day...

Josef Stalin used the Red Army to go from town to town in the Ukraine and take all the food away from the people...they then starved. I'm not saying that our uniformed military would do this, not in the least...but what if the Occupier-in-Chief arms all those starving people and sends them to "take what is theirs"? Improbable, I know...but there is NOTHING that I put past them now, nothing.

Obama will not win this election. The anger of "real people" is palpable.
Evidence the overwhelming turnout in support of Chick-fil-a.
Evidence the support for Starbucks "local laws" gun policy back in April.
Evidence the tea-party-backed Congressional rout in November 2010
Evidence the continued winning record of tea-party-backed candidates in the primaries.

Thinking people are angry. Many will come out and vote that normally don't bother.
We The People are realizing that not-voting has brought them to this place.

Obama's loss will be wide enough to be shocking. The media will blame it on racism.

You heard it here first.

Fox 26 in Houston this morning was touting that Obama's lead is widening on Romney, partially due to attack ads that have been run recently. It is still a long way to November, especially considering Romney has not named a candidate for VP yet.

I'm really starting to think you are right. I think the left is AFRAID. They've got NOTHING on Mr. Romney worth anything...that's why they are now at the stage of making it up as they go along. And they count on the bulk of the media, Foxnews included, to run this stuff for them. Yep, fear...that's what that is coming out of the left...FEAR...and the more I see of it, the happier I get...NOBAMA, 2012!

Here's the real reason Obama will lose...

In 2008 Obama won for 2 reasons. George Bush and Racism.

George Bush was the focal point (rightly or wrongly, I'm not commenting on GB-II policy here) for everything people perceived as "wrong". The War, The Economy, Global Warming, you name it. The Left successfully blamed him, and thus the GOP, for all our ills. GB's inability to make a speech without looking like a hick didn't do him any favors.

Racism played into 2010 in a reverse way. What many people saw in Obama was a well-educated, well-spoken black man. A man they could vote for to prove to the world that they (the voter) were not a racist.

Both of those reasons are gone. Bush is a memory, and since "I've already proven I'm not a racist by voting for Obama in 2008" I don't have to make that mistake again.

Obama will lose. It won't be close. People are angry and, I pray, smart enough to see the news and realize that "Hope and Division" is not a real solution. It's Romney's to lose.

I posted this in another thread also, but here is some encouragement:

Obama is not unbeatable:

Obama's ratings:
51% disapproval
43% approval

Friday, August 10, 2012

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 43%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

Just keep in mind, it's not the people who elect the president, it's the Electoral College.
It doesn't matter if Texas votes 51% or 100% for Romney, we still get 38 electoral votes.
California can vote 51% for BHO and they get 55 electoral votes.

Which is why it is so bloody important to fight the good fight in the battleground states and to aggressively pursue the opposition in those states on which they believe they have a lock.
