Paul Ryan would have say the R&R team is going to eliminate SS, Medicare and Rowe vs Wade not to completely trounce Biden tonight.

...oh wait he did say that, my bad.

Link to Ryan saying all 3 of those things? I'd be interested in a video of him saying each and every one of them.

Relax, Ronnie Republican...it was meant as a joke. Even though the Dems would want you to believe Ryan wants to make these things happen.

Mark it down....When Romney wins the election there is going to be MASSIVE whining over voter fraud....but but but the polls said Obama was a done deal so the Repubs had to steal it.

Most, if not all polls, are oversampling Dems, significantly in many cases. And everyone knows it. But I suppose using 2008 results is plausible denialbility, and since they are all doing it no one risks getting knocked for quality or accused of manipulating. I think the former is what is really happening. I think actual turnout is incredibly difficult to get a handle on for this race and so defaulting to the 2008 model is something they can defend.

I'm fully aware of the fact Mitt Romney may win...I've prepared myself for it


Some of you have not prepared yourselves for the fact President Obama may win

Serious answer...I act like it sometimes

Serious Answer 2-Did you pay attention to any Republicans on the huddle in the days after the 2008 election when everyone of them said Acorn stole the election for President Obama?

I'm pretty sure everyone on this board knows there is a possibility Obama will be re-elected. With that being said I will add to gut's last post by saying I wonder how long it will take someone on MSNBC to throw the race card on the table if Obama loses.

On the flipside...how long will it take for someone to cry voter fraud in Obama wins?

Comments like this are just completely pathetic and what's wrong with this country. One of the main reasons I hate discussing politics. Who exactly got their ass kicked again? Obama is serving EVERYONE as this nation's president, not just the democrats. It's people like you who would probably root for a particular president to fail just because he isn't democrat (and I am well aware idiots do this as republicans too). Just simply pathetic. Get a life.

TOTAL BULLSHIT!!

50 percent of Republicans wanted the man to fail from the get-go. Look at several posters,and hell the Congressional Republicans had a meeting the day he came into office and said."we're going to do everything we can to impede him"

If Mitt Romney would happen to win,I'll support him because I'm a decent human being and I love my country. I won't have to like everything he'll do,but I'll hope he does well.

I can't say the same for some Republican posters here

Yup, the whole point of my post went over your head. It's useless even trying to explain it to you.

I actually had Obama pegged as a future POTUS long before 2008. That election was never in doubt. But now that he has an abysmal track record for the world to see, running on charisma isn't enough. In fact, he's given-up on that approach and pretty much sold out to the blame, lie and demonize strategy.

You were corrected once before about the "#1 priority is preventing Obama's re-election". That was late Oct 2010. And I can only speak for myself, but I gave Obama's policies plenty of time to fail. Nobody wanted or wished for what we've had the last 4 years. Just because that's how you view life and what you will do if Romney is elected doesn't mean everyone plays the sour grape fiddle.

+1 McCain didn't stand a chance after 8 years of Bush.

+1 again. Why anyone would root for a president to fail and as a result the country getting weaker is beyond me. I wasn't happy when Obama won, but I sure as hell hoped he would turn the economy around. If he did a great job I would have voted for him, but he simply has not done a thing that warrants my vote.

I wasn't at all depressed. I liked the guy, but I could not in good conscience vote for such a complete economic dumbo. I hoped I would be wrong. Sadly I was not.

New poll. Obama only has 47% of the Jewish vote. Compared to 78% last time.
