Mitt Romney Throwing the Presidency appreciation thread.....

That's not the sole purpose for people voting against Obama. I guess all those Republicans pre-Obama weren't real.

It's not da sole reason but you outcho fukkin mind if you don't think it's da PREDOMINANT reason.

His "policies" are just a bullshyt cloak for dat TRUE reason....dat cism. We ain't stupid outchea, we know all da code words and bs excuses dey comin up wit not to vote for buddy. But anybody wit common sense knows what time it is.

And i'm not dat big of a fan Obama and got mah own issues wit dood but dat cism has bubbled up n overflowed since he got into office.

not to mention Obama got overwhelmingly elected by WHITES. black folk only make up 13% of the population.

 

[kermit da hustla]

Virginia, NC and Florida are key.

Ohio and Wisconsin are going to Romney/Paul

The rest are iffy.

Not even close. There are some hardcore bigots out there. Trust me when I say I've encountered them, but that's not a sole reason people vote against him. The flip side to that would be 99 percent of blacks voting for Obama because he looks black. 99 percent of Blacks would vote Democrat if Sandra Bullock was the nominee.

Honestly, I think the poll numbers will sway back and fourth, but in the grand scheme, it will all come down to the debates. And right now, Obama doesn't have much to ride on. The "release your tax records" antics are only tolerable but for so long; eventually he'll have to pony up on answers about the economy in front of a live audience. He'll either rise, or sink like a stone

This is true. Obama cannot think on his feet when it comes to economic issues.

If the economy is in the crapper come debate time, Romney will make him look like an amateur when he starts throwing economic terms and concepts Obama has no real grasp of.

The economy will be the primary focus of the debates. There's no way around it.

Obama got a lot of softball questions in 2008. That will not be the case this time.

Not really. White people are the vast majority of votes, but Obama lost the white vote by double digits. He got 43% of the white vote and McCain got 55%. Obama just destroyed McCain in all minority groups...blacks, Asians, Jews, Asians, etc. Exit polls: How Obama won - David Paul Kuhn - POLITICO.com

That's why you see Obama kissing so much small-town blue collar white ass. He knows he already has all the minorities on lock and needs to get those Reagan Democrats.

Tis true brotha...ya gotta point dere but i still think him bein black adds dat extra ummph behind folks not votin for em.

Either way it's a case of da lesser evil right now. All dese politicians will say whatever dey have to in order to get votes anyway.

I disagree with the tone of this post. The majority of this country is white so by default no matter the candidate white people will make up the majority of the vote, but your post implies that the black vote is useless. It's very important and without it the Democrats would lose every election. If Republicans got just 30 percent of the Black vote, the Democrats would be in big trouble.

That would also force our demands as a community to be met. If the black vote was actually up for "grabs" there would be sprawling campus like High Schools with the best teachers in every community.

wow. that's interesting my bad.... i thought for sure it was over 50% 40% is still a sizeable amount of white americans to have on your team tho

lol...you are such a clown. In 2008 you were bashing Obama for not being progressive enough, quoting black socialist thinkers. Now you're dikkriding Mitt Romney and his top-down laissez-faire supply side economics ideology . Make up your mind.

Obama will mop the floor with Romney in the debates btw.

man, since the southern strategy, the republican party has BEEN about nothing but on black people. yes, that is the sole reason for these cacs to vote against obama. politics in america is largely about managing what occurred in the wake of full integration of black men and women. entitlements. health care. all of this "concern" about the deficit is just a smoke screen for bigoted republican pieces of shyt who want to strangle any assistance to poor, predominantly black communities. there are other geo-political concerns, of course: oil, israel, terrorism, etc. but domestically speaking, post-jim crow reconciliation has been the undercurrent of our times.

It's a nice thought. But keep in mind that Obama will not be debating against an elderly John (one foot in the grave) McCain or a Sarah "look you can see Russia from my house" Palin dog & pony show.

Obama won in 2008 52% to 45% and that's with the benefit of "hope and change" from a Bush led economy and war. Romney and Ryan are most definitely a stronger challenge and Obama really can't run against the Bush era on this one. He will have to take ownership and do some explainin' .

Appearenly he'll have to make history a second time. I don't think any President since FDR has been reelected withan unemploment rate higher than 7.3 or an approval rating less than 45%.

I give Obama credit in the fact that he is a GREAT orator and he has done a wonderful job playing class warfare in the last few months. Romney will have to come up with something concrete rather than just criticism.

All in all I think the current polls are somewhat useless. I honestly think it will come down to how people take in the debates.

John McCain basically gave that election away by claiming that the "fundamentals of the economy" were strong even as it was hitting the fan!

McCain had a poor command of economics and it showed in the debates. Obama obviously has little command of economic concepts. But, McCain's lack of knowledge was so apparent that it made Obama look somewhat better!

That will not be the case with Romney.

All he has to do is not come off as combative in the debates and simply show his command of economic concepts and he'll make Obama look like an amateur.

Obama would need all the questions beforehand to be able to match Romney. Obama cannot think on his feet when it comes to business and economics.

ETA: But I won't put it completely on us. The Republicans are terrible at PR and Outreach. There is no excuse to completely alienate a group of people. They need to come into the 21st Century. The biggest problem I had while working with Republicans is that they more concerned about being right than about being fair.

I read an article "2012 or Never" and they discussed on how if the Rethugs lose this election, they may forever lose the grip of national elections from now on due to the changing demographics, higher tolerance on homosexuals, and younger people being more educated than before. It's looking to become true cause the Rethugs base is filled with aging baby boomers that are slowly losing the grip on social issues.

 

[mamba]

i don't get this.he comprimsed a lot more than the demo base would have like him too but he still got a tremendous amount of stuff done. history making stuff. (healthcare most notably) he HAD to payball with the repubs on some issues and compromise to assure a 2nd term.

expect his admin to go full on H.A.M. taking no prisoners his next term and and push to get MAJOR things done that he couldn't push the issue with before.

LOL! Are you serious? He'll be more concerned with his legacy and ensuring the future electability of Democrats. He isn't going to do anything radical.

Plus, the GOP will still have numbers in Congress.

The political analyses of folks is comical at times.
