In response to:
Thank you DoctorRoy, for a calm intelligent involved post, in which you take a stand. I have several dyed in the wool Democrat friends who are positive contributing people. I believe they are hideously mistaken to the point of endangering our country, and i believe the same of you. But at least you are sometimes civil, and generally stick to the solid arguments in favor of your opinions.
Fundamentals usually prevail in American elections. That's bad news for Barack Obama. True, Americans want to think well of their presidents, and many think it would be bad if Americans were perceived as rejecting the first black president.
But it's also true that most voters oppose Obama's major policies and consider unsatisfactory the very sluggish economic recovery -- Friday's job report showed an unemployment uptick.
Also, both national and target state polls show that independents -- voters who don't identify themselves as Democrats or Republicans -- break for Romney.
That might not matter if Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 39 to 32...
No such thing.
Roy contradicted Barone on Ohio based on polls and history. I hope he's wrong, but as Roy himself said, we'll see.
My posts seem to irritate you. Truly sorry about that, i like to think of myself as a positive person. I do know i can't please everybody. Mazel tov.
