    Obama is Going to Win -- Sorry, just being honest

    Bill Clinton ripped to shreds the vacuity of the Romney-Ryan ticket.

    Obama tonight demonstrated, again, that he is a sincere, honest, good man.

    America, in the end, is not going to buy the hot air the Republicans are selling.

    Obama is going win. The polls may be somewhat close, but this race is over.

    And I'm not putting this post in that damn, interminable thread on the final two.

    You Romney believers should start coming out of your mania --- actually, there aren't many true Romney believers; they are, at heart, just Obama haters. So anyway, you should probably start preparing for another four years of Obama. Get the adult diapers, Xanax, or whatever it may be you need when you come out of the cocoon of Obama hatred of your election-year frenzy. He's going to pull up his sleeves and try, again, to work with the other side. You should try to.

    And we should all start penning our condolences to IPU's wife as it's an unfortunate near-certainty that he'll leave this mortal relm as a result of the incoming aneurysm when he sees the final vote count of the Electoral College.

    See y'all in November!

    Then America loses.

    Sorry, just being honest.
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      Typical. Telling us who support Romney why we do. It is really too bad you and your ilk aren't as smart as you think you are. Maybe when you get in charge good things would happen.

        Would you have said the same thing in September 2000 about a possible Gore victory?

        I bet you would have.

        And yet, look at what America lost by the choice of one man to go to war in Iraq.

        Romney is more likely to make a similar mistake (Iran) than Obama. We've already seen Obama's rationality.

        The odds that America loses are much greater with a Romney victory than with an Obama one.

        If Republicans will work with Obama, then there will be a workable compromise on social security and health care costs.

          I think you are probably right. Hopefully not.

            There are many true Romney believers.

            But there are more Obama haters.

            Sorry I had to tell you that.

              Haters? C'mon, you really have to stoop to that? There are the radical's in each side that easily move to anti rather than pro. You are sounding like that element in the democratic party.

              If you like Obama's policies and vision better, so be it. What validates that though when you have to label those who may not hold your view? I think you mat watch too much MSNBC.

                Yes.

                No, if Dems will work with Rmoney, then there will be a real solution on social security and health care costs. Hopefully Mitt won't need to worry about Dems during his first term as he shows Obama how not to waste majorities in the House and Senate.

                  Seriously. When you start with a majority in the house and 60 Senate seats, you really don't get to complain about a calcitrant legislature.

                    My take. Clinton is a great politician. I am not a fan of politicians, but will admit many are.

                    I don't have that aw crap feeling of, they are going to do it again. Sure if I watch the pundits I can see why folks like Levin think it is over. However, not many people really pay attention to the pundits anyway.

                    This is going to be about job reports and the economy and not platitudes from current or ex politicians.

                      I think Biden and Obama unquestionably fired up the base, as Levin's post demonstrates. The delegates in the hall clearly ate it up.

                      But I suspect the fire will dampen beyond liberal borders. The message, "Yeah, I didn't do so hot, but give me another chance" just isn't that appealing. I certainly don't feel the impending sense of doom that I felt in 2008.

                        I've caught the political fever, too!!!!

                        So Slick Willy convinced you that Obama has been a good president these past four years, and that he'll do a good job as the chief executive this time around even though he has no history of running anything, much less doing it particularly well? (But he's so ARTICULATE and CHARMING. ) I don't care if he's honest, sincere, and good all at once-- a good Commander in Chief should also be semi-competent. He's in way over his head and needs to bounce.


                        (disclaimer: I honestly can't tell if you're joking or if your post is an inside joke, so sorry if it is.)

                        The fact that the polls are this close w an incumbent running (who is shitting pants b/c he doesn't have near the money in the campaign coffers to match Romney in the homestretch) does not bode well for Obama. Also, the fact that the incumbent has to run on his awful record is bad for him as well. The speeches at the pep rally are energizing, but who is watching? Swing voters? Hardly.

                        Also, hot air? What was more hot air than the fuzzy terms Hope and Change four years ago? Pointing to the subterranean economy/looming debt and setting forth tangible proposals is the Republicans' hot air? I think Obama outdid himself this year with the even more blurry motto, 'Forward,' and qualifies as the hottest air this year.

                        I think the reason you see so many Obama haters is because, when faced with a recession and runaway budget spending four years ago, as every DNC speaker has reminded us (Thanks a lot, Bush admin.), he rolled up his sleeves and stuffed trillions more tax dollars down the toilet (When has Keynesian economics ever failed us before??? Didn't see that one coming!). Oh but he did kill Osama, as every DNC speaker has reminded us (thanks for that military Intelligence spending, Bush Admin). He wants four more years? I'm sure he does and doesn't mind begging for it. GTFO, Obama. Lamest president since Carter. Fact.

                            I now realize this after re-reading this part:

                            You Romney believers should start coming out of your mania --- actually, there aren't many true Romney believers; they are, at heart, just Obama haters. So anyway, you should probably start preparing for another four years of Obama. Get the adult diapers, Xanax, or whatever it may be you need when you come out of the cocoon of Obama hatred of your election-year frenzy. He's going to pull up his sleeves and try, again, to work with the other side. You should try to.

                            ah well

                              I used hyperbole to demonstrate what I think is very, very likely -- Obama's reelection.

                              I'm still voting for Romney.
