Month: September 2012

Didyou know that in all of these latest polls showing Obama winning in a walk, Romney leads among independents by a wide, often double-digit margin? Just consider that for a moment. Obama trounced McCain among independents last time out. Now independents are solidly behind Mitt, but Obama's still going to glide to victory because scads ... Read more

Afriend on Facebook cited the president's commanding lead on Intrade today - 72 to Romney's 27 - in an attempt to shake my faith in Romney's chances. (This isn't the main point of this post, but I do find it remarkable how many Obamaites are genuinely perturbed by my confidence that a Romney victory is ... Read more

Inmy online travels, I came across the following Facebook update from a woman who's no fans of the Mormons:

I'm sick of hearing Christians saying they are voting for Romney because he believes in God. Seriously guys, do you even know what Mormonism is? I suggest you look into it because he does not believe

Thisblog got a pingback yesterday - i.e., another blog quoted me and linked back here. I was flattered - until I read what he had to say. Linking to my controversial post "The Coming Romney Landslide," a site called rightwingnuthouse.com quoted me at length and concluded with his own commentary: "Um…no, that’s ridiculous." Today, I ...

[Note:this past week, the following news article appeared on the front page of the New York Times in an alternate universe in which, for reasons unexplained, George W. Bush is still president and is making some of this-universe Obama's mistakes. Meanwhile, that universe's still-Senator Barack Obama is running against him. Get it? 'Cause you need ... Read more

AsI did with my last post, I could write another five hundred words about how the polls showing Romney falling behind are based on a 2008 turnout model that won’t apply this time around. I could point you to better-sampled polls, like Rasmussen, that actually show Romney ahead. But something is happening here that ... Read more

Thismorning, I was greeted by a fresh doubting comment on my Coming Romney Landslide Facebook link. The friend who questioned my prediction a few days ago wrote this morning: " I gotta ask...... Still????"Yes. Still. Despite, or perhaps because of, the media hysteria over Romney's brave, insightful, and entirely appropriate comments on the unfolding disaster ... Read more

Ordinarily,I'd schedule this to post at midnight for the next day, but tomorrow is September 11, a day unsuitable for political horserace analysis. So if I get this in under the wire, I'll appear less partisan and more respectful, right?Anyway....I've endured some Facebook mockery for my refusal to back down from my Romney landslide prediction. ...

Iwant to get this out of the way at the outset, because it pains me to admit I was wrong about something this big.But the fact of the matter is that Daniel Z., my liberal friend who has berated my persecution complex re: the treatment of Mormonism by both the media and the Obama campaign ...

Didn'twatch the president's speech last night. Early reviews suggest that he didn't rise to the rhetorical standard set by Clinton, whose speech I didn't watch because it literally made me sick to my stomach. Which literally brings me to the subject of today's post, which is Joe Biden's speech, which I literally watched.And if you ... Read more
