Will 2012 election see a “reverse Bradley” effect?

Will 2012 election see a “reverse Bradley” effect? “I think the number [of liberals] who vote for Romney/Ryan and then tell no one (at least in the short run) will be significant, so significant that this election may explode and be closer to a blowout than anyone, save a few, had expected.” Is there a HUGE Noooobama tide waiting to break loose Nov 6? Let the water come and carry him away.

  • I'm thinking that most voters have made up their minds who they're going to vote for already. If Romney slips and falls between now and November 6, I'm still going to vote for him. I think most taxpaying Americans have seen enough overt radical socialism, up close and ugly, to want four more years of it.

  • This political stuff is kinda like watching a baseball game. It's long and mundane most of the time, but then something happens and you can start to feel one team get some momentum going. Maybe there's a wild pitch, or a walk, an error, a long at-bat, a single, a double, maybe a couple hits, something like that, then a guy steps up to the plate and every cell in you body is telling you he's going deep. Sure enough he steps up and hit's one out of the park. That's how I feel with this Romney campaign. He's not in a position to knock it out of the park yet, but he could get another guy on. Maybe this next debate will be a walk, maybe the 3rd one will be a single up the middle, who knows. But I feel like right now all the momentum is going his way and on November 6th it's a 450 foot blast to the upper deck to end the game. The only unfortunate thing about it is politicians don't get shaving cream pies to the face.

  • A tidal wave of Noooooobama? Cowabunga, Dude!

    BTW, great Crosby, Stills and Nash reference, Bonfire :o)

    • Just said it in an earlier thread, but I'm suspecting this may be a blowout on the order of Reagan/Carter, maybe even Nixon/McGovern.

  • Let's hear it for the Tidal Wave to flush n0bama from further public view. Cannot come soon enough for me. n0bama 2012 - You Bet We Can!!
