Given the amount of terrorist attacks that have killed Americans on Obama's watch, it's no surprise they have turned on him. Romney may be weird but he's serious and will keep us safe.

It's amazing how people change their opinion to fit with what South Park tells them. I love the show, but damn.

Romney's a moderate, no matter what he says otherwise. He's just slightly worse at lying than most politicians. His potential Supreme Court nominations are much more threatening than he is.

Romney is whatever he has to be to win votes. If being ultraconservative in office is beneficial to him he will do it. Romney has no true political stance besides getting more money and power for Romney
Nobody cares if Romney is actually a moderate in his real opinions (if he has any).
Do you really think Romney will stand up to a Republican Congress against batshit insane bills?
This is the best post in this thread.
Because they make great commentary. In this situation it seems apt to me. I'm voting for Obama (because I live in a swing state - if I didn't I'd vote for Jill Stein), but I'm not happy with him. His policies don't represent my interests and values. I'm literally only voting for him because he's not a Republican.

To be fair, Obama didn't carry much of the south in 2008, either IIRC. He just owned the swing states and the coasts.

Don't fret. Reuters, TIPPS, and RAND all have leads for Obama. All swing about four points toward him on average this past week. Gallup is the only one going the other way.
Even the one time polls showing Obama leading. Look at gallup's region breakdown. Obama up all but the South.

Also, if you're concerned and this really is important to you, go volunteer. If you're in a swing state or even close to one, you can probably find a way to get out to a campaign office that needs you. I went out to Nevada last weekend (I live in California) and spent a couple days knocking on doors and making calls for the Romney campaign - and I know the Obama campaign is trying to get people to do the same thing, too, because I'm signed up for their emails (I was a reluctant, last-minute supporter in 2008). It's mind-numbingly boring and not terribly rewarding (mostly just identifying supporters and giving them mail/early vote info, general GOTV stuff at this point), but every little bit helps. It's like giving yourself an extra vote for every net vote that occurs because of you.

I managed a restaurant in the south four years ago and heard a conversation where a guy actually said he wasn't worried about Obama becoming president because he figured Obama'd be dead inside a year anyways.
Maybe they're even madder at the uppity way he's still breathing?

Did I say I did?
Yeah, doesn't Gallup have Romney up by a ridiculous amount in the South, but Obama narrowly winning everywhere else, and that Southern margin is just killing Obama overall?
the truth is this post and a bag full of dogshit are the same. they have different containers, but are filled with identical intellectual content

He's slightly ahead but Obama probably doesn't have a real shot at it unless the Hispanic vote is big this year.
Pretty damn likely.
The Obama camp needs to take everything out of FL and NC - they are gone. They'd be better off spreading those resources out in VA and CO.
A "moderate" who will repeal the national version of his own health bill, make the Bush tax cuts look liberal, act like a manchild when dealing with foreign affairs (particularly the middle east), eliminate tax deductions that lots of families depend on, and yes, appoint Bork-like justices to the SCOTUS.
He is not a moderate. He was forced to be in Mass. because he had to work with a deep blue legislature.
I don't think Florida is "gone," but I do think their efforts would be better spent in those two states.
I agree with this, except that if you support Romney, your efforts are probably better served making sure Romney doesn't lose Arizona, so I recommend you direct your efforts there.
It's about even.
I don't think FL is anywhere near as gone as NC is.
But it might be better spent solidifying Virginia and Ohio.

Agreed on NC, not just yet on FLA. We're in agreement on VA and CO as well.
What's the equivalent of color blind for political candidates? Apart from stupid.
I wish you were a better troll...Trolls serve their purpose, they should always be funny and say something genuinely inflammatory. But you sir...are straight up yawn inducing. Up your game.
After the 2000 Bush election, I would love to hear all the sour grapes and whining that might occur in the event that Obama wins the electoral college but loses the popular vote.
At the same time, I'd hate to see it since it would support the delusional conservative narrative that they are this sad and oppressed majority.

Christ man, you are really dedicated to this trolling aren't you?
Did you ever learn about progressive tax rates?
Why leave Florida?
He's not out of it and he's not out of money?
Ohio on the other hand is pretty locked up.
For the sheer fact that if Obama does continue to campaign for Florida Romney and Ryan must take time away from campaigning in Colorado and Virginia, two places they desperately need even with Florida.
He might as well just come clean, admit that he was wrong and made up the story.
I mean, there'll still be some mockery, but at least it won't be this ongoing thing that he has to constantly flee from.

Not time to worry, you doth protest too much.
It would be really funny to see Romney win the popular vote but Obama win the electoral college. Heads exploded everywhere.
Another note - Many of us like to think that Obama is a closet athiest and a closet supporter of gay marriage despite his recent claims, due to his more liberal stances in the past. As we have seen, this is half true given his recent support of gay marriage.
However, Romney is in a similar position, with noted liberal stances advocated in the past, relative to his stated positions now. But everyone takes that at face value.

Agree on NC. I've seen a few party switches from people I know. I don't think
it's a big number by any stretch,but still strange.

This is such unmitigated horse shit. People said the same thing about Bush and Gore. How that turn out for you?
You described 99% of all politicians.

Learn the poll differences. It seems like anyone can come up with a poll to indicate something these days:

It's amazing how much the south hates Obama. I wonder why the south hates Obama so so much more than any other region of the US? I wonder ...
The people that follow the "both candidates are the same" line of thinking are generally 18-25. Which is to say the don't even remember Bush v. Gore.
The people that said it during the 2000 Election have more than likely wised up.

He's black. There, question answered.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
I went to college with those guys. I've seen them convince people to do an amazing number if things
well this deserves a thread.
As of right now:
what site are you using? i've been looking for something like that.
Stop listening to right wing radio. Obama has done nothing to hurt guns.

You're supposed to respond to rhetorical questions with answers that are questions themselves.
"Could it be beause he's black" would have been better.
