The Vastly Underimproved Poll Thread

The parallel would be the AG referring to whites as "his people" and refusing to prosecute anyone who happened to be white.

Nothing has come close to this.

Is there a term similar to oikophobia, meaning fear of one's own race? Whatever it is, it is slowly percolating up the culture. We are buying into the notion that whites are blame for all ills while everyone else is noble.

In Florida Nero +2 (Registered Voters). About 10% other/undecideds.

About 45% of the country openly embraces Marxism. Obama cannot hide what he is anymore.

I also need to add that 45% of the country isn't completely outraged by the tribal behavior of this administration's justice department. What has happened to us? It is probably irreversible.

Nah, when Republican administrations try something similar, a firestorm breaks out. It's only a color on the left's palette.

Which goes to demonstrate gcruse's point. The resulting firestorm from, say, a John Ashcroft announcement that he would refuse to prosecute anyone who happened to be white would incinerate most of the east coast.

Yup.

It is a bizzare phenomenon isnt it? Look at the UK, they are somehow worse than we are when it comes to this.

Mark Steyn's latest sees heightened antisemitism in Europe as an outgrowth of our Anglo ability to turn on ourselves, enabled by Islamification.

But post-war Holocaust guilt, and the revulsion against nationalism and the embrace of multiculturalism and mass immigration, enabled the Islamization of Europe. The principal beneficiaries of the Continent's penance for the great moral stain of the 20th century turned out to be the Muslims — with the Jews on the receiving end, yet again.

Millennials Turning Away from Obama
http://blogs.the-american-interest.com/ ... rom-obama/

One of the biggest political stories of 2008 was the rise of the Millennials as an electoral force. As “Obamamania” swept the nation, college students across the country abandoned their usual political apathy and volunteered for the Obama campaign in droves, canvassing, phone banking and harnessing the power of social media. This youth enthusiasm paid dividends for the Obama campaign, and was reflected in the vote totals: Obama beat McCain among 18-24 year-olds by a whopping 34 percent, winning 66 percent of the vote.

That excitement is gone. A new Public Religion Research poll [ http://publicreligion.org/newsroom/2012 ... rvey-2012/ ]shows that while Obama still leads in the 18 to 24 age group, his lead has fallen dramatically to 7 percent. And those who still support him are less enthusiastic; Politico recently discussed the “tepid” support for Obama on college campuses, where few students are still interested in issues like the Iraq War, which dominated the discussion in 2008. The army of student volunteers that propelled Obama in 2008 is unlikely to materialize this time around.

Romney does not fare too well there, either. But one should look at the difficulties as at the opportunities. The job market for the millennials is such that it is the best election campaigner against the status quo.

This is a good article from The Daily Mail. As usual, the reporting from Europe regarding US politics is vastly superior to what passes for analysis in the US mainstream press.

Barack Obama's re-election bid is already in deep trouble

This plays into Ohole's strategy. They are the occutards.

New Hampshire, Nero +9 and over 50% (Likely Voters). Romney's "Favorite Son" creds aren't seeming to mean much.

In Arizona, Romney +2 (Registered Voters), almost 20% undecided.

In Arizona, Romney +2 (Registered Voters), almost 20% undecided.

Then that's +18 (undecideds historically break 80/20 for the challenger.)

There is also not any particular evidence that, as Mr. Trende suggests, the majority of the undecided vote broke against the incumbents. On average, the incumbent candidates led by 8.1 points in the polls with 30 days to go; they won their elections by an average of 7.2 points. That’s not a huge difference, needless to say.

*snip*

Undecided voters, in other words, are the equivalent of the clock in a football game. If an N.F.L. team holds a 10-point lead at halftime, it is the favorite to go on and win the game. But there is plenty of football left to play, and it will lose some of the time (whereas other times, meanwhile, it will wind up winning by considerably more than 10 points). This is the equivalent of holding a 43-to-33 lead in a political poll, with lots of undecided voters.

If someone is leading in a poll by a comfortable margin, chances are they will lead on Election Day too.

Obama has nothing to run on. Claiming "Romney sucks" doesn't work very well when you've proven to everyone just how much you suck.

As has been pointed out before, Jimmuh Carter was leading in all the polls until right before Election Day. And a lot of us remember how that turned out.

NBC Announces: Saturday Night Live Will Not Be Funny Until Romney Is Elected President

“With Barack Obama in the White house, there is simply no one in the administration to make fun of. It’s been a very frustrating few years. On the other hand, if Romney is elected, there will be limitless material. Romney is funny, you see. The Obamas? I mean, there is just nothing that lends itself to parody.”
- Anonymous NBC producer

I think that generally speaking, the undecideds do break against the incumbents, but how much is very much open to debate.

We are still early, so most of the polls mean nothing more than who has a lot of work to do in a particular state. A sudden negative jar to the economy in late summer would sink Nero faster than the Titanic or a terrorist attack. A woman crawling out of the woodworks would kill Romney. No one can tell whic, if any, of these things will happen.

However, the fact that Nero, with the worst record anyone can remember or even imagine, has any chance at all should open your eyes and cause you to weep unconsolably for our Republic.

Ohole already begins the contest with 100 automatic EC points from the behemoth blue states. Now throw in percentage of the population doesn't pay taxes. He already has these in his pocket. He doesn't have to prove anything to them.

All Ohole and his comrades really have to do is keep bludgeoning away at Travyon's corpse all the way until November which will deliver FL and thus the election.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner. Game over.

Ohole is just a symptom of an electorate that has degenerated beyond any hope of salvation IMO.

I'd bet against Romney having any woman problems, but stranger things have happened (at least on the Twilight Zone).

But you're absolutely right. It's still very early out. I'd warrant that most of the undecided voters in most of the swing states haven't paid as much attention to the presidential race to this point as they've paid to whatever silly show Simon Cowell is promoting this week.

Pretty sure he means "nothing that lends itself to parody" without getting myself disinvited from the good parties.

To take one STDNM but funny example: if some other first lady were known to be wolfing cheeseburgers while promoting healthy food, Junk Food Junkie would be back in the Top Ten after being promoted across the late night comedy shows.

As another, the whole dog on a stick thing. Jeez, I don't care who you are, that there is funny.

Well, if they need any new material, maybe Jon Lovitz could help ...

SNL alum on Obama: ‘What a f**king asshole'

Jon Lovitz, an early “Saturday Night Live” cast member, had some harsh words for President Barack Obama over the weekend.

In an interview with “Clerks” director Kevin Smith, Lovitz, a registered Democrat who voted for Obama in 2008, bashed the president for his class warfare rhetoric and the notion that the wealthy don’t pay their fair share in taxes.

“This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don’t pay their taxes is fucking bullshit, and I voted for the guy and I’m a Democrat. What a fucking asshole,” Lovitz said.

“First they say … ‘You can do anything you want. Go for it.’ So then you go for it, and then you make it, and everyone’s like, ‘Fuck you,’” Lovitz said. “[Obama] is the perfect example. He’s amazing. He had nothing … and the guy ends up being at Harvard. He’s the president of the United States. And now he’s like, ‘Fuck me and everybody who made it like me.’” ...

Maybe not as good as 'Master Thespian', but Jon's been out of work for a while; it'll take some time to get his chops back ...

In Texas, Romney +7 (Registered Voters), Romney at 50%. This looks OK, but in Texas, Romney ought to be up big.
