THE LAWN SIGN AND BUMPER STICKER PREDICTOR

Posted on November 5, 2012 | Leave a comment

Some polls show Romney clearly in the lead.  Others show the election is still close.  None show Obama with a clear lead.  And the election is tomorrow so the polls are saying Romney will be the winner.  The crowds coming out to Romney and Ryan appearances are huge and growing.  The attendance at Obama’s campaign stops is shrinking.

Ryan is making a great impression on the voters as shown by the huge crowds his appearances are attracting.  Biden continues to make a fool of himself wherever he goes.  The ratio of campaign fund contributions received is far more favorable to Republicans than has been the case for many years.  Obama has lost much of the Catholic vote and has even lost support from the normally solidly Democratic Jewish sector.

There is another observation that I think is very telling although not at all scientific.  It’s the Lawn Sign and Bumper Sticker Predictor.  I live in a part of the country where it takes real courage to show outward support for any Republican.  Think of it as a village of thousands of Chris Matthews.  In 2008, Obama bumper stickers were everywhere while McCain stickers were all but non- existent.  This year Romney’s name is seen as often as Obama’s.  Lawn signs are fewer in number.  Significantly notable to the careful observer is that  the strings of signs promote all of this year’s Democratic contenders often with the exception of Obama/Biden.

Swing voters by definition are the one group that can be depended upon to vote for whomever they think is the best candidate irrespective of party.  Obama’s appeal to voters by promising that if re-elected he will satisfy their desire for “revenge” contrasts sharply against Romney’s promise for a Bigger and Better America.  Swing voters are the last group likely to share Obama’s rage and be looking for revenge.

We are in the last hour and the President looks like toast.  How could he possibly come out the winner?  Voter fraud.  Remember, this has become the Party of Saul Alinsky and Chicago machines, the Party of ends justify the means.  Fraudulent votes do not show up in the polls before the election.  However, the signs are telling me it will be a landslide for Romney/Ryan that will overwhelm whatever voter fraud can be mustered.

SNIPPETS FROM ELSEWHERE

Posted on November 3, 2012 | 1 comment

Peggy Noonan, always interesting had this to say about the narcissism of Barack Obama.  Considering that his programs are not working, Peggy said,

It is one thing to think you’re Lebron.  It’s another thing to keep missing the basket and losing games and still think you’re Lebron.

That’s our President.  The Democratic Party has gone far astray from the days when the Party’s President kept a sign right on his desk that read “The Buck Stops Here” and he took that very seriously.  In case you are too young to remember who that was, here’s a clue or two.  His adult daughter played the piano and the President lived with his wife in a very modest home smack in the middle of that now disdainful fly-over country.  Mr. Barack H. Obama is the very antithesis of Harry S. Truman.

From Caroline Glick, denouncing the Dunham sex ad designed to appeal to young voters with the message that voting is like a woman giving up her virginity; it should be done with the right man and that man should be Barack Obama, Glick’s response is:

It is demeaning and contemptuous of women. It reduces us to sexual objects. When called on to vote, as far as Obama is concerned, as slaves to our passions, we make our decisions not based on our capacity for rational choice. Rather we choose our leaders solely on the basis of our sexual desires.

Beyond the ad’s bald attempt to impersonalize, generalize and cheapen the most personal act human beings engage in, the ad is repulsive because it takes for granted that what happens in our private lives is the government’s business.

That’s our President.  Here is one more snippet from elsewhere.

“Did you see what President Obama said today? He asked his supporters to vote for revenge — for revenge,” Romney said. “Instead I ask the American people to vote for love of country.”

That’s our next President.  How refreshing.  It is a breath of fresh air coming out of a world of pollution.

OBAMA’S INFRASTRUCTURE DEMOLITION TEAM

Posted on November 1, 2012 | 3 comments

Have you noticed that right up to this hour the President’s campaign is not aimed to appeal to the center?  Class warfare remains paramount in his strategy.  He is sacrificing his likeability in the closing days in an effort to strengthen his appeal is to the far left.  John Heilemann explained the strategy back in May when he wrote “Hope: The Sequel,” for the New York magazine

Stanley Kurtz puts it in simpler words,

He’s shooting for a “realignment.” Obama is trying to shape a new kind of electorate, creating a long-term Democratic majority that would allow him and his successors to stop catering to the center and finally govern decisively from the left.

Obama and his advisors never abandoned their quest to shape a permanent leftist majority, a coalition that would forever put an end to Clintonian triangulation and usher in unfettered leftist Obamaism instead. Obama’s frantic efforts to gin up the women’s vote and the youth vote aren’t only desperate attempts to secure his base. They flow from a deliberate decision not to fight for the center, but to build an independent majority on what is supposedly the “demographically ascendent” left.

Obama is going for broke, the whole magilla, Reno or bust, all or none and he is almost there.  Look at how close the polls have remained.  It’s a strategy guaranteed to lose some votes from the swing voters in the middle.  With polls narrowing to the region of 47 to 49 percent for each candidate, Bill Clinton would appeal to the center to win the prize.  Obama is not about to do that; it’s against his religion, metaphorically so to speak.

The President is counting on voter fraud, community organizing style, to pull him through with little ACORNs working quietly around the country and Somalis being bused in to Ohio to vote.  The Democratic demolition team is threatening the very infrastructure of the American voting process.  Don’t let that happen.  Vote.
