Democrats now believe Obama can lose

And Republicans believe Mitt Romney can win!

What this probably means is that if you think your candidate (or the candidate you're stuck with) can win, you're more apt to give them money and support to help them out. If you think your candidate is going to lose, then you'll keep that money in your pocket and wait around until the next election cycle.

At least that's my take. And we all know the candidate with the most money, usually wins.

FromTIME:

With five months until Election Day, Barack Obama faces a grim new

reality: Republicans now believe Mitt Romney can win, and Democrats

believe Obama can lose ... Last week's anemic job-creation and

economic-growth data was sandwiched between two Bill Clinton

specials: in one television interview,the 42nd President lauded

Romney's business record as "sterling"; in another, he veered from the

Obama line on the extension of Bush-era tax cuts ... The failure to

unseat Wisconsin's Republican governor Scott Walker in a recall

election was another bad sign for Democrats since it will rev up

conservatives nationwide, including the kind of millionaires who gave

big bucks to Walker's effort ... Veteran Democratic strategists from

previous presidential bids and on Capitol Hill now wonder if the Obama

re-election crew is working with the right message ... The White House

remains on a rough political trajectory, with a potentially adverse

Supreme Court decision on the Obama health care law looming,

additional bad economic news from Europe coming and more

worrisome polling pending ... Another danger for the President: the

media freak show. Stalking that circus' center ring is Matt Drudge,

whose caustic website continues to help drive the news cycle with an

emphasis on negative, mocking items about Obama and Vice

President Joe Biden and their wives. The latest sign of Drudge's

potency: Ed Klein, the author of the virulently anti-Obama book The

Amateur, was barred from major TV appearances and mostly ignored

by the mainstream media, but the book's prominence on Drudge's

website propelled it to the No. 1 slot on the New York Times nonfiction

list.

A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Obama. Like it or not, Romney is our ONLY chance to get Obama out of the White House. All conservatives must endorse and support Romney to keep the country from becoming a socialist state. Make the wise choice.

Time to break out the Lie Detectors. It's hard enough to figure out who your real friends are and then to add these Politicians to your Friends List. When Bill Clinton looked us right in the eye and told us that he didn't have sex with that woman I knew he was Lying because of the color of his face. I guess Telling the Truth from a Politician happens only by accident.

Bill Clinton used his position as President to "deceive" not only the American Citizens but his "closet friends".

This is an "Evil" act and not a simple "lie".

Deceiptfulness has destroyed any credibility with our "Representatives" and Our Allies ( in some cases). They "Call This Politics" but it is simple Evilness . This has to stop to "Heal Our Land".

This is precisely why we need to stop using the left/right/moderate classification system -- it makes the simple-minded folks think that the "normal" is in the middle of the bell-shaped curve, and we end up with "moderates" because we are brainwashed to avoid "extremes."

The alternative is to use the Constitution as the barometer of judging one's stances on issues, but not in the way that Paulbots mindlessly just repeat that nonsense.

Under the above left/right/moderate system, those that are more in line with the Constitution are classified as "far right," which the left has used repeatedly to demagogue as "extreme." Simply by pointing out that the Constitution itself would be "extreme" under this nomenclature, and using a large dose of ridicule whenever those "extreme right" comments are used would really help expose this tactic. I really feel the left uses these word games to fool the masses, and we need to collectively make an effort to change that. If conservative candidates and their supporters started making such points on a regular basis, the liberal media's attempts to influence the casual observer would be diminished.

I believe Romney will win. When he does win, I fear what Obama will do to the country between November and January.

I hope Romney makes a stellar VP pick.

We are in the High Express Lane doing the speed limit. No need to rush. We are getting to Victory Lane. Stay out of the

pack. Avoid some jerk trying to make up laps. As per Ron Paul, give it up. He has been virtuilly a do nothing congress member for 20 years. He has been part of the do nothing problem,. They(The Republicans) gave us Romney. Suck it up

and lets join a UNITED front to defeat THE EVIL ONE. P.S Lets not rile the bushes. We certinley do not need Hillery
