| This race is over, but the conspiracy theories are about to begin. And, boy howdy, are things going to get ugly. To wit, Mitt Romney will defeat Barack Obama for the presidency on November 6, after which there will be hysterical blowback. The election result is quantifiable, with Romney consistently leading in national tracking polls, finding a level at or above 50 percent in many, and closing the necessary gaps in swing states and among demographic groups. Greater evidence can be found, however, in Obama’s sour demeanor and the conduct of his campaign. What a mess.

Here's a little prediction of one of the conspiracy sources: the total number of votes cast for president will be less, much less, than the number of people who voted. Many black voters will turn out to vote for their congressman and other down-ticket offices, but will not vote for president. Unable to bring themselves to vote for Mitt and be first-time Republican voters, they will nonetheless refuse to vote a second time for Obama, the charlatan who fleeced them and abandoned them. It's a simple explanation that the left will refuse to accept.

2, I'd like to think that you are right about the black voters feeling abandoned. Obviously those with their free cell phones don't feel that way, but let us hope that that ignorant cadre is in the minority.

I dunno, I voted early yesterday here in Ohio. Nearly half of the voters waiting in line were black. I didn't see any particular lack of enthusiasm on their part.
Of course, this is a major metro area, very much in the Democrats' pockets. The Republicans didn't even run candidates in many of the down ticket offices.

Given there is a win and a potentially crime ridden lame duck suicide run by obozo it would be the perfect time for The Donald to offer the same 5 million dollars again to more whistleblowers in smaller payments! He'll pay to make public the insane things obozo will be doing in the last few months of his royal reign, and he'll be the kindly judge of what each horrifying act is worth. O's own insider staff jumping ship, will gladly go public on obozo dirt. Go Donald !

Remember the recount in Florida and Bush v. Gore? I love deflating liberal fantasies by reminding my friends that if Gore had carried his own state of Tennessee he would have won the election today be the Former President AlGore.

Rather risky to assume a Romney win at this point. Anything that lets people assume they don't have to crawl over broken glass to get to the voting booths on Tuesday will only help Obama. I sincerely doubt the MFM will be sitting on its corrupt hands between now and voting day, passively awaiting their own defeat. Any "unforeseen event" in the next 7 days must be viewed as a potential trap or trick by the MFM/Obama campaign. Anything.

Sure, there will be some of the usual who try to excuse Obie or blame the nasty cheating uncaring republicans, but I suspect many in the dem hierarchy realize what a disgrace the prez has been.
They've compromised themselves already and aren't likely to go one step further for this loser. He's demonstrated he cares not about them, only himself
That and a landslide should quiet the libs for a good while....those few that remain.

This is the delicious part.. FTA "We often see leftist orthodoxy morph into popular convention. This is because, while there are some smart people on the left, it requires almost no thinking to be a liberal. Simply absorb the political sentiments you hear in almost any Hollywood film, or on most any television program or newscast and, presto, you’re in. Repeat these nostrums at school or work and you will be rewarded. Augmented by the emotional satisfaction of the left’s perpetual righteous indignation, this dynamic becomes self-fulfilling and very cozy."
I just hope the outcome is what they say.. I will sleep a little better next Wednesday.

Do not take anything for granted. Vote and work as if we are trailing in the polls. The left would love nothing more than to repress voter turnout. I will not rest easy until the votes are counted and Romney is declared the winner. I am optimistic but also a realist who doesn't trust anything the left says. My plan is to pray, vote and hope that reason and sanity prevail.

I see many Sharpton and Jackson joint news conferences. I see a dangerous lame duck Senate working with a lamer (and more dangerous) duck Obama. Whether there is civil unrest depends on Obama.

At this late date I still don't know. I feel that Romney is going to win the election, but I can't shake the feeling that the Dims will pull something that could change the outcome of that which the majority will have voted. You know. Cheat. That's what they do. Especially in states that are close. As we all here know, these people will go to any lengths to win. And that includes any and all illegal tactics.
I know that some of the despair I feel at times is brought on by the junk that Dims are put out for the express reason to suppress the Republican vote. But, at least for me, it won't work. I've already voted!

Remember how there was no way it could be held constitutional in a rational world? Well, in a rational world there is no way Obama could win, but clearly that's not where we are.

So do we continue to fight the partisan press for President Romney? Who else can whip them into line but the people? Time for the people to stand and deliver still IMO.
Even with reporters like the dude at Buzzfeed lay in wait for a President Romney to make a gaffe or something they can spin into a gaffe, next president, Romney, is not media shy like GWB and he seems to not mind talking over them to the people. But don't expect him to demonize democrats like the abysmal partisan president we now endure.

Never underestimate the commies ability to "fix" things the way they need them. I will be apprehensive until the results come in November 6th/7th. Nothing is settled until then.
And even then, if the results are good, the task of ridding the WH of the anointed one will be like pulling teeth (no anesthetic, of course). A herculean chore followed by nearly a million other chores to rectify the damage done to our beloved country.

Wondered if that was to cause the effect that the West coast experiences every election with final results from half the nation posted hours before our polls close. Doesn't change my mind though.

Romney will win. It is God's will. This Nation is at a frightening crossroads. This election is in the hands of God, and he expects US to work through Him. Hold firm in your Faith; vote, and encourage others to vote for Mitt. I am not mistaken that those open to such things can see, and sense, that Mitt Romney is radiating a light of Protection.
I watched MSNBC yesterday and Tingles was practically sobbing into his morning Starbucks toddy. He stated something to the effect that Obama can win now "ONLY if HE (BHO)believes and HOPES (his emphases) he can win." Tingles has the inside dope, no doubt. Otherwise he would have had that insipid smirk on his face. Ditto the android pawning herself off as a lesbian.

I just signed up to be a poll watcher. I am looking forward to the adventure and will report back anything I see here in the blue state of MA. They are sending me not to a poll in my nice suburban town with all its Scott Brown signs, but to nearby Lowell which is one of the blue spots.

Obie and Bite Me are done. Start packing your bags, boys. But, somebody needs to slow Obie down during the lame duck period so he can't sign any exec orders or pardons.

No. 30 unfortunately has it right, if Obama loses there will be riots in the streets and not just in the northern and west coast cities either. Everyone has been buying gold as a hedge against a larger depression which will surely come in O's second term. I am not buying gold but ammunition because if he wins again that ammunition will be just as valuable as gold. Not to mention the fact you will need it for personal protection. We are in a no win situation no matter how this election goes.

#78 has it right. Keep working, not only for Romney/Ryan, but the other Republican candidates too.

Well I hope this will be over soon. I'm tired of being lied to, I'm tired of a government with no honor - and no shame, and I'm tired of my wife feeling like she has to hurl every time she sees Obama on the tube!

Both parties constantly make accusations that their rival is engaged in hypocritical, unethical, or illegal behavior. Given the drastic lack of ideological diversity in the American elite media, the general public usually only hears about such accusations against Republicans. Beyond the fact that biased reporting shapes public opinion to favor the left, it may also have an effect on law enforcement. The persistent lies that have been told about right-leaning political groups by leading Democrats, including President Obama himself, may have led to the IRS abuses of power that we’ve heard so much about in recent weeks.

A former USC professor was named Monday to the FBI´s Ten Most Wanted fugitives list after he was indicted for sex crimes against children abroad, FBI officials said. Walter Lee Williams, 64, became the 500th person named to the list, officials said. He faces charges of sexual exploitation of children, traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places. Bureau officials said they had identified at least 10 alleged victims between the ages of 9 and 17. Many live in Third World countries, officials said, adding that Williams has traveled extensively

Writing today in the Corner at National Review Online, Jonah Goldberg takes up the point I discussed earlier today about the necessity for Republicans not to frame the immigration reform issue as one in which their principal motivation is to avoid allowing more Hispanics become Democratic voters. He agrees with me that’s wrong, but he also says that supporters of the gang of eight bill are mistaken to try and sell their legislation to the GOP on the grounds that it is good politics. He thinks the debate on the bill should rise and fall on its merits,

Something perverse happened after the Supreme Court’s decision today invalidating citizenship-verification requirements in Arizona for registrants who use the federal voter registration form. The Left knows they lost most of the battle, but are still claiming victory. That’s what they do. Election-integrity proponents and the states are saying they lost, but don’t realize they really won. The Left wins even when they lose, and conservatives are often bewildered and outfoxed in the election-process game. Earlier today, I called the decision a nothingburger. After re-reading the case and reflecting a bit more, it’s clear that the decision was a disaster

The owners of 7-Eleven franchises in New York and Virginia created a "modern day plantation system" in which undocumented workers were furnished with stolen identities and forced to work 100 hours a week for a fraction of their wages, according to a federal authorities. Ten stores in New York and four in Virginia were seized today as part of the federal investigation which found the undocumented workers from Pakistan were given identities stolen from children and the deceased, according to federal prosecutor Loretta E. Lynch. Farrukh Baig, his wife Bushra, and seven others were charged with fraud, identity theft

DETROIT -- In one of the biggest-ever showdowns between an automaker and the government, Chrysler on Tuesday is expected to file papers explaining its refusal to recall 2.7 million older Jeep SUVs that are at risk of catching fire in rear-end collisions. The government says 51 people have suffered fiery deaths in Jeep Grand Cherokees and Libertys with gas tanks mounted behind the rear axles. But Chrysler is expected to stick to its contention that the SUVs are as safe as similar vehicles on the road. The Jeeps, it says, met all federal safety standards when they were built,

According to Sarah Palin, the GOP’s vice presidential candidate in 2008, the United States is “becoming a totalitarian surveillance state.” And Herman Cain, who ran as a GOP presidential candidate in 2012, said, “This train is running full speed down the tracks towards socialism and towards communism. Yes, I said it. Before we stop it and reverse it, we got to slow it down. That’s what we do in 2014.” Now, we actually know what genuine totalitarian surveillance states and communist nations look like, and America is nothing close to becoming anything like them.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan

Is Marco Rubio, R-Fla., getting played by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.? During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans
