Election prediction: Electoral votes will
add up to Barack Obama victory

Chicago Sun-Times, by Richard Roeper

Original Article

Posted By:brianod1, 11/5/2012 8:38:13 AM

Somewhere around the time President Barack Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were standing in unison, while members of Team Romney reportedly were purchasing items to be given away at a fund-raiser for storm victims, it hit me. Somewhere around the time Donald Trump was bleating about the president missing the deadline and saying charities would suffer because of it — as if the money wasn’t Trump’s to do with what he pleases — it hit me.

Comments:
This reminds of the NY Times scribe who didn't know a soul that voted for Richard Nixon in 1972.

I don't know. The "early" voting today in Columbus Ohio is a line around the building of minorities and people from the poorer neighborhoods. Last week, you could walk in and early vote in under 10 minutes. I believe that there's a united plan to overwhelm these early voting centers at the last minute, which will allow more questionable votes to be cast. This is why the Republican Party tried to cut off early voting to reasonable few days before the election. Want to see voter suppression (my vote!) on display today? Go to an early voting center in urban Ohio. I expect all those in line will be bused back downtown in time for the Obama rally, I mean Springsteen Jay-C concert, this afternoon. No doubt with a box lunch on the bus.

On his website, Mr. Roeper says he is a 'medium-left liberal.'
Any bias here? You betcha!

Are the Illinois EVs in obama's or Romney's calculations? And is the Chicago Sun-Times even relevant today?

Better listen to #2. It's the same in Atlanta. Busing the blacks to the early polls, giving them money and then back to vote on Tuesday. This is where the stimulus money went. SEIU spending it as fast as they can to insure reelection of the Won.
And the press helping all they can.

Richard Roeper? The inept movie reviewer wannabe who used to keep Ebert company? How absurd.

One of the things I despise the leftists for is destroying our faith in the electoral process. Remember Gingsburg before the SCOTUS decision was announced on Obamacare? I just feel sick that they know they are going to win because they've already counted the votes.

I hope and pray that the Romney people and the RNC is doing something about the vote fraud described in the posts above!!

We have lost our country if this is allowed to happen!

Buck up people! This artcile - as well as many more to come today are meant to demoralize you. Do not let the fear mongers get in your head. Do what you can where you are, and hold steady.

You will see an onslaught of articles like this. They have moved off the "must win Ohio" meme to the "will win the electoral college" chant.

Thank you, #13

For those of you worrying about the "close" election and vote fraud, here's a bit of advice for you:

1) STOP reading and watching the news (yes, even Lucianne),

2) Go to hillbuzz.org and read all the positive, uplifting, confident reports there, and

3) STOP spreading your fear among our ranks--all you're doing is helping the enemy (think of it as making donations to Bathhouse Barry cause you're not helping yourself; you're just demoralizing the rest of us)!!

#2, take heart. Columbus is in Franklin County - with a black mayor. There are 87 OTHER counties in Ohio to be counted. There are more Republicans registered this time around than in 2008 and less Democrats registered.

#13, #14, Yes. Mitt Romney is a smart man with a smart team. Look what he made of the debates, that were as usual formulated as an ambush of the GOP but look what he did. And he surprised everybody at least twice in a major way - the first and the last debates. He knew what was coming and he thought of a strategy around it. Pray for the man and give thanks.

Remember in 1948 it was a leading Chicago newspaper which headlined, "Dewey Beats Truman." If Obama were to win it would show we have degenerated into another Zimbabwe or Russia concerning how the media and elections are fraudulently handled. It will be then that the 1st and 2nd amendments will be thoroughly tested.

It doesn't surprise me that someone who accepts polls at face value believes this. But it does amaze me how many people fall into that category given all the noise that's been made about the flaws in state polls.

Early voting is a way for the Dems to institutionalize election fraud.

Not a convincing article - he gives most of the swing states to Obama but never give any evidence or justification to why he thinks they will go that way. When my state of Virginia, along with Ohio, Wisconsin, and Colorado all go to Romney, I sure he won't admit he was wrong, he'll blame stupid voters or fraud or something silly like that.

Democrat ballots in early voting in NC outweigh Republican ballots 48% to 32%. Republicans must get out the vote tomorrow or it's all over like it or not!

CHICAGO- A housing complex geared toward helping veterans at risk of becoming homeless will be built on Chicago´s South Side next year, officials announced Thursday. The Hope Manor II apartments, funded by federal, state and city grant money, will have 73 units, ranging from studio to four-bedroom apartments. Residents will have access to services such as job training, family counseling and mental health screening. The project expands on a concept started last summer, when the original Hope Manor opened on Chicago´s West Side.

Chicago Public Schools’ removal of the graphic novel Persepolis from classrooms sparked protests Friday and outcry from the autobiographical novel’s Iranian-born author. The district denied Friday it had banned the book outright from CPS schools, saying instead it only removed them from 7th grade classrooms for being “inappropriate.” CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett also ordered up training for any high school teachers who wish to continue using the illustrated story of Marjane Satrapi growing up in revolutionary Iran.

Federal securities regulators implicitly blamed former Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his budget office for the fraudulent manner in which state bond investors were misled about Illinois’ sickly pension ledgers. But in making a nearly unprecedented case of securities fraud against the state, the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday laid bare a trail of responsibility for Illinois’ nearly $100 billion pension crisis that extends far beyond the impeached ex-governor’s scandalous time in office.

In the dark hours of Thursday morning, Feb. 28, I awoke to find CNN featuring a continuous shot of a helicopter. The network cut between a close-up and a distant dot. It was Benedict, flying from the Vatican City. This was extraordinary attention for an ordinary cardinal, because as Benedict told the throng awaiting him, “I am no longer pope.” I am not a scholar of Catholic history, but I believe we were witnessing the first time the papal throne was vacant. It may have been occupied by rogues, scoundrels, impostors or even a woman, but always there was someone sitting there.

Ald. James Cappleman (46th) informed the Salvation Army on Friday that it is no longer welcome to feed the poor in Uptown from its homeless outreach trucks. Cappleman gave the social service agency one month to find a new North Side location — outside his ward — before ceasing operations, said Capt. Nancy Powers, who oversees the Salvation Army’s homeless program in Chicago.

American health care is being transformed, for better or worse. “Better,” in this case, means parts of the Affordable Care Act that have polled well and been enacted, taking their place comfortably in the medical system. These include letting dependent children stay on their parents’ health insurance until age 26 and a ban on insurance companies dropping children for pre-existing conditions

It’s takedown time. Ald. Howard Brookins Jr., who has been blasting Police Supt. Garry McCarthy for the city’s gang violence, seems to be talking out of both sides of his mouth. Critics claim Brookins, who is demanding police grapple harder with guns and gangs, is undermining police action by representing gang members with gun convictions.

Nice try, Mr. President. Feigning anger, firing an unknown bureaucrat and fleeing the podium won’t cut it with voters, or stop the hemorrhaging of the scandals that have spawned a Watergate-like feel around the Obama administration. There was a certain panicky look about the way the president quickly delivered a rare evening White House statement to try to quell the growing outrage over the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups. The move showed how damaging the scandal has become to Obama’s second term and maybe even his presidency. But Obama took no questions and, more importantly,

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches. The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is. I mean, that´s what happened to Republicans in 1998 with Bill Clinton.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever).
