Romney is toast

I really think this convention was the final nail in his marbel coffin. Romney looked like a fool and liar. War mongering with Russia? Really that's how you end your speech. Failing to mention our service men and women in Afghanistan while droning on and on about your nostalgic view of America. Then there was that train wreck that happened all the way from California to Florida courtesy of tough talker Clint Eastwood. Obama came off better and stronger without even having to say a word.

Let's face it four years ago President Obama ran against a man that was far more experienced as both a politician and possessing far more military experience and quite honestly far more liked and respected by both independent voters and democrats. For all McCains faults and he had many, he was at least a decent man who could find time to give a shit about people that didn't share his narrow political and fiscal ideals. McCain even had some support from black and Hispanic voters. Yet President Obama beat McCain handedly.

Romney has zero support from minority voters and has far more baggage at this point in the campaign than did McCain. I really believe President Obama is about ready to wipe the floor with Romney and I believe President Obama will destroy Romney in a landslide election win.

I can't wait to hear what President Obama has to say next week at the DNC.

1. I think you're right but not because of warped policy ideas.

He is, first and foremost, unlikeable. That is a more certain nail in the coffin than making empty postures about Russia.

4. The media likes to act as if it's close to generate interest.

Why don't the television media show the polling as far as predicted electoral votes are concerned, as they do on websites? Imo, it's because it would show President Obama with a better path to 270 electoral votes needed to win the election. Also, I find it difficult to believe that there is only a point or two difference with the President leading comfortably with blacks, latinos, women and younger voters.

The convention and debates will be the icing on the cake. Romney & Ryan are going to be held accountable for all of their lying. The Pres & V.P. are going to absolutely destroy Romney & Ryan with the facts that are on our side.

He's white--not at all toasty brown. We absolutely cannot afford to be complacent.
