8. They gotta get those ratings, you see

I don't believe for one second that this is a close race.
I see Obama trouncing that clown Romney by 20 percentage points, 10 at least.

Obama WILL get his 2nd term, there's no doubt about it.
The REAL fight is the downticket.
How do we get the RIGHT Democrats (strong Progressive/Liberal Democrats) into the Congressional races to help Obama sign the plans this country needs to advance?

The time to end the Southern Strategy & Reaganism is right here in 2012.
I don't want a gradual shift, I want a total overhaul of that philosophy.

I'm not concerned about this so-called media.
They depend on viewership for dollars so they're not gonna state the obvious that Romney never had a chance in hell of winning this election.
Republicans KNOW they're whooped in 2012. That's why they put forth that collection of jabronies in the primaries.
They themselves are planning for 2016.
It's gonna be a blowout for Obama. That's not a real concern.
The real concern is getting him a Congress that will be beneficial to him.
