Much as it pains me to agree with trzaska, he is absolutely right in this case. Joel Send a noteboard - 14/03/2012 04:21:43 PM
I elaborated on it further in my response to Isaac in that subthread between you, him and moondog. Obama absolutely must win FL or OH, and will probably need VA, too, if he only gets OH. He won all three last time, plus NC, on high enthusiastic turnout that will simply not be there this time, and did not have a large margin even then (FL was closest, at 2%; if Rubio is Romneys VP that race is hopeless for Obama.) If Romney runs even as well as McCain did but Obamas turnout dips even a little he loses FL, and possibly OH as well: Game over.

can *any* republican pose a challenge to obama in november? - 14/03/2012 04:06:59 AM 1484 Views
Yes, absolutely..... - 14/03/2012 04:12:30 AM 948 Views
"anybody but obama" is not a winning strategy - 14/03/2012 02:28:23 PM 906 Views
It can definitely work.....don't compare 2012 to 2004. - 14/03/2012 02:44:39 PM 778 Views
this is why it will be 2004 all over again if romney is nominated - 16/03/2012 02:22:26 PM 843 Views
It sure as Hell is, as long as the candidate is moderate - 14/03/2012 03:04:10 PM 1043 Views
Did you vote for Obama in 2008? - 14/03/2012 03:47:55 PM 769 Views
Yes I did. If Romney is the candidate, I will vote Romney this year. *NM* - 14/03/2012 08:39:41 PM 474 Views
Second me on that. *NM* - 15/03/2012 09:25:39 PM 405 Views
Strongly qualifying your statement really weakens the "anyone". *NM* - 14/03/2012 10:14:45 PM 483 Views
The statement "anyone but Obama" can be a rallying cry, but only for the right candidates. - 16/03/2012 01:47:48 AM 949 Views
somehow i don't see romney having much credibility versus obama - 16/03/2012 02:16:32 PM 846 Views
Spoken like a true Obama partisan - 16/03/2012 04:18:21 PM 822 Views
It's actually not about credibility. - 16/03/2012 09:57:41 PM 884 Views

I love that "Gas Costs More!" is the current rallying cry. - 14/03/2012 10:13:04 PM 847 Views
Sure, if Israel hits Iran and Obama looks weak. - 14/03/2012 04:56:23 AM 964 Views
i think iran/israel is probably the biggest issue at the moment - 14/03/2012 02:25:29 PM 939 Views
I would put serious money on an Israeli attack before the election. - 14/03/2012 02:56:55 PM 956 Views
"if netanyahu is smart" is a hell of a qualifier - 16/03/2012 02:28:55 PM 901 Views
FL and/or OH and VA. - 14/03/2012 04:55:04 PM 1054 Views
Yes, Romney. - 14/03/2012 10:59:26 AM 953 Views
I know that I would consider voting for Romney - 14/03/2012 01:05:47 PM 913 Views
If you will pardon an impertinent question: Why? - 14/03/2012 03:26:01 PM 890 Views
The answer to the question is yes. *NM* - 14/03/2012 02:24:51 PM 565 Views
I was thinking no, and here's my rationale: - 14/03/2012 03:41:21 PM 865 Views
Romney doesn't have to "steal" people away..... - 14/03/2012 03:48:00 PM 860 Views
Isn't that a pretty tenuous strategy? - 14/03/2012 04:49:42 PM 935 Views

Interesting. So you guys are basically saying I'm right, but it might not matter - 14/03/2012 04:53:48 PM 935 Views
Yes and no - 14/03/2012 06:23:47 PM 1061 Views
