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 1389 Views
Yes, absolutely..... - 14/03/2012 04:12:30 AM 830 Views
"anybody but obama" is not a winning strategy - 14/03/2012 02:28:23 PM 802 Views
It can definitely work.....don't compare 2012 to 2004. - 14/03/2012 02:44:39 PM 679 Views
this is why it will be 2004 all over again if romney is nominated - 16/03/2012 02:22:26 PM 728 Views
It sure as Hell is, as long as the candidate is moderate - 14/03/2012 03:04:10 PM 929 Views
Did you vote for Obama in 2008? - 14/03/2012 03:47:55 PM 670 Views
Yes I did. If Romney is the candidate, I will vote Romney this year. *NM* - 14/03/2012 08:39:41 PM 424 Views
Second me on that. *NM* - 15/03/2012 09:25:39 PM 348 Views
Strongly qualifying your statement really weakens the "anyone". *NM* - 14/03/2012 10:14:45 PM 425 Views
The statement "anyone but Obama" can be a rallying cry, but only for the right candidates. - 16/03/2012 01:47:48 AM 835 Views
somehow i don't see romney having much credibility versus obama - 16/03/2012 02:16:32 PM 725 Views
Spoken like a true Obama partisan - 16/03/2012 04:18:21 PM 723 Views
It's actually not about credibility. - 16/03/2012 09:57:41 PM 787 Views

I love that "Gas Costs More!" is the current rallying cry. - 14/03/2012 10:13:04 PM 745 Views
Sure, if Israel hits Iran and Obama looks weak. - 14/03/2012 04:56:23 AM 843 Views
i think iran/israel is probably the biggest issue at the moment - 14/03/2012 02:25:29 PM 839 Views
I would put serious money on an Israeli attack before the election. - 14/03/2012 02:56:55 PM 861 Views
"if netanyahu is smart" is a hell of a qualifier - 16/03/2012 02:28:55 PM 788 Views
FL and/or OH and VA. - 14/03/2012 04:55:04 PM 950 Views
Yes, Romney. - 14/03/2012 10:59:26 AM 843 Views
I know that I would consider voting for Romney - 14/03/2012 01:05:47 PM 812 Views
If you will pardon an impertinent question: Why? - 14/03/2012 03:26:01 PM 786 Views
The answer to the question is yes. *NM* - 14/03/2012 02:24:51 PM 513 Views
I was thinking no, and here's my rationale: - 14/03/2012 03:41:21 PM 751 Views
Romney doesn't have to "steal" people away..... - 14/03/2012 03:48:00 PM 755 Views
Isn't that a pretty tenuous strategy? - 14/03/2012 04:49:42 PM 798 Views

Interesting. So you guys are basically saying I'm right, but it might not matter - 14/03/2012 04:53:48 PM 836 Views
Yes and no - 14/03/2012 06:23:47 PM 954 Views
