Ms. Pinko Just Called Me…
Ms. Pinko just called me to tell me about a bumper sticker she just saw “Dogs Against Romney… I Ride Inside the Car.”
I then replied, “I rather be Romney’s dog than Obama’s.”
She asked, “Why?”
My reply, “Obama ATE dog.”
Her reply, “You’re nuts!” and then hung up on me.
This election is going to be like the movie “Pacific Heights”. Ousting Obama is not going to be easy.

Speaking as an Intrade.com gambler here:
My money’s on Obama as of now. Why?
1) Romney is not consolidating the base on the Right.
2) Romney is letting Obama defining him on the Center.

Presidential elections are like the Masters. It doesn’t start until the back nine on Sunday.
Polling now is meaningless. The first meaningful poll is the one after Romney picks a veep and then the all important poll after the first presidential debate.
Until then, it is all junk science.

I respect your work on this blog A LOT. Yet methinks you are wrong here.
I know you guys don’t like Noonan, but isn’t she right on the money here?:
Quote:
The oldest cliché in presidential politics is that no normal person cares about the election until after Labor Day, when the kids are back in school. It’s a cliché because it’s always been true. I’ve seen it. But I don’t think it’s true anymore, and in fact has been changing for some time.
The cliché is replaced by a new one: The screens are everywhere. There’s no place to hide from presidential candidates anymore. For a solid year they follow you from the TV monitor in the airport to the one in the taxi; you check your smartphone and they’re in the inbox telling you their plans and asking for money. You get home, turn on the TV, fire up the computer, and they’re there.
No one can hide anymore: politics will find you. And you wind up having an impression of a candidate sooner than you meant to, and it hardens into an opinion earlier than it used to. People don’t make the decision after Labor Day anymore.
They’re making their decisions now. They’ve been making them for months.
It’s showing in the polls. A NYT/CBS swing-state survey that came out this week reflects the dynamic: In the three states they polled, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, when respondents were asked who they were voting for, only 4% of them said they didn’t know. The number who said they might change their mind was in the low double digits.
In May through July, the Cooperative Campaign Analysis Project did a big national poll of 10,000 likely voters, and only 5% of the properly weighted sample said they weren’t sure who they wanted to vote for.
Old-school thought says we’re waiting for the campaign to begin. But we’re in the campaign. We’re kind of getting close to the end.

@Mr. Pinko–
Just photocopy the relevant page(s) in his book and show them to her.(You can throw in Michelle’s secret dog-cuisine recipes, if you want fallback.)

Romney’s giving Obama more and more rope to hang himself. I can’t wait for the debates. Look at how he knocked that smug look off Brian Williams’s face with his “boring white guy” comeback.

War on dogs? Yeah, that looks like a winner for Obama with 23 million under and unemployed in the Obama economy…

Pinko, sounds like yous needs a new gal!
(or, are we talkin’ spouse here?)
Katechon, I call BS on your Noonan gambit. She’s bee full of it for years, and has been DESPERATELY seeking relevance with *newsflashes* like, “The screens are everywhere. There’s no place to hide from presidential candidates anymore.”
Like, GEE FUCKING WOW. Glad she told me; I’d never have know it….TWENTY YERARS AGO.
Sounds more like you’re trying to conjure up some WISHFUL THINKING. While there *may* indeed be fewer “undecideds” this time around at the moment, the dynamics leave MUCH to be decided by November 6th. MUCH. Don’t bet the house on anything yet, sonny.

Nothing that Obummer has thrown at Romney has stuck. Obama is furious that it’s all backfiring on him. I’m with Czar. Obama will lose in a landslide – and I’m a gambler.

Did you happen to see the Noonan article about 2 weeks ago, in which she in effect EQUATED
1) the Ralph Lauren fashion faux pas of having the clothes made in China
with
2) Obama’s “you didn’t build that” speech?!?
The lights are on…ain’t NOBODY home…at Peggy’s.

Many thanks for the update on Noonan. I don’t read her anymore. Someone pasted that extract on Race42012.com
I have $40,000 riding on Obama now, but I could flip flop my position anytime. There’s a lot of liquidity!

“Pacific Heights” – I loved the hell out of that movie. See, when that movie came out I had just bought a 3-unit rental property. I was living in one unit and renting out the other two like the slumlord that I was.
That movie was a wake-up call to fact-check the shit out of prospective tenants. I even dug up a law that said if the owner lived on the property and it was three rental units or less, the owner could discriminate all they wanted against free-loading feckless Section 8 fucktards. Good times, good times.

Katechon – I beg to differ. Several reasons….
1) the Democrats stole the 2008 election via massive voter fraud in three states that were enough to give Obama the edge in the Electrical College (I watch the Simpsons – it’s forever more the Electrical College). That wimp McCain KNEW about the voter fraud and still did nothing to initiate a recount in those three states for fear the minorities would get uppity and riot. FACT. That reach-across-the-aisle retard would rather be regarded as Mr Nice Guy than stand up for America and make sure everyone’s vote was counted fairly. You can rest assured Gov Romney’s crew won’t allow that shit to happen this time around.
I talk to several hundred small business owners every week, all across the country. Businesses ranging in size from ten employees to ten thousand. Every single one of ‘em is furious with Obama and his Fortune 500 Crony Capitalism, class warfare, Solyndra shenanigans, etc etc etc. You can bet that they talk with their employees on a daily basis and tell them how Obama’s policies are affecting their businesses. “Joe, you & I built this business, not the Democrats. I can’t afford to give you a raise because of Obama. I can barely afford to keep you hired. I don’t know about you but I’m voting Romney.”
Hell, even the guys who openly admitted to me in 2008 that they voted for that feckless fascist fumble-fingered flatulent fucktard are now perhaps the loudest in their fury and anger towards Obama. It’s probably because they know now they were deceived by the Obama Campaign and the MSM Fifth Columnists.
