Are We Headed for Another Electoral Mess?
Made popular 357 days ago in Opinion
rollcall.com — The 2012 presidential election looks like it could well be another squeaker, and if it is, a number of possible outcomes could produce national hand-wringing, finger-pointing, complaints of unfairness and anger, further dividing Americans and undermining confidence in our political system.
A dozen years ago, Democrat Al Gore drew 540,000 votes more than Republican George W. Bush but lost the presidency when Bush carried Florida and won 271 electoral votes.

There is no reason that couldn’t happen again, with President Barack Obama winning a narrow popular vote victory and losing in the Electoral College. Most of the same states are in play as were in 2000, and any close popular vote outcome raises the possibility of a split decision, especially because Obama is likely to “waste” large numbers of votes in carrying a handful of populous states.

Obama is going to play like Fritz Mondale. The RATs are whistling past the graveyard because the elite liberal media is doing a fine job of non reporting the facts. How'd you like the liberals in Taxachusetts heckling David Axelpuke today? Better get used to it. W also showed a better sense of humor and one Hell of a lot more class at his portrait unveiling in the White House today while Barry showed what a small narcissistic man he is as usual. You libs sure have a fine man to try and get reelected on his failed record. Good luck chumps!

Obama may not even be on the ballot in Florida!

A lot of concern in Florida and Holder has stopped the removal of non citizens from our voter rolls in Florida. First we removed 50,000 dead people from the rolls and now we were removing other illegal voters. Too much for Mr. A. G. Holder as the opportunities for massive voter fraud were taking too much of a toll on the democRAT parties' ambitions. This Attorney General needs to be impeached and prosecuted. There is no reason to question the need for picture ID's to vote other than a concern that it would inhibit fraudulent voting by democRAT operatives. Do you like having your vote negated by democRAT shenanigans?

The problem with you Obama idea is that he plans on giving up the majority of the country to win the DEEP BLUE states. More and more the Democrats are not a national party.
