It’s time to put up or shut up. We have four months until the November 6th Election and its not too early to make your predictions. Here are mine.
Bobby Jindal will be Romney’s VP. This is a no brainer. He’s a successful executive as Governor of Louisiana. He can throw the BP oil spill in Obama’s face. He’s a real Conservative and balances out Mitt Romney’s Liberal Republicanism, thus reassuring the Right. He’s Indian and that would be historic to have a member’s of that ethnicity on a ticket. Jindal is Catholic and that would shove Obama’s war on the Catholic Church in his face. Bobby Jindal is young and represents (hopefully) the future of the GOP.
I predict that the Republicans will win the Senate gaining 5 seats to bring their total up to 52, while the Democrats will be down to 47. The Republicans will hold the House of Representatives and will either lose 5 seats or gain 5-10 seats.
As for the Presidential election, I have Mitt Romney defeating the Pharaoh 52% – 47%. Romney will get 326 electoral votes to Obama’s 212 Electoral Votes.
Here is a link so you can make your own electoral predictions. I will do a new prediction come September.

Welcome to the Obama is not a shoo in world. It is a brighter and happier place to live. I call it Hopetychangeitbackville. Come on in, the water’s fine.
Rodan etal,
Take a look at lgf’s before CJ gets up and deletes it all.
He put up a Rachale MadCow deal on how dumb Issa and the R’s are on F & F… but, down thread posters state that Holder has to go,, that others at ATF have to go, ref. to Sheryl Adkitson’s of CBS story of the meetings on “will it help gun control” ,,, in with this talk of guns by Austin Blue and others on SKS’s ect.
CJ will not be a happy boss of the blog when he wakes up….
@ Flyovercountry:
Yes I have a reassessment. Romney has taken the fight to Obama. Plus Obama is not as formidable as I thought.
What are you predictions, I link to the map so you can do one too!
@ taxfreekiller:
Thanks, I’m look at it now.
John Bryson resigns as commerce secretary, citing recent seizure

Обама 27 (IL, DC, HI)
I figured, someone here has to be doing some Wishful Thinking, so why the hell not!
@ Rodan:
I came up with 379 to 155, and I would not at all be surprised to see Obama win only Illinois, DC, and Maine.

Hey, you guys reelected Jerry, “Moon Beam,” Brown. You stay blue until you prove otherwise.

Yes for now, but that can change.
What is your tally?
Don’t think New Mexico is in play which is why I’ll vote for Johnson.

Yep Rodan he has. Like I have always said…I know Romney is our only choice, but, and here is a big but I was praying and hoping he would be a whole lot better than we thought he would be. Guess what? He is bringing the game big time!
Darn! I am too stupid to play this game. But Minnesota might go red.Romney is pretty inoffensive to mid-westerners.
doriangrey wrote:
I think Califronia will be half red to be honest. All the hispanics living there are guess what? Catholic. Obama’s war on the Catholic Church and now the Baptist Church has come out that gay rights are NOT civil rights ….which they aren’t will not help obama at all.
@ Rancher:
I was thinking of making it Blue, but If Romney is winning by 5% nationally, there’s a possibility he may carry it.
I’ll revise in September.

(CBS News) — Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation “Fast and Furious” to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.
In Fast and Furious, ATF secretly encouraged gun dealers to sell to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels to go after the “big fish.” But ATF whistleblowers told CBS News and Congress it was a dangerous practice called “gunwalking,” and it put thousands of weapons on the street. Many were used in violent crimes in Mexico. Two were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
ATF officials didn’t intend to publicly disclose their own role in letting Mexican cartels obtain the weapons, but emails show they discussed using the sales, including sales encouraged by ATF, to justify a new gun regulation called “Demand Letter 3″. That would require some U.S. gun shops to report the sale of multiple rifles or “long guns.” Demand Letter 3 was so named because it would be the third ATF program demanding gun dealers report tracing information.
On July 14, 2010 after ATF headquarters in Washington D.C. received an update on Fast and Furious, ATF Field Ops Assistant Director Mark Chait emailed Bill Newell, ATF’s Phoenix Special Agent in Charge of Fast and Furious:
“Bill – can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same (licensed gun dealer) and at one time. We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun multiple sales. Thanks.”

Gary Johnson dropped out of the Republican primary and accepted the Libertarian nomination. If he gets enough support in the polls his strong fiscal conservative narrative could help push the Republican Party more towards smaller government.

I really like Gary Johnson. If the GOP nominate him, this election would be a wrap. He stands for Freedom and Individualism.

I’m pretty sure that this is a case of the Clinton’s, both Bill and Hill practicing Sun Tzu’s edict, “When your enemy is destroying himself, don’t get in his way”
Always keep this one tiny little detail in mind regarding the Clinton’s, they love the Democrat Party more then they love life itself. They will never do anything to intentional damage the Democrat Party. Fast and furious will do more damage to the Democrat Party then anything else Obama has done. It will make the damage Nixon’s Watergate did to the Republican party seem small and trivial.

If that is the case, it may be possible to get occasional responses from Twitter.

@ MacDuff:
You really trust the Republicans when it comes to Islam? Romney on Hannity 2 nights ago said he views Saudi Arabia and Turkey as good allies. He also came out in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria. If you think I am lying, ask Speranza, he saw it when I did and we spoke by phone afterwards.
Look I’m voting for the guy, but its only to remove Obama.
Washington State could go Red but you would have to invest in the main markers with an anti Obama, anti teachers union message. There are only 3 counties that always sway the election to the Dems. Pierce, King, and Snohomish. Pierce and Snohomish are more blue collar with more welfare. King has all the lefties. That is Seattle.
@ 83 MacDuff: he might not, but at that high level of government there are entrenched organizations and people telling leaders its the right thing to do. They would tell a POTUS going against it is just a lot of bad publicity, and being for it results in neutral publicity. I’d be for it, then once in office clamp down on it.
@ darkwords:
Bush in 2002 changed the Immigration Lottery Visas to allow more Muslims into America. Now our nation is flooded with Sonmalis and Pakistanis.
I just don’t get why people think the Republicans are strong on Islamic Imperialism. They are no different than the Democrats. They both support the Muslim Brotherhood.
