Does Romney have a shot?

Honestly I don't know how Romney's going to win, too many gaffes so far, the world seems to hate him... already, his advisors probably have to tell him to keep his mouth shut so he doesn't hurt his own campaign more. I really don't know how you republicans (I'm an independent) like Romney he's everything you hate, he outsourced jobs, pays less taxes than you and insults middle America, remember "Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs", the issue with the waitress, how he wouldn't eat a cookie because he thought it was made at some 711... those cookies are (*)(*)(*)(*)ing good! And lastly my favorite; how Romney and his rich donors sat back and watched ski jumpers... well jump haha. At least I knew Bush would kick back put a football game on and go threw a 6-pack like a normal guy.

Look I don't like Obama either and think NDAA is the worst thing since the Patriot act, I have countless issues with Obama but when given the choice Romney or Obama it's clear who I'm picking, and it's not the multi-million air that doesn't know what it's like to try and survive on minimum wage.


P.S. Don't tell me "HE DOES HAVE A SHOT, IT'S CLOSE IN THE POLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAWR YOU DUMB PERSON" I know this, I'm just saying he is out of touch with the average American.

So lets have a civilized conversation... and god bless

 

I think that Romney is a terrible candidate, but he definitely does have a pretty good shot at beating BO in November....If the economy gets a lot worse, it should be a pretty close race which could possibly swing either way as long as Mittens doesn't completely blow it in the debates....I'd make Obama a strong 8-5 favorite at this time but things could change in the next couple months....It is just sad that out of 300 million people, these two are the best our rigged two party system could produce...Cheers

 

100000% agree on everything you said.

 

As long as ObamaTax and Dodd-Frank are still on the books, anybody not named Obama has a shot.

 

What gaffe's? The MSM made up ones?

Where did you get that idea?

Even if true so what? Are you not aware we are in a global economy? We as American citizens are free to invest anywhere we wish, you think that should be restricted? Where did you get the idea that investment firms should be more concerned with jobs than protecting the capital of the investors? You do know the boy industrialist company's have outsource LOTS of jobs and he's done it with taxpayer money?

ROFL no he did not, he paid LOTS more EXPONENTIALLY more than you and I paid combined.

Is that really the best you got?

Oh you didn't know Romney and his wife lived in a basement apartment and he worked as a security guard while he was in college and she was raising the babies? Why do you think Obama knows what it is like to live on minimum wage, he was raised in a middle class home he never lacked for anything.

 

It's the economy stupid.

Normally the more charismatic candidate wins the Presidential election and Mitt Romney is the Republican John Kerry. But the economy is still anemic and unemployment is too high- and the voters will likely blame Obama.

I think this election people will be voting against Obama, not for Mitt- unless the Republicans really screw things up. I don't want Mitt to win, but I think Obama will lose entirely because of the economy.

And if that is the decision of the voters- so be it.

 

The stupidity on this forum is ridiculous, too many racist and too many people that think Obama is the evil, I'll be back after the elections to rub it in everyones face. Obama's going to win, at least he's human, Willard has to hide his first name just to relate. By the way I meant the percent of taxes he pays, there's no doubt he pays a lot in money wise. And about the outsourcing, I said that because Republicans hate it (most), yet are willing to support someone who did it... the world seems to dislike him already, Palestine does, his relationship with the UK is shaky because he insulted their Olympics, Poland seems to be the only country that likes him but most people around the world think he's the symbol of greed (I know many people from many different countries)... remember when everyone hated bush? This is similar.

 

The real question is: DOES OBAMA HAVE A SHOT?

(the answer is 'like an ice cube's chance in hell')

​

 

LOL... can't take the heat, probably best to leave the kitchen. Give the Disney forums a try... they're good for people who prefer fantasy to reality.

 

Do you think Obama and his TEAM are in touch with the average American???

 

Can we stop with the talking points and partisan hero worship just because they belong to a specific party. One of two that is responsible for the destruction of our economy to serve their rich/elite bosses.

Romney went straight from the elite Cranbrook private school outside Detroit to Stanford, to Brigham Young, to Harvard Business and Harvard Law, to a job at the Boston Consulting Group, and then the straight-to-the-stars business career that would make him a millionaire many times over. But a line hidden away in a 2007 New Republic article reveals that Romney did have a job before that, as a security guard at a Chrysler plant one summer during his high school years.


Babies? In high school? On a summer jobs wages? Please...



Obama’s very first job was scooping ice cream at a Honolulu Baskin-Robbins. He later described the brutal conditions he endured: "Chocolate ice cream gets real hard,” he has said. “Your wrists hurt. [Carpal tunnel syndrome, although] they didn't call it that.” That’s not the only reason he considers this his worst job — he ate too much ice cream and, consequently, doesn’t like it anymore.


Oh boo hoo…


Neither of these people have a clue what the average American goes through on a daily basis. They are the worst representation of an average anything, except poor little rich kids, who had everything handed to them on a silver platter. Obama was raised by his grandma a bank executive. Where do you people get such gullible minds?

 

LOL, notice how Obama's former supporters are taking up the pulpit to tell us BOTH candidates are lousy? Guess they figure it doesn't hurt Barry so much if they act like Mitt's just as bad.

Barack's career in private industry ended with his ice-cream shop job in high school. Hardly a legitimate comparison.

 

IMHO there are only a hand full of elected officials in either party that can even relate to being an average American, since the major majority of them are not and have never been one to begin with, and most of the others, who started out as normal every day people, have their collective noses buried so far up the country club crowds ass they can't even pick their own nose, much less the right direction for this country to go in.

 

I certainly hope that wasn't directed towards me, because it would be a blatant lie.

 

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

Who will you be supporting in November's election? None of the above??

 

You know you've lost the intellectual debate when all you have left are attempts at vile smears of your opposition.

 

Feel free, I'm not the harping on the so called "gaffes" talking points.

Actully he did missionary work for three years then returned and married Ann and they lived in a basement apartment driving a used station wagon while he attended school.

So his first failure was as a soda-jerk while living a nice middle class life in Hawaii.

I have no reason to believe either don't but it would be Obama who does not, Romeny and his wife lived a middle class life while he attended school and he made ALL his money on his OWN.

 

So do you think George Washington "was in touch with the average American"? Could he relate to being "an average American"? How about FDR? How about Kennedy?

 

Romney has a shot, but it's a long shot to anyone keeping an eye on the electoral college maps that are available to tinker with. By my reading, Romney will need to take FL, NC, VA, OH, and NH (or CO or IA instead of NH) to reach just over the needed 270 mark. If Obama takes just two of those away... game over. To make things worse... Romney can take NV, CO, VA, NC, NH, OH, and IA, but still lose if Obama takes FL (276-262). He's got work to do.

 

RCP averaged state polls and came up with Obama having a 95% chance of winning it all, leaving Romney with a 5% chance to win. While a chance is a chance, Romney is a very weak candidate who will not get the vote out. Obama is disliked but I think he will win more of the indy vote.

One thing is for sure, we are (*)(*)(*)(*)ed for at least the next 4 years.

 

Well wheter you want it or not, Romney will be the new president.We know that because he is the poster boy for the CFR.He is their chosen one.Him and his political advisor were at the bilderberger meeting this past july.Obama wasnt so Romney will be the newest new world order puppet for the establishment willing to serve their agenda.

Obama wasnt at the bilderbeger meeting this past july like he was four years ago.Four years ago Mccain wasnt there either.Plus wall street was backing Obama four years ago before his election.This time their not.This time they are backing Romney so count on him being the new president.Were screwed either way.

Neither believe in the constitution,both are backed by the zionists and funded by goldman sachs so its like having the choice of having to elect Hitler or Stalin.Your screwed EITHER way left voting for the lesser evil.I wont vote for evil so I wont vote.Our votes dont count anyways.Romneys camp has had so many rigged elections its obvious they want him in.

There no hope for the future of the world as long as we have this corrupt two party system which is really a ONE PARTY SYSTEM designed to look like two parties so the american sheople think they have a choice in who gets elected.we need a third party president who believes in the constitution in office who will serve the people.

Thats the only way were ever going to be a free country again.Romney equals Obama who equals Bush.Their all birds of a feather.No difference between any of the three.You seem to understand that though since you understand both the patriot act that Bush signed and the NDAA that Obama signed is against us and takes away our civil rights and libertys.

That being the case,you should head on over to this thread of mine here since youe awake and open minded.

http://www.politicalforum.com/elect...ns-why-you-fool-if-you-vote-obama-romney.html

all the Romney apologists that I have confronted many times before in the past and have taken them to school that there is no difference between the two candidates,they are all avoiding this thread.They want it to die.

They dont want to look at the evidence cause they are in denial so they are all avoiding this thread hoping it will die.

 

It would be a better vote than the other two options. I don't want either of them in charge. They are both equally as bad for basically the same reasons. They are not looking out for the interest of the nation as a whole. Neither are you, evidently. You want to see the problem look in the mirror some time.

 

Who gives crap about gaffes that you and the OP's mindless argument. What is Romney going to do to save America's economy? What?


Yes he evaded the draft with his missionary work just like most Mormon kids did, especially the way the wealthy families did who had political connections. He went through college knocking babies out left and right but never had a job. His wife was a house wife in this so-called basement apartment. Tell me was their any rent to this apartment? How about utilities? Who paid the rent/utilities? He didn't have a job, she didn't have a job. Who had the money that was paying for all this, and who footed the bill for his college?

Oh wait, he did have a job during his college years. Says he took a few months off college to 'drive' and help with the campaign of his mother who ran for senator. That was nice of mom to give her dead beat baby maker son with no job, a pity job and pay him enough for a minimum wage job to pay for 3 colleges including Harvard, and household expenses for how many years?

Good grief? Honestly, I would like to hear a legitimate answer for the question somebody already asked. 300 million people and these are the best two individuals they could come up with?

 

Most people who attain wealth today, came up through the ranks, virtually every high paid athlete or entertainer, as examples. Then there are those that create a product/service or rebuild another's failing business (Bain Capital) and to achieve must understand that common person, however you define "common person".

Be honest here, if you respond; Would you prefer the direction of the Country to be the current direction or back to the free market capitalist system, that everything meaningful to any American's life, came from?

 

You may think they're both equally bad... but there's one huge difference. Romney has never been POTUS.

Sounds like you're drinking that anti-Romney kool-aid. Not the best way to pick a president... as we can see by Barack Obama's track record.
