One good reason Obama will win re-election in a landslide



Deputy Campaign Head Stephanie Cutter.

Do not bring any weak ass talking points to her because she will "thump them."

Just saw he on Face the Nation .... I skipped Joe Lieberman

Maybe it's being done on a state-by-state basis, but haven't heard anything other than that the DOJ is getting involved in some cases.

imo the gotv effort will need to include getting everybody an acceptable ID.

Electronic voting machines. My best guess he won in 2008 by 30 million pre-Diebold, 3 million after.


We must stop voter suppression and election rigging or we're screwed.

If you are going to promote voting machine conspiracies, at least get your facts straight.

They are the professional election losers that should not be hired on any campaign at at, ever.

Cutter did work on the Kerry 2004 campaign, but was also a Clinton aide and worked on the last Obama campaign.

Obama is up in every demographic except old white men.

Still got to get out and work though.

He's just too gaffe prone and out of touch. And I don't buy the absurd Repuke talking point that "people hire Presidents even tho they don't like them."

.... too many groups do not now and will never in the future support Romney.

Women
Latinos
Gays
African Americans
Teachers
Unions / Workers (except for the brain dead who vote against their own best interests)
Students
Environmentalists
People who have jobs thanx to the Auto Industry Loans

The numbers for Romney are brutal but the media will sell this as a horse race from now
until the election and team Obama will work like they are running from behind too.

the Senate! Otherwise, we are in for another 2 years of total gridlock for Obama! We can't shackle him that way. If anything is to get done we have to get back the House and retain the Senate!

the few times I heard her ( a while ago I must add) she really didn't seem to be quite on the ball and not all that confident. Maybe things have changed, it's been a while.
