If President Obama loses this election...

I know of nothing he can be blamed for like Gore or Kerry was blamed when they lost. To be honest if Obama loses I might be on board with the election being stolen or worse yet enough dumb, uneducated, gullible so-called "Independent Voters" fell for the lies like "Jeep is moving to China" & the lies his surrogates tell on Sunday talk shows like "Obama's cover-up in Libya is worse than Watergate".

And of course the pure racism being used by the right!!!

I will not blame Obama for anything...The only mistake he made, if you want to call it that was the poor debate. However, looking at all the crap Romney was doing up until that point like his attacking Obama the morning after the attack in Libya, the lies & flip flopping on every issue, refusal to release taxes & especially his 47% video all of which had Obama done he would not even have a chance at winning...But one poor debate performance & many in the voting public runs to Romney!! It is obvious race is playing a major role in many people's minds when it comes to voting for Obama...He is obviously held to a much higher standard than any other white POTUS would be.

I hate even writing this because I hate using the race card unless it is obvious like it is now...The Republicans have made race an issue by their coded racism & disgusting attacks on Obama that would not otherwise been made...They forced Obama to show his birth certificate! WTF!?!?!

All the economic data shows how Obama's policies turned this country back from total collapse & now the economy is fixed & ready for Mitt Romney to take full credit for Obama's work & will be able to easily create 12 million jobs over the next 4yrs...Because economist are saying that will probably happen without doing anything!

Just like always the Democrat fixes Republican mess & then the American people vote the Republicans back into office so they can destroy it again.

Sorry, i am just very nervous & venting...But I am 100% serious about what I have said!

If he loses, I wont blame it on his debate performance. He wasnt electrifying, but he was adequate, factual and true to his principles. The media - particularly MSNBC - is responsible.for focusing entirely on style, thereby helping to create the Dean Scream meme that was talked about 'til the Biden-Ryan debate.

is the reason they are so willing to believe the worst about him without question.

If America didn't tolerate the hatred from Rush Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity etc., it would be less of an issue now than it was in 2008, but sadly a section of the media has pandered to the prejudices of the ignorant.

and every left leaning pundit who refused to have his back for the past four years.

Right wing nut job pundits had Bush's back for four solid years. On our side they stuck knives in Obama's back.

that's the REAL reason why this election is so damned close, when it shouldn't be, because Romney is such a blatant liar

I am SO nervous. This polling scares the you-know-what out of me. Only Nate Silver's blog has kept me optimistic that we'll be able to pull this off.

Focus on "The Big Five"

OHIO
WISCONSIN
PENNSYLVANIA
MICHIGAN
NEVADA

Koch brothers, big oil etc. etc. etc.
There's a documentary called, The Billionaires Tea Party

The Tea Party ain't really grass roots.
It's got big money behind it.

I think big money is buying into bigotry, playing on emotions etc.
