In reply to the discussion: We are going to get “Trashed in 2012 Elections” [View all]A Simple Game
(9,214 posts)63. President Obama defenders most definitely know he is in trouble.
You can almost smell the panic in their posts, blaming the people that may not vote for him instead of blaming him for giving them no reason to vote for him.
They don't understand that the old "vote for the lesser of two evils" just isn't getting it done anymore.
Their fear of Ron Paul is almost visible in the air, they know if he gets the nomination, or runs as a third party candidate, he will take a good percentage of his votes away from President Obama.

Wrong. Leftists voted Democratic in 2010. It was centrists who stayed home or voted Republican.

The statement that "liberals stayed home" is dim and silly and stupid and wrong

Do you really hold the "Leftists" entirely responsible for the 2010 losses?

I think that the opposite could happen. I feel that Obama will be reelected, but

For Obama to need a formidable opponent to lose, Obama would have to be formidable first; he isn't.

Apparently your standards for formidable are low enough for Obama to pass. Not mine.

Then he didn't lead, he didn't get the job done, however you define the job, unless you're saying

Early polls, fwiw. That said, Obama leads in *all* head-to-head match ups save 3.

It's been pretty amazing to me that a lot of posters here think Obama's reelection is a given.

You can just repeat "We're gonna get trashed" every year. You'll be right every few years
