…until Election Day 21012. A few thoughts I think are worth keeping in mind two months before things get going in earnest.

Forget about the polls. It’s hard to believe most pollsters are still polling registered voters at this point; unless you see a poll of likely voters it doesn’t mean a thing.

Forget about polls that lean heavily Democratic. The fact of the matter is, this remains a center-right country where independents now outweigh both Democrats and Republicans. The mainstream dino-media would have you think everyone and their brother is a Democrat; just as the media would make you think half is the country is gay (the reality is ~ 2-3%), nothing could be further from the truth.

Of all the political commentators out there, you won’t find them more insightful than Jay Cost.

You won’t hear it from people, but dislike of Barack Obama runs deep and broad. You read stories like this, and you understand why you don’t, and won’t, see people making their preferences known in letters to newspapers, bumper stickers, and front yard signs. The fact is, the liberal left are totally unhinged at the prospect of Barack Obama losing and will resort to any means, even violence, to attack those who don’t toe the line. It’s a level of thuggishness that the media won’t cover and the Democratic Party leadership – even President Obama – will never condemn. It’s shameful, disgraceful, and dangerous to allow the losers the liberal left has become to behave in such a fashion.

The above point is not to be underestimated – my neighbor who’s a GOP operative says he’s lost count of the number of life-long Democrats and independents who’ve told him they won’t – even in the presence of family and friends – discuss their true intent to vote against President Obama; they’re too afraid of who might find out. They’re content to just keep their mouth shut and wait for that moment when they can draw that curtain and make their true feelings known.

There are liars and then there are damned lying liars, and the Obama administration puts lying liars to shame with their utter hypocrisy and lies, and unprecedented incompetence. You read stories like this – from someone who has yet to release his medical records or even his college transcripts! – and you wonder where on God’s earth the media is on this. What a joke.

And to think, Barack Obama ran in 2008 as a candidate who was going to “unite America”, “change the tone in Washington”, and run “the most transparent administration in history”. It’s really beyond laughable that people actually buy that bullshit. Both Barack Obama and his administration have become a joke of the worst kind, and one can only hope the joke is on him four months from now.
