    1. I think many have no problem telling him off to his face. After all, Joe The Plumber had no problem. The issue is Obama keeping his cocoon around him, so that he doesn’t have to hear it.

  1. The Imperial Presidency has gotten out of hand. On Wednesday here in Denver they shut down a 5 miles stretch of I-25 south of downtown, during the circus because it passes within a mile where Our Sun King was. (Fortunately I could work from home). And we’ve all heard horror stories about Los Angeles seizing up due to His sucking up to Hollywood money.

    Unfortunately, this won’t change with President Romney. But maybe he will stay home more than the Campaigner-in-Chief, at least during the first few years.

  2. I was in Vegas for a couple of days this week. We’d intended to take a trip to the Grand Canyon, but unfortunately Obama turned up and the air tours weren’t allowed to fly out of the airport while he was in town.

    So there’s a $700 instant loss to the local economy.

  3. How long before this guys tax records are leaked or the local some local Democrat tries to pulls his permits and licenses?

    1. If he loses badly and takes down much of the House and Senate with him, I think lots of Democrats who’ve spent the last four years protecting him will turn on him as a whipping boy, in which case lots of documentation about his life that has remained hidden under seal and locked in vaults will trickle out.

      1. I too have wondered how the House and Senate races will go, and although this is just my opinion I find the current poll results being reported to be particularly unreliable. Do you have any speculation on how things will go Nov 6?

      2. Well, I looked at some Ohio polling (pre-debate) that had Obama up by 9%, but the absentee ballot data, at this point the only cross-check to polls, showed Romney doing about 11 points better than McCain did in 2008. Crunching through all that, it implies that the polling was overstating Obama by 12.5%. Taking that as 9% just to be conservative, and then assuming that Romney will win states where he is less than 9% behind Obama, it’ll be a walkover in the electoral college.

        Anyway, if due to sampling problems the polls are skewed that badly toward Democrats, then the House and Senate polls are likewise skewed.

        If Obama’s poor debate performances continue his coattails are going to get very small because Democrat enthusiasm is going to be nil.

      3. I live in a pretty conservative Southeastern state and there is no question Romney will win here, but among the die hard Democrats that my wife and I work with we are already hearing their concerns that the GOP will steal the election. And they are serious. Yet if I suggest that we would all benefit from some kind of voter ID verification at the polls and when requesting absentee ballots they become unglued.

        I’m not ready to call out the National Guard, but I am beginning to concede the possibility that there may be some civil unrest after election day in urban areas because the pollsters continue to use known issues with current sampling methods.
