Ryan is the nail in Obama's coffin

I can't tell if Free Republic is legitimately divided or schizophrenic. Because along with those preemptively declaring that Obama's going to steal the election and plunge us all into some kinda Sharia-Athiest-Nazi-Healthcare regime, there is also an increasingly unhinged contingent who thinks polls bedamned, Obama is going to lose in a landslide:

Hojczyk knows there is a landslide, cause Reagan:

In 1980 Reagan was behind Carter till the Sunday before the election...I look for a landslide....do not believe the polls till the very end...Obama has never been in a close race ever....If Mittens takes the gloves of watch out..

LS is one of many Freepers for whom the Right's latest outrage is the best one:

“You didn’t build that” probably will be the four words that ended the Obama regime.

grey_whiskers knows everything that got Freepers mad must totally be getting everyone else mad:

Look at the 2010 elections and Scott Brown taking "Kennedy's Seat" ; and yet Obama-Pelosi *STILL* strongarmed through Obamacare, and Benedict Roberts still contorted all legal reasoning, in sophistry worthy of Blackmun in Roe v. Wade, to uphold it by any means necessary.

Now look at the number of Tea Partiers gaining upsets.

And then add a dash of Chick-Fil-A.

And note how few of Obaama's Chicago-Thug Personal Destruction Memes ever get even a mere foothold in the public mind.

This may be a GOP *landslide* -- and Romney will be savvy enough to distribute some credit to Ryan.

dandiegirl predicts the Dem convention will be full of catfish or something:

To top it off, the dem convention will be nothing but a freak show of the bottom dwellers of society.

RayChuang88 knows everyone loves Ryan and a flat tax:

You can tell once Romney picked Ryan as his running mate, the Obama campaign is sinking FAST.
Here's the problem: the Democrats can't figure out how to really denigrate Ryan. And all those recent "attack ads" is making Obama look increasing ridiculous, too. And Biden's innumerable gaffes is making it worse, not better.

And this is only the beginning: people forget that Ryan was one of the brightest people working for the Empower America lobbying organization back in 1995, working at the same time that one Steve Forbes was running that organization. As such, it would not surprise me that Ryan helped Forbes craft that no-loophole flat-rate income tax proposal Forbes proposed in 1996. In short, if the Romney/Ryan campaign announces they would support the flat tax similar to the Forbes proposal, Obama is FINISHED.

DemforBush explains Obama is too negative:

-Obama/Biden are scaring the heck out of people with their “base rallying” statements, and ticking off people with their increasingly shrill attacks. I’m not going to say negative campaign is ineffective, because history has shown otherwise. But there is a big difference between pummeling someone on the issues and the sort of spew we’re getting out of the Hopey-Changey team these days. I still believe that the overwhelming majority of American voters are, by and large, are a fair-minded bunch. And I believe a lot of those fair-minded folks have a growing disgust for the kinds of things Obama and his team are putting out there.

trebb prepares to blame America:

If Romeny’s not ahead by 10+ points come mid-October, the People aren’t paying attention.

patriotspride knows this is all 'cause of Sarah Palin.

Palin paved the way for what we are seeing today.

An in your face, with the facts approach.

No more HOPE ( for what ) and CHANGE ( undefined how)

A numbers guy who can speak plainly is devastating to a slogan man.....

A wonk beats soundbites? what world do you live in?

Oh, right.

HamiltonJay makes up for in CAPS what he lacks in evidence:

Obama cannot and will not get over 42-43% of the national vote, PEROID, and that is if he runs a flawless campaing, and frankly his campaign is a JOKE! Calling it Amateur Hour is an insult to amateurs everywhere.

He is looking at being the only president in the modern era who will end his term with fewer american’s working than were the day he took office, and what’s he want to talk about ?? Romney’s Taxes??? Its a JOKE! no one is listening to him. The publice has written this joker off.

The ONLY people listenting to Obama are basically the dye in the wool leftists.. NO ONE ELSE cares one iota about what he says, because everyone knows what he says is verbal excrement. The electorate has written him compeltely off.

generally knows the polls are just trying to trick you - he knows the truth!

1. I think most polls are fundamentally flawed. 2. I think many polls are merely left wing propaganda designed to influence what voters will do, not to predict what voters will do. 3. I think Romney has been ahead for quite some time. 4. I think one of the few accuracies in the polls is that they show he is gaining, which I believe he is. He is now even further ahead. 5. I think the polling organizations will show a further shift toward Romney as we get closer to election day. This will be for 2 reasons. 1) because there will be a further shift toward Romney and 2) because they will need to save face and protect their reputation for accuracy before election day. After all, who would hire them again or believe them again if they are wildly off in their predictions?

RayChuang88 knows the best polls are the ones you do yourself: lgjhn23 I never trust polls.

However, my wife and I just completed a road trip from Louisiana to Maine and back. We did our own little “poll” by looking for Romney and Obama bumper stickers on vehicles on the road.
We lost count of the Romney stickers once we got up over 50 or so, but only saw 3 Obama stickers: 2 in Massachusetts and 1 on Pennsylvania. So our unofficial “poll” says there is a landslide coming in November....and if they’re not in panic mode, they should be.
