Oh, hey, I didn't see you there. *puts down pipe, swivels around in chair wearing only a bathrobe, in the background you can see my roaring fireplace*

Greetings, fellow Americans and Godless pinko commie non-Americans! I have enjoyed this series of posts and would hate to see September go by without an update. As we all know, Romney is poised to strike at the heart of America, reaping its organs and drinking the sweet blood of victory. If you don't believe me, I have massive piles of evidence to support my point.


For one thing, the RCP average for Obama's Job Approval is only at 49.9! That means that a full 50.1 disapprove of him. That's basic math folks, and that translates to votes at the poll. In fact, forget the average, as our local hero Rasmussen even has more disapproval than approval, at 48 versus 51! It's hard being the only one to have a different opinion, that's why I only watch Fox News.

That's not all for good news! RCP only has Obama's poll results at a paltry 4.1 spread. Only 4 points up, and when you consider that 30% of voters are undecided, that means he's actually down 26 points! Rough times are ahead for Obama, and we're not even counting the post-convention bounce! Any day now that's going to drop, and then Obama will be in even bigger trouble! I think the bounce is slated to run out in 2016, which I believe gives Romney ample time to transport the entire voting population back in time 4 years, kill off their younger counterparts, and vote in their stead. Sometimes we make brave and patriotic sacrifices to pave the way for America's future. Even Rasmussen has Obama up 1 point, which just tells you how screwed he is. This late and he's only up one point? That translates to a Romney victory right there. My methodology is sound. Here's a chart:



As you can see, Romney has his poker face on and Obama is ready to telephone it in.

Some may be thinking that consumers sit glued to their screen, ready to tailor their spending habits entirely to a giant macroeconomic jobs report that doesn't ever affect them personally. Those people would be right! At the release of the August jobs report, consumer confidence reacted accordingly... by increasing! Woohoo! They know Romney is going to win, so they're spending it up! That, or maybe consumer confidence isn't affected by the jobs report, but that's what the LIEberuhl media would like you to believe. Don't believe their lies, friends. Don't even believe in yourselves. Believe in me, who believes in you!

Some would also like to say that more jobs have been made in the Obama administration than lost, and that unemployment claims are at a two month low, but once again this information is taken out of context. You see, this is only counting from when Obama took office in January 2009, but he's still way down from January 2008, a full year before he took office! In fact, why stop there? He's down from 2006, 1996, and likely 1969 as well! Could his hippie tendencies have doomed the American economy, all the way from 1969? I'll let you decide, friends.

Finally, the last bit of good news is the fact that Obama has significant leads in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Why is that good news? Because it means Obama voters will stay home, confident in their victory! More evidence for Romney's inevitable victory.

As we can see, it is truly and uphill battle for Obama. Even with 47% of the country in the tank for him, that obviously leaves 53% that go directly toward Romney. I, for one, am waiting for the eventual landslide that puts America back on the right track. How do you feel about Obama's chances? Is he as doomed as the evidence says he is?

Thank you fellow Americans and [insert compliment to non-Americans here, Allan]!

I skimmed it. Romney's leading by 90%. The silent majority speaks.

I'd ask you to explain your methodology and how it compares to others, but clearly you're doing something everyone else is not.

Also, according to my completely scientific poll yesterday regarding Mitt Romney's unsettling white glow, his primary fuel cell has been damaged, indicating at most a month of erratic behavior before Judgement Day.

I was skeptical until the pie chart. It has math and things, it must be true.

Truly an uphill battle

Must be one of those Florida hills, you know, like this

There is a slight rise in elevation, granted it's underwater but...

In fact, that could be a good working title for these in the future.

Given this Administration is doing most of the same things the other one did, what precisely is the difference between Obama and Romney in terms of the worst legacies of Shrub?

None whatsoever, in fact Bush II wasn't even that bad when viewed in a historical context.

That's the joke.

"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
