(The inclusion of Palin's name illustrates how long ago I said this, because way back then, there was still a great deal of expectation that she would enter the race.)<br /><br />At that time, using plain "common sense" as this Vegas oddsmaker has done, I laid out the primary reasons I believed that Obama would be beaten in 2012 no matter who the Republican party chose to represent it (the 3 aforementioned politicians excluded).<br /><br />My reasons then are the same as my reasons now. EXCEPT that a new one was added recently. Obama's decision to speak out in favor of gay marriage hurt him. I'm sure he lost more of the Black and Youth vote than he won from the Gay vote. That was a very stupid political move that Marxslim made. But then, he IS stupid, so I'm not all that surprised.<br /><br />I don't believe the Democrats can lie, cheat, and steal enough to save Obama's presidency. I don't know about a "landslide" victory for Romney, but he is certainly going to win with plenty of breathing room. This ain't gonna need no "recount of hanging chads" (so to speak).<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
