Are Republicans really that confident that they're going to win again?

Question

I'm not bashing. I'm simply pointing out that all signs point to a democrat victory. Popularity, media coverage, electoral college, etc. all suggest the GOP's inevitable defeat.

Does the GOP have enough time to turn it around?

Answer 1

Republicans have to put on a brave face in public, but if you listen to some of the private interviews and such, they are very worried and depressed about the election.

However, I would not call their defeat inevitable. The election is still relatively close, though Obama has been pulling out in front. That may largely be a temporary side effect of the convention and Palin Problems, but still.

At the end of the day, if you want Obama to win, as I do, you still need to do everything you can to ensure that happens; do no rest on the assumption of easy victory.  Volunteer, donate and/or continue talking to undecided voters that you know. Remember, every little bit helps.  

Answer 2

Yes; they will rig the ballot just like in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.

And then they always have the Supreme Court...duck hunting Scalia will lead the charge.

Answer 3

The Dem's have to win Pennsylvania to win the white house and Obama is not that popular in my state, because we will elect a Democrat but Socialist are another issue entirely

Answer 4

McCain will win. Kerry was leading in the polls too. The silent majority will vote for McCain.
