Read this slowly: A prison inmate from Texas just won 40% of the votes in the West Virginia Democrat primary against Obama without having any campaign in West Virginia.
Indiana voted 61 to 39 in the Indiana Republican primary for the Tea Party candidate to replace Chuck Lugar who has been a friend/compromiser to Obama and Democrats.
North Carolina just voted 61% to join 30 other states in defining marriage as between one man and one woman … and eliminate any other types of “unions,” “contracts,” or definitions that dilute that definition. California voted the same in 2008. Conservative states on this issue outnumber the liberal states by 30 to 20.
In the Democrat primary election in North Carolina, 21% of the votes were cast for “other” on the ballot against Obama.
The Wisconsin primary to select a candidate to run against Scott Walker in the June recall election just elected the same person who lost to Walker in the last election by 6 points. This candidate is the mayor of Madison and is not the candidate who was the choice of the teacher’s union who instigated the recall. The unions lost in their own primary. The total votes for all the Democrats in this primary election were less than the votes received by Walker.
Hmmmm. In each of these cases, the media polls like CNN/Gallup/USA Today predicted outcomes that were much more favorable to Democrats and Obama. Only Rasmussen picked all of them correctly. Rasmussen now says that Romney leads Obama 49 to 44 and that Romney leads Obama in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Wisconsin, and Ohio even though Obama won all 5 of them in 2008.
My prediction: In August, Hillary will be named to replace either Obama or Biden. Then Romney will announce Rubio as his running mate. Check mate. Obama won 75% of the Latino vote and 55% of the Catholic vote (40% of all voters) in 2008. Right now, Rasmussen says that Catholic voters are split 49/49 between Obama and Romney and that Rubio will take a third of the Latino vote from Obama. Rubio and Cardinal Dolan are going to help Romney defeat Obama. Do the math. All of this spells a disaster for Obama. Hillary is the only hope for Democrats.
