Barack Obama and his advisers are super confident that they will win in 2012. As a Conservative it twists my stomach to admit they are right. The Obama Regime is the most formidable election machine ever assembled.  Unlike the GOP, which gets into culture wars, they embrace the popular culture and use it to their advantage. This makes people who may not like Obama’s policies like him personally. The Democrats also know how to play the demographics game and the GOP refuses to do this. The result is huge swatch of the electorate don’t hear the Conservative message and end up believing the Democrats and their lies.

Let’s look at the opinion polls. Two week ago Conservatives were crowing that Obama’s poll average was lower than Jimmy Carter at this point in his Presidency. His average approval for the week of 12/3 was 51.4% disapproval to 41% approve. Now it’s 48.2% disapprove to 45.2% approve. I have pointed out all year that Obama may dip down to the low 40’s but he always bounces back up. Clearly this is due to American voters liking him as a person.

The RNC recently told it’s surrogates and allies to not go after Obama the person. This is a huge mistake since the only way to defeat Obama is to tear him down as a human being the way Progressive did Bush. Then his policy failures will catch up with him and sink his Presidency. The fact that the GOP refuses to fight and the other factors I have mentioned previously is why the Obama Regime is very confident about 2012.

President Obama will win a second term because of his incumbency and his political track record, not in spite of those facts, his campaign team told reporters Tuesday.

While the president’s critics predict that a weak economy and voter disappointment in Obama — after 2008’s sky-high expectations — will prove his undoing, his campaign strategists arrived in Washington this week ready to explain why they see the election landscape so differently.

Although Newt Gingrich currently leads the Republican primary field in Iowa, South Carolina and Florida, according to recent polls, Mitt Romney attracted most of the campaign experts’ barbs and brickbats.

Using bullet points, calendars, maps and measures of nearly every campaign activity to date, message-shaper David Axelrod and campaign manager Jim Messina described how they believe Obama “will win” in 2012. Here are 10 of their arguments:

1) The Republican presidential candidates are “simply not in the mainstream on so many issues,” Obama’s campaign team asserted. On the economy, the GOP contenders share the “same vision, basically, which is that we pull up the drawbridge, cut everything, and hope for the best,” Axelrod said. “Whether it’s Newt or any of the other Republicans who are parroting the same position, they all embrace the same trickle-down theory that governed the policies of the last decade; that governed the same policies in the 1920s, that led to disaster,” he said.

I can’t emphasize this enough. We are dealing not with a politician here. We are dealing with a cult leader. There is a quasi religious aspect to Barack Hussein Obama.  He has a hold on a large segement of the population. Even if they disagree with the policies of the Regime they want him to succeeed. The only way to change that is to attack Obama the person. Once that occurs he will lose his cool and his semi-divinity mask will be gone. Then he’s a normal polictian.

Personally I think the GOP needs a huge change. The Progressives running the party should be removed. They also should hire a PR firm to improve their image with the public. It’s too late in the Presidential cycle for this and that’s why I think Obama unfortunately will win. The Progressives have built  a virtually unbeatable machine the last ten years. The GOP in its current form can’t take on this machine successfully. The Republican Party has bad leadership, bad messaging and is not offering a forward looking message. Hence the Regime’s confidence in their re-election. I wish I disagreed with their confidence but I can’t be intellectually dishonest and think otherwise.

I hope I am proven wrong.
