Report: Obama Campaign Considering Pre-Emptive Victory Claim Strike
2012-11-06
Best-selling Chicago-based author Brad Thor says he has been told that the Obama campaign is considering a move to demoralize Romney supporters early on Election Day.

Citing a "very solid source" in Chicago, Thor says the Obama campaign is looking to make it appear to voters that they have "this thing sewed up and are less than 24 hours to victory," according to his source.

Meanwhile, team Obama will also urge voters to get out and vote so they can say they were part of the important 2012 election that resulted in a second term for Obama.

While Thor can't reveal his source, he told TheBlaze multiple times that the source is very reliable.
The flip side of the coin, the author explained, is that the Obama campaign is counting on the mainstream media to drive home their narrative should they implement this strategy.


Does seem like the kind of thing President Revenge would consider? Does it seem like the kind of thing the mainstream media that remains in love with Obama would amplify? Yes, actually, it does.
Go ahead fuckhead. No seriously. People don't trust you anymore and a stunt like this, if you win, will completely ruin any and I mean ANY chance of bipartisanship (not that you cared in the first place). My bet is that this will backfire and really send the Romney voters into overdrive while Obama voters will say, "Cool" and go back to their bongs.

#2  ..Gore would have won if he'd taken his own home state. They knew better.

#1  The same strategy very nearly worked in 2000. Media called it for Gore when the polls were still open in the FL panhandle, which trends Republican. Result was that Republicans stayed home and FL was much closer than it should have been.

And if anyone still has doubts about the kind of people we are up against, the entire FL recount had nothing to do with counting ballots. The Dems knew they had lost on election night (Gore even conceded, if you recall). The recount mess was intended to prevent FL from certifying its results in time to participate in the electoral college. Without the FL numbers Gore would have won.
