how many states does perry win in this scenario?

[J. J.]

R: 389
D: 149

What hell this would be.

Two possibilities added and you can take out CA.

1.  Rubio is the VP candidate.

2.  Rubio appeals to voters of Mexican/Central American descent.

Even if the first occurs, the second may not.

Mods, please retitle this thread "jmfcst Wet Dream Scenario." I don't even want to know how many sheets he went through.

Well, consider Perry is ahead of Obama on Rasmussen, may they should change the thread to "Paul Kemp's Nightmare Scenario."

Rasmussen lol.

As much as I dislike Perry, I'd much rather he be elected than the scenario jmf laid out.

Paul Kemp, lol.

The 'bots are one of the better polls out there.  Much of their other numbers are in line with PPP and a bit better than Gallup.

you forgot to add "Obama replaces White House Chapel with Islamic Prayer Room" to your fantasy

I listed 3 things:
1) double dip UE 11 pc...
2) arab spring spawns several radical islamists states including Egypt..
3) NASA loses space station

3.  Nobody cares unless:

A.  It falls on them.

B.  They're nerds rabid pace enthusiasts.

2.  A minor loss overall, probably some greater erosion in the Jewish community, but not enough nationally.

1.  You could take out numbers 2 and 3 and this will still kill him.

I think you are wrong JJ, for even though it doesn't directly impact people's lives, it would be hugely symbolic, and a direct result, of the choices Obama has made in failing to secure America's position of leadership.

It is something nobody thinks about out there some place.  It is the International Space Station, not USA #1 Space Station, nor the Ronald Reagan Memorial Space Station.  The symbolism just isn't there for most people.

I think Americans will care that $150B spent by US taxpayers on the space station just burned up in the atmosphere simply because Obama wanted to save a couple of billion.  And now not only do we have no way to get into space, we now gots no where to go even if we hitched a ride with the Russians

I don't think anyone cares; the argument would be that we didn't need to spend that in the first place.  (I think that argument is wrong, but it would be made.)
