SS33, I'm willing to give you an additional 5% warpath friend discount.

How's things, I hope you're doing well. I've been crushed with work and some other stuff, everything's good tho. Got a break this evening and was thinking about our wager. Did a quick search to find this...LOL. I'm still all-in, no buy-back for me.

Here's what will be Obama's undoing in Nov. more than jobs, economy, or whatever else comes up....his HHS mandate. It's a direct attack on the Catholic Church and religious freedom in the U.S. Two good articles on the issue:

Obama alienates electorally important Catholic voters - The Washington Post

The Audacity of Power: President Obama Vs. The Catholic Church - Forbes

The Catholic Church cuts across the entire political-socio-economic spectrum moreso than any other religious institution in the U.S. Obama carried the Catholic vote in 2008, he won't in 2012 because of the HHS mandate. There are 65M Catholics in the U.S., if this issue causes just 10% to swing....Obama is finished and it won't be close. Watch for the Stand Up for Religious Freedom rallies on June 8, I expect the turn-out will be strong. I'm sure other Catholics here can attest that they've never seen the Church mobilize so forcefully against a political issue before.
