Polls were up in 2004 and yet...Republicans were able to flip the vote in many places. It now looks as if they may be poised to do in November what they did so recently in Wisconsin.
The arrogance of Romney and the GOP may well rest on this. Their assumptions and public remarks fly in the face of facts and common sense yet they clearly expect to win, even as public polling has turned against them since the party conventions. With policy commitments made to suit their very wealthy backers it seems that they have far too much at stake to allow them not to take any and every advantage.
Whether they can guaranty how the vote counts will add up may be arguable here on the forum but some informed minds seem to have few doubts:
