One repuke pundit after another are making landslide romney predictions:

Can't wait to (hopefully) see egg all over their faces. George Will has predicted 321 to 217 evs. Michael Barone is predicting 315 for mittwit and 223 for the President. There are others but Barone and Will have really gone out on a creaky limb.

Is that they are the ones with the power. They know things and they control the levers (literally and figuratively).

It could end up being so simply because they say it will be, and because it's close enough that they can make it so.

The vote no campaign is very well organized and the latest poll gives them a one point lead. Also in MN, under votes count as no votes against constitutional amendments, which I hope will help us defeat the Voter ID amendment.

Nov 2012

Assuming he gets Iowa and Wisconsin, the President wins if he gets:
New Hampshire; Pennsylvania; Ohio
or
New Hampshire; Pennsylvania; Virginia
or
New Hampshire; Pennsylvania; Nevada; Colorado

In other words, he has a viable chance even if the Repukes botch the vote in Ohio and Florida.

The key people are in place and ready to act for him in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Iowa and other places.

If they all decide to commit treason, the pundits could claim victory.

are setting up is the anger. By pushing the lie that rMoney is going to win by a landslide will cause some truly despicable acts by the right in the aftermath. They will view the election as stolen right out from underneath them. The question is will this propoganda result in armed violence or mis-spelled protest signs.
