From 11/4/2012 The Blaze: Romney Landslide

Romney Landslide: Here Are the Biggest Names Predicting It & How It Will Happen

1. CNBC Anchor Larry Kudlow

Kudlow said on his CNBC show “The Kudlow Report” on Oct. 25: ”I am now predicting a 330 vote electoral landslide.”

2. MSNBC Host Joe Scarborough

Based on Scarborough’s insights on Politico:

“But my gut tells me there are two likely scenarios: (1) President Obama will squeak out a narrow Electoral College victory or (2) Mitt Romney will carry Ohio and be swept into office by a comfortable margin.

After practicing politics for 20 years, I suppose I would rather be in Mitt Romney’s shoes than Barack Obama’s. Incumbents who are under 50 percent two weeks out usually go down to defeat.”

3. Strategist Karl Rove

Rove said Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal:

“In addition to the data, the anecdotal and intangible evidence–from crowd sizes to each side’s closing arguments–give the sense that the odds favor Mr. Romney. They do. My prediction: Sometime after the cock crows on the morning of Nov. 7, Mitt Romney will be declared America’s 45th president. Let’s call it 51%-48%, with Mr. Romney carrying at least 279 Electoral College votes, probably more.”

4. Columnist George Will

George Will outlined a huge Romney Election Day in an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” predicting a 321-217 landslide that included nearly every swing state including Minnesota.

that those millions of adoring fans played a large role in romney's delusion of actually thinking he was going to win. What, was that a psychotic episode where he really thought the masses were there for him? I just honestly don't understand.
