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 Scarboroughs 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 Romneys shoes than Barack Obamas. 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 evidencefrom crowd sizes to each sides closing argumentsgive 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 Americas 45th president. Lets 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 ABCs This Week, predicting a 321-217 landslide that included nearly every swing state including Minnesota.

It makes it all the better by the fact that NONE of them were living in reality either. FAR from it.

saw a picture or video of the big crowds they bragged about.

They were trying to spin the public perception.

(15,682 posts)14. Yes, but I'd heard
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.

They ignored all the polls and were making up silly predictions of a Romney landslide.
