"Has President Obama swept MItt Romney away?" - politico, Roger Simon

snip

If the Democrats can maintain the enthusiasm for three days that we have seen thus far in their convention, Mitt Romney will have a serious problem in attaining the presidency. He will need at least three things:

3. An effective voter suppression campaign to keep minorities and young people from casting their ballots.

Did you read #3? He lists it as if it is not a (near) criminal offense....

anyway - worth a read. If Politico is starting to raise the white flag......
