MSM are so addicted to the idea this will be a close race they are in total panic of the campaign of the worst politician to be nominated for President by a major party. Now they are pinning their hopes on the debates as if no one has ever heard of Mitt Romney. The American voting public is stupid but just maybe not that stupid.

"More voters want to have a beer with him than Al?"
"W likes to give nicknames?"
