I do not think this will be close, I might be deluding myself, but Jezus H. Christ, who besides the idiot teabagging white men and the 1% will vote for Rmoney?

(2,307 posts)I would prefer to be in a dead heat or even behind at this point rather than ahead. 13 points ahead will bring complacently. A dead heat or slightly behind brings urgency. Plus it is the electoral college which is what really matters. When I took political science in college I did a project showing possible ways a candidate could win a decent majority of the popular vote and still lose the election. It has been years, so I don't remember my exact combination, plus it took the "perfect storm" of winning or losing certain states by certain amounts but if I remember I showed that "theoretically" a candidate could win by 20% of the popular vote and still lose the election.
