Free Republic's Security Blanket: Washington Examiner Predicts Large Romney Win [View all]

I put on a hazmat suit and ventured over to the free republic (and the site was actually working!) and our friends over there have coalesced around an article from the washington examiner, where some old white guy named Michael Barone, predicts that Romney won't just win but he will win in an epic upset. Why, you might ask? Fundamentals! What fundamentals? Well its hard to say but Romney's got 'em!

Yes, this drivel from an ultra right wing, free newspaper that most people have never heard of, says that Romney will win. Just because. The details are as to how or why are unimportant.

And this is what the good people at the free republic are wrapping themselves up tightly in tonight. Not the state polls, which show a large obama advantage, or the national polls, which show obama with a small but solid lead, and not the experts, that say Obama is on the eve of winning a second term. NO! Romney is going to win because, you know, fundamentals
