I stand corrected! (I.S.C. as hubby says...not too often!).
I actually remember Tom Foley getting voted out on his ear after he opposed term limits, I thought that was great. Of course I also thought it kind of demonstrated why you don’t really need term limits you can just, you know, throw the bums out on a regular basis.
I do think we should have a system of no pensions or other post office benefits for any elected official, that would probably do well enough to limit terms in office.
It’s easier for Obama because he has 57 states from which to win them.
The AP “analysis” overlooks the fact that Obama’s hard ceiling is 47% and he is unlikely to win a single swing state with that kind of number - which matches his approval rating to a T.
For AP to be right, O has to crack 50% and then run the table. I don’t see that happening. Its MSM wishful thinking at this point and they want to protect their investment in the One.
And they need people to think he could defy the polls and do what Harry Truman did to Tom Dewey in 1948. Though if there is movement towards O - we’ll only see it happen in the last 48 hours of this election.
But its more likely late undecideds break for the challenger than for the incumbent.
Even Nate Silver has already given Florida and North Carolina up.
