If Rassmussen is correct and:

If half of those “preferring some other candidate” hold their collective noses and vote for Romney, half of the undecided do so likewise, and that 65% of whites all vote with intensity against Obama (as they likely will) Obama will lose in the largest defeat in Presidential electoral history. And I would imagine that such as loss would wipe out any Democratic Party hopes for Congress. And if Romney wins, turns this thing around in a notable way..we may never see another “progressive” run for office and win..except maybe in San Francisco.

I would love to see this, but I don't think we can get to a Reagan era landslide no matter what for three big reasons: CA, IL, and NY. However, I do think it's possible---and trending likely, that Romney will not only win all of the Bush states from 04, but add NH, WI, MI, and maybe one NE state. I still think PA and MD are lost causes, but would love to be wrong.

All that said, it's absolutely incredible for Romney to be where he is, given the blatant support of the drive by media for ZEro

It’d be rather difficult to top that smackdown Reagan gave to Mondale in 1984, especially considering the hardened ideologies of a nation that’s far more divided... but a trouncing could still occur if all the factors fall into place.
