Go back to sleep - - - - You were having a bad dream.
I don't know how old you are but go back and review the Carter Reelection attempt. Carter was ahead in most polls right up to the election.
Reagan wasn't loved by all Republicans when he won the nomination.
Reagan won in a LARGE landslide, because Carter was almost as bad as ZERO.
Look for a repeat even with Romney.
I guarantee IT! ! ! ! ! !

Awesome. And what backs your guarantee?
A single cash payment would be nice.
Bishop Romney will not be the next POTUS.
It's a very different world today than it was in 1980, though. Two threads, the first sociological. The welfare state has expanded exponentially in 32 years; we're now on our second, and in some cases, third generation of people who live off the kindness of the state. The demographic numbers favor these people, and they ain't voting for any cat who preaches bootstraps, austerity, and individual freedoms.
The second thread: The media. The media is far more heavily invested in Obama's narrative than they were in Carter's narrative. They aren't going to let America's first Affirmative Action president take it on the chin, and let's face it - they control the story. Obama's going to have a tremendous advantage here.
I hope and pray you’re right, V.
