It's fun to say stuff like that, but it's ridiculous. Obama is a heavy favorite to win. Go read Nate Silver's FiveThrityEight blog at the NY Times. Right now his model gives Romney only a 24% chance of winning.

Go look at the polls, even the Rasmussan polls. Romney's behind in Ohio, Virginia and Florida. Those are must win states, particularly Florida.

The polls, when averaged, have a very good track record. Google it and you can find a PhD mathematician who did a paper on the topic. They were off by 1.3% in favor of Obama last time. (Rasmussan and Pew were the best, virtually right on). That's in the time right before the election.

So, sure, stuff can change between now and November, but there is no way that Team Obama thinks they are going to lose. And, quite a few people on Team Romney understand it's a very uphill fight for him to beat Obama.

I am hoping that 0bama’s post-presidential home is Leavenworth, Kansas.
