Hopefully I've just got the jitters. It's not as if I'm any good at prognosicating. I was 100% positive that Mondale had a lock in '84 and Reagan went on to win 49 states. Jitters, I tells ya.
Big difference. In 1996 the Clinton media was out there screaming day in and day out how Clinton had single handedly turned the economy around. The economy was in fact improving in 1996 and a lot of voters said “Well let not rock the boat now that things are getting better.
In 2012 there is nothing for the media to point to and claim Obama is making things better. Across the board Americans are worse off after 4 years of Obama economics.
That is why they spend all day every day pushing the Romney attacks. They absolutely have to keep the focus off Obama’s epic failure as President. All that is left for the Obama propaganda machine is to try and distract and divert the people off the facts.
One other thing, remember Perot was a spoiler for Clinton in 1996
No third party candidate in this election is coming anywhere near pulling the sort of votes Perot did.
Clinton was popular in 1994 and the economy was ‘rockin’ as well. Completely different dynamic than today...
