I think you nailed it perfectly, Longbow. Election 2012 is likely to be a much closer, much more hardly fought race than any of us would like to admit. We aren’t going to see an 1980-esque blowout. The demographics just aren’t there in 2012, and there’s no John Anderson (as yet) in this race.
IMHO, it’s all going to come down to Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Whoever can take at least 2 of those 3 states in 2012 will be President in 2013.
er harder, not hardly (D’OH!)
