“The truth is that too many of you actually believe that this election is going to be a blowout... it will be razor thin and it is razor thin at this time.”

Good call.

I made some comments about this in another thread yesterday:

One doesn’t need to be a pessimist to comprehend that Romney has an uphill fight to win Michigan, which has become a “reliable blue” state.

If Obama is truly at about 48% to Romney’s 45%, that leaves 7% between them. Assuming the “undecided” 7% breaks 2-to-1 for Romney, that gives Obama an additional 2.3%.

Perhaps something yet, an “unknown unknown” (to borrow a phrase from Donald Rumsfeld) will shake up the electorate and re-roll the dice. But unless that happens, it looks like Mr. Romney may “get close” in Michigan, but miss the cigar...

I think that romney will lose the general election if they coronate him in Tampa. In a year that should be a blowout for the gop... we have boehner refusing to play tough with obamacare funding and he pledged yesterday to fully fund EVERYTHING in the budget... we have cornhole cornyn demanding that the base accept amnesty and gay marriage in the spirit of the big tent... you know... the gay colored rainbow one that the gop now calls its home... and we have the absolute worst candidate to be nominated in my lifetime... and THAT is why this election will be razor thin... and it will be... either way it goes. It did not have to be this way... but that is today's gop to a “T”.
