“This is not only winnable, but it’s winnable in a landslide with the kinds of numbers I’m seeing.”
I can’t believe Obama is still the Dem candidate; there are not enough sexual deviants and government workers to re-elect him, and NOBODY ELSE has any reason to vote for him. While blacks, Hispanics, and women benefit from government-mandated affirmative action, that only comes into play when jobs are available; those groups (like everyone else) have fallen behind in the last four years.
Unfortunately, in this day & age of 24-hour cable news, nobody can come right out and say Obama doesn’t have a prayer of winning. I see the “official” list of swing states, and assume they are safely in Romney’s column; as a resident of NJ, I assure you NJ is in play - there are simply too many foreclosures, layoffs (including thousands of government workers), and shuttered businesses to ignore.
I really would like to believe NJ is in play, but we’ve heard that in 2000 and 2004. I do think that other potential teasers MI and WI really are in play this time around.
