I think the race is essentially tied. I think it all comes down to turnout and the few persuadable undecideds. I think the majority of undecideds will go Repub, so if the Democrat turnout is lower in the battleground states, Obama should lose. All bets are off if Romney gets clobbered in the debates.
Well the MSM is going to do everything within their power to make Romney look bad in the debates. I hope he is prepping w/ that in mind. Actually, I fully expect obama to be given the questions in advance so his answers will flow instead of that stumbling, bumbling act he typically displays when speaking off the cuff.
