I want to believe that, too. There`s always a chance of some kind of unforeseen disaster or scandal that`ll bottle up 0bama.

With that, along with four nearly flawless debate performances by Romney and Ryan, and historically high turnout among GOP and conservative voters on election day, Romney still has a chance.

Don't count on that. Obama could be caught holding up a bank and the lib media would say it's being taken out of context.

Add the lapdog protection with the fact that he is our first black POTUS, whereas voters have set a very low bar (basically grading him on a scale). And there are your reasons for a bum like this polling in the mid to high 40s. Any other incumbent would be in the low 30s - at best.
