I sure hope you are right, and I mean no offense but blind optimism — either on the part of posters here or those “geniuses” who run campaigns — is no substitute for some reality.
The reality is that it cannot possibly be even the slightest bit true that all the states R/R *need* to win are locked up so securely that they can fritter away any time or money on a totally irrelevant state like Minnesota.
I hope that a few days from now we are all saying “President-elect Romney’s campaign guys sure were smart — who knew we could win Minnesota and get to 350 electoral votes!”
Instead it’s way more likely that we’ll be saying “What were those idiots smoking? We still lost MN by 5 points and one appearance by Ryan in Virginia or Ohio might have helped us win there, instead of losing by one point. And now we’re stuck with 4 more years of disaster.”
The Romney Campaign is confident they have FL, NC and VA secured.
Now they’re looking to go on the offensive against the enemy, in his own territory. I’d love to do to Obama what Obama did to IN, VA and NC in 2008.
Payback will be sweet! There is no reason to concede Obama anything! He needs to be finished off. And as Gen. Patton famously said: “Americans are not quitters. They like winners. Its our national sport.”
And like Col. Hannibal said on The “A Team”: “I love it when a plan comes together.”
We got a great plan here and its time to carry it out and make sure O goes down!
