RNC Political Director Rick Wiley released this statement today. Republican insiders are very confident going into the election tomorrow.
The Obama camp has been firing off a number of memos in desperate attempt to convince the media (and themselves) that they’re not losing. What they aren’t telling you is this isn’t 2008; the numbers show we’re doing much better in early voting, and they are doing much worse.
But more importantly we are poised to blow the Obama campaign out on Election Day thanks to a superior GOTV program and a historical GOP Election Day advantage
In the four party-registration states (Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada), we are poised to win the Election Day vote by even greater margins than we did in 2008. That’s right, Jeremy Bird, we beat you on Election Day even in 2008.
And in Ohio, Republicans have 368,000 more high-propensity voters available than Democrats–72 percent more, in fact–and enough to off-set the Obama campaign’s most optimistic (and unrealistic) early vote math.
So, when you add it all up, the Democrats’ early vote advantage just isn’t big enough. Republicans will come out ahead, and Mitt Romney will claim victory. And our superior ground game will ensure that the margin of victory is even greater than these numbers would suggest.
The Obama campaign’s superior ground game is a myth. They claim they have double and triple the people and offices across the country, yet poll after poll has shown voters have been contacted equally if not more by the Romney campaign and the Republicans. It goes to show you what big government bureaucracy gets you.
I’m glad Democrats are so eager to talk about their ground game. The more they talk, the more they prove the numbers don’t add up.
It’s (ground) game over.

I firmly believe Silver is just a leftist prop whose sole function is to keep the dem base thinking positive enough to show up. I can’t see any other explanation other than he just WANTS it to be true...which I suppose is possible.
I also think dem operatives are propping up intrade and other election markets because they think it is an “inevitability” indicator.
Team Obama mapped this all out early, thinking they would be swamping Romney as a Wall Street Michael Douglas shark and all these little things would add up to a wave.
Now that THIS reality has occurred, these look like minor, silly things...but I still think they were planned.
Earlier I saw someone post something about Marco Rubio being depressed on Special Report...insinuating that Ohio was lost.
Can someone verify whether such a thing happened??
Watching him on Hannity right now. He doesn’t look sad in the least LOL!
Geeez....take a blood pressure pill or something.
Yes, it's important to make sure you get yourself and anyone else you can get, to the polls tomorrow, but this is it. The game is done. The vote is tomorrow.
99.9% of those who are committed to voting in tomorrow's election, will do so. Those who aren't, probably won't be swayed by any amount of pleading, or hair-on-fire histrionics.
I wonder if Sweeney Todd will be available to shave off Axelrod’s moustache? (Just joshing...don’t want secret service paying me a visit...sigh.)
Heh...desperation would be if Romney were in Texas campaigning. OH is a bit like a 'demilitarized zone', while PA has been widely considered to be 'safe' Democrat territory.
The fact that Mitt is aggressively campaigning in both states, is a sign of a healthy, robust, and winning campaign.
No, Romney is advancing and taking ground, while Obama is falling back and desperately trying to defend formerly won territory.
I just saw Nate Silver's prediction, and I'm sure he gave odds of 86% for an Obama win, which is still pie-in-the-sky ridiculous. He's literally tossed his reputation like a Hail Mary pass in a losing game.
His tweet said 91%. Ive offered to bet him using his odds, never a response though. He demanded an even money bet from Joe Scarborough.

Well, I didn't see Nate Silver's tweet, but I did see this article posted at FR:
NATE SILVER: Obama's Odds Of Winning Have Now Hit An Overwhelming 86%
If he's now upped it to 91%, he's beyond delusional. It's time for the rubber room.
He’s hedging a bit now “91% chance doesn’t mean landslide!”
Hilarious! It's gonna be a great day.
Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’, boy...
