“So, Obama is on his way to re-election. Pitiful. I just can’t believe Americans would re-elect this guy.”
Romney has a small chance to win, but if he does, he will win with the thinnest of margins, especially in the electoral college. I predict 270-268 for Romney with a possibility that one Congressional district in either Maine or Nebraska will “split” (those are the two states that assign electoral votes by individual districts), giving Obama one additional vote and thus throwing the election into the House.
Then again, the good showing by Sherrod Brown in Ohio along with Obama’s strength there indicates that Ohio is going to be a very difficult win for Romney — and without Ohio, Romney loses.
You are overlooking something in your statement above that is going to become all-too-obvious by November. That is, America is no longer a “single, unified” nation, but instead has become “divided”; and the trend is toward even more division in the future. The divisions are so fundamental and wide that reconciliation no longer seems possible — hence the perception (on BOTH sides) that one side believes that what the other is doing is incomprehensible....
So far, we've been able to avoid that here.
So far.
