I remember the day before the 1980 election, the media was saying the race was “too close to call.”

I lived in California at the time, and the networks called the race for Reagan in the afternoon Pacific time, before I even got a chance to go and cast my vote. I showed up at the polls with a big smile on my face. One of the women running the polling place was pissed at the networks for calling the race before the polls closed. Carter conceded early.

It was Reagan 489 Electoral College votes, 49 for Carter.

I almost did cartwheels in the street.

Let’s face it. No Republican candidate is ever going to get anywhere close to Reagan’s electoral vote number. Maybe high 300’s to low 400’s but nothing higher. Plus to get these numbers the candidate would have to get anywhere from a seven to nine point lead in the popular vote.

Also be prepared for the networks not to call the election for Romney until the very end, even though he may be cruising to a relative easy victory.

And your prediction this election? Will you be doing cartwheels again?
