“I’ve never seen an election like this. The ads on TV and radio are nonstop. And no one seems to care.”

Especially towards the end.
Your analysis is good and premises are solid. I disagree with your conclusion. Hussein won in 08 because the mushy middle broke heavily his way. The gop e in its infinite stupidity decided that what they needed was someone to stake out the middle and appeal to it. Right strategy, wrong election.
I expect more of a normal course this time with the mushy middle basically splitting like it usually does if it shows up at all. That leaves the respective bases to decide it. Husseins base is disspirited. Willards base is well beyond that. When it comes down to actually voting for willard I expect that a lot of conservatives will be otherwise occupied, will leave that space blank, or like myself will vote for a 3rd party.
I don’t think its going to even be close.
