The betting line was 66 to 33 today. Time’s running out for Romney. Start spending it in FL, OH, VA and WI. Here in NC it’s about 50/50 Romney Heusain as far as the ads, but lately I’m seeing an Obama counter ad to Romen’s China ad. Romney needs to run that Obama Distribution of wealth ad and the ad where his grandmother points to the hospital in Kenya and says that’s where he was born.
Yeah, intrade has hussein at 67.5 right now. I think that’s high, but it gives you an idea.
FWIW, I think team willard has hired some very bright folks. Very alinskyite, Machiavellian to the core. And I think they’re unleashing their form of blitzkrieg.
Example. An organizer with the willard campaign stopped by my house tonite. Didn’t want to talk to me, but my wife who actually considers herself a republican. We don’t have party registration in VA... and I voted in the gop primary. But I’m clearly not a willard supporter...and they weren’t interested in me. Smart. Don’t waste your time with the unwinnable votes, go for the winnable ones.
So he asked a few questions of my wife, asked her to volunteer, asked her to allow a lawn sign.
After I finally picked my jaw up off the ground, I realized that for the first time in my memory I had seen direct and incontrovertible evidence of a ground game by a gop presidential candidate in VA.
Why now? Why not 2 months ago? Because I think they’ve done their research and noted that it’s the last 45 days that matter.
