Michael Barone knows every district and precinct in the country. If he says Romney wins, I would bet on him.
Agree. You can see how careful he is on election nights not to make wild statements or calls
I remember Barone on Fox on Election Night 2004 working the Ohio numbers county-by-county (maybe even town-by-town) and telling us it was over for Kerry well before the state was called.
On that level of nitty-gritty numbers-crunching, I would trust Barone over anyone else.
