He can't really think he'll make it to the White House, can he?

[Stinky The Clown]

I mean, deep down inside. Mitt can't be that unaware.

Can he?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. I doubt that he allows himself to even think that way...

If he did, it would likely paralyze him.

[cyberswede]

2. I think he's arrogant enough to think so. nt

[Stuart G]

5. I agree..totally arrogant. nt

[cheapdate]

3. He absolutely is that unaware.

His background as a corporate raider will be completely toxic. It will kill him as a candidate.

[southernyankeebelle]

4. Uncle Mitty forgets Bush end of terror reign.

[jberryhill]

6. You can't win if you don't play

Bill Clinton threw his hat in the ring when GHW Bush was considered "safe" as a consequence of the Gulf War.

Stuff happens. Some crazy event can knock the earth off its axis with unpredictable results.

[demtenjeep]

7. yes, they (gop) have NO self-awareness

they think they are above all of us mediocre people and everyone should believe what they say

[RoccoR5955]

8. The job cremator

lives in a delusional world. Of course he believes he can win. He believes in a talking snake, doesn't he?

[Autumn]

9. Can he? Look at Bush, I knew there was no way in hell

he would make it to the White House. Well guess what? Well guess what? The fucking idiot son made it to the White House. I knew there was no way in Gods hell he would get a second term. Well guess what? The fucking idiot son got a second term. So do I think Mitt can make it to the White House? You bet your ass I think he can.

13. It all depends on who's counting the votes n/t

[Autumn]

16. Exactly. And who is counting the votes?

No change there.

[dflprincess]

18. You said it

Maybe if this election gets stolen the Democrats will finally speak up (I can dream). Though I would bet it won't be quite so obvious this time.

[Greywing]

10. I think he does

and I am beginning to despair ... These conservatives are such liars and people actually believe them. Someone give me some hope that there is still a silent majority out there that will not fall for the lies and the hate-filled speeches ....

[Raine]

11. Yes, he's delussional

so he really believes he will.

[MoonRiver]

12. Yes,he thinks that.

They all do.

[Fire Walk With Me]

14. People who are unaware of their bad actions are dangerous

because they know of no reason to cease, much less that they are having any effect upon others.

Dangerous because they are un-self-regulated.

[joshcryer]

15. He's counting on liberal / progressive factionalization handing it to him.

[Bobbie Jo]

17. It's his TURN!

That, and he's managed to buy his way through life.

Yeah....he believes.

[dawg]

19. We're the delusional ones if we think it can't happen.

I put his chances at 40%. This is not a well-informed country.

If Europe's recession catches hold here, we could be in real trouble.

[RZM]

20. A lot of pubs think Obama is damaged goods and vulnerable to a challenge

Romney is certainly one of them. Check out what they are saying. They are more optimistic about November than you might think.

Obama sailed in 2008 for three reasons:

1) It was a big Democratic year after two terms of Bush
2) He was a blank slate
3) His opponent was a has-been who wasn't really willing to take the gloves off

This time, it's not going to be as big a Democratic year, he's no longer a blank slate, and while his opponent isn't going to exactly be beloved by the right, he's not a has-been and might be persuaded to take the gloves off.

21. I'm sure he knows that Diebold has his back, and will make up any votes he comes

up short on. If not that, then the Roberts' court will cover him.
