'Romney in a landslide?'

[Domingo Tavella]

24. It is premature to say

that Romney will win in a landslide, but this is the direction things are headed, per the indicators that matter - unfortunately. The European economy is helping Romney enormously, and the billionaires have a good sense where to invest, that is why they become billionaires in the first place, and that is why they are flocking to Romney in ever-larger numbers.

Unless Obama supporters start donating very, very heavily, it won't be possible for Obama to withstand Romney's onslaught of negative ads. Unfortunately, outdoing the large number of billionaires willing to buy the election will be very hard if not impossible.

I know not many in this cite like to hear things like this, but being objective is important. When you have an election for sale where the outcome decides how much in taxes the super-rich will pay, coupled with the ignorance of the white working class who are not just racist, but also have no capacity for critical thinking, it is only a matter of few weeks before the tide turns against Obama. In betting markets, Obama was 60 to 40 just a month ago, now he is 52 to 48. Every news event has caused a further slide. There is a reason why the Republicans are smelling victory and why billionaires feel confident in their investment.
