Driving around in the wee hours of the night to get a little relief from the oppressive heat pounding down on us here in the Mid West,I heard a professional predictor say that Mitt Romney will be the next president...
I was listening to the guy who took over for Art Bell. It's been a while since I listen to AM radio for something other than a ball game. But I just want to cruise around the farmlands that start a mile or two out passed my home and listen to some crazy.
Well, sandwiched between Brad and Anjolie adopted ANOTHER child, them secretly tying the knot and some danger to the mid west about a meteorite, she dropped the bombshell that Mitt would win in 2012. She said she hopes she is wrong because she likes president Obama, but the small increase in economic activity starting in January of '12 would not be enough to save hs presidency.
Oh well, he had a good run...

1. yep, heard that and turned off the radio |
|
I recall one of the professional predictors saying Hillary Clinton was certain to be the next President on that show prior to 2008 too.

2. Yeah and those same predictors said McCain and Palin would win. |
|
They like to pretend.
Obama is going to win the election unless the Dancing Supremes overturn the people's vote again. I can see a situation where the once respected Supreme Court is called in to come to the rescue of the RepubliCONS after the votes are counted.

3. McCain and Palin were dead locks to win until the October crash |
|
That's when their campaign crashed with it.
I know it's unpopular here, but Obama was so far behind that until McCain "suspended his campaign" to "deal with the immediate crisis", there was no way he would recover.

That's so long ago I don't remember - I do recall being very anxious until they called Obama the winner.

8. Nate Silver wasn't anxious |
|
Everyone I knew in Colorado that is independent collectively fled from McCain at that point.
If you can get the tracking polls from 2008 watch for the big jump--that's the economic meltdown and McCain's fumble.

4. On a supermarket run last night I heard Hannity say the same thing |
|
Apparently there was some poll that not only had Romney winning but "if you look state by state it is a landslide" for Romney - Hannity said.
I did a quick search when I got home and there is a poll that has Obama 49 - Romney 47 with independents undecided but in "battleground states" Obama is up 10-15 points across the board. The article mentioned that Tea Baggers are heavily into the race already - which I think was an admission that they were over represented.
