Losing he is, on his own path. It is surprising that Romney, being a strict statistical man, can not calculate his to fast to reply to events before he knows the facts. It makes it obvious that he is being an opportunist.
He could still stand a chance if he would relax and get to the point of his plans. But he will not.
His first mistake was his VP pick in Ryan that cost him the swing state of Florida. There is no way to sugar coat messing with medicare.
Second mistake was a double in not defining his plans at the convention that was taken care of by the Democrats.
This cost him swing states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin. This was helped greatly by the “secretary of explaining stuff”, Bill Clinton.
Game Over !
With the 47% remarks Romney just made, even though they were made back in May, allow even the President to put his foot in his mouth a time or two and still have captured the undecided voters in the key swing states. The President would have to bomb the debates for this to change.
The President will win with over 330 electoral votes.
Oh… there is always that possibility that some world event will make the President look really bad but it has not happened so far in his term and so I’m doubtful.
It’s unlikely a politician that makes all his plans from stats can win a debate. Debates are won on simple policy and one liners to back them up. Ask Reagan.
The challenge for the democrats now is to even the numbers up in congress and I think you will see them move that way after the first debate.
