I think you can pick that up from the demeanor of the two campaigns.
Who looks confident, and who looks desperate? · 22 minutes ago
I hope you are right. I just play around with that electoral map on RCP, and even when I give Romney every state he should/must win (VA, NC, FL, CO, IA, even NH, etc) I am still stuck at 267. That means he's got to have one of WI, OH, MI, PA, or NV. And I just can't wrap my mind around a Republican winning any of those except Ohio, and Ohio is way too close for comfort.
The whole thing is close, and it shouldn't be--as others above have said. That's what's so vexing. Look, I couldn't stand Clinton, Gore, Kerry, or the Obama of 2008. But I could understand how the casual apolitical centrist undecided moderate could vote for them. This Obama, with this record...I just don't understand it. The 30% of the country that is hard left/liberal, I get. They're always going to vote for the Democrat. But this should be a 57/43 election.
