One data point is not a significant basis on which to draw any meaningful conclusions.
By that logic then Reagan would have had no shot in 1980, because the *gasp* trend of 1976 as a sharp decline from 1972.
Now is the job in front of Romney/Ryan hard? Of course it is. I have no illusions about how difficult winning this election is going to be. Simply because the number of people on the government feeding trough continues to grow. This might be the last chance to stop it, because if Obama is elected, the looters and parasites will become an ensconced majority by 2016.
This is why anyone who is sitting out of this election because Romney is “only the lesser or two evils* is nuts.
Don’t leap to an inference I didn’t make ~ I didn’t say Romney would lose ~ I said this campaign is actually a lot tougher than he and his running dog lackeys imagined ~ they’re just now figuring out what a 10 million vote advantage means.
