I have an alternate hypothesis. It fits together with something Sarah Palin who is not prone to hyperbole alluded to, says a major story is about to break. I think Obama is throwing the election on purpose. I can see him taking a dive in the 2 and 3rd debates, not obvious but will leave the MSM saying he won anyway. We know they will say he won, be prepared for it, the phony bump in the polls, the Newsweek cover. Obama will not run with that but slog along and lose respectfully on the first Tuesday after the first Monday on November. This is his plea bargain, to lose in a not so obvious way. I am sure there are many staffers who have resumes cobbled and resignation letters ready but Team Obama has told them they will not resign, if they try they will be destroyed. Ex staffers talk...

Still calling blowout maybe 350+ electoral votes for Romney, throw in a few surprises like Michigan, NM, Pa, Wisconsin and maybe a surprise NE state like Maine.

Not as long as there's a single Libyan city left un-bombed or a single Executive Order left un-issued (student loan forgiveness,anyone?).

Still calling blowout maybe 350+ electoral votes for Romney...

Hate to say this but you're delusional.Yes,it's distinctly possible that Romney will win but if he does it will be by a whisker...Electoral Vote-wise,at least.

While I can’t fault your hypothesis for credibility, I do disagree.

I can not see doyens that posit such inept excuses and rationalizations operating with that degree of subtlety and stoic resignation.

I boil all that down to he sometimes just doesn’t have his heart in it.

He sees the future and it is bleak. He see’s no way to successfully proceed within the shackles of liberal/marxist dogma. With a Republican House and the possibility of a Republican Senate, he can do nothing.

He is literally between a rock and a hard place.
