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.
I actually agreed with Juan Williams on the Five last night. The big story was how the left reacted. They were not prepared for O to fail. They actually reacted negatively towards him. Next time they will be prepared for O to fail and will be better prepared to cover for him. Their reaction will be more controlled.
