Even if Romney takes Florida and Virginia handily, Obama only has to win Ohio and Wisconsin by a razor thin margin in the Dem heavy population centers.
And regardless whether it’s 49-47 or 45-49, the fact is that there are roughly just as many people voting now who think the founders were evil white slaveowners, that corporations should all be eliminated and rich people should be “taxed until they bleed,” as there are people who actually believe in individualism, free markets, and God.
That is not a fact at all, but your interpretation of what people think.
We are still a center-right country, but Obama had people hoodwinked on hope.
