NO! Businessmen do not sell their customers what they don't want. This is the result that the MSM paid for. Just like the Battleground Poll is being misreported because of the stupid thing they did to publish the raw results first to show a 1 point lead for Obama, then the got to the real results that showed Romney +5 with likely voters and then went on to show very likely voters. I have seen Romney at 53 and 52 but Obama was solid 45. They had to give each side something to crow about to attain their creds with each side since Goas is a Republican and Lake is a Democrat.
What are the bragging rights? Even in the Democratic 2008 “wave” year - D advantage was +2 and O carried OH by five points.
No one seriously thinks either party will get +8. It doesn’t happen in the real world.
If they want to fool themselves into thinking Obama has OH in the bag, then their base will stay home thinking its over.
Nothing like complacency for them - they want to gin up Democratic turnout but it may just backfire.
