I don’t think it will be close either. We have to remember all the outfits in question and all the media are on the other side. Any other president at any other time of either party with the economy where it’s at, the discussion in all the media would have been how badly will he be defeated. Not with this guy.
I was told by older people that Carter acted in the same manner during the 1980 campaign; he was told months before that he was going to inevitably lose, but he put on a brave face and tried to help the others “down the ticket” from him.
I don’t know why people are so confident Obama can win; how many closed businesses, open businesses with no clients, houses for sale, etc. would it take for him to lose? There is every indication that he will lose based on the elections since his own, and those numbers don’t lie. They are facts.
