“He is absolutely kicking butt against an incumbent “
Disagree.
Romney has run a lame campaign. He will not win this based on his campaign.
Zero can lose this, but there is nothing about Romney’s “I’ll Model Dewey’s Campaign” that will win it.
This campaign will turn on whether Zero can make the election about something other than his own performance.
If he does, he will win. If he can’t, he will lose it.
Just plain silly.
