I was talking to a neighbor yesterday and he thinks the Obama campaign is in trouble and cites their pulling out of swing states and focusing on smaller states as evidence. -Not sure this is true or not? He also thought that their calling Romney names and using things like "Romnesia" was evidence that they are desperate. He said GW Bush did the same thing once he saw the election was out of reach. Regarding Obama getting "lucky", I agree but think that he would have been lucky no matter what. Reason being, the primary process was long and grueling for the GOP. Lets be honest here, if you look at Romney's political track record, he is NOT the Tea-Party totting radical he had to make himself out to be to get the nomination and enthuse his base. It's far more likely, imo, that he would be a rather moderate republican. Ryan on the other hand??
