"We've got a horserace". "This election is tightening up." "This race will last all the way up to the closing of the last poll."
Um...yea.
Mitt Romney is: The comedian of confusion. He is a comical caricature of a credible candidate for the office of "Most Powerful Peep on Earth".
The only reason, the ONE and ONLY reason...this is a "horserace" is because of noted propagandists like FOX and Rush keeping the neocon base from imploding over having to vote for a member of the "Mormon Cult". The only reason Mitt has any legitimacy with so called moderates and independents is because the less noxious propagandists like Andrea Mitchell, David Gregory, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, and the bevy of "political commentators" like: Mark Halperin and Steve Schmidt and Chris CiSleaza make it absolutely clear that "the race is close" and "Obama really lost momentum with that debate performance."
The wholesale manufacture of reasons why Mitt is actually doing great is comical in itself. "The polls are skewed...see...we just started our own website called "unskewed" and our site shows that Mitt is kicking ass." "The WH is manipulating jobs numbers to influence voters." "Obama is a very angry black man...just take a look at this video that you've already seen in 2007...but notice how angry and black he was back then...he's even blacker and angrier now."
Mitt's own fluctuating personae should be enough to render him neutered Mitt. "I don't care about 47%, yet I find those 47% strangely attractive now that I realize I need them." "Why, I would never call for tax cuts for the rich and I'm appalled that you would accuse me of supporting my own plans without first consulting me, the challenger, as to my past, present and future positions." "How dare the President remove 716 billion dollars from a program I want to eliminate completely without getting rid of any of the parts of that program that people seem to like."
This is not a horserace. This is an invisible asskicking. On election night the illusion will be exposed as the curtain rises on a landslide.
The Romney/Ryan epitaph will read:
Here lies the immortal lies of the immoral minority. (Who were against the 100% before they were for them.)
Romney's concession speech will be short and stupid:
I just want to congratulate President Obama for winning despite being the worst candidate, the worst President in our history. I don't know why people didn't like me or Ann other than the angry blacks portrayed us angry whites who were out of touch with people who weren't worth millions of dollars. Despite our honest attempts at enacting Voter suppression, I mean voter ID laws, so that the dead black people who voted for Obama in 2008 couldn't vote for him again...we were surprisingly unsuccessful. I told every lie, promised every pony, and made as many ill-timed impulsive statements as possible to deflect my own positions or blame every problem on the President. I don't understand why it didn't work. I think the liberal media bias, conservative bias towards Mormons, and a general lack of dishonesty on the part of the President must have played a part. Please, don't hang your heads, I'll be running again in four years as a populist Democrat and I'll still have a lot of money.
