They MUST win OH, but we have lots of paths to 270 that don't include OH.

They want that state more than anything. I want them to lose that and know all evening that he has close to zero chance of winning. They are so crooked that I could see them stealing Florida and Ohio. Although I despise my governor (VA) I do not think he would go as far as the Gov of Florida and SOS in Ohio. I could be wrong. They are desperate to get Obama out of the White House.

This is just more of the desperate bluster of a party that knows it's in for a serious whipping.

Jesus, of course he is going to say that. All politicians play confident at this time.

People need to taking chill pills here. We have all kinds of poll data showing the state of the rest, but your going to ignore that because Bonehead seems confident. Give it a rest.

Also, the poster has four posts total and two of them are this same thing. I am guessing his other two are also this same story.

Further, the Romney link is not readable and the facebook link is a promotion for facebook. I see one of his spam posts was hidden - perhaps MIRT is discussing and will deal with him.

I saw the same interview. He can't very well say "Well we are behind but I think somehow we'll pull it off."

But note he did say the only poll that counts is the one on election day. That means he is acknowledging that an analysis of the polls shows them behind. If there is hard evidence in the polls that they were winning he'd mention it.
