RNC chairman: Romney would win if election were today

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Mitt Romney would be elected president if the election were held today, the Republican National Committee's chairman boldly predicted Monday.

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus predicted a Romney victory based on projected wins in several swing states (polls of which are less definitively optimistic for Romney).

"I feel real good that if the election was held today, we’d be winning today. If the election is tied, we’re going to win the election," Priebus said during a press conference today kicking off the GOP’s "rapid response" effort during the Democratic National Convention.

>>Frankly I think he's lost his mind. The polls dont support that at all. Rinse Pubis is talking out of his sphincter again.

but he never refers to the fact that the Democratic party gets their turn.

It is like a team playing baseball and at the middle of the first inning saying that is the game ended now they would win. WELL DUH! the other team hasn't come up to bat yet.

You know the drill:
Restrict voter registration.
Put out distorted polls.
Voter suppression efforts.
Electronic ballot theft.
Exude confidence of winning throughout.
Have your media minions declare you the winner.

VOILA
