CNN contributor/wingnut Erick Erickson is having a meltdown over the thought of Mitt losing

Erick Erickson: Obama Would Win If Election Were Held Today

Erick Erickson, editor of the conservative blog RedState.com and a CNN contributor, concedes in a column published Monday that Mitt Romney is losing and that President Barack Obama would win a second term if the election were held today. In the column, Erickson counters conservatives who have quibbled with the slew of recent polls that have shown Obama out in front.

Contra Dick Morris, Mitt Romney is not winning this election. At least Mitt Romney is not winning the election right now. Conservatives are obsessing over every poll, the turn out models used, and the media bias that is on ful display. Yes, some of the polling models seem screwy, though we all forget the pollsters apply a secret sauce known only to them on top. Yes, reporters are fully beclowning themselves to get their god-king re-elected. But while we may be focused there, the fact is the Romney campaign isn’t functioning well. Lucky for you and me the election is not today. But something needs to happen in Boston and I am less and less hopeful anything will happen.

It's the "librul media's" fault. Yeah, Erick, pretend you didn't see the parade of neocons and reporters spewing RW talking points on all the Sunday talk shows.

Josh Marshall:

I’ve been watching elections professionally for going on two decades.

From a fair amount of experience I’ll say one thing: if your theory is based on some sort of systematic error on the part of most pollsters, you’re almost certainly in for a really long election night.

His outrageous comments during the Democratic Convention should have ended that gig. I guess CNN has no standards.

by saying - "we surrender", "we give up", "you win" don't bother you Democratic voters.

And I'm not going to repeat the oft-mentioned clarion call to our side here because we know what that is. We have a House to take back and a Senate to retain.

opponent is even better. Victory, sweet. Landslide victory, sweet plus a middle finger. When it comes to margins of victory, bigger is always better.
