Clinton: GOP money advantage could still swing the election

A month and a half before Election Day, President Obama is winning, former President Bill Clinton said Sunday, citing a raft of recent polls that show Obama widening a lead in several key swing states.

But Clinton warned Romney’s money advantage and Republican efforts in states around the country to put more restrictions on voting still threaten Obama’s chances.

“Assuming the debates are even a draw, I think the president will win,” Clinton said CBS’ “Face the Nation” with Bob Schieffer. “But I think you can’t know because of the enormous financial advantage that Citizens United gave to these Republican super PACs and because of the work they have done and will do on Election Day to try to reduce the number of young people, first-generation immigrants, and minorities voting.

Clinton said Republicans are counting on lower turnout that will match 2010, when Republicans scored major gains in the midterm elections, retaking control of the House and nearly retaking the Senate.

I think Bill Clinton has a point given that there is a sizable portion of the population that are living in a Fox News bubble who are insulated from reality. Thus, all you need to do is pound the battleground states with millions of dollars of ads to try to move the needle a few percentage points. Indeed, it seems like the GOP has taken to just lying and lying under the premise that there is no way the media can catch them all.
