Wow. John Heilemann is a treasure trove of information on Obama campaign...

Said they believe they're going to win. They feel Iowa, Wisconsin, Nevada and New Hampshire are locked up and that Ohio is almost certainly going to be won. They also believe they're up in Virginia and Florida is a toss-up with a slight lead!

Even with the prospect of a very large crowd in Pennsylvania awaiting him, that did not seem to be enough to improve Romney's demeanor.

Halperin kept talking about how confident the Obama Campaign is. Like it really bothered him that they were so confident. GRRRR.

Even from Fox outlets. It's all "gut feelings" and hopes about turnout and how evangelicals are gonna do this, etc etc. Not a single person has come out and said Romney's team has the data that shows they're in a strong position to win.
