Romney is our easiest opponent and always has been. My only concern is that all this is coming waaaay too early.

To paraphrase:

"So and So is TOAST!"

"This is the END!"

"My guess? Romney steps aside by the END OF THE WEEK!"

"It's OVAH!"

"Did the rethugs just sign their own DEATH CERTIFICATE? YES!"

"Weiner's got those lying fuckers by the THROAT!"

"Rove about to be INDICTED! (in 24 business hours)"

"Scott Walker's going to JAIL!"

Well Romney hasn't stepped aside, Rove wasn't indicted, Weiner walked away with his lying tail between his legs, and Walker sleeps in the Governor's Mansion tonight.

I hate that those things are realities. Sometimes the certainty expressed in predictions here is disheartening when one is looking at the bigger picture.

No matter how inept, stupid, arrogant, and crooked he may be, he could still end up in the White House.
