It seems like the majority of posts on this subject endorse the idea that Romney doesn't stand a chance.
He does.
Why? The reasons are numerous:
1) Money, money, money. The big PACs and the rMoney campaign itself haven't even begun really spending the vast wads of cash that they're sitting on. They'll start this week and it going to be relentless, negative and majorly false from now until November 3. That can make a serious difference.
2) The economy. It sucks and lots of voters don't stick with what they've got under poor economic conditions. They'll vote for change. Any change at all.
3) Obama is black and there are voters who cast their ballot for him last time around, who'll say to themselves "I gave the black guy a chance and it didn't work out, I'm going back to the white guy who knows all about business. I'm not a racist because I voted for Obama last time around".
4) Obama is black and the racists (there are a lot of them) hate that he's president.
5) The MSM will continue letting rMoney get away with all kinds of shit.
6) The electorate is persuadable and as a whole, not informed. And stupid.
There's more but those are all major considerations.
Romney can win this thing. And that's even without taking into account that republicans can steal it if it's close. And it likely will be.
