They are no longer attempting to appeal to reason in their base, only to fear and anger.
They are counting on millions of dollars worth of Citizens United commercials to sew discontent against Obama, regardless of facts.
They are also counting on voter suppression efforts to keep down minorities and economically distressed folks who likely don't see things their way.
They may be planning on help from an e-voting manipulation (that's a polite way of saying theft) or two.

In any case, I do not think they are actually planning on throwing the election.
