In reply to the discussion: Did you have any doubts that the President would win on Tuesday? [View all]quinnox
(20,600 posts)34. yes, I was prepared for a Romney win, but also optimistic too
When I saw how the last polls seemed to start breaking to advantage Obama, I then knew Romney was going to have to get lucky to win. Not that he couldn't win, but that the odds were stacked against him.
However, before that happened, I was more pessimistic, and really thought we might have to say hello to a President Romney. Especially after that first debate catastrophe. Obama almost blew the election there. Luckily, there was enough time left to repair the damage and he did so.
