Since so many Republicans think this is 1980 all over again,I guess the forum will be pretty empty come the post-election day...after Obama's (tight) victory.

I've been looking at 1980, prior to the time we knew who the nominees would be in 2008. 

I guess we have a successor to "Congrats,Phil".

52-48 in the PV, add say +2 for the pollster margin of error + shifts in Romney's favor, it could happen.

Romney's taken the first two steps he needs to do to win - lock down Indiana, Florida and North Carolina.

If Colorado is a true tossup, that means the true battlegrounds are WI/OH/IA/VA/CO/NH. That's a much more makeable map for Romney, especially if he can get ahead in VA and stay ahead in CO. Then all he needs is Ohio, or WI/IA/NH.
Sorry,when did he exactly "lock down Florida and North Carolina"?

It isn't partisan.  I think it it is a historical trend, and I was willing to say the same if a Republican won in 2008.
Allright.
But,anyway,being coherently wrong for 4 years doesn't make it any better...
