I have said, for quite some time, now that this election just "feels" like 1980 to me. I think it's going to be a bit more of a margin than "close" but, I don't know if "landslide" would be accurate. I think Romney is going to win by an undisputable factor (for anyone who doesn't belong to a political party that's found of cry-babying about how elections get "stolen"); I would say somewhere around a 10-15% margin. I don't know if we can call that a landslide. I think the house will actually go D as a result of backlash against the Tea Party and I think the Rs might pick up a VERY small margin in the senate. Peace and comfort, Michael

(I bet you're afraid to agree with me)[8D] In principle, Hillwilliam, I'm willing to agree with anybody, on something, somewhere, and yeah, your pick of Romney/Ryan in a squeaker seems like an obvious choice. So did Rubio for Veep, iirc. I'm not willing to commit to it though. If anything, I like the Romney landslide, or at least a clear and undisputed victory, possibility better. The pieces are in place for it to happen, but it isn't too late for a dirty trick. Before the first debate, if someone had held held a gun to my head, and demanded a prediction then and there, I'd have said Obama by a nose, unless he steps on his dick. Put a gun there now, and I'll say a clean, clear, election of Romney/Ryan, if present trends continue. But I'm not putting money on the table until I know, instead of think.

We will gain at least 4 seats in the house We will retain the senate picking up at least 2 seats And the Dead will headline the Mid-Atlantic Inaugural Ball for the second time. And I have already been in touch with my friend Dennis and ordered up this song for the opener or closer.. http://youtube.com/#/watch? v=jfz3hC3HBW0 Hint... Romney wouldn't know the Dead if their limo hit him in the ass.
