My second favorite paragraph: "Book it: Romney's going to win this election in a romp come November. I'm certain of this because there is a key factor that's being overlooked this time around -- blacks have lost their passion for Obama.
I see that loss reflected in the faces of my fellow blacks, who at the mention of Obama's name no longer beam with rapturous joy -- something we blacks normally reserve for winning lottery tickets and intimate getaways with persons not our spouses. As the saying went in the 'hood where I grew up: "If he looks happy, he's either hit the number or he's cheating."
=========== Please note, while I do think the polls are extra crappy this time around, at least the ones we see are, I'm not predicting a Nixonian landslide.
Anyway, read it through, if only to read his book titles.

I think this guy might be right. I think many people have lost the love for Obama, could be a big shock when people who would never admit it to a pollster decide they have something better to do then go out to vote.
It think Obama will still win but not with the kind of turn out he saw last time.
Right now, I'd agree that turnout will be less than 2008. Perhaps significantly. I think the debates could change that though. Romney keeps giving Obama tons of fuel for attacks, should be interesting. I'm more enthused to support Obama than I was even a month ago. I think these debates have the potential to be extremely entertaining and perhaps even interesting.
