And now for another take on the election prospects. The Economist says that the Romney camp still believes that they're going to win.
Anything is possible...:-)
I had dinner with Romney's original PR guy in the spring and his guess was Romney had a 70% chance of winning the primaries and going on to beat Obama. I laughed. :)
The most interesting point in the article was the one about the spending differences; that Romney gets access to a bunch more capital when he is officially nominated; that explains some of the current spending differences. I am not sure that Paul Ryan's nomination will be the fire-up for the Republican base that they are thinking, but you have to hand this to them: they are predictable.
