I disagree. Difference between normal election bravado and this "there is no way we could ever possibly lose this election, unless something fishy going to happen" is huge.

There is no denying that Romney could win. So could Obama. Race is close enough that it could go ether way.

Denying a possibility that other side is win is setting up conspiracy theories and attacking legitimacy of other side if they win.

As article pointed out - if Romney is in such huge lead, and Obama still happens to win, it isn't because nation is fed up with conservative policies, doctrine and it is time to change and modernize, but because other side cheated. This is setting up rationalization for their (in my mind inevitable) failure.
