Interesting point made about GOP la-la land election predictions.

'How Can That Be?' More on the 'They Can't Both Be Right' Saga

Quote:
There is an additional, more pernicious aspect to the Fox News-Crossroads-GOP fostering of a Romney-is-winning narrative: de-legitimizing an Obama win. Time and again, the right's narrative toward Obama (and earlier, toward Clinton) has been that his very presidency is illegitimate. (He's not American, he's Kenyan; the unemployment numbers aren't real, they're cooked; Obamacare isn't Romneycare, it's Soviet communism; and on and on.)

It is clear that should Obama win in a couple of weeks, the right will need to portray that not as the American people choosing the other guy and his priorities/worldview, but as something fishy, possibly corrupt, and certainly illegitimate. That job will be all the easier if a foundation has been built in the political narrative that Romney was winning all along.

It seems to me that all he is saying is that the Republicans think they are going to win and are very confident.

I am not sure if you have seen a election before but both sides say the same thing.

The things people get paid for sometimes astounds me.

Dems do same thing - "It was the superPACs that let the GOP win" for example, see that type of thinking a lot amongst the left.

Even though Dem superPACs are every bit as funded as GOP superPACs.

Also dont forget "voter supression". On many Dem net works, Obama should win... and if Romney wins, its because non-military people had a couple less days of early voting in Ohio or something.

Both "sides" engaged in the same tactics /shrug

I am quoting this so you can't get out of saying this.

Re: Voter suppression

Derid, I don't think pointing out that voter ID laws conveniently passed by GOP state governments, that are on the record saying this will guarantee Romney win, that also undeniably single out traditional democratic supporters - poor and minorities is anything like manufacturing alternative reality where Romney wins by a landslide.

Voter suppression - agree or disagree is an argument based on facts, and Romney landslide is pure fiction. He couldn't even win with such landslide among registered GOP voters, least in general election where other people inconveniently allowed to vote.

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.
