Why the race could be over tomorrow night

[LuckyTheDog]

Mitt needs a home run in tomorrow's debate. If he does not get it, two things could happen:

1) Donors might abandon his campaign during the last month before election day in order to concentrate on House and Senate races; and

2) The GOP and super PACs might wake up Nov. 7 and realize they spent two years and probably $2 billion to pick up Indiana and North Carolina (which Obama won in 2008) but lose the election.

That would be a catastrophe for the Republican Party.

1. Yup. It'll be over if the narrative coming out of the debate is that Romney didn't get a knockout.

2. It's been over since Mitt was nominated

Tomorrow will just be more nails

6. even before that I think -- when Ron Paul, Romney and Santorum all tied in the primaries

Each of them appealed to only a subset of GOP voters.

3. MSM wont let it be over

even Nate Silvers column is hedging for Rmoney. Tie in electoral college? Rmoney rising in polls? They did this same crap with McCain. Its their JOB to make it look EVEN. What do they talk about till Nov. ) besides Libya I mean...

4. Don't know. I am of the view that in order to concede that the r0mnbot got his ass handed to him

he will have to start drooling down his shirt, staring blankly and utter gibberish and nonsense. It will have to be a clear breakdown of his mental faculties in order for teabaggers to start wondering if something may be amiss. They just ain't all there.

The big $$$ donors have started focusing on cutting their losses months ago. They knew r0mnbot was long shot to begin with.

5. I honestly think if Romney bombs, and I think he'll be a big fail, he will not agree to

another debate. I just don't think he will. There will be some excuse but he won't do it.

[KurtNYC]

7. No way. They have to constantly hang another carrot in front of their donors

the debates give them something concrete to point to and say 'just wait, this will turn it around now write another check.'

8. Hahaha, well you have a good point. Greedy ba$tards..n/t
