The pundits keeps fudging that because they need to remain relevant. Also, many of them don't want to douse the Romney fire that exists in their imaginations.
The President also has the best ground game and Sandy only helped him.
Supposedly, Romney has almost no ground game and is relying mostly on the RNC's. I find that hard to believe as he is very rich and the RNC's game is not good, but that is what I heard from the geniuses on TV.
Nonetheless, if no one messes with the vote count, it will be four more years of Obama, but, as we all know, that is a big IF.
And, through a series of transactions, we find Romney/Romney supporter/Bain fingers in the voting machine companies. (I had heard Tagg Romney directly, but it's more complicated than that. Still, the chain of fools are involved.)
