The GOP needs it to be close in the event they have an opportunity to steal a state or two, like Ohio.

The media needs it to be close so people will tune in to their never ending coverage of the propaganda.

Right now, there's no way around it. Pollster.com average has Obama at 0.1% ahead of Romney.

No matter how radical or out of touch they are with the rest of America, the media will always portray it as a "toss-up". No way should they ever be routed for their insanity.
