he knows this already. If they lose faith in his chances or fire in their gut to GOTV for him, he'll lose in an absolute landslide. This was his McCain being told to use the racist angle if he wanted any chance at winning moment. At least McCain had the decency to not go that route, Romney said fuck it. He'll be smashed as a result and lose with more than dishonor.
