I don't understand why Romney would double down on this

11. Correct (I think)

My working hypothesis is that Romney has already been told by his campaign that he lost. He knew he was at the brink of losing during the last debate, thus his flop sweat. The second debate was Romney's Hail-Mary pass. Pass incomplete. We was unable to sway the demographics he needed. Early voting, especially in key counties and districts, combined with the Obama's Mamouth GOTV efforts have closed Romney's Electoral College path. Everything we see from Romney is Kabuki theatre to maintain Republican enthusiasm. I believe the polls will reflect that in the next few days, and beginning to show Obama's momentum now. I don't believe Ohio will decide this race, only because the polls close in NC and Virginia first. Romney was never really ahead in this race beyond some opinion polls, and time has run out for him to catch up.

Stay scared and maybe we can get Congress, too. Cheers.
