This Could Get Weird - JOSH MARSHALL [View all]

Josh Marshall has received a report which, though vague, bugs him. It bugs me too...

This Could Get Weird

JOSH MARSHALL NOVEMBER 5, 2012, 12:14 AM 14917
Listening to a story from a friend this evening. Guy in a social setting talking to a group of Wall Street heavyweights. Every single one in the room certain Romney wins. Has Ohio locked. Has the whole thing tied up. No doubt.
