4. His arrogance will be what saves him from a meltdown. This is a person who is not used to the word

"No" or being challenged on anything he wants. I truly doubt he realized what he was getting into with this race. He may have thought battling Obama was on a par with the primary challengers and is now shocked. I think he has told Ann more than once he's "darned sorry" he got into this. Had he known then what he knows now he would have found another hobby. He truly thought this would be a walk in the park, handsome republican "him" against a young black guy? Cakewalk. He's never had a challenge like this and his worldview has been rocked.
