Romney can’t win. It’s statistically impossible. Should Romney win, we’ll have a huge problem on our hands. Let’s review the statistical chances Romney has of winning:
From the Princeton Election Consortium:
These folks are never wrong when it comes to POTUS elections.
Let’s check in with the folks at fivethirtyeight:

It looks like we’re still a democracy. Obama is going to win in a landslide, by probably close to 100 electoral votes. The popular vote will be closer but this is how the system works.
And frankly, with the economy this bad, Romney should have clobbered Obama. Clinton beating Bush and Reagan beating Carter are proof. That Romney couldn’t beat Obama in this economic climate is a huge statement about his economic policies and his social policies as well. The country has rejected the Religious Right once again and the Supply Side Witchdoctors at the same time.
Break open the champagne!
Yes ma’am! Woo-hoo!!!
