Note that liberal CBS is actually acknowledging that Romney has a slight lead. And Romney has aces up his sleeve that O'bummer lacks: His VP is unknown but will presumably be tactically chosen for the ability to eat into the O'Bummer/Biden base; He's out-earning O'bummer in campaign donations; He's not a loser; He's about to go on the attack - something McCain never did.
O'bummer will need to have an impressive rabbit in his hat to save his Presidency. He's ACTING confident, sure, but (as we discovered following the 2008 election) there's not really anything there.
BTW, note the final sentence of my excerpt. I think it is a very important statistic. Half of all voters are women. So, if Romney were to do something to attract a substantial number of women, it would absolutely destroy O'bummer's election chances.
I'm not saying that Romney will necessarily pick Condi Rice as his running mate. I'm not sure she wants the job or doesn't have baggage we don't know about. But I *am* saying that she suddenly looks VERY attractive to a layman like me. While I've thought until now that Rubio would be the VP choice, I now think it's neck-and-neck between Rubio and Rice.
