A massive and historic storm is barreling towards the beltway this weekend. The entire DC-NYC axis, headquarters of the left media complex, will suffer the effects of three storm-fronts, converging at the same time. Evacuations may be ordered, but it is likely too late. No, I'm not talking about Hurricane Sandy. The storm I mean is the growing realization that Obama is on the cusp of losing the election. But, with just a little over a week to go, it may be too late to hit the panic button.

Democrats and the media have labored under several false assumptions the entire campaign. They wove these into a narrative that Obama's reelection was inevitable. It may have helped them sleep at night, but it caused them to miss the tectonic plates shifting beneath the election. This weekend three storm-fronts started converging that will sweep their assumptions away. Let's look at each in turn.

The first storm-front is the expanding campaign battleground. I've long noted that which states become competitive towards the end of the race can tell you a lot about the state of the campaign. In 2008, when "red" states like Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina and Montana suddenly became competitive, it was a clear sign that Obama had a huge momentum advantage. This year, however, it is "blue" states becoming competitive. In the final week, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota are emerging as new battleground states. If Romney's position is improving in states like these, its a good sign that he slated to win states like Florida, Colorado, Virginia and Ohio.

I'd say the Democrats should have hit the panic button after the first debate. Even if they hit the button now, it's too late to save Obama's re-election chances. Thank. God.

It's never too late for the dems and obama thugs to try something but I've thought for months now, especially since the Walker fiasco for them in Wisconsin that Romney would be our next president and win handily.

The radical right wing Breitfart? The only ones hitting the panic button are the far right. Obama has been destroying Willard in the early voting

Go ahead, shoot the messenger. It will make you feel better, temporarily. Bookmark the link so you can reread it on the evening of Nov. 6th, right about when Ohio gets put in the Romney column, with Pennsylvania still too close to call.

Arent you the same poster who predicted Walker would lose his recall election based upon a car wash poll?

Yes, yes you are..

I'm sorry to hear that basic math is 2 difficult for you to understand, but 1 early vote = 1 less vote on election day.

IT MEANS NOTHING, unless Romney supporters decide to simply not vote..

FAIL!!!

Why panic? I'm a bit lost. Obama is ahead. Even if he loses, which seems unlikely, life will go on.

Seriously, y'all be safe out there. Especially you Trace (you live in Maryland, right?). Sandy looks to me to be one big, bad mama. Please listen to the evacuations. I have a feeling that when the thing really hits tonight, folks will not have enough time to reevaluate if they made the wrong decision. Just get the hell out of town.

I hear Arkansas is beautiful this time of year.

As of today (10/29) Rasmussen reports Romney leads Obama in Ohio 50% to 48%.
