This is what I have been saying here several times already;
"That might not matter if Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 39 to 32 percent, as they did in the 2008 exit poll. But just about every indicator suggests that Republicans are more enthusiastic about voting -- and about their candidate -- than they were in 2008, and Democrats are less so."
That one factor alone counts in Romneys favor, in a big way.
There's really no basis for that other than wishful thinking. Everything would have to go Romney's way. I'll take the word of someone like Nate Silver and his statistical models over a partisan like Barone..
I'm a big MLB fan, so I was aware of Silver even before 2008..and if he says Romney currently has only a 16.3% chance of winning, he has only a 16.3% chance of winning.

Did you happen to read the part where he discussed "fundamentals?" That's the "basis" and that's the part you apparently missed.
That means ex-President Obama has to own up to the Benghazi and Fast & Furious issues and won't be able to use his "executive privilege" anymore, except to get a pardon from President elect Mitt Romney to get a "get out of jail card"!
