Is republican candidate Willard 'Mitt' Romney offically in trouble? Sources within the Romney campaign have confirmed that the four sons with the least ridiculous names have told the family that they will be voting for Barack Obama. A senior advisor to the campaign admitted that the revelation rocked Anne Romney. Mrs. Romney fought back tears most of the day and was overheard saying, "I wish I had the courage, but what can I do? He's my husband."
As the news swept through the Washington media establishment, it was met with scepticism. However, the confirmation came when MSNBC's Chris Matthews found Political Director Chuck Todd in his closet, "curled up in the fetal position sobbing like a little baby."
The impact on the race remains uncertain. As Politico's Mark Halperin observed, "The fact that the President has consistently led in most battleground polls, even after his disasterous debate performance illustrates the truth that this race really is too close to call...really, trust me it can go either way.
This consensus was supported by Chris Ciliza of the Washinton Post. "We have officially moved Ohio to the toss-up category, because, even though the President has led in the polls in the last two weeks from anywhere between 2 and 6 percent, Romney must win Ohio to have any real chance. So, it is obvious that Ohio is too close to call....really trust me."
