Dancing in their leads are thoughts of recounts, competitive ballots and lawful cases. The likelihood that their applicant could win the well-known elect yet reduce the obama administration. Even the outside probability of an Electoral Higher education tie that tosses the competition to The legislature.
Now add to that celebration of prospective disasters one more: a freakish two-in-one surprise that could, if the more serious predictions confirm appropriate, twist an election two decades and $2 billion dollars in the making.
Despite the cautious preparing, cautious techniques, polling, promotion and get-out-the-vote initiatives, the election could generate the kind of messy result that contradicts anticipations and prognostication. Forms display such a limited competition between President Obama and Glove Mitt romney going into this last weeks time that the two factors are enjoying out any variety of crazy opportunities.
The strategy of Natural disaster Exotic advised them just how out of their management democracy can be.
“Obviously, we believe the more individuals get involved in the election, the better,” said Bob Axelrod, the president’s mature strategist, “and the surprise can be troublesome. But to the 50 thousand individuals in its direction, there are more immediate and possibly severe issues that surpass condition policies. We’ll have to delay and see its effect.”
The surprise pressured both applicants to discarded strategy prevents and, with eight times until Selection Day, will need Mr. Obama to stability the tasks of chief executive in an urgent and applicant. That could advantage or harm him, based on how voters perspective his performance, and disturb from initiatives by both summer campement to relocate a ending discussion.
Early voting, which Mr. Obama has mentioned on to enhance his possibilities of a second phrase, will most likely smash to a stop in some locations along the Southern Seaboard, while energy breakdowns could last much of the weeks time and possibly until Selection Day in some locations. It went unseen by no one that Va, among the most firmly competitive declares, may be among the most impacted.
Meteorology is only one crazy cards experiencing the techniques in the ultimate weeks time. On Selection Day, the champion may not be known right away; outcomes in one or more declares may be near enough to advantage recounts. In Tennesse, which could choose the election, so many provisional ballots may be throw — and by law are not mentioned right away — that it may be mid-November before a champion is announced.
“The Boy Look slogan comes in useful — be prepared,” said Bradley Blakeman, a Republican strategist and expert of Henry W. Bush’s recall battle in California. “I know that details of regional attorneys and nationwide lawful skills are accumulated and will be implemented if need be. After the recall in 2000 and the nail-biter in 2004, the G.O.P. is prepared with several circumstances already patterned.”
The techniques are so concerned about every electoral elect that a pro-Romney “super PAC” even spent in ads in Maine, a mostly Democratic condition, because it allocates some electoral ballots by Congressional region and Conservatives have a probability of choosing up only one elect there.
Of all the messy outcomes, the one that seems likeliest is a applicant's successful the obama administration through the Electoral Higher education despite dropping the well-known elect, as Mr. Shrub did in 2000. If it happens again, it might be in the other way, with the Republican, Mr. Glove romney, in variety of a well-known plurality and the Democrat, Mr. Obama, with an obviously simpler direction to an Electoral Higher education success.
Charlie Prepare, a well-known governmental handicapper, said the probability of that occurring was 10 to 15 %. Stanley B. Greenberg, a long time Democratic pollster, put the possibilities at “one in three.”
