There is of course no such thing as 'retiring retroactively'. Mitt's been caught red handed telling porkies, and that won't help his chances one iota. Character matters, Mitt.

Huffpo's poll of Polls currently has Obama winning the election on strong and 'Obama leaning' states alone, which would deliver 281 electoral college votes against the 270 needed for victory.. he can thus lose all four of the current 'toss-up' states including Fla, but even that is unlikely. It's smelling like burnt toast over there in the Romney bus, unless they can pull something big out of the bag.
