Obviously, the game has to be played (afterall, the Cowboys somehow have managed to win a few games this season
), but this was never the close race the media trumped it up to be.
I do think the popular vote will be relatively close though, which-to me-speaks volumes. Romney is a horrible candidate, and the only reason the popular vote will be close is because there's a lot of anger towards Obama and the direction this country is going.
