Do Republicans think Mitt Romney will win?

I'll be a bit surprised, maybe 25% chance of it happening. But I do think the polling in CO, NC, FL, and small amount in VA is somewhat discordant from the actual voting numbers we have (esp NC and CO). And if the polling is wrong here, why wouldnt it be elsewhere. Plus Romney team is legitimately bullish on their chances. Maybe they are in an ignorant bliss, I dunno. But they are confident for whatever reason.

I'm 40.  I've been through several elections.  In 08 it was a no brainerf.  This time it's easy to see the polls are wrong.  It's hard to say that b/c it makes it easy for you guys to ridicule, I'm a cautiously optimistic person generally, but it boils down to the fundamentals and mainly the economy.  We'll find out in a couple days if you get D+8 turnout and win independents, that's what you have to have.

I'm very confident Romney wins.  I feel very good about a D+3 electorate or better towards R.

If the exit polls show a D+7, will you believe them?  Or will you still hold out hope?

Since you don't believe polls that all universally say D+7, what will determine the turnout for you?

Are you purposefully trying to get a rise out of all the Romney supporters on this board?
