Romney et ses 305 "grands électeurs": bluff et stratégie

Intéressant cet article sur le site du Huffington post... L'entourage de Romney tenterait d'afficher de la confiance pour attirer l'attention des médias et donner une impression de "tendance pro-Romney". Une stratégie utilisée par Karl Rove dans la campagne de George W. Bush en 2000...

But at the time, Bush projected a jaunty air of confidence. Rove publicly predicted Bush would win 320 electoral votes.
