Tim Cavanaugh Defends "Obama Is a Lock" Claim: WRKO (680 AM), 1:30 p.m. Eastern

Reason Managing Editor Tim Cavanaugh will discuss his "near-certainty that Mitt Romney will be defeated by Barack Obama in November" today on WRKO (680 AM), "BOSTON'S TALK STATION." 

It's a very special episode of the Jen Brien show with guest hosts Hillary Chabot of the Boston Herald and Reason's brutally honest campaign correspondent Garrett Quinn.

Possible topics:  Are Mitt Romney's modest total-vote numbers a product of non-enthusiasm for Mitt Romney himself or non-enthusiasm for the GOP overall? 

In fact, since Romney is maintaining his 2008 numbers amid a general decline in votes for every Republican candidate, should we be nice and say he's doing relatively better than he was in 2008? 

In fact (2), how do we know even a general decline in Republican voters will hurt Romney at a time when, according to Gallup, the Democrats are hemorrhaging voters too? 

And how did the Sheens get mixed up in this thing too? 

When:  Today at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time, 10:30 a.m. Pacific. 

Where: Bostonians can tune their crystal sets to 680 on the AM dial.
