Affleck Says Obama Already Won Election

Time to take down those election year yard signs and peel your political bumper stickers off the Honda.

President Barack Obama is on his way to winning a second term, according to actor/director/prognosticator Ben Affleck.

The “Jersey Girl” star says the polls show that GOP candidate Mitt Romney lost his chance, and his inability to relate to the common man doomed him.

“I think Republicans really had a chance to win,” Affleck said. “And they kind of ended up with like a sort of Mike Dukakis, Al Gore, Bob Dole type – who just couldn’t get people to see him as a real person somehow. Romney just had such trouble coming off as just like the kind of person you see at the grocery store. And I truly believe that has cost him the election.”

Never mind that all the major polls are tightening as we speak and the first of the three planned presidential debates takes place tomorrow at the University of Denver.
