Doesn't seem like that much of a gamble anymore. X still floats way too close to 50% these days. They have the tiniest little sliver of a shadow of the truth to hang this lie on, though:

The plant covers 4,800,000 ft³ (446,000 m³). [3] It employed around 7,000 workers at its peak in 1970, but was down to about 1,200 when it was idled in December 2008, with only 57 employees left when it completely ceased production in April 2009. [4] [5] en.wikipedia.org
There was some contract production for Isuzu going on the last 4 months.

"They are gambling that x-number of voters really are that stupid?"

No, just X/2. They count on suppressing the other half.

I've seen Ryan's defenders say it is Obama's fault that the plant hasn't reopened, lol.
