Razor tight

Extremely close. A mixed metaphor (of "razor-thin" and simply "tight") commonly heard from television news reporters during election season, referring to the closeness of a race between candidates.
News anchor: "As you can see here, John, the presidential race is holding at 47 percent for each candidate. It's a razor tight margin."
