Look for Romney to win 301 - 237, or 321 - 217 (as I think PA still has a solid chance to go red). And, imagine the complete spanking if you took the socialist states out, CA, NY, MD.

Florida and Virginia are long gone. He needs to worry about Wisconsin. There's a legit chance Mitt loses Ohio and picks up WI, finishing at 271.

The socialist states...so how much computer time do they allow you in the asylum? Is it even with Ty Webb or does he get more time in what I'm sure you consider a liberal conspiracy?

That would be wild...would definitely prove me wrong on the VP pick because I thought he should've gone with Rubio or Portman because I thought that'd get him a state whereas I never suspected Wisconsin would be this much in play (even with the the Recall, etc.)

We may never know if Ryan was his first choice. But I think for really attacking Obama on spending and economics/fiscal that Ryan was the perfect choice. And I always thought WI could be on the table after looking at the recall and Ryan's popularity there, but of course at the time FL was more critical and very much in doubt. I think it was fair, initially, to think that Ryan could have hurt him in FL.

What's interesting is the bailout has been effective at hurting Romney, particularly in OH and MI (obviously). But that's been one of the more gross mischaracterizations of Romney's views.

However, if you were going to turn back the clock on that one, it's probably an equally effective (and accurate) tactic to say under Romney the UAW would have gotten a lot less.

What a kick in the nuts that, after 4 years of this economic malaise, what could tip the election is paying off the UAW all the way back in 2009.

Don't they say if the incumbent is not at 50 that he is losing?

The needle isn't moving as fast as elsewhere, but Mitt obviously has the momentum going in Ohio.

IMO, it all comes down to Ohio. I see Mitt taking FLA, NC, VA, and CO.

For the incumbent to be mid-40's at this stage of the game means game over.

Time Magazine has Obama up 49-44;up 2-to-1 with early voters

Survey USA has him up 47-44

Lake Research has him up 46-44

How exactly does Romney have the momentum in Ohio?

Nevada is drifting blue as well

Dude. The Time poll has a farking D+10 sample. The other two are D+5 and D+7. Do you seriously never look at crosstabs before you post this sht?

Your disappointment will be palpable that Tuesday night.

If you're not citing Rasmussen or PEW, you're doing it wrong.

If Mitt has the type of momentum you people here claim....it shouldn't matter what the crosstabs are! Romney should be kicking our ass everywhere...BUT HE ISN'T

He's cut the RCP average from 6 points to less than 2 in the span of three weeks. What would you call that, if not momentum?

Apply a still very generous D+4 sample to those three polls you just posted and Mittens is probably dead even if not up a point.
