Predicting 50-50 Senate and 245(R)-193(D) House
Romney >380
Obummer <140
Romney wins. We keep the House. The Senate will be tied, with Ryan casting the deciding vote.
R&R: 320EVs. Don’t ask me why but for the past month that number has been in my mind.

I predict that the team of VOLS I work with ... we will be out campaigning from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on behalf of conservatives in tight races for the state House. And helping Linda McMahon for Senate.
That is all I predict now. Perhaps we get somebody new in the state House who would not have won without us. But only by the grace of God.
I am also predict that regardless of the outcome, the God-fearing people will regroup and come back for another round in ‘14.
The Presidential race will be super, super tight, like 2000 & 2004. I think Romney will win by 1-2%.
Basically, you have to look at the swings from election to election; those prediction a Romney landslide are not being realistic. Yes, in 1980, Reagan won by 9%, but Carter had won in 1976 by only 2%. So that was an 11% swing in one election.
Reagan won 1984 by 18.2%, so that was an R+9 swing.
In 1988, Bush won by around 7%, so that was an 11 point swing toward the Dems.
In 1992, Clinton won by 5.5%, so that was a 12.5% swing to the Dems.
In 1996, Clinton won by 8.5%, so that was another 3 point D swing.
In 2000, Bush lost popular vote by 0.5%, so that was an 8 point swing to the R.
In 2004, Bush picked up 3 points, for a 2.5% win.
Obama won 2008 by 7, so that was a 9.5% swing.
As you can see, the swings have gotten shallower. Bush’s 2000 win, swinging 8% toward the Republicans is probably the most realistic for us. That would translate to a 1% Romney win.
