Doesn't look like he'll (obama) lose Va. and NC, he's leading in Fla., and is drawing big crowds in Ohio.

please go back to sleep, we will have someone wake you up on nov. 7

"Wyoming has a population of 568,158, and DC has a population of 617,996, so I suppose it's reasonable. "

Naw, DC is too small in acreage and oil/gas production to count separately from MD.

“We need to give DC back to Maryland.”

OH NO WE DON’T!

We’ve already got enough of their overflow freaks, thanks.

It means that Obama has less than 10 states that he can count on.

Plus, of course, the 17 states that Soros owned Scytl is counting the votes for in Spain...

We are so very saddened to be part of this Obama list—California. To think we produced Reagan. Now we are mindlessly Democrat—ALL the time. Mostly Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, but the rest of us conservative areas suffer for the mindlessness of the millions in those two cities.

Rass needs to get off his butt and start moving most of those toss-ups over to leans Romney.

It’s not hard to understand. I know the polls are moving in Romney’s direction. All I’m saying is the headline makes it sound worse for Obama than it is when you drill down and see Romney has a lock on even less electoral votes.

Anyway, maybe Drudge got tired of us arguing about it because the headline’s gone now. ;)

in a true election, without fraud, and including all the military votes that have been prevented,
Obama would certainly win less than 10 states.

...and at the rate he’s imploding, it still could happen!

Keep up the pressure folks! Talked to a person yesterday who was undecided because she is too busy with her small business to follow the news. Gave her my spiel on Obama and she said, "He sounds pretty scary for another four years." Hope she'll vote R/R now. Also told her my spiel on the MSM. . and mentioned FReep!

It means Obama has been travelling the country trying to figure out what happened to his gym lock.

Real Clear Politics currently has Romney with 181 EVs either Solid, Likely, or Leans. He needs 89 more to reach 270.

RCP has these states (156 EVs) in the Toss-up column:

Colorado (9)
Florida (29)
Iowa (6)
Michigan (16)
Missouri (10)
Nevada (6)
New Hampshire (4)
North Carolina (15)
Ohio (18)
Pennsylvania (20)
Virginia (13)
Wisconsin (10)

There is no doubt in my mind (being in Missouri) that Missouri (10) should be in the Leans or Likely Romney category. After Missouri, the states about which I am the most optimistic are Florida (29), North Carolina (15), and Virginia (13). If Romney gets those four states (67 total), that puts him at 248.

22 more to go. Where will they come from? Ohio (18) plus any of the others would do it. Other combinations could work also.

For months I have thought Romney will win with at least 290 EVs, possibly up to 320. If he gets 330 or more, that will exceed my wildest expectations. But now I would say it is possible.

Then does that mean Romney is tanking even more? Just click on Drudge’s link and you can see Romney’s only got a lock on less than half of the EVs Obama does. The headline could just as easily say, “Obama has lock on twice as many electoral votes as Romney.”

If Obama doesn't have a "lock" on PA, MI, or WI, then he's in much worse shape than pollsters and journalists thought all the way up to now.

Went to Massachusetts GOP Headquarters in Boston the other day to get some bumper stickers.I asked a guy there how Romney was polling in the state and he said 10 points down.When I asked him how it compared to ‘08 he said Osama took it by 15.In a state like this that's noteworthy.
