I still think it will come down to Colorado. I have said that for months. Romney will win but it will be closer than what some here think. Bottom line is that Romney wins which is what is most important. I am more worried about the Senate. I think we will gain 4 seats which is not enough to get back the Senate. We will keep the House. So we will have the Presidency and House and a closer Senate but still have Reid as Majority Leader. Romney is going to have to figure out how to get bills through with Reid....tough job but he worked with Mass which is a very liberal state.

Outside of the budget, Romney should NOT try to get bills passed through Reid's Senate. Massachusetts is evidence of what happens when a Republican works with a Dem majority.

Winning the Senate is crucial.

As long as there’s the threat that ObamaCare will be here to stay, the jobs will stay away.

High unemployment from now until Jan 20th is “Bush’s fault”.

The unemployment rate from Jan 20th will be “Romney’s fault” as the narrative will go for the next 4 years.

Politically (I stress politically) it would be better if Obama wins if we do not gain control of the Senate.

Unfortunately this election is not just about Republicans and democrats. It’s about America. Obama needs to go.

If Romney wins and Harry Reid is still in control of the Senate, I don’t see much economic improvement on the way anytime soon and we know who will be blamed for that.

We need to win the Senate.

So who’s ready with this cycles “Sore Loserman?” I’m not smart enough to think of one, not yet anyway.

The true nightmare scenario is a close EC win for Romney regardless of the PV. If that happens expect a full on push from the MSNBC types to flip some of the electors for the “good of the country.” We obviously aren’t smart enough to make the right choice ourselves.

Why is a gain of four senate seats, with Romney winning, not enough to take back the senate?

This is an interesting comment. Colorado is the state which pushed Obama over in 2008. He could have won without Ohio, and still could, in a perfect storm scenario, by carrying IA, WI, NV, CO and NH (270 to 266 win).

I live in CO. I voted already, and found the ballot a bit confusing. It will be interesting to see if that comes into play.

I’d be surprised to see Obama win this time around. Not much enthusiasm here. I saw a yard sign, post on a fence, which said something like “Obama for President” and someone else wrote “Who Cares?”, which I think about sums things up here. I live in a Dem part of town, in Denver, and enthusiasm is down.
