You left off NY.

I haven't seen anything that implies that R-R is competitive in New York.

But if Obama loses FL, OHIO, PA, NC, VA, MI, WI then he loses. Doesn't look like he'll lose Va. and NC, he's leading in Fla., and is drawing big crowds in Ohio.

I read in the TNT, (Tacoma News Tribune), that Oregon is trending Romney. I don’t believe anything could sway Washington to go Romney. It’s been a long time since the state voted sanely, if ever.

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.”

Drudge is biased, preaching-to-the-choir, pro-Romney, pro-RNC media. I support Romney and the GOP but I look for unbiased, factual reporting, not spoonfed hype. I can deal with the facts and don’t need to be coddled to make myself feel good.

Oregon is one of the top 10 Mormon states. Romney will do better there and in Nevada, Arizona and Minnesota than the usual GOP candidate.

All you need to do is compare today’s stats with those of two weeks ago to see the significance.

Oregon only leans and may move to toss up soon.

Too bad it isn’t “OBAMA UNDER LOCK”.

It means that Romney will win 330-400 electoral votes. that is not the prize though. We need to get the senate. Probably 52-57 R senators.

How does DC get 3 electoral votes?

I don't like it, probably passed through congress and not a constitutional amendment...

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

I suppose a few of our Republican "friends" voted for it.

nj or Del

Definitely both. Here in NJ, it almost always goes D. Which is strange since we have several Republican counties.

DC got 3 electoral votes as a result of the 23rd Amendment. The first time DC got electoral votes was in the 1964 election.

That amendment awards DC electoral votes as if it were a state, but not more than the least populous state.

So it was a constitutional amendment.

Some want to make DC a state. Can you imagine that? There would be 2 automatic liberal Democrat senators always, plus a liberal Democrat congressman always.

23rd Amendment
The Twenty-third Amendment (Amendment XXIII) to the United States Constitution permits citizens in the District of Columbia to vote for Electors for President and Vice President. The amendment was proposed by Congress on June 17, 1960, and ratified by the states on March 29, 1961. The first Presidential election in which it was in effect was the presidential election of 1964. Prior to the passage of the amendment, residents of Washington, D.C. were forbidden from voting for President or Vice President as the District is not a U.S. state. However, they are still unable to send voting Representatives or Senators to Congress.

The amendment restricts the district to the number of Electors of the least populous state, irrespective of its own population. As of 2011, that state is Wyoming, which has three Electors. However, even without this clause, the district's present population would only entitle it to three Electors. Since the passage of this amendment, the District's electoral votes have gone towards the Democratic candidates in every presidential election.[1]

What are you talking about? In the past Obama supposedly had a “lock” on 300 Electoral Votes in the poll averages, no matter what side one is on, the polls are clearly moving Romney’s way to the point that it is not ASSUMED that Obama is winning. His FLOOR is now Ten states, it doesn’t mean that he will win only 10 states, but that is now his FLOOR.

Why is this so hard to understand?
