Dukakis, of course, didn’t come close, and lost 40 states.
///
Obama is no Dukakis. ...he makes Dukakis look good!
gas prices, lies about unemployment
(and manipulation of birth / death adjustments),
will be clear to enough people by November,
that Obama will lose worse than Dukakis.
-
in EVERY demographic, Obama is already doing worse,
than 2008. ...it won’t even be close.
Exactly, by my count Obama has at most 201 EVs he can be confident in and Romney has at least 206 EVs he can be confident in.
I certainly do not have NC in the toss up category, but do have Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania in the toss up category. Of course the author suggest they may be toss, but wonders why no Romney buy in those states.
My view is that this reported $4.5 million buy is likely a long planned buy with buys in other states coming.
The only reason the Guardian would post this article is because they’re scared that Romney will win.
His map, however, shows Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin already in the blue column, accounting for the estimate of electoral votes he’s assigning to Mr. Obama. Take a look.
Michigan is lost (GM talking point) and PA was never in the cards and hasn't been since '88.
It doesn't matter if Romney only has 11 ways to win vs. Obama's 18. On Nov 6, Romney just needs ONE.
Pennsylvania elected a Republican governor in 2010 by a margin of 8.8% and a Republican senator in 2010 by a margin of 2.0%.
How does O-Bah-Mah have a lock on Pennsylvania?
LOL... all I had to do was look at the source. If the Guardian thinks it’s a bad idea, Mitt’s probably on the right track.
Taking the advice of a Liberal rag is probably not very high on Mitt’s list of things to do.
I won’t even bother reading this.
5 Words: "Phil A Del Phi A"
I did see that map when I read the article. I was quite surprised by the map given the tone in the article. Weren’t you?
I think you mean “West Camden”.
The Guardian makes MSNBC, Newsweek and the New York Times all look like the John Birch Society.
Yeah, it sounds like the old bowling joke, "We lost all three games, but took total pins."
Total BS.
2010 wasn't a presidential election year and the Philadelphia machine was not in full swing.

Wisconsin recall prediction: Walker will lose
Based on projected voter turnout, Barretts fiery debate performance and former President Bill Clintons recent visit to Wisconsin
That’d be a good idea for any conservative in a red state or blue state that borders a swing state. Utahns coming from the other direction into Nevada, or into Colorado. Minnesotans going into Iowa or Wisconsin, or Indianans into Ohio, perhaps, things like that. Should try to set some system up on the Interwebs for that...
That’s because Romney’s not advertising in any of those three states.
Sigh. Romnet IS doing buys in WI and MI as per WaPo. This is the FIRST WAVE and Romney is awash in cash. If I read the start, it is to begin by locking down the likely states, THEN spend on true swing state lik n, WI, PA, and MI. Ras has now had Romney up in his swing state poll, which covers the first batch, for 2 weeks in a row, even after the Dem convention.
I still think PA is a long shot, but it got closerthis year.
