Obama sees warnings in North Carolina, Wisconsin, bright spot in New Mexico in race to 270

“The bright spot in New Mexico is due to the fact that the Dems have been so successful in importing voters from Mexico.”

Worth noting is that New Mexico has now become the second “White minority state” (California was the first). By virtue of demographics and how such demographics impact voters’ preferences, it’s going to be increasingly difficult for Republicans to win there again at the statewide and presidential levels.

Another state that faces “blue future” due to demographic change is Texas, of all places. Yes, I -know- how Texans vote today, and will vote in the near-term. But I believe fully 70% of all new births in Texas are to non-Euros — almost certainly the lion’s share of that 70% are to Hispanics and most of them illegal. It will take twenty years for this cohort to reach voting age, but when it does....?

Now that the dead are being culled from the rolls here, the next step has started to cross verify anyone on the rolls in Florida that are still on the rolls in other states.

Yup...it's about time

I recall a study done I think from the 2004 election done just between NJ, NY, NC and FL....

They found something of the order of 18,000 votes cast in Florida from people living in the other three states that voted there as well...

I always get a chuckle when libtards claim there is no voter fraud...

A MINNESOTA PAPER? Come on - this is biased to the Messiah. For example, the article says:

Michigan (16) — Despite lingering economic pain in the auto capital, Michigan has large minority and union voting blocs that favor Obama. Romney, a native son whose father was governor, won the GOP primary but his opposition to the 2008 auto bailout will hurt him.

NO - Romney’s opposition won’t hurt him. Only the Union slugs are happy about the auto bailout and the government takeover of GM. The rest of Michigan is as outraged as any other non-union, non-welfare, working class group. This article clearly slants the outcome in Obama’s direction, sometimes by using reasoning that only libs can understand. Obama may win Michigan based on the union and welfare slugs - along with significant ballot box stuffing in Detroit, Flint and Ann Arbor, but the auto bailout is a non-factor.

Can’t speak for the Sunshine State, but I do spend a lot of time in Virginia and North Carolina.

I concur with your assessment of the Tarheel State; in fact, the reversal in that state since 2008 is nothing less than stunning. Two years after Barry O carried North Carolina, the GOP gained control of both houses of the state legislature (for the first time since Reconstruction); the incumbent Rat governor, Beverly Perdue, was forced to abandon her bid for re-election, and voters approved a ballot measure banning gay marriage by more than 20 points.

In fact, one of the most bizarre spectacles in American politics will occur in Charlotte later this year, when the Dims gather for their convention. Nothing like the Anointed One being nominated in a right-to-work state that Obama will lose by at least eight points.

The race in Virginia is much tighter, but like NC, the GOP has experienced a resurgence since 2008. The federal workers who live in northern Virginia will likely give Obama an edge in that area. But Axelrod and Company are clearly worried about Hampton Roads and the military vote. Last week, they began a media blitz in Norfolk touting Obama’s record as commander-in-chief. At the time, the media stenographers claimed that Obama sensed an opening, because he’s much more competitive among military voters and veterans.

Today, we found out the real reason for the push: a new Gallup survey gives Mitt Romney a 24-point advantage among the veterans voting block. In states like
VA, NC and Florida, if you’re losing veterans by that margin, you will likely lose the entire state, since all three have large military populations—and even greater numbers of veterans who turn out and vote.

"In fact, one of the most bizarre spectacles in American politics will occur in Charlotte later this year, when the Dims gather for their convention. Nothing like the Anointed One being nominated in a right-to-work state that Obama will lose by at least eight points."

Columbus or Pittsburgh. No-brainer. Bobo could have won re-election without NC, but he won't win dogcatcher without holding onto Ohio and Pennsylvania. And he's quite possibly going to lose both.

This article is kind of shallow. It says nothing about specific Obama policies and actions and how they have effected each state. It says very little about the grassroots conservative organizing that has taken place since 2009. This upcoming election is very different from the 2008 election, and the 2012 Obama is very different from the 2008 version, but these differences are not at all captured in the analysis within this article.
The voters of indiana putting Lugar, the RINO King out to pasture speaks volumes on how pissed people really are.
