We’re a long way from November 6 (145 days for those who are keeping score at home), but Rasmussen’s latest polling of likely voters in states across the land shows Mitt Romney currently leading President Barack Obama in the quest for electoral votes. In fact, if the 9 key swing states were each to go according to Rasmussen’s latest polling, and if the 41 other states (plus Washington, D.C.) were each to go as they would be expected to go in a tight race, Obama would have 243 electoral votes and Romney 269 — enough for a tie (and an almost inevitable victory in the House of Representatives, where the 50 state delegations would each cast one vote to determine the president).

Obama’s goose is cooked.
Imagine Romney as President but the VP remains Slow Joe, now without adult supervision. It would almost be worth it for the entertainment value alone.
Then the screams and whines of stolen elections, threats against Republican Congressmen to embarrass them, or to get them out, etc etc etc.
But, but, the NYT tells me Obama has a 70% chance of winning! /s
The unions are coming, the unions are coming.
Union aims to organize the unemployed
http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/13/unionizing-the-unemployed/
The group is currently pushing passage of New Jersey Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg’s recent “21st Century WPA Act” to reinstate the New Deal employment program, and Ohio Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur’s attempt to rejuvenate another New Deal program with her “21st Century Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Act.”
Lautenberg’s bill would cost $250 billion through 2013;
LANDSLIDE COMING
The dims won’t just scream. They will sue FL over the voter roll “discrimination” and try to get the vote invalidated. It would be a huge cluster and no doubt the kenyan will incite ugly race riots.
Unfortunately, such narrow leads are just statistical noise. All it tells me is Romney is competitive, something I'd expect of almost any GOP nominee against this terrible a president.
But I wish this were October and not just June. I suppose SCOTUS’ Obamacare decision and their decision regarding Jan Brewer’s Illegal Immigration enforcement will be critical to momentum.
In a tie,
the democrats have control of 15 states
the republicans have control of 33 states
the other two (MN, NJ) are split
Its only going to get WORSE for obama as we still have 4-5 jobs reportings coming out. With higher weekly UE claims - July means another bad report.
Interestingly, there are more House republicans than House democrats for the state of Illinois.
Illinois would vote against Obama in a tiebreaker vote in the House.
What I would buy popcorn for everybody to see would be the states which entered into that stupid National Popular Vote pact being forced to vote for the GOP nominee even if the jackass carried their states. The looks on their faces would be priceless.
Obama’s goose is cooked.
Nah, Oblamea will give that important speech (important speech 3121) and instantly gain 50.
It sounds like the voters might be getting ready to “disenfranchise” Barry! Adios amigo!
Barack Obama reeks so badly that even traditional Democrat strongholds will be in play in November — and no traditional Republican stronghold is in serious danger of falling to Democrats. It could even look like the Reagan wipeout of Carter, though I cringe to think of how Mitt Romney will strut and preen thinking it was all about HIM. Oh look wow I’m the second Reagan, the first Mormon president, and the predicted Mormon savior of America. No you aren’t, stupid Mitt. You simply stink less than Barack Obama.
This has been the plan that dove tails perfectly with first causing the unemployment by breaking the private business sector, leading to the planned their unionization. Reportedly, Leo Gerard is taking unionization global to the already fiscally fallen countries abroad.
Pretty perfect timing to “never let a good crisis go to waste”. Anywhere.
Someone please explain the “tie”. They have Romney ahead in electoral votes aznd 2 states tied and not allotted. Would it be a tie if Obama wins those 2? Obviously it wouldn’t be if Romney wins them.
And how idiotic are most people in Pennsylvania? Oy.

In the sanctity of the Voting Booth, millions of voters who don’t want to appear racist to a pollster are going to vote for “Not Obama!”
It will be a landslide.
The joke’s on them, though. In the end, they’ll just get our Socialist.
Bums local 101!!!
I feel it could be a landslide as well, but we thought people lied to pollsters last election and look what happened.
If there was a tie for Vice President, the Senate would choose the new Vice President--so it is important that the Republicans get a majority in the Senate in the November 2012 election. The Senators would vote as individuals. That has happened only once before, in 1837.
Obama won’t be anywhere near 243 on election day.
The EC college will not be as blow out as other elections lost by such a large popular vote margin as Obama’s loss will be because of population distribution differences these days, but he has at most a 42-43% popular vote total, and that’s if he runs a perfect campaign.... and have you seen his campaign? Its anything but perfect.
Reality is, he keeps going the way he is going, he won’t hit 40% of the popular vote.
even with the vote stealing I am really beginning to think he is going to lose.
It's a big union state. Add to the 115% voter turnout in Philly. It's hard to overcome. There are a lot of cuts going on right now in PA. As usual, the dems are winning the PR war and making reps look bad.
Also the un-living, the un-documented, un-registered, and un-released felons.
I maintain that polling is inaccurate in this race, due to race: Many people will say they will vote for Obama so as not to appear “Racist” to the person taking the poll, and yet will vote for Romney when in the privacy of the voting booth.
On the other hand, it is probably best to keep in mind that this factor may be more than offset by systemic voter fraud from the Dems.
difficult to think Mitt is further ahead in Wisc than Fla. As the article says the polls were taken at different times. Mid July we’ll know if this is close or a blowout.
Please don't insult the Hispanics and he is no friend of mine. A better saying would be "Get your (&*G*&%&#&) black A$$ out of here"
Have to wonder with employed people in Wis choosing not to pay dues just how will they collect from the unemployed? This is just noise. Throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.
It is a sickening thought to see that so many people still support Bo. What a depraved society we have become.
“In the sanctity of the Voting Booth, millions of voters who don’t want to appear racist to a pollster are going to vote for “Not Obama!””
I hope you are right but that’s what we were thinking three and a half years ago.
Not only is that correct but this is the time of year when hiring would normally be happening. It ain’t-— and unless there is a large momentum change in the next 30 days or so then there is simply not enough time left before election for anything to happen that might make Obamuzzie look better than a low rent dumbass. And he will know a beating is coming so watch out for his frantic, last ditch, sewercide maneuvers
Yes , with 12 congressman as of 2013 NJ will mostly have 6D and 6R. Jon Runyan mostly favored to hold NJ-3
He better sweep by 300+ or there will be no “mandate” and Romney will rvert to RINO weakness, who am I kidding he will anyways...
“Unfortunately, such narrow leads are just statistical noise. All it tells me is Romney is competitive, something I’d expect of almost any GOP nominee against this terrible a president.”
Exactly.
I wouldn’t expect to see the polls “firm up” to the point where I could trust them as being a “stable representation” of how the vote looks to go until late September or early October.
Till then we can hope, but better not to be overly optimistic.
I expect to see post after post after post after post after post (had enough?) right here on FreeRepublic exclaiming how it’s going to be “a landslide”. I don’t expect that. Instead, I expect this to be a VERY close election (electoral-college-wise). It could even end up in the House….
We can only hope the Pretender has met his demise. I would even vote for Mickey Mouse, or Pat Paulsen before I would vote for the Illegal in the White Hut...
Oh, this should send the queer media, and the MSNBC Klux Klan spinning off into space.
Expect a new wave of even greater hate, lies, and ridicule now.
Look at Obama’s only re-election campaigns in 1998 and 2002.
In 1998 he ran unopposed in the Democratic primary and won the general election 89-11. Basically, unopposed.
In 2002 he ran unopposed in both the primary and general election.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois_Senate_elections_of_Barack_Obama
So he - and more importantly his team - have never had to really run a true ‘re-election’ campaign. Shows, doesn’t it.
Optimistic about a Romney presidency.
Now that says all you need to know about. . . .
Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmmm mm-Kenya)
We saw how effective the unions are a few weeks ago. Bwahaha.
When “The One” doesn’t win in November, there will be blood as his little beastie thugs will be outraged and take down and burn many inner cities across the country. Count on it. They are too stupid and too primal to control themselves.
Republican Leaning States:
Florida
Ohio
Virginia
Democrat Leaning States:
Pennsylvania
Wisconsin
Nevada
Toss-Up States:
Colorado
Iowa
New Hampshire
My feeling is Florida will go solidly Republican (Obama won by less than three points in 2008); Ohio will go Republican; and Virginia may prove tough (demographic changes since 2004).
Pennsylvania will be tough; Wisconsin is in play; and Nevada will likely go Republican.
Colorado will be close; Iowa will go Republican (Iowa has been trending more Republican); and Romney's proximity to New Hampshire will make New Hampshire a possibility.
I know that seeing Obama go down in flames would bring unspeakable joy to this conservative’s heart, but I think that more important is to keep dragging Congress rightward. Let’s gain solid majorities there, so that whether it is Obama or Romney, they will not get away with being fiscally irresponsible. Keep the pressure on!
Illinois and the other states have been redistricted for the next 10 yrs. By the RATs. I am not sure if the outgoing House or incoming House delegation would cast the vote.
I disagree with you that it will be close in the Electoral college, however I do expect that with the Media and others cherry picking polls, that it will seem to be a close race into October. Baring a surprise, I expect things to break Romney’s way late (actually just finally show what was there all along).
The real question is how many fraudulent votes can the Democrats manufacture.
I don’t care much for Romney, but my complete disdain of ODrama makes me hope so. It’s truly disappointing, though, to once again not be voting for a Candidate but against the other.
The plan is grassroots organizing to put more conservatives in Congress to control any liberal proclivities Mitt might have. Make his policies subject to Congressional approval. They can say “no” just as well to a Republican as a Democrat.
Also redouble efforts in state and local elections.
