Two polls, Survey USA and Elon University, show Obama falling behind and losing ground.

So why are the 'Rat drones so cocky about carrying NC in 2016 on "demographic change"? What, there wasn't enough "demographic change" since Terry Sanford came into office, to keep the State voting 'Rat?

Or is their an undertow among all voters of wising-up to the 'Rat agenda?

NC voters seem to have puked all over Barry's gayfest/abortfest/Muzziefest this time.

I moved away from “Fartin’ Martin” O’Malley and the Maryland S.S.R. across the river into “NOVA”, where my state delegate had to resign because he cheated on his wife and his ‘rat successor won the special election by a 75-20-5 margin, and the state senator is a Barney Frank wannabe (homosexual, socialist, ethnic Jew). The ‘Rats even have a city council member in Alexandria named, get this, Redella Pepper (she goes by “Del”, should have gone by “Red”).

I wish I could be as optimistic as you on Virginia. Sadly, our governor (who is a college classmate of mine) places a higher law enforcement priority on enforcing the HOV-3 lanes on the local freeways than he does on making sure military have absentee ballots or fighting voter fraud. I have thought about voting for Virgil Goode, but the presence of Paul Ryan on the ticket convinced me to vote for Willard.

Interestingly, Romney can be elected president even if he loses the Old Dominion. Assuming he wins all the states McCain/Palin won in 2008 plus North Carolina and Indiana, Romney wins 273-265 if he carries Florida, Ohio, New Hampshire and either (i) Michigan or (ii) both Wisconsin and Iowa. If he loses New Hampshire, we have a 269-269 tie and the election is thrown into the House of Representatives. This possibility makes congressional open seat elections in Montana and North Dakota and the newly created seat in Nevada crucially important, since the vote in the house is by state delegation, not by individual representatives, and a candidate needs to control 26 state delegations to win.

I live in NC and I don't see Obama winning here, no matter how well he did in 2008. The current governor (the least popular governor in the US!) was forced to resign by the White House because she might drag down his ticket and her Lt. Governor is being shellacked in the recent polls by the man who would have been Governor if Obama hadn't been in the race and pulled out the minority/felon/student vote.

One of the things that killed her popularity was her staunch support for Obamacare (and, frankly, all things Obama). This doesn't bode well for the creator of Obamacare when he comes stumping for votes.

Well I don’t necessarily think willard wins the election. I do think he wins the south.

Ironic to be sure.

If willard loses VA and FL its because he lost the election in a rout anyway.

I think PA is in the “cede to hussein” column.

Due to the similar thin margins you can add Indiana and Nebraska CD 2.

Obama has no chance to win any of them this time.

As to “demographic shifts” vis-a-vis 2016 it was claimed by democrats some years ago that “Texas will be a swing state by 2008”.
