Charlie Cook’s info is dated - every one agrees FL, NC, VA, CO are now solid Romney states.

He’ll probably win OH, WI and IA as well.

Its not going to be close at all.

Sorry, Charlie - you’re dead wrong!

Not really. It’s going to be a landslide. Romney is already ahead of where Reagan was in 1980. Mitt would have to praise Hitler to lose this at this point.

The article was written on October 11th. It is crap.

Charlie Cook wrote this article to try to convince himself as much as anyone else that his Obamessiah still has hope. Fail.

I also thought the article was dated but check again. It was written this afternoon. He must have been locked in a closet all day, away from current events, as his statement that Obama “still holds a fragile lead in the Electoral College” has long since gone!

Never underestimate the ability of the Republican party to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

There’s a poll out tonight showing Romney up 4 in Pennsylvania.

“Not really. It’s going to be a landslide.”

I concur.

I believe that’s correct; Michigan and PA are coming too.

The only way there won’t be riots and upheaval in this country is if Obama loses resoundingly.

If not, the only people to get any pleasure out of an election aftermath will be the lawyers.

I read the other day that Romney might swipe an EV in Maine's 2nd District. Maine's election laws allow for split results, kind of like Nebraska in 2008 and Virginia in 1972.

According to the latest poll, Obama has the overall lead in Maine, 48-44; but in the 2nd District, Romney has a 49-44 lead.

I don’t get the landslide talk. There is nothing that Obama can do that will prevent him from winning at least 200 EVs.
