He probably didn’t know about the felons being allowed to vote or the found ballots in trunks. That should have NEVER happened. Coleman should have fought longer then we might have discovered those felons voting sooner, when it mattered.

269 is too close - Obummer could bribe/blackmail a Romney elector

Megyn Kelly had him on her show either Wednesday or Thursday and said, “see you on Tuesday.” She is having her regular 1-3 show and will host election coverage. I don’t know whether she was referring to her own show or election coverage but I guess there’s a 50-50 chance she will be seeing him when she hosts election coverage.

The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans live in the real world - we face reality, even when it’s harsh. In 2008, we didn’t see these predictions...Republicans knew Obama would win and they didn’t try to hide that fact - they just called it like they saw it.

In 2012, the opposite is happening. Barone and Rove, as well as many other respected pundits are calling it for Romney. Liberals are affirming that Obama will win - but I expect that. No matter how bad it looks, liberals never face reality and will maintain that Obama is winning until about 11pm on November 6th when Mitt and Paul reach 270. Actually they probably won’t admit it even then.

Bottom line: These pundits know their stuff. They aren’t basing it on some fatally flawed monte carlo simulator that I could have built in 10th grade (read: Nate Silver) - they are basing it on years of field experience. I trust them.

though unfortunately he was wrong about Norm Coleman getting reelected.

No he was right, but Frankin, Rats, MSM and unfortunately Coleman himself let Frankin steal it in plain sight.
Coleman really won, but Barone didn't consider Rats being crooked, that was his only fault on his prediction.

“we want criminal prosecutions followed by death sentences where warranted.”

It’ll never happen. Obama, et al., will skate, no matter who wins on Tuesday.

Barone pretty much predicted Obama at 353 electoral votes (see final paragraph). He just didn’t come right out and say it was his prediction, probably so as to not deflate everyone.

Barone is an astonishing source of detailed data. He can name the preceincts (not the region or state or city, the precincts) in every state and their voting history. When the obama fraud is played this time, I would hope that Barone will nail the bastards based upon his detailed knowledge of voting trends at precinct levels. ... But then I was counting on Breitbart to continue exposing the little bastard commie degenrate rug-addled barry and we see what happened there.

In 2004, intensity among rural, small -town and evangelical voters, undetected by political reporters who don’t mix in such circles, produced a narrow Bush victory.

This doesn’t even make much sense. There is a good reason predictions aren’t left up to political reporters or insular media types. Pollsters are who should be catching these critical segments of Romney’s coalition.

HOLY GUACAMOLE ! this seals it for me

I was guessing 301 to 321 EVs but that is not scientific, just having seen a lot of elections

Thanks. I hope we see lots of him because when he makes the call we’ll know it’s right. He is the Swami of all thing political.

>> 269 is too close <<

For sure. It would mean Romney elected POTUS by the House, and Biden elected VP by the Senate!

We are... I feel it in my bones. The only way that obama can win is to depress Mitt's voter turnout... and the only way to do that is to demoralize them so that they do not vote... and too many here are falling for it. Look at the crowds... clinton, obama and biden were in NINE states today... and Mitt is drawing THREE times the number of attendees in Ohio tonight... than the grand total of everyone that came out to see all three dim demons today. Hurricane Sandy is killing obama with all of the bad news coming out of the NE. This has blown up on obama and christie worse than the War on Women did.
