Steve Forbes: Romney Will Win Decisively (321 EVs)
Forbes ^ | 11/06/2012 | Steve Forbes

Posted on 11/06/2012 2:06:32 PM PST by nhwingut

Mitt Romney will win big tonight. His popular vote margin will be between 3 – 5%. He will win the Electoral College I believe by a vote of 321 to 217, and with luck, even more. He will win all of the states McCain carried in 2008 which will give him 180 electoral votes. He will also carry the three states that normally go Republican that in 2008 went for Obama – Indiana, North Carolina and Virginia. That brings him to 219. He will also take Florida, which will bring him to 248 votes. Although the Obama campaign will deny it, it effectively wrote off Virginia and Florida several days ago.

Despite intense efforts, Obama will lose both Ohio and Pennsylvania. In Ohio the voter turnout for Republicans will be more like 2004 instead of 2008. Southeastern Ohio has a number of evangelical voters and the area also has a coal industry. Romney should win the state by up to 200,000 votes. He will also win Pennsylvania where he has not been damaged by a long-lasting barrage of negative ads.

Romney should also win narrowly in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado. He even has a chance to take Nevada. That gives him 321 electoral votes.

Hope, growth, and opportunity!

It’s the only thing I can ever remember from his run in 1996. I’ve always wondered why he never tried again.

The senate is within our grasp if early turnout reports are correct. This could be a great night!

I agree with Forbes.

MI will go to Obama because of Detroit and Ann Arbor.

Does this mean the Hollywood communists will finally leave the country so we don’t have to listen to their bs any longer? Please let it be.

So, when Romney wins, is he gonna recreate the “Dewey Defeats Truman” pose by holding an iPad displaying Nate Silver’s blog?

Steve Forbes cites the enthusiasm for Romney as a factor.

Steve Forbes also stated why the polls are off -- the mistakes the polling folks are making.

Steve Forbes is calling for Romney/Ryan for President/Vice President.

Steve Forbes is calling for the Republicans to get control of the senate.

And the House will probably be strongly Republican.

If Steve is correct, I wonder how bad this whipping will be on the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party was saying the Tea Party is history.

Maybe the Tea Party can start replacing the Democratic Party...

I hope Romney creates an "Office of the President Elect" just to rub obummer's nose in it until January :-)

Not just Nate Silver. I want the entire media to pay. They tried to steal this election by covering up everything negative for Obama. The economy, Benghazi.....they repeated his many lies about the auto bailout, the death of Al Qaida......on and on and on. Then they came out with all their baloney polls to try and seal it. I want blood.

..just got word from family back in Texas with connections to the oil industry

The president of a particular oil company was invited to get on his jet and fly to Boston tonight for Romney's victory party--sounds like they are extremely confident...

The best solution would be for the House to re-establish the old Committee on Un-American Activities. I would suggest Allen West for Chairman.

The first order of business would be a congressional investigation of the Mainstream Media and the polling organizations.
