That puts Romney well within striking distance if true.

Lets also pray the exit polls are skewed left once again.

If accurate, that is 11-point swing from last year. Now we need a solid Romney margin from today’s voters to put him over the top.

Since Obama got 14% more votes than good old what’s his name in 2008, an 11% swing is not enough ~ Romney has to get numbers like “W” to overcome the Dem advantage.

That's who showed up for Chick-Fil-A appreciation day.

That was just practice for today.

Obama beat McCain by 7 in 2008.

let me do some math for you ~ mcCain got 59 mil. obama got 69 million. The difference is 10 million. That 10 million is just under 15% of mcCain's 59 million which means obama got 14% more votes than did mcCain.

Now, you do your math and give me your results.
