Mitt-I-don’t-care-about-the-poor-Romney will probably lose.
Too bad the GOP is fixing to put up Obama’s dream candidate against him. Romney should be Obama’s running mate not opposition candidate!
This is very misleading. With 270 electoral votes needed, Obama starts off with over 200 electoral votes in the bag where he doesn’t have to spend a dime: CA, NY, WA, WI, ME, DE, CT, IL, MA, NJ, are in the bag so to speak. He needs 70 more to put him over the top. Several former red states are now blue or trending blue. FL went for Obama in 2008. If the tide were to shift, however slightly, and a purple state falls into the blue column, its all over for Republicans. This is why we need a candidate who can appeal to blue-collar Reagan democrats and will not lose the crucial female vote. Don’t write off Santorum especially if he gets a win in MO. Gingrich is not on the ballot in MO.
And it looks like its very uphill for Gingrich to clinch the nomination. See this analysis below.

No wonder we end up with Romney’s and idiots in the GOP. (NOT shooting the OP messenger at all here) =) On what planet do you make predictions on state approval numbers? Anyone seen Romney approval numbers? They make Obama look like he’s Dwight Eisenhower after D-Day. Just today there was a poll putting. Ras’s daily tracking poll has Obama up 5 over Romney and 13 over Gingrich. And the GOP taking Oregon? Really?
Sick of the Elite trying to manipulate and suck us in assuming we are stupid. I mean has ANYONE predicted a state going Red or Blue based not on head to head, but on one Party’s candidate’s approval? And Romney is WAY below Obama in approval across the board.
Again, not taking this out on the OP but this is the kind of thinking that gets us the wrong candidates and loses elections for us.
*heavy sigh*
Looks like Ohio, Penna, and Florida are where all the campaign money will be spent in the fall.
Can we figure out how to make money on this?
Any media stocks there we can buy?
lol I need that bumper sticker.
No way Florida is going for Obama this year.
Maybe with such a landslide they can put the Dims back to red and the Republicans back to blue like they used to be.
As an Indiana resident, I’d bet my next Social Security check that Baraq is toast here.
Maybe someone can help with the photo posting. Here is a good link.

They won't have any choice if Romney gets the nomination.
0bama or 0bama-white.

I think your list is fairly generous. Obama will not have WI, ME, or NJ in the bag. He will have to put resources into these states. He is favored in all three states, but he will have to earn it. All three states have elected Republicans statewide over the past two year, and while they are likely to stay blue, there are going to be contested early. Also, you are starting 2012 as if the results of 2008 are current. States like Florida, Virginia and many mid-western states have gone significantly rightward since inauguration day. These states are more likely GOP in 2012 unless Obama can turn the tide. His numbers are upside down in most critical states currently. He has a lot of money to work with so the battle is basically to re-win the 2004 Bush states...OH, MO, NV, FL, VA.
Here is more support of the notion that we used to be the blue states and the dims were commie red.

Works for me.
