President Barack Obama is poised to eke out a victory in the race for the 270 electoral votes needed to win re-election, having beaten back Republican Mitt Romney’s attempts to convert momentum from the debates into support in all-important Ohio, according to an Associated Press analysis a week before Election Day...

The biased media begins to cover their ass by paragraph four:

To be sure, anything can happen in the coming days to influence the Nov. 6 election.

The AP analysis isn’t intended to predict the outcome. Rather, it’s meant to provide a snapshot of a race that has been stubbornly close in the small number of competitive states all year. The analysis is based on public polls and internal campaign surveys as well as spending on television advertising, candidate visits, get-out-the-vote organizations and interviews with dozens of Republican and Democratic strategists in Washington and in the most contested states.

How can Obama have the electoral edge if everything I’ve been seeing especially from Rasmussen gives Romney a 5% lead (presumably in voter headcount in representative distribution)? Can there be that much disparity between an evenly sampled popular vote and the electoral count?

Obviously the WaPo cares not a whit about future credibility beyond this election.

They’ve plunked down all their chips on Obama Term 2.0.
Either that happens and the dead tree media gets a bailout, or it’s Game Over.

.... I disagree, seems more like laying the ground work for a stolen close election! See, folks it should be no surprise when the 10,000 0bamao lawyers challenge every close state and find hundreds of new ballots to tip the race to the CommieObammy... FL 2000 all over again times 50.

ymmv

No, there is never that much difference between the popular vote and the electoral vote.

And they are not basing anything on Rasmussen. Consider the source...the WAPO. They ignore Rasmussen. And anything else they don’t like.

And for example, they also ignore THIS, although Battleground with Ed Goas has a great track record:

A friend of mine noted: no sitting President has ever won re-election with less votes than he received the first time around. And there aint not way Zero is going to accomplish that in this election.

Michael Barone says Romney is going to win. That’s all I need to know.

The Chick-Fil-A poll says otherwise.

I am sickened by the prospect of a second Obama term. However, I think Romney will pull it off, but I still wory.

The most interesting thing about Ohio is that the Dems are not performing well in the early voting especially in the big Dem counties- Cuyahoga and Franklin. This can be explained by a Republican Gov Kaisich cleaning up the voter rolls (less fraud) and reduced interest in the election among key 0bama demo groups (Blacks, college kids).
The AP is playing their only card left to salvage their messiah; they have already conceeded the popular vote.

The Ministry of Truth seems to be under the mistaken impression that it can avert the coming landslide.
