Languish Presidential Election!

Romentum can't be stopped. God save us all.

Take heart.  Nate Silver said a couple days ago that the Mittmentum had stopped.

One interesting thing I've noticed about the polls is that the poll sponsored by the left-leaning Washington Post has Obama down by 3 while the one sponsored by the right-leaning Washington Times has Obama up by 3.

We must close the Poll Gap!

Btw anytime Seedy posts an article without a link I'm going to assume it's from The Onion.  In this case it was actually from a less authentic source: HuffPo.

It was the link provided on www.truethevote.org.  They're your people, man, not mine.

I have no official ties to that organization, sir.  Besides, it's still a HuffPo story!

Btw I love the "VOTO HONESTO" slogan.  Although technically legit, it sounds like some non-Spanish speaker trying to speak Spanish by adding "-o" to the end of each word.

but a Romney presidency will only make all of this worse!

Romney is change we can believe in.

He does change his mind often, yes.

Rasmussen has Wisconsin at 49-49.

John Sununu says Colin Powell's endorsement of the POTUS was race-based.

"Frankly, when you take a look at Colin Powell, you have to wonder whether that's an endorsement based on issues or whether he's got a slightly different reason for preferring President Obama," Sununu said.
"What reason would that be?" asked host Piers Morgan.
"I think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the United States, I applaud Colin for standing with him," Sununu said.

I'm voting for whitey.

Ah yes, the mulatto conspiracy.

Ah yes, the mulatto conspiracy.

Yes, that hypothesis certainly holds more water than, say, oh I don't know, a former Secretary of State being openly concerned with the Republican candidate's foreign policy vision.

But hey, he's a brutha!  TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR TRIBE

Apparently only Dems are allowed to have crazy conspiracies about race.

Nonsense.

Powell seems to have destroyed his legacy on both sides by failing to stop the Iraq war on one hand and then endorsing Obama twice on the other. He should have quietly retired after the Army or run for President in 1996. Powell defeated Clinton 50-38 in a hypothetical match-up proposed to voters in the exit polls conducted on Election Day.

I feel comfortable with these predictions: linky

Basically I think Romney is going to get those 261 for sure, then it comes down to Wisconsin, Iowa, and Ohio.

What I think will happen is sort of akin to how Truman won in 1948 in the electoral college, three states (for Truman, California, Illinois, and Ohio) went for Truman by less than a 1% margin (less than like 60,000 total votes) and won him the electoral college and another term.

I suspect Obama will basically have that happen, those three states will break for him in close elections and he wins 277-261. However I predict unlike Truman-Dewey, Obama does not drub Romney in the popular vote. That will be the closest it's been since 2000 and possibly we'll have the winner of the popular vote be Romney.
