Call the Electoral Vote

[Syt]

Lewis Black in 2000, i.e. 12 years ago:

In my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We've gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in twelve years, we'll be voting for plants.

My best guess is that President Obama wins, 310-228.

It could be much closer than that, but even if you give Governor Romney Florida, Virginia, and North Carolina, he still needs to carry either Ohio or Pennsylvania to win, and I don't think he can.  Even worse for him, he could carry 1 of those 2 and still lose.

Obama takes it 303-235.

Finally, if the Bradley effect and campaign internal polling are as bad as I suspect:

Yes we should count something that may or may not have actually happened thirty years ago as a significant factor in this election.

[Gups]

Romney wins Fl and NC. Obama the rest of the swing states. Can't be bothered working it out, you do the map.

I'm gonna say 269-269 with small romney leads in Virginia, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada.

Wishful thinking there.

Fuck if I know.  Interesting that Phil, who has been trumpeting Pro-Romney polls for the last three weeks is giving it to Obama.

Romney carries NC, VA and FL. 
He wins Wisconsin in a historic "hey, let's keep fucking ourselves over, we have been the last 2 years, why stop now" continuation of the state's War Against Government, Labor and Women we've watched for the last 4 years. 
Enough people stay home in Pennsylvania, worried about whether or not they're even allowed to fucking vote anymore after all the bullshit this summer, and Romney carries it in a squeaker.
Colorado is contested and goes Romney, after enduring the same state GOP shenanigans the last 3 months that Florida went through in 2000.

Romney 287, Obama 251.

I'm already calling for robe and slippers fittings.

Having Biden in charge might be fun.

I think it comes down to a few thousand votes in the key states, but Obama wins several of them and takes the election.

I don't trust state Republicans in charge of electoral processes.

A tie means that the new congress votes. A 50-50 senate means biden breaks the tie.
