George Will predicts 321-217 Romney landslide

Posted By Jeff Poor On 11:21 AM 11/04/2012 @ 11:21 AM In DC Exclusives,DC Exclusives - Video,Politics | No Comments

Add Washington Post George Will to the landslide column along with Fox News Channel’s Dick Morris and the Washington Examiner’s Michael Barone.

On this weekend’s broadcast of “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” on ABC, Will revealed his prediction and added a bonus surprise by saying traditional Democratic state Minnesota would go for Romney as well.

“I’m projecting Minnesota to go for Romney,” Will said. “It’s the only state that’s voted democratic in nine consecutive elections, but this year, there’s marriage amendment on the ballot that will bring out the evangelicals and I think could make the difference.”

I think Obama may steal Ohio but lose Pennsylvania, stunning the insiders.

Obama courted Ohio for four years, then put an enormous amount of his campaign funds and personal effort into Ohio this election season. He carpeted Ohio with advertisements slandering Romney to the point where every inch of ground gained now requires a herculean effort.

Romney has just side-stepped Ohio into Pennsylvania where no such effort has been made by Team Obama.

Political jiu-jitsu.

I've wondered about that. BO has poured a huge amount of money, direct, union, etc, into Ohio. A lot of that money might have done better elsewhere. But I'm pretty sure that Mr "corpse-man" has never heard of a Phyrric Victory.

Funny how NONE are predicting a landslide for Zer0.

Actually, I think Eleanor Clift did.

There is no way Minnesota will go Romney ...

Obama's margin of victory in 2008 in Minnesota was roughly the same as Iowa, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. It was also well below Michigan and Wisconsin. It also has favorable demographics. Minnesota is definitely in play.

I agree.

While I’m cautiously optimistic, I find myself nervously seeing an 0bama win or a Romney landslide.

Like sitting on a knifes edge where the tipping point may come from an unexpected place.

I hope that the 2010 Tea Party enthusiasm will make the difference.

The same state that voted for Al Franken?

I don’t think Ohio is at all in Obama’s column.

The coal counties in Ohio were traditionally democratic. I don’t believe they will go for Obama this time.

Ohio is such a fine balance of voting regions for democrat/republican that any deviation from that spells loss for their normal side. Since their normal side is democrat, then the loss will go to the democrats.

“The main thing which is different now from 72 is the thing about the pigs all calling themselves demoKKKrats in recent years.”

I say also the internet, which allows The People to report the news (Benghazi being the latest example) that the main stream media would rather have us forget.

Also, the absence of the Fairness Doctrine, allowing freedom of speech on the radio.

If you judge a state on one single senate race, then there are very few winnable states. The bottom line is that McCain did relatively well there, and so it is not surprising to see that it is close.

I love the sound and look of those numbers, but I am no longer inclined to believe ANY of the predictions or the polls....

Actually Fraken did not win the election. The "found votes" the Democrat machine magically discovered in St Paul and Minneapolis after the election elected him.

The best I can say about Will is that he’s leading the pack in the Me-too crowd. Glenn Beck’s guys on The Blaze did this research weeks ago and these numbers are what they call “best case”. Give Will and his genius friends a little credit for not wanting to sound like complete fools when the election doesn’t come out 49-49. And by the way-——nobody’s talking about California. There’s enough PO’d dems there to swing 55 electoral numbers to Romney/Ryan which would drive the head of that nail clear thru Obamuzzie’s bonehead where it belongs.

Colorado and Florida are in the bag. Iowa and Wisconsin really don’t matter. This is down to Virginia and Ohio as our best route. I would be stunned if we lose VA or OH, but win PA, MI, or MN.
