If I were to believe this poll in its current form, which I don't, it still shows “Vote Against” Romney at 23% which probably means that they are Conservatives making a statement but will ultimately vote for him.

With past polling history I can guarantee that Romney is actually up by at least 5% right now and Obama knows it which is why he threw that Gay Marriage Red Herring out there yesterday.

“Northern VA is reliably Dem now”

This should not be forgotten and may tip the state to the kenyan in the election. It is sad to see Fairfax County now a bastion of Democratic Socialism.

I wish I knew. Alaska comes to mind. Quite defensible if TSHTF. I know some have left altogether and are living in Central America.

I can’t speak for the other states...but Washington is as solidly liberal as California. Washington will go for Obama by a moderate but solid margin. Washington is reliably Democrat, enviornmentalist, pro-union and very pro-gay. None of these by a huge margin but by a very solidly reliable and unassailable margin. And every year it trends even more solidly Democrat. If Reagan were running today both Carter and Mondale would carry Washington, even against him, easily and solidly.

Maybe NJ, NH and MA are possibly in play. I think WI might be in play, same with PA. I’d me astounded if MI and WA don’t go all the way for Zero. Any northern state with a major urban core is going to be a long shot for a Republican. Between the dependent parasite masses, the prog True Believers and the Dem fraud machine those places are going to give Zero overwhelming numbers of votes.

The best we can hope for is that they stay home. 90%+ of them who get to a voting booth will pull the lever for the Dem, no matter what he does or what he stands for. Donks = Dollars. Its a simple pocketbook vote.

A Republican can still win VA, but it will require high turnout downstate. Republican turnout was depressed in 2008. I don’t think it will be this year. But Fairfax and Loudon will glow blue on the map, you can guarantee it.

Well Obama shot himself in the feet yesterday when he came out for gay marriage.

Still wouldn't most have already thought he favored "gay" "marriage"? People just lack knowledge.

The fact that he holds any lead at all is vomit worthy. I truly don’t anticipate him losing ground either to be perfectly honest.

I know most do, I’m not one of them. I actually think he’ll gain in support as we move towards November simply because Romey is so awful. Sickening.

That’s Hillary Clinton’s favorite story. She famously referred to it during her tirade against “the vast right-wing conspiracy that attacked my husband from the beginning of his campaign”. He talks about “the turtle on the post” a lot too.

Alaska is a possibility. I still think Montana and Idaho still look good.

The only way I will leave America is feet first with my boots on. She is too valuable to abandon.

We have the GOP-e on offense, and Romney’s the pitcher.

It’s enough to make a true conservative weep.

Maybe it's time for you to get a Mitt and get in the game.

“Fairfax and Loudon will glow blue on the map, you can guarantee it.”

I guess it’s partly my fault. Back in the ‘90’s I worked for Trader Joe’s and helped open the first few TJ’s in NOVA. Loudon back then was mostly farmland and now it is full of dim bulb dems!

My father-in-law having died, my mother-in-law has now made Aliya to live with us. Two Obama votes taken out of the calculation (only a fringe benefit), and yet another argument for extended family, rather than nuclear familettes.
