Romney Wins on Tuesday
National Review ^ | 11/6/12 | Josh Jordan

Posted on 11/05/2012 2:31:35 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

State by state, here’s how it’ll happen.

...I’m going to make my predictions on this race based on more than just the polls. Over the past few months there have been many indicators that this race is going to be drastically different from the one we saw in 2008 — Romney’s crowd sizes, volunteer efforts, fundraising efforts, and a change in the Obama campaign from presenting the candidate as an uplifting symbol of hope to presenting him as a beleaguered president trying to claw his way to reelection.

First, I believe Romney will squeeze out a popular-vote win of about two percentage points: 50.5 to 48.5 (I’m assuming about 1 percent of the vote will go third party). This margin will be enough for Romney to win the Electoral College...

My final Electoral College prediction is 305 for Romney to 233 for Obama. We’ll find out in two days how close I am, but if Republicans come out Tuesday like the party-identification polls from Gallup and Rasmussen have predicted, I feel confident that Romney is going to shock the conventional wisdom set by the media and be announced as the next president of the United States.

Nothing has gotten into him... nothing but whatever is edible and within arms length. You are seeing the real deal... and it is not a pretty sight.

I think we are mixing wishfull thinking with wishfull thinking. There is a distinct possibility that the Kenyan might win by a hair, God forbid but it IS a possibility so let’s keep our heads up and our hands on the wheel...

Agreed. It shouldn't be this close and I have always contended that the mistake Romney made was allowing Obama to pound him all summer with no meaningful response.

The question is whether the "R"s turn out to match the "D"S, since independents are clearly trending Romney. If they do then Obama should be gone.

Obama is a walking disaster and a terrible leader. He is decimating the military and Benghazi shows the results of combining weakness, cowardliness and lack of integrity. With a son heading for the Middle East in December I am quite concerned that this loser get another 4-years. Simply put, this guy cares more about his image in history then the lives of brave Americans fighting to keep our country safe. That is frightening.

I think that we are listening to pros like Barone and Rove... men that have NEVER made predictions of a win unless it was true. Rove telegraphed his 2006 loss well before the election... he did not sugar coat it... Barone predicted an obama win... and these men... along with others... have sound reasoning and science on their side. We see the momentum and we see it only on one side... and Sandy has damaged obama more than you can know... 2 good days does not trump 6 days of death, destruction and people receiving nothing from obama but lie after lie. You cannot drink, eat, wear or sleep in a lie. If obama were a sitting Republican president... facing this same exact election... you and the press would be publishing his eulogy.

Agreed 100% and as an American who lives in Israel, I have to tell you that the very prospect of Obama for another 4 years in terrifying for us here. Not only has he stripped the USA of the ability to wage the terror war, he has emasculated the military and pushed Israel into a do or die corner. Islam resurgent via the Islamic Brotherhood is a threat to the planet and Iran is hoping America will re-elect this worse than Carter President. So, we are praying Mitt gets the pick!

Votes cast have to add up to 100%, you cannot vote “undecided” or “present”.

Agreed #2.

As someone else said, that this election is even close is a statement on how totally deceived and clueless half our nation is - and that is a much greater problem than the man they support and elected exists.

The man elected by them is a symptom, and we can deal with the symptom occasionally, but if we don’t deal with the root cause of the disease, we are toast. It’s only a matter of time.

What is the disease? Primarily it is that we have abandoned God. Even conservatives (how strong are those who hate us who are against abortion?).

Abandoning God resulted in the takeover of our education system, and then the media.....the only two sources for everything known by almost a majority of our nation.......

Sal Tessio hedging his bet. We all know how that worked out.

No lunch tomorrow, I'll be poll watching in W PA in a RAT's nest.

Hopefully, we will prevent some fraud, and if the demonRATS in Philly don't turn out in full force at 110%, we have a good chance to win in PA.
