Considering the way that Obama has crapped all over Las Vegas during and since his last run for President, it’s bizarre and self-defeating that anyone connected with Casino business would support Obama.

2008 Barone:

If, as seems likely but not quite certain, Barack Obama is elected next Tuesday, a key question for public policymaking will be how many Democrats are elected to the Senate.

The above article raises an interesting observation. 4 years ago the pundits were writing about who would win seats in the Senate because the race was essentially over.

I think what will be talked about after this election is not just the over counting of democrats in polls BUT also the under counting of value voters. Value voters such as Evangelical and fiscal conservatives are going to be out in force. Remember what happened with Chick-fil-a this summer? That was all grass roots and that intensity is alive and well today. Both Catholics and Protestants know what a second term for “the chair” will bring. I have not seen these groups this energized in any election since 1980.

I love to watch and listen to Michael Barone. There is plenty going on behind those slowly blinking eyes. Watch carefully. That twitching mouth is anticipating what he is about to say. What he usually says reveals his genius. I believe he is correct this year. Romney will win and it will not be all that close.

How much of a dick zero still is, and anyone who still supports him and his ilk.

From all I’ve read, Barone is as good as it gets when it comes to election analysis.

..there is no one better than Barone

Having said that, I think he may be wrong on Nevada...

Not as good as the math genius Nate Silver. Barone cannot even translate his forecast to the first decimal and Nate can run his numbers to the eleventh decimal.

My electoral map is exactly the same as Barone's except I also gave Minnesota to Romney. So I had Romney at 325.

My biggest concerns at this time is how Sandy will affect the election, and what depth the democrats will go to steal the election.

Pennsylvania (20). Everyone would have picked Obama two weeks ago. I think higher turnout in pro-coal western Pennsylvania and higher Republican percentages in the Philadelphia suburbs could produce a surprise. The Romney team evidently thinks so too. Their investment in TV time is too expensive to be a mere feint, and as this is written, Romney is planning a Sunday event in Bucks County outside Philly. Wobbling on my limb, Romney.

Update on this...the place was jammed: 20k to 30k and people have told me all kinds of people, families with kids notwithstanding the cold. To me, it sounded like Chick-Fil-A all over again.

Barone is great, and I think he may just be right about PA.

I believe George Will predicted about the same.

Make it so!
