Steve Forbes: Romney Will Win Decisively (321 EVs)
Forbes ^ | 11/06/2012 | Steve Forbes

Posted on 11/06/2012 2:06:32 PM PST by nhwingut

Mitt Romney will win big tonight. His popular vote margin will be between 3 – 5%. He will win the Electoral College I believe by a vote of 321 to 217, and with luck, even more. He will win all of the states McCain carried in 2008 which will give him 180 electoral votes. He will also carry the three states that normally go Republican that in 2008 went for Obama – Indiana, North Carolina and Virginia. That brings him to 219. He will also take Florida, which will bring him to 248 votes. Although the Obama campaign will deny it, it effectively wrote off Virginia and Florida several days ago.

Despite intense efforts, Obama will lose both Ohio and Pennsylvania. In Ohio the voter turnout for Republicans will be more like 2004 instead of 2008. Southeastern Ohio has a number of evangelical voters and the area also has a coal industry. Romney should win the state by up to 200,000 votes. He will also win Pennsylvania where he has not been damaged by a long-lasting barrage of negative ads.

Romney should also win narrowly in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado. He even has a chance to take Nevada. That gives him 321 electoral votes.

I don’t listen to any of them for a reason. None of them are actually out in the wild, so to speak.

I have a sinking feeling that once the gas prices fell almost 60 cents in the past 3 weeks that Romney wasn’t winning Ohio.

Mitt Romney will win big tonight.

What the hell have you been smoking Steve? What a disaster for the USA!

Clinton made it acceptable to wag his finger at the populace and lie and now Obama has made it acceptable to fail at a job and be retained without consequence. What wonderful examples those two POS are to the youth of this country and the people of the world. SPIT!!!!!!!

Steve Forbes also stated why the polls are off — the mistakes the polling folks are making.

????? Polls were 100 percent accurate mostly. I am not sure what you are trying to say here.

I haven't seen a spectacularly wrong prediction like this since the days of "Criswell Predicts".

lol. No kidding. What a damn joke. This whole election was a disaster. I love everyone trying to say it was a great campaign. No Romney was an idiot like I predicted.

Wisdom after the event — the only polls that were wrong appear to be Fox, Rasmussen and Gallup

They weren't wrong, they just didn't, and don't have even the vaguest understanding as to the extent of democrat cheating. The democrats had so much confidence that they were going to win they didn't even care if there wasn't enthusiasm, crowds or anything else. They knew that they had the old strategy for cheating and some new ones that we don't even know about. The next election will likely be the same unless something drastic happens.

They actually glory in cheating just like they do every other sin. They are becoming more wicked every day.
