If the USA Today admits to a tie, then the truth is probably far, far worse for BHO.

I'm not awfully sure that some of the "toss-up" states are really "toss-ops" any more. But they probably can't bring themselves to say that Romney is actually leading in the EV count now.

Barack will be freaking out on Tuesday. He has no game and will do a JoJo the Clown routine.

North Carolina is either lean or solid for Romney so it is R 206 to O 201. However, it is really worse than this for Obama.

Just ask yourself when looking at that graphic, is CT and Me closer to flipping or is GA and MT? Is AZ or is MN?

Try IL 1998 Senate (Fitzgerald vs. Moseley-Braun). Everybody except Amb. Keyes realized he was being used, and he never received proper backing.

Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, and North Carolina would get it done!

I would have agreed with you after supporting Newt-Cain-Perry in the primaries. I really felt that Newt could blow away Obama in the debates. Well, guess what? Mitt devastated Obama in the first (most watched) debate. I’m now not so sure that any of my previous choices could attract the mushy middle and even come within 8 points of beating the commie regime.

I think what muawiyah wants is an actual Conservative with the record to match the rhetoric... not an “etch-a-sketch” phony.
