Again, WHO THE HELL is Nate Silver and why does he carry so much weight when it comes to polls? AND why is he tearing apart the Gallup poll just to suit the RATS fears....WHO IS HE and why is he of importance??

Assuming he gets FL, VA and CO, Mitt can make up for OH with these combos...

PA or MI
NV, IA and NH
NV, IA and 1 EV from Maine
WI and any one of the above states

Where are you getting your early voting numbers? A lot of the polls in Ohio have Obama with a huge early vote lead, similar to 08.

Not at all similar. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/10/19/GOPs-Ohio-Advantage

Difference is 7 points (from 20 in 08) and falling. Based on absentees, it could be nearly completely wiped out.

I know. I live in California, too. We can’t balance our budget, drive business away, pay huge pensions to state workers, and we still vote the dip-poop Dems back in every election. It’ll stay this way until one day the state gos bankrupt. When that day finally arrives, I’m sure some how it will be blamed on the republicans.

Search mine And his screenname. Then you’ll be smarter than 90% of the pollsters and pundits. Also follow @adrian_gray ontwitter. Again that will settle your nerves. Why stress over one poll when 25% of the data is already available based on early/absentee voting.

Will do. I’ve seen some of the absentee ballot posts, I guess the media can still dampen my spirits, even when I know they spew nonsense.

I’m just dreaming of November 6th, when Romney wins Ohio, and the celebrations can begin.

I just heard on Fox that there is a new study showing that cell phones cause brain cancer, which leads me to wonder if Obama phones are going to wipe out democratic voters?

So, with a +8 Dem sample, when it’ll really be a +1 GOP on election day, Romney is actually ahead 51-38 with 11% undecided. With 75% of the undecideds breaking towards the challenger, that means Romney wins Ohio 59-41.

Obama will get no more than 35% of the popular vote and will not carry even one state. He may carry non states like DC, PR or even Guam, but not one state and no more than 35% of the popular vote.

I like the way you think..............but you should still get help:)

Maybe we’re worrying too much. From the beginning, Mitt Romney has run his campaign like a marathon, conserving hundreds of millions of his campaign dollars for the final push in the final weeks, while Obama has spent most of his campaign money as soon as it’s come in.

The current polls in Ohio are being conducted before Mitt Romney’s airforce has come in to carpet bomb the state with ads.

We’re also not taking into account the full implications of the significantly lower requests by Democrats for absentee ballots in large Democratic centers like Cuyahoga County compared to 2008.

If Democrats are not applying for as many absentee ballots as they did in 2008, it likely means they’re fed up with Obama and don’t intend to vote for him. But there also must be many Democratic voters who are similarly fed up with Obama and for that reason intend to vote for Romney. The situation concerning the decrease in Democratic ballot requests is better for Republicans that it at first appears.

Meantime, Ras in Florida: "Florida voters now trust Romney more than Obama 52% to 44% when it comes to handling the economy. The GOP challenger has a similar 52% to 45% lead in voter trust in the area of national security. "

While I think Romney will win by a comfortable margin, your prediction just does not seem plausible. While I think the pollsters are underestimating the substantial Republican enthusiasm advantage, I can't see Obama getting under 45 nationally, or losing NY or California etc.

I sure hope not. Without them, we’d never have this hit song.

I am praying. Hope it isn’t just the ginning-up faze, of gains here and there, to manufacure momentum. It does look good, and I guess I can’t believe it.

It’s miraculous almost. I ahave attribute it to a praying nation if we pull this through. Thanks.

Yes, and with Hollywood ginning up the young and decadent in the swing states, Obama can get some voters out. Ohio is surprisingly liberal, or we wouldn’t be focusing on Ohio to this extent.

Exactly!

No way the turnout is +8 Democrat, but all I hear on FR is doom and gloom, fraud, etc.

The poll is showing Obama sinking and even +8 can barely keep his head above water.
