How is it tied up nationally, while deep blue states like MN, MI, and PA are showing a dead heat?

If Obama does not win these states by high single digits/low double digits, it would portend a bad night for Obama, no?

This is the strangest year relative to polling.

Exactly. Even the biased polling is indicating a huge landslide for Romney if you read between the lines and just think about it a bit.

No idea.

I think the pollsters are colluding to generate an agreed upon result. Rush said something similar on Friday, he said not even the republican pollsters are willing to stick their neck out this time.

It seems the pollsters hace all agreed to report a tied race. Gallup being out of the picture is even more puzzling.

If you take the Realclearpolitics map and seed it with "no leaners" but flip Colorado to Romney (which I think will happen) it shows Romney with 257 electoral votes, needs 13 more to seal it. With CO if he gets either PA or OH, it's over. If he doesn't get PA or OH but gets any one of Wisconsin, Michigan, or Minnesota, he only gets 10 of the 13. He needs to get one more state to get a path to 270 without PA or OH. Nevada? Iowa? New Hampshire? Any one of them plus Colorado gets it done.

Bottom line, if he takes the states he's supposed to and adds Colorado plus any one of MN, WI, or MI, he wins. If he gets either PA or OH, any of those states puts him over the top (CO, MN, WI, MI, NV, IA). If they are all in a "too close to call" such that it's a coin toss, he ought to win at least one, you'd think.

The good news is there are lots of realistic possibilities that get him to 270, it's not all down to just one or two states. The bad news is it's not over, even though the sentiment seems to favor Romney. To win he has to flip some deep blue states and flipping blue states is almost as hard as flipping a liberal SCOTUS judge.

I wish Rush was broadcasting today.....he has a way of making sense of all this.
