I think after Ryan flattens Biden in the Vice-Presidential debate and Obama has another surprisingly bad performance even in the "townhall" format (remember, no help from a TelePrompter and handlers!), we may see things break surprisingly fast Romney's way.

It's a combination of 1980 and 1988 all over again.

Ohio is a big key most years, and it will be this year as well.

Whichever candidate wins Ohio, wins the election.

Romney will get 300+ EV’s and 52& of the PV as Obama is being exposed as the empty suit he really is and has been.

If you think the Dems are going crazy now, wait until after debate #2 and #3

Bombing Iran on Halloween might not even save Obama.

Romney is going to win Ohio, and WI.

Yes, but the article is based on polling over the last three weeks state by state. All the post debate polls show movement to Romney in the state by state polls

Yeah why would Obama visit Wisconsin on his way from debate in
Denver back to white hut?

Wisconsin?????!!!!

He is in trouble in Wisconsin that’s why. He’s in so much trouble
that he did not go to Iowa or FL immediately afterwards.

Then he was in Northern Virginia today, a short drive from the white hut.

It’s not the question but the implication. The old saw about shooting the messenger. Mature folks like so many others on the thread engage the news objectively and dispassionately without casting aspersions on those who post a thread. It’s after all a news item that’s not taken from either a tabloid or some MoveOn.org rag.

And Rasmussen uses a rolling five day average so things are really better than that

Wait a minute! The first year that 18 year olds could vote, I helped Mr. Nixon get elected the second time.

“Rasmussen’s polling shows Obama leading in Ohio (by 1 point), Nevada (by 2 points), Wisconsin (by 3 points), and Pennsylvania (by 12 points)”

If Romney stays strong the rest of the way, he could conceivably pick off all of those states except PA (I think that one is a lost cause). Ohio has had me worried this entire election, but things are looking better there.

I’m wondering, though, how much Harry Reid is going to dip into his little bag of tricks in Nevada? Reid pulled out all stops against Angle, will he do the same for Obama? He’s already the designated Attack Jackass this election, so it wouldn’t surprise me.

True the fresh polls will tuen even better for Romney. I even think Ras is under polling how hyper jazzed our side is to rampage and destroy on election day as in 1994 and 2010.

>> My Aunt says she’s still going to vote for Obama because he’s the better looking candidate. Uuum, whose idea again was it to allow women to vote? <<

Your Aunt also needs her vision checked if she thinks the guy with the purple lips and big ears is the "better looking candidate"

“Guys, its not going to be that close... Obama will not get above 42-43% on election day, while the EC won’t’ reflect how bad of a route he will get, due to population distribution, the idea this is going to be a few EC vote difference is just laughable.”

I really think that Romney will win states which noone thought where in play such as NY.

Well not sure about NY but if the numbers are what I expect I do agree states no on is talking about will go red.

I will stAte right now, and have before, no state Obama won by less than 55% of the popular vote in 2008 with the exception of MN will go to Obama in 2012.
