Would not surprise me Romney does exactly what this writer claims. Romney has all the momentum

And, Sandy has little to do with the outcome. Most of the states affected are Obama states, anyway...and, it is liberals who tend to stay home when weather is bad

When states like Minnesota are in Romney’s grasp...you know Obama has major problems. I think George McGovern even won Minnesota when he got slaughtered in ‘72

I think we’re about to see a glittering example of the Bradley effect. A lot of white people (and others) don’t want to vocally complain about the black, quota-hire guy doing a bad job. They have decided to wait for election day to quietly do away with this hideous embarrassment. They won’t complain out loud but they will make their dissatisfaction known.

The election isn’t over until Candy Crowley sings.

I think we will all realize after the Romney-Ryan win that, in the name of giving hope to those on the left, the 2010 mid-terms were completely ignored in the run-up to this election.

From 2008 to 2010, there’s an acute upward trajectory in Republican fervor and turnout. All the institutions on the left—academia, the media, and the Democratic Party ground-game apparatus were in place. None had any impact on the outcome. Lest we forget, the media, for example, shilled for each and every Dem candidate, in state, congressional, gubernatorial and municipal races, and they still lost in monumental fashion.

Let’s ask ourselves the question “What did Obama and the liberals do in the ensuing two years to change not only the outcome for 2012, but the trajectory from the election in 2008 to the ones in 2010?

It must be factored in that 18 to 20 year olds, still steeped in Obama worship coming from the institutions still owned by the left, may be predisposed to Obama. But they have PARENTS, who may have been able to counter the indoctrination, since parents, those who turned out in droves in 2010 at least, know what happened in 2008, and may strap the young’uns to the couch on Nov 6.

So it’s hard not to see a decisive victory for R-R in 2012, and all our consternation may have been engineered by those who ignored the 2010 shellacking, and wished us to do the same.

Excellent assessment, only one addition needed = 2010 shellacking, which came about in large part as a direct result of the TEA PARTY MOVEMENT!

One thing the MSM and political pundents have ignored and totally underestimated is the fact that the Tea Party hasn't gone away, we are still here, still conservative and still active. The only difference is we are less visible (the MSM totally ignored or purposely underestimated and misrepresented our numbers and our message when we were openly visible and vocal anyway so we "went underground" and continued doing what we said we would do and make our millions upon millions of voices heard at the ballott box in 2010. 2012 is no different, the Tea Party is stronger today and we are, Lord willing, about to continue the work we started in 2010 by sweeping Obama and the Democrats out of power via a tsunami, landslide victory for RR and numerous conservative and Republican (yes we recognize the difference) candidates.

The Tea Party is alive and well and we aren't going anywhere until the job is done!

Mitt will carry all the Bush states and might win one or two surprise states. Obama will win all the reliable states, but by much smaller margins which doesn’t really matter. The final tally will be something like 51 to 46 popular.
If Obama wins, he will have negative coat tails, he will lose senate seats and house seats.
If Romney wins, he will have short coat tails but the repubs will move to 50 seats in the senate.
