Sabato is an idiot!

I have absolutely no respect for the man or his left leaning politics!

Sabato has apparently been asleep during the past year or so.

It’s as if the 2010 election never happened.

In some of the earliest GOP 'straw' polls, Other was getting 80%.

I hope Obama thinks Texas and Florida are in play and ends up sinking a ton of money and resources there.

With gasoline headed for $6 a gallon, and food prices looking like gold futures, and the Middle East looking like Southeast Asia circa 1960, these numbers and all their blather mean nothing.................

The author ignores recent polling data that puts Florida as a GOP likely.

He also ignores the recent voting results in Wisconsin that would make it a toss-up state.

I believe PA and OH are also leaning GOP

And $4 gas doesn’t help Obama either.

While I don’t agree with this map. One thing is for sure, every presidential election will be down to the wire like in 2000, simply because 40% of the population of this country are living off of the government.

The story of the 2012 election is going to be how blacks stayed home in droves. Obama has become an embarrassment to them; they won't vote for a Republican but there will not be the enthusiasm there was in '08, IMHO. Leftist media will have yet another opportunity to employ the word "unexpected".

Sabato's work here is predicated largely on the 2008 turnout, and if I'm right it is completely nullified by lack of black turnout alone, not to mention the tea party factor.
