The truth is that too many of you actually believe that this election is going to be a blowout... it will be razor thin and it is razor thin at this time.

What's your methodology for this?
You don't need MI to have a blowout. Baseline below merely yields the win. Add NH, WI, CO, NM, NV and IA and you're +300EV. All attainable wins resulting in a blowout.
We’ll just have to see in November.

Good call.

One doesn’t need to be a pessimist to comprehend that Romney has an uphill fight to win Michigan, which has become a “reliable blue” state.
If Obama is truly at about 48% to Romney’s 45%, that leaves 7% between them. Assuming the “undecided” 7% breaks 2-to-1 for Romney, that gives Obama an additional 2.3%.
Perhaps something yet, an “unknown unknown” (to borrow a phrase from Donald Rumsfeld) will shake up the electorate and re-roll the dice. But unless that happens, it looks like Mr. Romney may “get close” in Michigan, but miss the cigar...
