Forget about Romney for a minute, how are we doing in the Senate? Last time I looked at RCP the numbers looked bleak. And I’m seeing little on Drudge or FR about the state of the Senate races. We need 3 pick-ups and a Romney win to get minimal control of the Senate.
One thing I found today is that Republicans have recently been outspending Democrats in the House and Senate races.

In the week ending last Friday, groups have spent $13 million to help House Democratic candidates and $22 million for House Republicans. Senate Democratic hopefuls have benefited from $6 million, Senate Republicans from $10 million.
Ya you gave me quite a Huh? Moment there.
Thats ok though..its good for the heart.
Gallup pushing back on the threats?
OMG, Okay, maybe I don’t need to see a visual on this! Holy moly...more than I expected...lol
"And no candidate who has led in mid-October with 50 percent or more in the likely voter poll has ever gone on to lose.“
We are already past that point.
Pa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nevada all go for Romney.
Fl, Va, NC are now a near lock for Romney.
I see at least a 300 EC total for Romney.
I do not know about OHIO. I think it might go to Obama
These are the tossup states.
CRZ,
You may want to chat with LS. He is a “on the ground” guy in LS
Many of us have known him since 2004.
He has some convincing posts recently about why OH will go R in a big way
You may also want to check out Ravi’s posts about early voting trends.
OH is more than likely to be a fairly robust Team RR victory
OTOH, Michigan and PA are still tough in my opinion
I just hate to say this, but I can’t bring myself to believe anything positive that I read, other than RAZ..
Since it’s Gallup since it’s all horse crap. make it Romney up by 10.
That seems to be what is happening, which is surprising, because libs are usually ideology first, personal interest second. Maybe they realize Romney is pretty liberal, so they are comfortable with him winning.
Thanks for the heart attack.
:-\
interesting point. A 7 point lead nationally and a neck and neck tie in Ohio makes NO sense. One of these scenarios is way off. Ohio is traditionally a very good barometer for the electorate in general. When companies want to test market a new product, they often do it in Ohio for this very reason.
What I gather from this consistent strong showing in Gallup, (even through the weekend), is that Gallup knows their cred is on the line and they sense the lead and eventual win margin will be VERY significant. As far as Ohio, I’m much more skeptical of those polls.
BTW, The Columbus Dispatch endorsed Romney today. That is HUGE coming from such a left-leaning paper.
SADIST!!!!
LOL
Romney will lose Cuyahoga but it will be by less than 150,000 votes. He’ll pick up the suburban counties and the Rust Belt and carry the state. After all, he’s a lock in next door IN, KY and WVA all of which border OH. When these states go Red, look for OH to follow suit.
Link?
Would love to see Rev. James Manning go on MSNBC or any Network broadcasting on election night and give a color commentary on how the election is going and cheering for a Romney win.
Dude!
I gave MYSELF a heart attack after I read my own post!
I have declared jihad on my left hand that typed the “4” instead of the “5”
