Landslide. The split thing went in the toilet about 6 months ago.

I gotta say that I would be getting a full 8 hrs of sleep (rather than 6) if the state polls looked just a tiny bit better. :0)

I don’t think this will happen.

In fact I think it may be more likely that Obama could win the popular vote due to states like California going overwhelmingly for him and then losing the electoral college

That said. I think Romney wins about 52% or more of the popular vote.

It’s all slipping away for Obama....so they are holding onto this, for now. It’s amazing how many people in the media don’t know how to break down the internals in a poll, or do not want to.

I just saw a CA poll released today that has Obama at 53%.

The undecideds will break for Mitt here in the next week. Rove said Romney would be tied in Ohio this past week and take the lead this upcoming. He was right so far.

They must be drinking this stuff morning, noon and night.



Romney wins 300+ Electoral votes and wins the popular vote.

It is not likely to happen, but if it does there are remedies to ensure that Romeny wins the election.

This is just the final media gyrations to keep the people engaged. All these stories of a 269/269 tie, Harry Reid as VP, and all sorts of highly unlikely scenarios are all they have left to keep it interesting. Given where we are, with serious Romney momentum and a flailing Democrat campaign, it is unlikely the popular vote and electoral vote are split. Possible, but unlikely.

No, this election is not over, because Ohio is undecided, and other states pivotal to Romney to win despite Ohio are close, too. Assuming an undecided break to the challenger (which is near gospel among true experts), Romney would likely win if the election was today. Either way, I don’t expect a split...if Romney gets the kind of popular vote percentage it shows, there is almost no way he would not win the EV, too. If Obama is able to win the EV, it probably means their GOTV is highly successful and the popular vote goes too.

More circle jerk fantasy by Obama fans in the media. Look, six or eight weeks ago they told us Obama was a shoo in.

Now they’re facing the fact that their hero Zero is tanking. Momentum for the Liar is going down faster than a two dollar crack whore, and they cannot handle it.

the nine or so swing states are registering a narrow advantage for President Obama.

..for someone so specific about a "split" he sure isn't sure about the "or so" states

Folks, if this Libya thing keeps growing the only AllRed that we’ll be talking about on Nov. 7th may not relate to Gloria.

I think the "East of the Hudson River, West of La Cienaga Boulevard" crowd is going to find out the power of Romney's appeal in flyover country; this will result in a landslide win for Romney.

(For those who don't know, La Cienaga Boulevard is said by many to be the north-south "dividing line" between some of the richest parts of Los Angeles County to the west and everything else to the east. West of La Cienaga are the towns of Beverly Hills, the nearby Bel Air gated community, Westwood, Santa Monica, Culver City, Century City, West Los Angeles, Brentwood, Marina del Rey and Malibu--the home of many entertainment celebrities and entertainment executives. It's also among the most "blue" areas of California, despite the extreme wealth of the area.)

Lol-—except Obama way down in CA. . . For a lib. He’s barely carrying Oregon.

He won Oregon 57-40 last time. If Oregon is within 5 points, he will be crushed nationwide.

With a "normal" media maybe, but as of today only Fox & ABC's Tapper are following the Libya fiasco/cover up. Look at NYT and WaPo sites, nary a mention.

That certainly seems to be logical. Like everyone else, I’d probably call the election right now if we could get one solid poll lead in OH-—but that’s precisely why they won’t call OH. It’s all over when they do, not just th election but the need for pollsters.
