You know what you’re talking about. I can’t believe there’s so many bedwetters on this thread. Romney takes Ohio comfortably. Any reports on early voting all clearly state that Obama is way underperforming (he may be ahead in Dem strongholds but he’s way way underperforming from 2008). Obama is getting a small surge from indies because of Sandy. That will evaporate by election day as indies remember they have no job, are paying $5/gallon for gas, the US is 16 trillion dollars in debt etc etc etc. It really is the economy stupids. No way Obama wins siting at 47% a few days beore the election.

Agreed. And here's what I think. And I know about as much historically and politically as anyone else.

But the Sandy bump was quite small (I mean the race is still tied), and come the weekend, when Romney hammers home the facts and figures relative to the economy (i.e. unemployment rate is 7.9%, and higher than it was $6 trillion dollars and 4 years ago), and as the NY/NJ corridor gets more frustrated with lack of FEMA help, and Lybia drips out even more... I think the race tilts towards Romney on Monday, and he wins by 3-4 points as I predicted last week.

That's just my opinion. I know many, as did I, wanted a blowout/preference cascade type election (and we were getting there pre-Sandy) but we are in a heck of a lot better position today than we were 4 years ago (down anywhere from 6-13 points nationally).

It's deadlocked. We can win this thing. Fingers crossed and many prayers.
