Some folks in the know (those who look at the historical records ) also tell me that Ohio's election results tend to closely track the popular vote closely.

That someone wins and popular vote and does not win Ohio is a NON-ISSUE.

Barring Some Sudden Change, Romney Will Win the Popular Vote.

My leftist voting brother told me this in glee thinking zer0bama was going to pull a GW Bush first election, and retain the _residency. I think it will be more like Reagan's elections ( take your pick).

Embarrassed as I am by my home state of NY, the last poll I saw was Obama up by 28%. If Romney were to win the popular vote, and states like NY and MA are going huge for O, Romney would have to pick up those votes in a lot of swing states, no?

I agree it's an unlikely scenario, but just suppose R wins the popular vote and O wins the electoral vote. Then, soon after the election, all heck breaks loose with Benghazi whistleblowers, and O is exposed (at best) as a liar.

Rather than risking a scandal-crippled presidency, couldn't some of the Ohio electors be convinced to switch their vote to Romney, particularly if he lost Ohio by a razor-thin margin? They could argue quite powerfully that the voters were grossly misled by O (and the MSM).

I think right now we are headed towards Romney winning the election with somewhere between 330 and 360 electoral votes. It will be a HUGE rejection of Obama's policies by the flyover country crowd.
