President Obama is kicking Mitt Romney's ass in the electoral college. Obama's path to 270 is much, much easier and allows for the president to take several paths to get to that magic number. Romney will have a very tough time getting 270. Even states Romney should have no trouble winning are in play, even if Obama is a heavy underdog.
This could end up looking a lot like 2008, where McCain and Obama were relatively close in the national vote, but Obama crushed McCain in the Electoral College.
The reality is with the exception of Texas the Democrats control most of the states with the large electoral votes. As long as that's the case it's easier for a Democratic Presidential candidate to win an election.
1)I'm still waiting for you to tell me how the spending from the stimulus bill, boosted employment BEFORE IT WAS EVEN SPENT! Where did the money come from in order to spend it? Tell me why the CBO projects NEGATIVE growth in the GDP beginning in 2015 due to the stimulus bill.
2)How long do I need to wait for you to actually respond factually to something? I have great fear my children will be married first.
I'll answer 2 first. Some of us have lives. I can't be there every moment to answer you.
1) I have no idea what you are writing about. I never claimed "the stimulus bill, boosted employment BEFORE IT WAS EVEN SPENT."
Mr. Obama is the President of the United States and for at least that reason you should capitalize his name.

I don't understand your meaning.
I'm a civilized person and civilized people respect established decorum. One of those standards is that one refers to a head of state with respect and not disrespect them by neglecting to capitalize their name. (Every proper nouns deserve capitalization, btw.)
Where the hell do you think the money came from in order for Obama to spend it, if not
A) by taking it out of the economy or
B) devaluing the dollar
You are the one ignoring the laws of economics, because simply boosting the GDP doesnt equate to jobs.
Well it's universally agreed by economist that no boosting the GDP cost jobs.
Also more likely than not boosting GDP boost aggregate demand which means higher levels of production. Historically that tends to lead to higher levels of employment.
Newsflash: The community organizer is NOT my president.
He's not worthy.
The American people elected him your personal opinion which you have the right to express is irrelevant in the matter.
I guess you must have renounced your citizenship. Barack Obama is President of the United States. The only way he's not your president is of course you are no longer an American citizen.
