Romney wins IA, MO , WI, OH, VA, NC, FL, CO .

Give Obama PA (which he will probably lose) and he still loses.

When the west coast realizes that Obama cannot mathematically win, the dems turnout will be poor and Romney may even win one of the CA,WA, or OR states. Nonetheless, he won't need them.

The economy is terrible and the NUMBER ONE ISSUE for voters is THE ECONOMY. People will vote on the issue most important to them. Take another look at the map- Bo is gone. You will have to go back to moveon.org for another assignment.
Should I save this post for November so I can repost it for you when Romney goes down in a crushing defeat?

Yep-

I can assure you that I will remind you libs of your "certainty" about an Obama victory, as you will deny ever having said it.

I will stand by my statements, right or wrong. However, I think Obama's chances are ZERO.

He will probably end up with 218. Regardless, he has already lost. The nation is tired of incompetence and only the leftist "homers" will vote for Bo.

Obama will lose every "swing state", thus assuring his defeat. He will also probably lose PA, which is just icing on the cake. When the west coast sees it is mathematically impossible for Obama to win, it will suppress democratic turnout and Romney may win CA, WA, or OR.
Then why is he ahead in all the swing states but one?

You need to call your doctor and have your medication adjusted.

I have yet to hear ONE reason I should vote FOR Romney other than "he isn't Obama", that is NOT a reason.

Here are two:

1. He wouldn't force Americans to buy government-run health insurance.
2. He wouldn't raise taxes.

Oh that is because he believes all polls are liberal propaganda machines.
