This is comical as much as it is pathetic! These republicans are predicting Romney to win key Democratic strongholds that have not voted republican since 1980. What's next? California is in play? LOL. Romney has to win too may swing states and turn over strong democrat held states like Michigan. It's not going to happen. He's not even going to win his home state.

Maybe you need to go back and check your references? You say they haven't won those states since 1980, were you old enough to vote then or were you even alive: The Republicans won all but 1 state in 1984, which is 4 years after they cleaned up in 1980....

i was just a little girl but believe me I remember. Our family was split, daddy a Republican and mom a Democrat. Daddy was down at the American Legion Hall that night, probably celebrating what he thought was Dewey's victory. Mom was at home with us kids. I can barely remember how happy she everntually was the next day when daddy with his probable hang over heard the real news...

Oregon is dangerously close to becoming a swing state.

All the campaign cash would result in an unexpected financial windfall for the state.

you can never tell. How many of you remember 80 and 84? How many of you remember what the polls looked like 4 plus months out? How many of you think the decision by the supreme court today will help Obama?

President Obama is so weak with whites that is what is going to happen. There have been several polls showing Michigan is now a toss up. Wisconsin is tightening up.

I didn't even bother clicking the map. Nate Silver and RCP have Obama winning but slightly. Nate has Obama up by 13 electoral votes from 270. So a MI flip would have Romney winning.

This map the op linked up must be garbage if the liberals on here are clucking. Most sober liberals I know are very scared right now.
