Junior high answers? Why bellhead is a college graduate with a degree in business and 3.59 GPA from a religious school. He's the smartest troll in the room!

His username fits.

That's actually not true at all and you know it.

I am sure you think this map looks good for Obama, but actually for a sitting president at this stage of the game, it looks horrible. He is not in a good place here at all. There is every opportunity for Mitt Romney to win.

You are aware of what just happened in WI recently, right? WI is anybody's game.

Did you read the news on why Walker won? The presidential race is completely different than a recall of a sitting governor. Turnout was 800k under 2008, most notably down in Urban areas.

You are overlooking the most obvious thing. Obama has turned off a lot of voters. He won Wisconsin by 13% in 2008. He won't get anywhere near that even with the same turnout. He won Michigan by 16.5% in 2008. He is now tied.

of course it is, but that means nothing, the voter turnout was down and have you read or listened to the experts at all? The projection and this is by almost everyone, the turn out will be very low in Nov. Many of Obama's 2008 supporters are staying home this time. Many were one time voters, haven't voted before and won't vote again, certianly not for ahile. Add to that, some republicans that did not vote in 2008 won't make the same mistake this time. Do I think it will be a landslide, one way or the other? No, but if you think Obama is a shoe in and obvioulsy you do, you need to re-think this or be willing to say, in Nov, but I got that one wrong.

Do you really believe what you are typing? His own party doesn't want to back him but he's going to win Massachussetts and Michigan. I thought this was a grown up debate. LOL

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.
Romney has a bigger gap to close and that's the issue. IF,IF,IF,IF, that's all I keep reading on these post. IF is a dream.
