A comotose person should be able to beat Obama.
Might be the GOP's choice of their candidate.

Do you really believe any of this nonsense that you just posted?

The 59 million who voted Democrat in 2004 would be surprised to learn this.

I actually think that map is the most honest I have seen in a while. Given the number of toss up states, it is not a blowout, it's a a horse race, but for Romney to win, he needs a pitch perfect performance in all the debates,and in the rest of his campaign. Obama has a comparatively much easier path to 270. But if Obama royally screws up the debates forgets how to campaign, the Middle East explodes, and the economy hits the skids, it would turn the tables. Could happen, but probably won't.

What are you going to do if/when that changes and shows Romney leading? Or better yet, how are you going to keep your head from exploding if Romney wins the election? My suggestion is duct tape - that stuff is great for just about anything.
If that happens I wouldnt create my own reality like you guys do

PPP has Romney within 2 in Wisconsin. If you think Wisconsin is more conservative than Ohio I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Libs if I were you I'd worry about weakness in Michigan, PA and even Connecticut and Oregon in the coming days.

If Obama doesn't step it up you all will be looking at a suprise Reaganesque landslide in November.
Ah yes, we're delusional...all it takes is for Romney to reverse the tide in 10 states where's he's been polling behind for months. That's all.

Obama + 1.6

If you think Romney has a chance of winning any of these states, then you are deluded. The states that are close are Florida, and Virginia. Romney is very unlikely to win Ohio, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada is pretty much impossible. Romney is likely to get Missouri and North Carolina.

Even if Romney wins Florida, Virginia, Iowa and Colorado, he will still lose. Pretty much, if Romney do not win Ohio, he will lose this election.

There have been no post-debate polls in these states. Stay tuned!

Sorry even Dems are jumping over board from the sinking Obama ship.
