Agreed, even Fox shows them neck and neck.

So when it ends up being right you can tell me how smart I am and how wrong you were.

Say, if the election is a foregone conclusion for Obama, why are you wasting your time on the "Elections" board?

Tell your supervisor at Obama for America that your "talents" would be better spent stuffing envelopes at campaign HQ. You're not persuasive here.
Why are you wasting YOUR time on an Election board? You kind of invalidated your own question, its like people calling someone a loser for visiting a website on that same website

Mitt Romney cannot win. President Obama is going to finish with approximately 330 votes.
Romney is losing in just about every swing state, and he has no chance of winning Ohio.

So what are you guys trying to pull here?

Is this some strange way for you to convince each other to get out the vote by pretending this is close?
It's not close. You closed the gap a little bit when enough people believed that Romney won the first debate.
Even if we pretend that he did win the first debate, VP Biden and President Obama swept the rest of the debate season.

By November 1st we're going to be talking about President Obama opening up a 15 to 20 point lead nationally, and that's when the national polls DO matter, because you won't be winning any swing states other than MAYBE Florida and North Carolina. At that point you might as well just go fishing on November 6th.

Provide a source for these claims and someone on here might actually pay some attention to you instead of laughing at you which I am doing now...lol. Nothing but your Magic Eight Ball has given you any of this in a poll of any kind.

Sure. No problem at all.

Election Forecasts - FiveThirtyEight Blog - NYTimes.com

Romney's chance of winning is now 26.9%, down nearly three points since this time last week.
Granted, they only have President Obama finishing up with 294 EVs, but that's 24 more than he needs!
See the plus signs and minus signs on that page? The plus signs, the ones all over President Obama's side of the chart, and the minus signs all around Romney? That's the momentum you think you have that you don't actually have.

Magic Eight Ball, indeed.
Now I laugh at you.

Most of the Romney supporters seem like angry, paranoid kooks.

That is utterly preposterous. Nate Silver's reputation is based almost entirely on the accuracy of his forecasts. He's been very accurate in his past predictions. He has nothing to gain by being wrong.

I don't know whether Romney can win or not, but I do know that this conservative is pulling for Obama. Never thought I'd say that no matter how many times hell froze over.

But, to be clear, pulling for Obama in this context is akin to preferring a surprise encounter with a coyote than one with a Bengal Tiger. Either should be avoided to the extent possible, but one is a lot more survivable than the other.

Misguided as Obama and his followers are, we can survive and undo his damage even after another 4 years. But the Plutocracy and despicable corporate dishonesty that Romney personifies dwarfs liberal lunacy in the magnitude of its threat to our future freedom and prosperity. You'd think we would have learned.

As least there is some comfort in knowing that the right conservative candidate would be 25 points up on Obama at this point. So at least not everyone is asleep.

I have lived in a couple of states, including in the south, and I have met very, very few people who didn't like someone based on their race. True, the few I have met have left a searing impression but judging an entire group of people based on the actions of a few is wrong.
