Polls really mean nothing. I heard three different polls today. One give Romney the lead, other gives Obama the lead and the 3rd one is a tie. I also read another pole that Indiana may turn Blue do to that one comment the senator made, that could change things if really is that close. (He didn't really apologize-it was a non apology-apology according to wish-tv 8 Debbie Knox reporter)

If there is tie, it could become Romney as President & Biden as vice president.
If the house doesn't agree. Biden become acting President until the house decides. If the House can't decide from my understanding, it will be the minority leader of the Senate. We could end up in the end with republican president & democrat vice president. A tie has happened a long time ago.

Get ready.

Romney: 317

Obama: 221
That is about what I have, although I have Obama at 218.

I have seen too many elections. Read this: Romney gets min of 300 EV.
I agree. Obama is gone. However, in the unlikely event that Obama wins, he will surely be impeached for the Libya-gate scandal that is being revealed. It appears as though Obama was not only aware of an impending attack, but refused military and CIA action that could have saved the lives of the four men.

If Obama loses (which is likely), I wonder if there will still be prosecution for dereliction of duty and the resulting cover up. This is much bigger than Watergate and just a reflection of how inept Obama really is. Hillary apparently was asking Obama to evacuate the embassy or reinforce it for two months prior the the 9/11 assault. Further, live feeds of the attack were being viewed at the State Department.

Why don't you give him all the votes while you're at it.

At least three of those states go to Obama if Obama takes Ohio. Wisconsin for one is further left than Ohio in current polling.

Many of the polls for Wisconsin's special election had the vote close. It wasn't. Walker won extremely easily. Any state that would still vote in a controversial governor that went way right isn't as far left as they once were.

Obama 300+. Even w/o Florida and NC this is possible, though Obama is close in both of those states.
