Obama = 294

Romney = 244

I might be a little low on Obama's number.

Yeah, some of these Republicans seem to be under the delusion that states like Oregon and Minnesota could be toss ups. California going to Romney is an even sillier notion though.

I came up with Romney 535 EV, Undecided 3 EV (that was Wash DC), and a third party, I forget the name 0 EV

And that's with giving half of the swing states that are running 50/50 right now to each.
Which is what I did. I got 298 to 240 Romney.

I don't see how Romney could NOT win. I had him winning and still a bunch of states not in either category yet.

Fun site. I don't think all of Karl Rove's swing states are really in play. I don't see Oregon going Romney, for example.

My conservative estimate:

Obama 277, Romney 266, giving Romney Colorado, New Hampshire and Virginia.

My liberal estimate:

I suspect Obama will take Colorado (large hispanic vote), leading to

Obama 286, Romney, 252.

I'll hedge my bets and say the latter at 60% and the former at 40%. And that is my final answer.

I know CA will never go red...

But I sure wish it would for two reasons now.

Mine is neck and neck and it boils down to a few states...depending on what they do, either one could win.

Too early to tell.

website polls are very inaccurate but they are fun. I got it 272 for Romney and 168 I guess for Obama..Some I could have said undecided...
