CNN Electoral Map: Wisconsin moves to true "toss up"

[candycorn]

I live in a little backwoods, hick town in SW Wisconsin. At one of the major intersections of town with a road leading out of town, a house on the corner had obama/biden signs lined up along in their lawn next to the road. First night they were there someone ran them all down. Yeah, there may be a few dough head odumbo supporters here in Wisconsin, but by NO MEANS is it a MAJORITY. Judging by people I talk to here, I predict Romney will win Wisconsin. I personally know two people, both democrats, that will NOT vote for obama again. They think he's a total LIAR and an EMPTY SUIT, a SHAM, a FLIM FLAM MAN full of fucking GAS, and I'm sure that sentiment is shared by MANY, "old school" democrats here. Where you find the majority of support for the kenyan here in Wisconsin is in the slums of Milwaukee, mostly black, and the brain washing institutions they call universities. That ain't enough. Romney will win Wisconsin. The fact that Walker won his recall and Paul Ryan is from Wisconsin should tell you something.

I like how Obama is going to sweep both MA and WI--I wonder when the last time a Democrat swept both home states of the GOP ticket. I'm betting never.

RCP has it 7.8 for Obama today.

Sigh.

You are such a loser.

Ain't this a bitch?
Chris where are you?

Where are all those people who confidently assured us that the Walker recall result was a guarantee that the GOP had WI in the bag?

It's September 27th, dumbass...

If turnout for the recall is any indicator for the general election, Barry loses WI big...

the R's outnumbered the D's by more than 2-1... Dayum! Republicans and independents can come out in force if motivated!

Those votes are going to be the most expensive votes in US history, I suspect.

$63.5 million: The minimum amount spent by both sides in the recall
70 percent: How much more expensive the governor’s recall election is than the state’s second-most expensive race (the 2010 gubernatorial campaign)
$30.5 million: Amount raised by Walker to fight off the recall effort
$3.9 million: Amount raised by his challenger, Tom Barrett, the Democratic mayor of Milwaukee
$10,000: Maximum individual donation Barrett may accept under state law
Unlimited: Maximum individual donation Walker may accept under state law
​

What nothing on the democrats?
Wisconsin Recall Election Spending Tops $60 Million - ABC News

 

[JakeStarkey]

Rasmussen on one side, all the other reputable public opinion houses on the other.

Tis what tis.

If Romney wins, he is going to have to drive the far right into the wilderness and reach to the center.

 

[Old Rocks]

Wisconsin President Obama 7.8..............6 poll, Obama leading in all.

The way the election is shaking out right now, the President is going to have 300+, maybe closer to 400 electorial votes.

Would you be surprised to learn that states with Republican governors routinely go for Democratic presidential candidates?

Do I need to name a few?

How about democrats? democrats have controlled North Carolina state government for 140 years until 2010, and voted for a republican president more times than democrat.

Romney's not going to win because of the things you say. Do you have a point?

I'd say Im just a bit in the comfort zone..............

but just a bit...............



Just like Carville said back in 1992...........although I'd rather put it at you cant shine shit.

Delusion boy is out early.

Obama was up by 5.4 in Wisconsin on the day Paul Ryan was picked. Obama is now up by 7.8.

Ryan, another conservative darling who has proven unacceptable to normal Americans...

Ryan has been little help. In truth though, Romney was in such a bad position, nobody would have helped him much.

The weirdbots from the far right are in delusionville for sure.
