Obama in a Landslide?

[Lakhota]

Liberals don’t want to jinx it. It terrifies the right. And the press would prefer a nail-biter. But the fact is that finding Romney’s path to victory is getting harder every day.

There’s a secret lurking behind everything you’re reading about the upcoming election, a secret that all political insiders know—or should—but few are talking about, most likely because it takes the drama out of the whole business. The secret is the electoral college, and the fact is that the more you look at it, the more you come to conclude that Mitt Romney has to draw an inside straight like you’ve never ever seen in a movie to win this thing. This is especially true now that it seems as if Pennsylvania isn’t really up for grabs. Romney’s paths to 270 are few.

It’s beginning to look like Obama can lose the big Eastern four—Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida: all of ’em!—and still be reelected.​

who says penn. isn't really up for grabs for starters?

No, it won’t be a landslide for Obama, but the president will realize a comfortable, uneventful victory with 303 EC votes.

However, republicans will win control of the Senate.

This is almost better in a lot of ways.

thats more probable than a landslide by anyone, agreed.

(1) The TPM makes it harder every day in the swing states for Romney, and Romney can't get the discussion focused on economics. (2) Romney gets two more tries: the convention and the debates. He will win or lose the election on whether he can talk successfully about the economy. The President will win if he can keep Romney pinned on any other and all issues, which he has been doing quite well.

If Obama wins, I think the Dems will still have the Senate. If so, then both sides have to compromise, or everyone will be thrown out in 2014.

Obama could easily lose 50 of 57 States.

 

[OODA_Loop]

Obama with a Republican and Tea Party controlled Congress.

Imagine the greens fees, Hollywood parties and travel costs.

I really don't think Romney will even come close to winning. Of course there's always a chance but I'm hoping for gains in the House and Senate.

I really wanted Bob Kerrey back in the Senate but it doesn't look like that's happening.

My guess is Obama will win but not in a landslide, he'll comfortably will the electoral college but the popular vote will be closer, the Dems will keep the Senate but it'll be close there-close to 50-50, the House will stay Rep but the Dems will gain some, the Tea Party will pick up a couple seats in the House and one in the Senate.

From what I've seen, this is the likely outcome.

That is also generally how I perceive the outcome.

who says penn. isn't really up for grabs for starters?

Most pollsters and the fact the GOP hasn't won the state since 1988 in a presidential contest.

reagan vs. carter, reagand own by 8 points into October, branded as an ' out there con' etc etc ...they and that one debate together, the week after reagan never looked back. Romney aint no reagan but I think people will really tune in after the conventions....if Romney debates well, and uses the cash he'll have in abundance wisely, he can win.

He'd get ZERO of his agenda to ruin us done.

That is if Obama even shows UP to any debates.
