RCP electoral map: Obama 201, Romney 191

Romney Takes Electoral College Lead

Since the debate on Tuesday, which many analysts ceded to President Obama, mainly on strength of his having shown, the term comeback kid has been getting play among liberal pundits. Yet, this afternoon’s Real Clear Politics Electoral Map suggests goaway kid (or maybe just, “Go away, kid!”) is a more fitting description.​

The map for the first time gives challenger Mitt Romney a lead of 206 to 201 over Obama in Electoral College votes. Strikingly, the map has Florida (with 29 Electoral votes), Michigan (with 16), Ohio (with 18), Pennsylvania (with 20), Virginia (with 13), and Wisconsin (with 10) all in the toss-up column. In addition, North Carolina, with its 15 Electoral votes, has moved from toss-up to “lean Romney.”​

WI, PA, and MI are Obama's. No worries.

If they remain Obama, then Romney loses.

If OH goes Romney, he most likely will take WI and IA as well.\

WI, PA, and MI are Obama's. No worries.

he got to win all three to have any chance of winning election

They're leaning Obama...for now.

The Republicans haven't won any of these states since 1988 in a presidential election, and they won't this time.

He also has a comfortable lead in Ohio.

So winning just one more state- VA, NV, IA or CO, gets him the win.

And Romney has already peaked. After he shows he has no idea what he's talking about on foreign affairs tomorrow night, he's done.

 

[JakeStarkey]

You goofball. Leads within the error of margin are not comfortable leads. And if Obama wins them, it doesn't matter if he loses OH.

He has a +2.1 average lead in Ohio. That's not a very comfortable lead to me.

And Romney has already peaked. After he shows he has no idea what he's talking about on foreign affairs tomorrow night, he's done.

Pffft. Obama has no idea what he's talking about in foreign affairs. It seems like every day new info on Libya keeps getting worse for him.

Libya means nothing on election day, the economy everything.

According to the site: Campaign Explorer - 2012 Election Center - Elections & Politics from CNN.com

Romney hasn't been in

WI since 8/12
MI since 8/24
PA since 9/28

He knows he'll lose there. The only one of the 3 states where the campaign is still spending advertising is in Wisconsin and that is likely only because Ryan is from there. To lose both home states of your party's presidential ticket is a humiliating thing.

WI is at 2.4 ....sorry.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Probaby, the dems will carry PA and WI, which means the pubs have to carry OH.

Then how come the Weird Mormon Robot looks like a fool every time he talks about it?

Ryan was in PA yesterday to a nice big crowd...

Resources have been shifted to PA and MI from southern states that are now in the Romney column...

You will be crying for days after the election... Bank it...

If romney is fighting for southern states, he's already lost.

Naw, he's already lost anyway... this is just the media making it interesting.

FL, NC, VA... all will go Romney... Now to take PA and WI away from your Hero Zero and we hear an early concession speech from the empty chair...

Sucks to be a democratic today...

Actually, the only one he is going to take is NC.

The polls are already swinging back in Obama's direction.

[JakeStarkey]

Don't be surprised, JoeB, if VA and FL go right along with NC and MO into the Romney column.

The election will be decided in order of importance: OH, WI, IA.

Sorry, Nate doesn't impress me... He still thinks 2008 turnout predictions for this year are accurate...

The south will be Red this year... Looking like PA and WI have a serious shot at turning Red... NH too...

Lot's of democratics will be crying rivers of tears, wondering how their polls could be so wrong...

I'll be looking for the 5 stages of grief and pointing out each one...
