Obama is going to lose big time

[ChiefaRoo]

I'm calling it. The guy is going to lose in an electoral landslide.

Going off the electoral map in "Ollie North's" #82 post.

310 - Obama
228 - Romney

I give back to Romney those states NV,NM,CO,IA,WIS,MI,FL,VA,PA,=114 electoral votes.

228+114=342 for Romney
310-114=196 for Obama

Do the math !

Wisconsin should give you a huge clue as to what will happen in Nov.

Didn't California vote to ban gay marriage once? That is a pretty conservative idea, yet come presidential election time they firmly vote Dem. This just goes to show that what happened in Wisconsin is no indication of how they will vote in the presidential election.

So, in other words, yes, you do. Okay then!

Solid? You flip Florida and Virginia and you LOSE.

The state polls in both of those states has it tied.

Mack, is now up by 5 points in the Senate race in Florida.

Allen is tied in the senate race in Virginia.

Oh yeah, that's Solid, like metal gear solid baby. Rock Solid, I am sleeping easy solid.

The constitution does not enshrine a winner-take-all system. The constitution only tells each state "here's your electors, do whatever the hell you want with selecting them". A state could cancel a presidential election and choose to let the governor select all the electors.

The state legislature certainly could legislate that.

Which is why I never could understand the pissing in 2000.

The legislature in Florida, could have thrown out the election and selected the electors anyway.

Really, there is no need to have an election. A state could simply caucus and vote on a slate of electors and send them to the college.

If the citizens of that state didn't like their decision, they could elect a new legislature.

The electors are not bound to vote the way they are pledged either. But they always do for some reason, well almost always.

Solid, as in I think the predictions are pretty good. Despite all of my number-crunching and the apparent Obama lead right now, this race is going to be so close that I don't think either side will be able to claim outright victory until Election Night . . . or maybe even the next morning.

Romney isn't Reagan, but Obama is definitely Jimmy Carter.

Mondale got his ass kicked even worse. He won Minnesota and DC and that's it. He barely got more electoral votes than I did.

There is no way anything close to that happens

This race is going to be exceptionally tight. I don't see a blowout by either Candidate.
