Nate Silver's analysis is trending further. 307 to 231 for Obama.

Let's hope Tip O'Neill was right - all politics is local. Wouldn't that be a nice kick in the arse to the Robert's court.

What's wrong with that? Just sounds like capitalism to me.

And don't forget, the US is out there changing other folks governments, why can't the rest of the world be involved in changing them in the US?

Well tomorrow we get to exercise our franchise and pretend that we are still living in a democracy when any intelligent being realizes that it is an oligarchy of the 1%ers

RCP "Toss Ups"

CO (9) - Obama +0.6
IA (6) - Obama +2.4
MI (16) - Obama +3.8
NV (6) - Obama +2.8
NH (4) - Obama +2.0
OH (18) - Obama +3.0
PA (20) - Obama +3.9
VA (13) - Obama +0.3
WI (10) - Obama +4.2
FL (29) - Romney +1.8
NC (15) - Romney +3.0


Pretty lopsided for the President but let's drop both Colorado and Virginia into the too close to call category at this point since both are way under 1%. Here's what the Electoral College looks like.

Obama 281
Romney 235
Toss Up 22

TD has guaranteed a 300+ for Romney via his source (and many other R's as well across the net) and said to bet the farm.

You think he's willing to put up that lakefront property or even his stash of tubes and amps?

Something tells me he does not have that kinda conviction in this cause.......

Most recent polls in RCP average for "Toss Ups"

CO (9) Obama +6
IA (6) Obama +2
MI (16) Obama +5
NV (6) Obama +4
NH (4) Obama +4
OH (18) Obama +1
PA (20) Obama +3
VA (13) Obama +4
WI (10) Obama +3
NC (15) Romney +4
FL (29) Tie

If this holds, even giving Florida to R$R, the Electoral College, the President wins.

303 - 235

John
