2012 US Presidential Election discussion.

prediction time, starting with RCP's electoral map.



I'm giving the following swing states to Obama
PA
MI
WI
OH
IA
NV
CO
NH

and the following swing states to Romney
NC
FL
VA

making it 290 vs 248

Romney would have to pick off OH + NH from my list to win.

hoping for a good showing by Gary Johnson.

I got a sticker! yahoo!

Our polling place was moved from an elementary school to a church about four blocks away from said school..however the voters were not informed of the move. Fortunately the old polling place had a sign on the door minus directions with the name of the new polling place....but we found it anyway.

We are smarter than we look.

Me too here in Idaho. Voted over lunch and have me "I voted" sticker on the brim of my hat. Here's some initiall data:

INITAL HAPPENINGS IN OHIO

Apparently, Bill Cunningham was on Fox News in the last hour indicating that Hamilton County, OH and other GOP counties in Ohio are seeing a huge GOP turnout, up over 125% over 2008, and that many Democratics counties are experiencing at least a -10% showing. Big news if it is accurate and it holds.

Further verification coming in.



THAT'S WHEN YOU KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO WIN

Romney stopped at Pittsburg Pennsylvania at the airport and was greeted to a large crowd there. When he found how many could not get in to see him, he was taken outside and saw the crowd lined up, and FILLING a two level parking garage. He waved to them, and placed his hand over his heart. When asked about how he felt about that huge welcome in a state that until a week ago was felt to be in the bag for Obama, Romney responded, "That's when you know you are going to win."

Polling Places are starting to close on the east coast, early results are now coming in and Romney has a commanding lead over Obama on almost all states ... I personally voted for him on my absentee ballot and I hope it does make a difference ...

East and West coasts are pretty much a given to be Obama's territories. The demographics of each states are already very telling IMHO.

If Romney loses, I will be feel sorry for him. He have been trying to be the president since 04 and worked so hard. If he don't win this time he will be out of politics for good. He don't have any office to go to, and he have earned enough money so he don't care about that anymore.

This will hit him hard personally.

Romney now has 33 Electoral Votes compared to only 3 to Obama as of 1930 Hours East Coast time, whoever gets the 1st 270 electoral votes will become the next President of the US ...

stop using bold text.

Romney's winning in Ohio...

Florida is too close to call with 29 electoral votes at 49% for Obama and 50% for Romney with about 55% of votes in ...


Romney Wins Georgia with 16 electoral votes and now has a total of 56 , still no projections from Florida and Ohio ...

Early results mean nothing because as of now it's 63-40 in favor of Obama.

I got my sticker but it says "Ya Vote." Changing times.
