Ok, here is my best guess at to how an election would turn out if held today:



I am being VERY aggressive in calling states, and have no tossups, I give every state my best guess.

Virginia & Colorado are so close, if somebody had them in the Obama column I wouldn't argue too hard...

So assuming that my Romney @ 257 is correct... that means he needs 12 more EVs to win the Presidency (I am assuming a 269/269 tie would resolve in Romney's favour in the House)

So here is the question, if you were running Romney's campaign, where would you go all out?

In addition to a continued full court press in Colorado and Virginia, where are the next 12 EVS...?

Any of the following combinations would gain him victory:

Ohio with 18 EVs = Victory

Wisconsin (10 EVs) + any other state = Victory

Nevada (6)  + Iowa (6)  = Victory

Why "Romney supporters only" exactly? I guess you're the only ones who can think objectively... Roll Eyes So much that my prediction map is actually the same as yours.


Was trying to avoid "your map is %^%$!, Obama is ahead in Texas!"  responses from the hard core KOSkiddies

Comments from (sane) Democrats, Libertarians, and independents are always welcome. Smiley

I hope you realize that the number of democrats who think Obama is ahead in Texas is roughly the same as that of republicans who think Romney is ahead in Massachusetts.

That would be the KOSkiddies Smiley

And what do you mean Mitt is behind in Mass?

[quote author=AmericanNation link=topic=161932.msg3472271#msg3472271

apparently Romney is closing in PA like a freight train!  WI hasn't went R since 84 and PA hasn't since 88... realignment?

Bad polls from 3rd rate polling organizations seems like a better bet to me Smiley

But it is nice to dream!
