Presidential Election Predictions for your home state

[Lloyd Bentsen's Ghost]

54% Romney
45% Obama

[WhyteRain]

My real home, the economic powerhouse of the nation and the one everyone wishes they could claim to be natives of, will crush Obama something like 59-41.  My state-of-exile with its southern half full of idiot Yankee refugees, will still pound Obama by something like 53-47.

You're a native of Texas currently living in Florida?  

Good guess!  Or was it just good clues?

I don't think Obama will get that low in TX....pffft...Plus TX despite the oil, defense, and other industries, it's a poor state, I don't see how it's an economic powerhouse, I LIVE HERE.

Virtually everyone in my large family lives in Texas -- scattered all over the state.  The only exceptions are me (in Florida) and one of my brothers who lives in California.  From what I've seen over the years, Texans rarely realize just how much it sucks outside of Texas.  One big clue:  All the people who are flooding to Texas from failed states in the Midwest, Northeast and the far West.

Texas isn't a poor state -- though obviously it hasn't the rich resources of California.  What it is is the last hope and refuge of large numbers of poor people who accept the miserable climate and ugly scenery of Texas because they can't afford to live where the weather and topography are nice but collectivists rule.

The great thing is that these newcomers usually become "more Texan than the Texans" because, unlike most American states, Texas actually has an attractive culture.

Florida: Obama 50, Romney 47

Are you sure you live in Florida?  Because Obama has no chance.  (Well, unless he can get masses of illegal aliens to vote.)

[PulaskiSkywayDriver]

50-49 Romney, PA and NJ flip to return the GOP to the White House.

[Reginald]

54-46 Romney

Texas - 54/44 Romney

54/45 Romney

Romney 56
Obama 43

54% Romney
45% Obama

I'll go with somewhere in this range.

As for OK, I think Bushie's a bit optimistic for Obama; while I do think a mild D swing is possible, 38% is maybe his ceiling. And I don't think Romney sweeping every county is that far-fetched either.

You sure it's not a bit more than that?

Voter fraud is well known in this country and still going on today.

To a Republican anyone who is born outside of US is illegal.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Then why is it a laughingstock, and why does the 'economic powerhouse of the nation' lead the nation in uninsured and in growth in jobs that reflect badly on the concept of job growth?



Anyway, 57-41 or thereabouts.

[BaldEagle1991]

How it have an attractive culture, when most of the state lives in poverty?

I am entirely sure I live in, was born in, and have since birth lived in Florida. I don't know the political moods up in Lafayette or Liberty or Holmes or Dixie or whatever county you're in, but down here in Pinellas/Hillsborough/Pasco/Hernando, people don't like Obama but they certainly don't like Willington Mittford Romneyfeller III.

[cope1989]

ahh, the old "(democratic candidate) won in (swing state) because of voter fraud/illegal aliens."

Wouldn't it be great if one really could write off a loss that easily by simply blaming fraud. Of course for a lot of Obama haters, it's mentally impossible for them to accept that Obama won these states due to running a better campaign or being preferred by the majority of its citizens. Voter fraud may exist in very small numbers in very small pockets, but it's far from the democratic threat that some people make it out to be. I guess it's just a good talking point, and confirms people's paranoid fears about immigrants and minorities.

And maybe it's not so wise to blame voter fraud on hispanic voters in Florida. I mean, the only reason FL isn't a strong D state is because Cubans vote Republican, so don't push your luck.

[Reginald]

I agree with you that Texas's culture leaves a bit to be desired, but this is a tad hyperbolic (and I don't really see how these are mutually exclusive, but I digress).

This whole thread.

NJ: 54-43 Obama

[rbt48]

NE:  59R, 39D, 2O.

[Pacific Councillor LiberalJunkie]

56-42 Washington

[cope1989]

Also, what's so shocking about the Obama kind of looking at Arizona and Georgia? Clinton, the last winning dem, won both of them one time during his two campaigns.

[BaldEagle1991]

One thing I'd like to see is Obama doing a lot better in my home state than in 2008 (not by much, but by one or two points), that would be surprising.
