States that swung towards Obama

[Chaddyr23]

Why did the Gulf Coast states swing towards the President?! Did Cheesy Grits not go over well in the Deep South!?

After seeing my home county (Gloucester) fall to Christie in 2009, it pleases me greatly to see southern NJ - and indeed the state as a whole - overwhelmingly lend its support to President Obama once more. Not that I expected otherwise, though Salem flipping would not have been surprising as it nearly did.

I've got:

Alaska
New Jersey
Louisiana
Mississippi
Maryland
Rhode Island

with New York marginally swinging towards Romney.

It's funny to think that, however disappointing this election may be for Republicans, Romney succeeded in selling himself as "Mr. Coal." Through the entire campaign, I had thought that the issue was over-discussed and overplayed, but I wonder whether in some parallel universe in which Romney won PA, that's what we're all talking about.

I TOLD YOU, I INKSING TOLD YOU!  NJ got a 2 pt bounce from Sandy.  58% for Obama!  I am a golden god.

Calm down. It's quite obvious that well handled disasters can swing more votes than most issues.  Same thing happened in Manitoba last year. And had there been an election after Sept 11, Bush would have won in a landslide.

Hatman, this is not the only prediction I got dead on.  Forgive me for my complete lack of humility, but I'm going to toot my horn for a few days because I nailed this one on every level in AUGUST. 

BTW, I changed my Jersey prediction immediately after Sandy from 55-44 to 57-42 and got a load of BS for it, that no one would ever change their vote because of the hurricane.  Guess what... NJ was the only Dem state to swing to Obama.

I have so far tallied 23 states where there is a 100% precinct count and so far there has not been a single state where there has been a swing to the President. The smallest Romney swing was in Louisiana (Romney -0.03% vs Obama -0.11%, swing of 0.04% to Romney). The biggest swing so far is, perhaps not that suprising, Utah which recorded a staggering 9.83% swing (Romney +10.13% vs Obama -9.52%).

I've got:

Alaska
New Jersey
Louisiana
Mississippi
Maryland
Rhode Island

with New York marginally swinging towards Romney.

Hopefully when a 100% of New York is in, it'll swing to the President.

After 24 states tallied, we have a swing to the President in Mississippi:

Romney 55.51% (-0.67% on 2008)
Obama 43.55% (+0.55% on 2008)
Swing: 0.61% to Obama
