I'm skeptical that Obama's leading by that much or by any at all.

Most polls I've seen have had Romney leading(albeit narrowly) or have been a complete tossup.

^^^ this. Color me skeptical.

I think Obama is well ahead of Mittens but double digits seems way too optimistic.

Yeah, this is too much.  Obama's not up by 12 in NH.

The biggest problem with calling it a 1/64 chance is that you're treating these states' voting as independent events when they are clearly related to each other. A candidate is more likely to carry one swing state if he's already carrying others. There is a good chance one candidate, whether it is Obama or Romney, wins all of those states. That is one of the most likely outcomes.

By George, you've got it!

This.

Ultimately, he'll probably win the state, but not by 12. No way.

I like how everyone (on both sides) speaks in such certain terms about how everything will happen, LOL. We have a long way to go here, maybe this board should be shut down for a few months.
