I wonder how people who don't "like" anything lean?

The map in the background is a 290-248 win for Obama.

Ari Shapiro ‏@Ari_Shapiro
Yes. More than. Not for our lack of trying. “@MGrassini: Has Romney actually not answered a question from the press in 3 weeks?”

twitter saying his speech today was p good, though

Really New Jersey and Connecticut would be the only northeast states competitive enough (and destroyed enough) that could possibly flip due to non-voters. The devastated areas of New Jersey are a mixed bag. While there is significant damage in Democratic strongholds across the Hudson from NYC, Republican wins in New Jersey are built on big margins in Ocean, Morris, and Monmouth Counties, and these areas also significantly devastated/impacted (Ocean and Monmouth are along the coast). Connecticut is a bit harder to predict because the devastated coastal areas are primarily Democratic leaning, but Connecticut is also a few points more Democratic than New Jersey to start with.

With this said, I doubt either flip, although it could impact the Connecticut senate race.

McConnell says Senate Republicans will block Obama's agenda if he's reelected.

Random but it's pretty crazy that Texas now has 9 more electoral votes than New York and Florida and New York have the same amount

Circling the wagons? Trying to frighten people to vote for Romney?

Seems like an odd thing for him to say at this moment. Optics aren't great, either because Obama II is inevitable and it makes the Rs look petulant, or because Obama is on the ropes and it looks like sort of trying a "threat" as a "Vote Romney" plug.

If I were guessing today, I'd guess the same, but I stand my prediction of two weeks ago, with VA going for Romney.

It has a better chance of going Romney than Utah has of going Obama. I'll give you that. But I'll assume that 21 straight Obama winning polls suggest a trend.


Obama now +4.8 in the polling average, just .2 below 50%. Rasmussen has him at 52%.

moz you might wanna check the link out, it's about harry reid saying that senate dems will block romney's agenda when he's in office. pretty sure jerz was being facetious here, trying to draw a parallel to the mcconell comment from 2010.

“Mitt Romney’s fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his ‘severely conservative’ agenda is laughable,” Reid said in a statement. “In fact, Mitt Romney’s Tea Party agenda has already been rejected in the Senate. In the past few months, we have voted down many of the major policies that Mitt Romney has run on, from the Ryan plan to end Medicare as we know it, to the Blunt Amendment to deny women access to contraception, to more tax giveaways for millionaires and billionaires, to a draconian spending plan that would gut critical services for seniors and the most vulnerable Americans.”


maybe just me, but this is not the same as saying "our #1 goal is to make sure he's a one term president"
