And what are you basing all of this on? wadsy Send a noteboard - 03/03/2012 09:54:06 PM
you come out and say that he wont win a few states -though I do agree MO is unlikely. The reason why these states are considered toss ups is that the polling shows it is all close either deadlocked or a narrow advantage for one side. Simply stating otherwise because of a 'mormon' population -where I could say a large hispanic population- doesn't make it less of a toss up.

I'd disagree with a couple of the states being toss ups like Michigan -the primary didn't do Romney the likely nominee any favours with Obama significantly up against him in the polls now. In general though the map is reasonable and lines up relatively well with what most of the political experts would suggest.

I have never understood the point of the Electoral College. - 29/02/2012 11:39:11 PM 643 Views
You don't think like a politician then - 01/03/2012 12:38:36 AM 685 Views
I also have not seen most of that mentioned in the popular vs. electoral debate. - 01/03/2012 02:34:31 PM 577 Views
what about one vote one value? - 02/03/2012 11:51:32 PM 655 Views
That has not really changed. - 03/03/2012 03:30:34 AM 846 Views
a bit simplistic and unrealistic - 02/03/2012 11:44:02 PM 617 Views
When illustrating a point realism is not required and simplicity is a plus - 03/03/2012 03:04:26 AM 629 Views
I have a couple quibbles. - 03/03/2012 05:23:46 AM 660 Views
Oh, certainly, I'm over-generalizing but I was already getting long-winded - 03/03/2012 06:52:04 AM 621 Views
I hate when people do that. - 05/03/2012 09:49:36 AM 601 Views
What a bunch of waffle! - 03/03/2012 10:47:19 AM 761 Views
First you complain of simplicity then of my lack of brevity? - 03/03/2012 11:18:11 AM 553 Views
A simplistic argument doesn't mean it's brief *NM* - 03/03/2012 09:55:51 PM 307 Views
Also I don't like this refrain that implies only the POTUS vote matters - 03/03/2012 03:29:58 AM 772 Views
IMHO, parliaments choosing prime ministers is LESS democratic than the electoral college. - 03/03/2012 05:57:41 AM 580 Views

Romney or Obama, either way, America loses. *NM* - 02/03/2012 01:10:26 AM 418 Views

Romney is damaged - 02/03/2012 11:27:33 PM 555 Views
Obama is rather damaged also; it will probably come down to FL and OH, yet again. - 03/03/2012 02:23:53 AM 665 Views
I'm hoping for Rubio as VP... then FL probably won't matter - 03/03/2012 04:28:08 AM 551 Views

Yeah, I think we had that conversation already, several times, in fact. - 07/03/2012 05:36:45 AM 518 Views
