For First Time, Electoral Map Predicts Romney as Winner
One of the most followed electoral college predictors is the Real Clear Politics Electoral College map, and up until recently, the map predicted President
Obama as the winner. Now, however, the map predicts Romney as the victor in the 2012 election.
To make matters worse, Gallup has President Obama down by seven in today’s poll. Not all the polls taken since the second debate are in, and maybe President Obama will get more of a bounce in future polls, but as it stands now, it’s not looking good for the president.
New York Times statistician Nate Silver still gives President Obama a slight edge over Mitt Romney though:
Throughout this election cycle, you would have done very well by predicting that the polls would eventually settle in at an overall lead for Mr. Obama of about two percentage points. Whenever his lead has been larger than that, it has come back to earth. But Mr. Obama has also rebounded at moments when the polls seemed to suggest an even closer race.
So Mr. Silver seems to be predicting a rebound for President Obama, and, as of today, still predicts an Obama victory. But he also cautions that polls taken immediately after a debate don’t usually have much of an impact on the outcome of the election.
What does it all mean? That this race is too close to call. President Obama went into the election with McCain with a lead, but if he doesn’t pull up his numbers, he’ll be going into this upcoming election as the underdog.
What do you think he should do to pull ahead of Romney? What advice could you offer him?

If you thought things were bad when BUSH was in office…just let ROMNEY HOOD get in….People who vote for Romney will be very sorry…and those who “wanted to vote for Obama but don’t”— will also feel the heat IF those 2 rightwing nuts (R & R) DUMB & DUMBER get in the White House.
AMEN TO THAT MY BROTHER!!! MY ADVICE IS FOR YOU, YOU, & YOU & YOU TOO TO GET OFF YOUR a*s AND VOOOOOOTE!!!!!!!!! OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE NO ONE ELSE TO BLAME BUT YOU!
You know, the “polls” in 2008 favored John McCain, and GUESS WHAT!! Do you know how many MINORITIES are omitted in these polls…especially in the swing states! After the 1st Debate (Pres Obama’s pitiful performance) it was verified that the so called “bumb” had occurred in the red southern states….no significant bumb in the north, northeast — very mininal impact outwest. So let’s all calm down…the polls are biased and the margin of error is sometimes LARGER THAN WHAT THESE POLLSTERS WANT TO ADMIT!!! The current GALLOP POLL is a PRIME EXAMPLE.
Tell him to stay the course and continue to pound home the fact that romney and the other 480 billionaires in this country will OWN You if he were to win.!!! This race is not for the faint at heart, and there will be alot of twists and turns before and even after its over.
O B A M A PRESIDENT OF THE USA…VOTE NOVEMBER 6
