The latest Gallup poll has Romney over Obama 47% to 45%. It looks like it's going to be a horse race. With the economy continuing to languish, Romney should be able to pull it off. Obama, himself said, that if he couldn't turn the economy around in three years, he wouldn't get re-elected. This Gallup poll is based on registered voters. That type of sample group tends to inflate Obama's support.

Joe the Bloehard, please give Whirly a call when Romney reaches 270 electoral votes in the "very respectable" (current) RCP Swing States analysis. Currently, Romney is only 126 electoral votes behind Obama. Once Romney crosses the 270 electoral vote threshold, I feel certain that Whirly will immediately share the info with the rest of us! Why? Because the info will be coming from a "very respectable" source, of course!
