Swing States in 2012 Presidential Election

. . . So where do you suppose the candidates are going to focus their time and energy on during the last days of the campaign?

Thank you, Mr. Obvious.

The real question is where from among the swing states, you goofy old geezer.

There is a lot of ground to cover and the time is ticking down fast.

I don't think either candidate can focus on all of the swing states and risk losing the ones they can win.

. . . The candidates will have to decide where to muster their troops in order to maximize their chances of victory in November.

Geez. Ya think?

Damn!

It's like talking to a wooden dummy with some people.

. . . Anybody out there with something to contribute besides sarcasm?

Fast Gunn, be CAREFUL!

You could be permanently banned for outing a Real World picture of COF! You're lucky he wasn't wearing one of those sticky Tea Party Patriots labels that said, "Hello, my name is COF."

Whew! I like your posts too must to lose you!

How do you do it, Stevie?

Didn't you say you had lost your sight and used a braille keyboard?

. . . How were you able to recognize the old geezer so quickly?

It's the caffeine.

There is one state you can cross off the list.



MONEY CAN'T BUY EVERYTHING...INCLUDING PENNSYLVANIA!

Karl Rove’s Super PAC, Crossroads GPS, and the Koch Brother’s Americans for Prosperity have given up the ghost in the Keystone State and pulled their advertising dollars, conceding victory to President Obama.

Okay, can we now have someone produce a list of the swing states and remove Pennsylvania from the list?

We list everything that we know.
Cross out everything that we don't.
Then we guess and what needs to happen next.

You need to spread your troupes out strategically in order to have the most impact on your adversary.

By late October, the list shown be down to about 4 or 5 states and then the two parties converge there for a final show-down.

According to Rasmussen:
NV, MI, NH -- leaning dem
AZ - solid rep
NC - leaning rep
that leaves CO, MO, WI, FL, VA, OH, IA

The RCP average has PA at 7.7 % Obama over Romney with Romney trending upward. Sorry Big Louise you posted crap again. Obama has never had an 11 point lead over Romney in PA according to RCP. (RCP=Real Clear Politics)

Michigan is at 2.4 % Obama over Romney with Romney trending upward again.

Wisconsin is at 1.4 % Obama over Romney with Romney trending upward again.

Nevada is at 3.3 % Obama over Romney with Romney very slowing trending upward.

New Hampshire is at 3.5 % Obama over Romney with both holding steady for the last two weeks.

Ohio is at .7% Obama over Romney with Romney closing very fast.

Missouri is at 6 % Romney over Obama with Obama fading.

Florida is at .6 % Obama over Romney with Romney trending upward quickly.

Iowa is at .2 % Obama over Romney with Romney trending upward.

Colorado is at 2.3% Obama over Romney with Romney holding steady.

Arizona is at 11% Romney over Obama with... why bother on this one.

North Carolina is at 2 % Romney over Obama with Romney increasing his lead.

There you go, PA will probably go for Obama but he does have to fight for it. Colorado, Michigan, and New Hampshire will probably go for Obama but they are within the margin of error. Arizona and Missouri are going to go for Romney and the rest look good for Romney given 60 more days. Romney wins with 302 electoral votes!

I do believe there will be a national epiphany after the first debate. Get your shots in now, tea baggers and hate mongers, while this is still a race.

Romney has pulled all his advertising from Michigan and Pennsylvania. And in truth, both Missouri and Arizona are probably out of reach for the President (although I heard on a phone call today tht there is still some limited optimism on Arizona). New Hampshire isn't yet out of reach for Romney, but it's close. Other than that, the map is accurate.
