Ok. I don't usually predict (I hope lol). And I hope Obama wins, because I have a feeling ole Mitt's gonna gut the country.

But aside from my hopes, I found this 2012 Electoral Map.

And then, to be fair, I found this link. The second is a Huff post link. I know a lot of conservatives dismiss Huffingtion, but it predicts a Romney win.

In fact, if you google election predictions, you'll find a 50/50 chance for both of them. So a guess and a vote and....who knows.

But I hope Obama wins, I hope the boobs in the House (Congress) are ousted. And I could live with the Senate as it is.

They waived the environmental rules, exactly as I said to begin with.

A bit of an oversimplification. What they did was let them start selling the "winter mix" which is cheaper to produce about 2-3 weeks early. The problem is that the rest of the country was pretty much already switched over to it and when given a choice between refining fuel for Cali or the other 49 states, most refineries decided to go for the other 49. This caused an artificial
shortage in the Cali market and sent prices sky high there while everyone else dropped 20 cents.
That's one of the main reasons that gas has been dropping in price since early/mid September everyplace but Cali.

Yupper. Look at week 1 of October. Everyone else is burning "winter gas" and the price is dropping and Cali is going thru the roof.

Well, I guess we are .... umhp ... back, now? [8D]

We are still in the Prediction phase, although a little discussion about the "why" of a prediction is certainly on-topic.

Any lurker out there wish to commit to anything?

With deep regret for America and the world, I'd call it for Mittens. Obama would need a lead of 10% at least to offset the effects of the various vote-rigging scams, and if he only scrapes in with a majority based on recounts, we know how that ends.

More specifically, the script being written by the people in charge calls for it. The plan four years back was, after Bush's friends had looted the economy to the point of collapse, to let in a Dem to take the blame for the crash. As it turned out, the crash happened a few months ahead of the plan, but it didn't matter: the faithful still believe it happened on Obama's watch. Now that the recovery has started, the script obviously calls for a Republican administration to come in and take the credit; and what the bosses want, they generally get.

I'd like to be wrong.

You mean that them dirty reputhugians are going to manage this election through voter fraud?

Bastards!

Feds to probe possible voter fraud in Florida

Residents receiving false letters questioning citizenship, officials say

quote:


ORLANDO, Fla.

Officials in Florida have issued a statewide warning about a new trick trying to prevent voters from going to the polls.

Voters are getting letters that look like they are from local elections offices, questioning their citizenship. But Local 6 has learned the letters are fake, and they are going out across Central Florida and many other parts of the state.

"This is a major concern," said Seminole County Supervisor of Elections Mike Ertel, who received a letter from a voter mailed from Seattle with no return address. "You should not expect a letter from your elections office saying, 'You're not registered to vote, please don't go to the polls.' That's ridiculous."

On Tuesday, the state of Florida said there have been reports from more than 20 counties where voters have received fraudulent letters impersonating supervisors of elections.

"We are working with the state’s supervisors of elections as well as law enforcement to find the source of these letters and put a stop to them. We have provided all of the information we have received to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement," said Chris Cate, communications director for the Florida Department of State. "We have no tolerance for voter fraud or intimidation, and any attempts at fraud or intimidation will be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent possible."

Inside the letter is the resident's supervisor of election's name, the resident's name and address, and a warning that doubts the voter's citizenship, saying the resident is not eligible to vote unless a letter is returned in an enclosed form within 15 days.

"It creates confusion, it's just a big distraction," said Linda Tanko of the Orange County Supervisor of Elections Office, which has received multiple letters.

Some voters said it's easy to be fooled.

"It looks official," a Central Florida resident said.

Wow Obama even has the zombies voting for him in North Carolina!

quote:

At latest count, Susan has garnered a total Absentee Ballot vote of over 2,660 people over the age of 110. Someone contact the Guiness Book and warm up the Ford, the Fountain of Youth exists and its right here in lovely NC. It's no wonder people are moving here in droves--maybe the use of tobacco isn't such a bad thing after all? But, on a more serious note, with all of the irregularities going on all over the place, we can now begin to wonder about a few things.

Apparently those ultra-healthy seniors over 110 have aged and are now astoundingly over 112 years old, and are still able to make it to the polls ahead of time.

According to a post originally from the Silence Dogood political blog report, there were at least 758 individuals over the age of 112 who had either risen from their respective graves, or otherwise, to vote once again for the Democrats in charge, who might apparently have also guaranteed them an ever-lasting vote for life and beyond.

Virginia’s attorney general is calling on the legislature to empower his office to launch investigations into allegations of vote-tampering like the incident that occurred last week in Harrisonburg.


Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (Steve Helber - AP) Ken Cuccinelli II on Monday sent a letter to Sen. Donald McEachin in response to his call for a probe at the state level into the Oct. 15 incident. In his response, Cuccinelli said he is not opening an investigation because he hasn’t yet been asked to do so.

“My office does not have the authority to investigate election matters unless explicitly requested to do so by State Board of Elections, a local commonwealth’s attorney, or a local electoral board member,” the letter reads. “No such request has been made to date. ... My hands are tied in this matter.”

McEachin (D-Richmond) said he has seen the letter and suggested that political motivations could be the reason Cuccinelli is not pursuing the issue.

“A Republican-controlled State Board of Elections is not asking the Republican attorney general to investigate what a Republican vendor did about putting voter registration forms in the trash,” McEachin said when reached by telephone Monday. “Is anybody surprised?”

McEachin, who ran for state attorney general in 2001, said “there may be other ways” to prompt an investigation, but he did not elaborate on what those options could be.


Colin Small, of Phoenixville, Pa., was arrested on charges that he disposed of eight voter registration forms. (Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office) At issue is an incident that began after a Rockingham County business owner found eight voter registration forms discarded behind his store. On Thursday, sheriff’s deputies arrested Colin Small of Phoenixville, Pa., on 13 charges of voter registration fraud.

Small was employed by Pinpoint, a company contracted by the Republican Party of Virginia to register voters. He has been released on bond.

Republicans have condemned the incident as Democrats called for an investigation. In his letter, Cuccinelli called for the upcoming General Assembly to consider legislation that would provide investigative authority to the Attorney General’s Office in relation to vote tampering and voter fraud.

Under state law, the attorney general does not currently have the authority to launch such investigations.

The Associated Press has reported that the State Board of Elections would not request an investigation by Cuccinelli’s office. But on Monday Donald Palmer, the board’s secretary, said board members have not decided whether to request an investigation and would need unanimous support to reach that decision.

“Tampering with voter forms is a serious crime, and I believe that this allegation should be thoroughly investigated,” the letter continues. “The current system is cumbersome and less effective than it would be if the prosecutors of the office of the attorney general could work across all of our local jurisdictions to punish violators.”

So it would seem, and with my apologies to you for distracting.

After watching the disgrace the President made of himself and the office last night, I'm going to stick my neck out and say Romney will win the election, and by a margin only the biggest of douchebags will try to lie away. The Obama campaign may still have some dirty trick they are waiting to fling, but I'm putting my faith in the ability of the American people to see right through it, if it comes.

Do you remember the 2010 Congressional elections, where we were saying it was going to be historic? The Dem true believers just couldn't see it: they were living in their own little bubble.

This kinda has the same feeling, and has had for several months.

Rove`s "map" looks that way too.


I follow the Huffpo electoral map.


It also macthes with just about every MSM poll.


Reuters just published this prediction.....

http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-romney-electoral-college-map-reuters-poll-ipsos-2012-10

Obama, in a landslide....it`s a bit to rosie tho,IMHO.

Huffpo uses a methodology where they use hundreds of local and national polls together.I think there`s less chance of skewing that way.

http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/2012/romney-vs-obama-electoral-map?hw

It puts the President only 17 votes short of the 270 needed to win.
