We all know the entire world looks towards PD for guidance. Everything that was or is cool since 2005 started on PD. That being said, NYT, Fox, WSJ, MSNBC, The Gallup Poll and Rasmussen have all been eyeing us for clarification on this years election. Well PD, lets give them some.
Anyone can vote but I am more interested in seeing what the outcome will be for of age Americans on PD.
VOTE
I'll watch this thread too.
I had to wait at the DMV for 3 hours to get my voter ID because of the republicans.

If these numbers are right then that prof. was dead wrong. Jesus.
Yeah at this point I unfortunately have to admit that Obama isn't going to really win the popular vote. However, it is very unlikely that Romeny will win because he is far behind in the electoral vote. I think he has to win almost all the battleground states to win.

looking at the history, the democrats should win Wisconsin Michigan Pennsylvania New Hampshire
Im pretty sure Romney is getting Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana, and Nevada back
score:
Obama: 251
Romney: 231
the real toss ups are Colorado, Iowa, Ohio, and Florida
-if Obama wins Florida, he wins instantly
-If he wins Ohio + any other state, he wins
-For Romeny to win, he MUST win Florida AND Ohio AND another state
this is a pretty conservative estimate to, Indiana might go to the democrats, and Colorado might be a sure win as well, if that is the case Obama already won the election 271 right there
my predictions for the electoral votes

I guess post what you will think will happen
why Nevada?
Here's the map I generated, colouring in various battleground states based on the 1 or 2% sway they might hold either way. I made Wisconsin democrat, as even though it has a 49-49 split, it has voted democrat since 1988. Even if Wisconsin were to vote Republican, Obama would still win with 280 electoral votes:

Obama has been consistently leading in Nevada, and Romney has been unable to win a single state poll there. It's the same story with Ohio, and Wisconsin.
I have a strong feeling Colorado is going to go blue this year
As of right now I feel Romney will take Colorado, Ohio, Wisconsin, Florida, Virginia and Pennsylvania. But I will revise once more right before the election.

Dogar, you do realize how fucked up Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have gotten under republican rule? It is very unlikely that they will do it again with all the shit still fresh in the public memory. Plus currently polls suggest they are democratic at the moment.
There is absolutely no way in hell Romney is going to win Pennsylvania. It's just not going to happen. Wisconsin and Ohio are closer but Obama has had a lead in both states for a very long time and he has continually held them. There is a major issue though, that a tie goes to Romney because of the house. Although we'll still have Biden for VP at least.Quote:

I think the democrat party when in power should systematically move people into and out of swing states in order to guarantee elections.
