How Selfish Can Omama Be

I think that is likely to happen. If Obama can't carry Ohio, I don't think its likely that he carries the other states. I thnk he carries Ohio and wins the election but if he can't, he is toast in my opinion.

In what scenario do you see obama losing ohio and winning?

As of today, Obama is ahead in all the swing states but North Carolina. Look at Rupert's anonymous data, it even agrees - but unlike Nate Silver, it colors North Carolina as going blue for Obama. That means Obama would sweep all the swings, and the Ipsos/Reuters Obama electoral landslide would happen.

Obama only has to win 2 out of 3 of Ohio, Florida, Colorado to win. Romney could take all the rest of the swings, but Obama would still win.

Romney has to win all three of OH, FL, and Colorado, plus nearly run the table on the rest (the other 5)

Here is Nate Silvers aggregate of national and state polling as of midnight, tonight (including todays polling)

Who is your pollster, and what day was it taken? Likely voters, or registered voters? Third time I've asked you - are you simply refusing to answer?

PS - you might look at the colors on the chart you posted - see all the "tossup" states blue? That means they are going Obama. And North Carolina, long thought to go Romney, is even blue via your anonymous pollster

Have you seen the polls released today? Did you look at the 538 site? What is your comment on the aggregation of Obama as being over 270 votes since June? He's gone way up and way down, but always been over 270.

Other than your dismissal of the information as a "left leaning pollster" when the guy doesn't even do any polling.

Your own poll shows Romney leading in FL, yet you posted that FL is "Likely Obama".... You are the definition of "FRAUD"

Obama has lost any advantage in CO and FL and is losing both by your poll. OH is a toss up by every poll other than the 5 lefty polls that the NYT (the bastion of truth) guy "aggregates" ...lolololololol

No, Rupert, stop calling names and try to understand how polling works. You have to look at the daily polling trends, and where the state has been.

All polls in Florida have Romney barely ahead, and have been trending down in Romney, and strongly Obama, for weeks now.

Plus, now Florida is trending solidly Obama based upon actual early voting results with massive Democratic turnout greater than 2008. Obama already is leading the early voting by 60%, which banks a great lead for him.

The polls are still open when the exit polling and initial precinct data from OH will be released. NV will typically follow suit. You have it right - OH will sway the election.

Hahaha so they gave you access to the early voting records? Or is this more of the New York Times bullspit?

I suggest you read the article accompanying the polling on the site I listed, so you understand polling.

Keep hoping for a Romney win - but that's barely a 1 in 5 chance at this point, and falling daily. Obama is at about 80% right now to win.

As you are obviously completely ignorant of how early voting in the early voting states is assessed, I suggest you try google.

Edit: here, I took pity on your not knowing what you are talking about - here is a chart of all current early voting results as of today, in all the early voting states:

You keep telling yourself that, because the electoral college results are saying you're gone from here the evening of November 6

Yes - the above show that the national popular vote is close. But it's who wins each state, even by 1 vote, that matters in the electoral college.

Please explain how you crowned Obama as Most Likely winning FL when your own poll says the opposite.

Obama got a slight bump by pollsters reading into Christys endorsement of how he said he was going to open the floodgates of borrowed money (ie. remove all red tape) to save his state. Which the President should. These people need help. Now. That is a position held by all, I hope.

But that won't translate on Tuesday. 80% chance?!! Intrade would dispute this by 15% at least.

I didn't crown Obama anything - the professional pollsters crowned him. Again, I posted two extremely accurate and well respected poll aggregators, which you just dismissed out of hand as "lefty" (which is simply false) There is plenty of information on their sites about electoral college voting trends.

As I said, you are looking at today's snapshot number, when you have to look at the current daily trend. Polling is being conducted by multiple organizations on a daily basis now. And Obama is gaining daily, and Romney is falling daily.

In Florida, Dems currently hold the advantage in early voting, 43% to 41%.

Really, none of that has anything to do with affecting the electoral vote, which determines the winner.

This election was pretty well decided months ago, with only 1 significant blip after that (Obama's bad performance the first debate brought Romney up) but then a solidification for Obama, and falling off of Romney, since then.

Please, please, please bet your assumption of election outcome based upon Gravis Marketing

You need to read up on who/what Gravis Marketing is, and how they sample

That's a lie. I posted a Rasmussen poll that showed Romney ahead by 2 points in Fl. You questioned the poll and provided your own poll. You said that Obama is the "Most Likely" winner in FL, yet the exact poll you referenced showed the exact opposite.

How do you explain this?

How do you explain this?

First: I am posting two aggregate pollsters, Nate Silver 538 and TPM, and both have excellent reputations for accuracy. They take Rasmussen and mix with other polls for a total, overall view.

You are looking at one Republican-leaning poll, only Rasmussen.

Secondly: For the third time, I'll repeat the same explanation: TRENDING

Obama is strongly trending up, Romney trending down. Post Rasmussen Florida for the past 5 days in Florida, Rude. Even House of Ras has Romney trending downwards in Florida.

(Here: this is from Friday, but Ras has Romney trending down in Florida the past week http://www.rasmussenreports.com/publ...rida_president )

Thirdly: Democrats beating Republican in early voting.

I've very confident of Obama winning Florida. Won't be by much, but he'll win. Even if Romney wins FL, he would have to still run the table with CO, NV, OH, PA, NC, VA, NH.

That is based upon looking at lots of different polls, over the past six months.

Romney simply has no easy way to 270 votes, Obama does. It's a week before the election. What you see is what you get.
