Iowa borders Illinois. Obama is undefeated in Iowa -- he pulled a major upset of Hilliary Clinton in the primary there. He owes his entire presidency to Iowa. Romney is 0-for-2 and Iowa and couldn't even beat Rick Santorum there in the primary even though he outspent him by like $10,000 to $1. The only way Romney gets Iowa, WI, and NV is if he breaks the whole entire thing open...and if he does that, he will win Ohio as well. If you don't win Ohio -- you don't win the election. Same for either guy. |

Rasmussen has it dead even at 48%: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/publ...iowa_president Iowa is very much in play, and similar margins have closed in the other left leaning states. Time zone exit poling will have much more of an effect in NV, but the numbers don't jive - OH can go to Obama and he can still lose the Electoral College Obama won Iowa by a 9.5 percent margin in 2008 against John McCain. |

Romney got crushed by Mike Huckabee and John McCain in Iowa in 2008 and didn't even beat Rick Santorum there in the 2012 primary even though Santorum's campaign was almost non-existent before Iowa. Iowa borders Illinois. Obama gets out the vote there. He always does better than the polls say in that state. They aren't passionate about Mormons in Iowa. If Romney wins Iowa, this thing is going to be an absolute landslide victory for him. Obama will get out the vote there. The Romney turnout is very shaky there. |

![]() i was just thinking about the scenario if neither candidate got to 270. it's happened in the past, but because of having more than two candidates. for instance, when john quincy adams became president, his opponents jackson and clay both also received electoral votes. clay and his 'corrupt bargain' with adams ended the issue, and jackson and his supporters were left in the cold (and jackson had received the most popular votes). four years later, andy got his revenge.
the issue would be decided by the house of representatives that take their seats in january. but the vp, in case of a tie...chosen by the senate. so, we could actually end up with a president from one party, a vp from another, for the first time in a long time! my gosh, can you imagine if this actually went to congress? yikes. |

![]() Obama - 287 (but I'm secretly hoping for the 269-269 scenario).

![]() In that case.
Congress chooses the President and the Senate the Vice President Romney/Biden? Romney/Obama? LMAO Personally I'd like to see Ryan/Jackson with Jackson occupying the Mayo Clinic |

![]() Rasmussen’s polling (all conducted during the past week except for in Pennsylvania) shows Romney ahead in Florida (by 5 percentage points), Virginia (by 3 points), Colorado (by 4 points), and New Hampshire (by 2 points). It shows Obama ahead in Pennsylvania (by 5 points), Wisconsin (by 2 points), and Nevada (by 2 points). It shows Ohio and Iowa tied.
