    You really think Romney is winning Oregon?

    It's fixed now. I don't know why it gave me the wrong link.

    The OP's map has a very, very real chance of happening. I'd take his over everybody else's I've seen on here.

    Romney has already wrapped VA and FLA. Don't know why anybody is giving them to OBama.

    Probably because "believe everything I say even though I can't back it up at all!" is not a terribly convincing logic chain.

    It has absolutely no chance of happening. Romeny's losing Oregon by 9 points, Pennsylvania by 5, Michigan by 7, Wisconsin by 4, Nevada by 2.5, Ohio by 3, and New Jersey by 14. Not to mention that he's losing in most polls in Iowa, Colorado, and Virginia though it's very tight.

    Oregon, Pennsylvania, New Jersey (really? New Jersey?), and Michigan are off the board. They're locked up already.

    You and Commodore must've been smoking the same batch of crack if you think there's a chance that plays out.

    It's funny that they point to polls (like Michigan above) to show what they want, but ignore all the polls otherwise.

    You can look at that polling firms history and they've consistently been an outlier. You can look back to last month when they gave Obama a 1.8% edge while every other polling firm was giving Obama +9, +10, +14. Even Rassmussen was giving Obama +12. In August, when every other poll was showing Obama up by 5 or 6, they had Romney up 4.

    Sorry. Didn't see Oregon. You're right on that. That's a blue state. But Michigan....I'm afraid we might see a surprise in Michigan.

    Naw. I've got way more than that on the line regarding the general election.

    Based on current polls, and pretty accurate IMO.

    Going to be a very close race, but I still think it's Obama's to lose.
