You really are SO irritating.
No it's not, Colorado has had such a tremendous shift in becoming so much more liberal over the years. Like, actually liberal. To say it's becoming conservative/evangelical is just so completely...wrong.

Romney camp makes same argument about Mass. Job Record that Obama camp has been making
http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2...b-creation-47th-fehrnstrom.php?ref=fpnewsfeed
Basically, they are saying Romney inherited a BAD ECONOMY so his Jobs record is better than it looks. And that what matters is how the jobs record looks after his policies took effect i.e. ignore the first year.
Well then...let's do the same for Obama k?

I would hesitate to call any state that voted for a Democratic senator AND governor in 2010 (both aligned closely with Obama - Bennet especially) anything worse than a toss-up.
But then PD doesn't know what he's talking about.

Yea, CO and NC were the two states where Democrats performed decently in 2010. CO for Senate/Governor and NC with GOP only flipping 1 seat

Democrats also did well in California, Delaware, West Virginia, and Hawaii - states where they'd be expected to perform (except for WV, which is blood red in presidential elections).
In NC their congressional seats were a bit foolproof because of the Democratic gerrymander in 2000, one reason why the GOP gerrymander this year is such a loss for Democrats - it turns a blue gerrymander into a red one, doubling the impact (in states like MI, PA, OH etc. the maps were already gerrymanders and the new ones are just slightly worse).
Remember when Wisconsin leaned Dem last week? By your definition it should be a toss up.
foisted!

Eh, probably, but I doubt Mitt'd do it.

Uh. I'm pretty sure women in New York are familiar with Vogue and Sarah Jessica Parker. Obviously this ad is only meant to be local.
One with Sarah Jessica Parker doing it just aired on MTV here. It wasn't that bad, kinda kitschy, but not bad at all.
Can't wait for PhoenixDark and eznark to tell us Massachusetts is up for grabs, too!
And really, it's not. I don't think anyone at the Obama campaign wants this to be at the forefront of their advertising strategy. Don't count on seeing this on tv all too much if at all.
He said it's not an ad.

Last PPP poll of WI recall: Walker 50 Barrett 47.
Still a GOP lean, but not unwinnable. We'll see on Tuesday. As PPP's tweet says:

From what I've heard, turnout is pretty close to maxed out in Milwaukee and Madison (the two big Dem strongholds), but Barrett would have to stay competitive outstate to actually win. This'll be a test of his GOTV operation in those areas.PPP said:

Hm, mis click.
No OH or FL, but VA? And IA+CO+NV?
I think Obama will win either OH or FL but not both (probably FL, I dunno). It will be hard for him to win NV because they have the worst UE and that's probably not going to change. IA is looking shaky, too. I think CO is his best bet out of those three, but he needs to get one for sure. :|

Obama's been performing very well in VA even during his toughest times. The rapidly changing demographics of the state is making it very purple (if not outright blue) at the presidential level. It's the same story for NC, though that state isn't tilting nearly as blue as VA is.
VA going blue, NC becoming a legit battleground state, and western states like CO leaning blue is making the EC map tilt in favor of Democrats. Unless the GOP pick off some lean blue states (like WI or OR), the EC map will get really tough for them in the coming years.

I know, right? Obama only cares about fixing the economy by taxing the rich, its not like he gave a speech last week about the importance of American jobs or anything.
For some reason PPP decided to drop the third party candidate from their polling this time around. Barrett gained 2 points from last time to this one, and if I remember correctly that third party nutter got right around 2. The guy is on ballots, so I don't know why they didn't keep him on the poll.
I'm sticking with 6 point win for Walker. I didn't predict the race last time, but it looks like the only senate race that will be close is the Wanggaard race. I think he will lose.
Nevermind, I'm voting Barrett. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w95O2snV430

Perfect. Seriously, I come to Poligaf when I'm having a rough day to read PD's post for comic relief.
Breitbart's spirit is trapped in that painting. If you place an infant in front of it, Breitbart will be able to posses him to gain a physical form before the November election.

Here's Obama's campaign's map:
http://www.270towin.com/2012_election_predictions.php?mapid=mkK
Odd but understandable (imo) that Wisconsin and New Hampshire are toss-ups, when polls in both have Obama winning by decent margins. I'm sure a lot of that has to do with enthusiasm and maintaining the image of a close race, and things can change depending on the economy and other events. I don't think the WI recall will have much effect on the presidential election though, much to PD's dismay (I can imagine a certain subset of swing voters going for Obama but against recalls on principle, and depressed Dem turnout only goes so far - minorities and youth will still be mobilized to vote for Obama).
The minimum Obama would need to win under such a map would be Wisconsin, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado. It's certainly doable and in a close election, I'd say Romney's the underdog.
