RCP Ohio average is now +3.0% O. Only one poll showing a tie

 

[polyh3dron]

Never count your chickens dude.

We can have a salty tears OT no matter who wins.

 

[The Librarian]

Good SUSA poll.

Nate Silver ‏@fivethirtyeight

National polls are quite predictable at this point. Everything clustering around Obama +1 +/- the firm's house effect.

Can't I open just one present before Christmas?

 

[Deleted member 47027]

It is a really close race. Obama has the advantage but its a close race.

Agreed. It is really close. We'll see exactly how close soon, but this is absolutely a close race.

We can have a salty tears OT no matter who wins.

As long as it keeps it out of here and we can get to work, no matter who wins.

 

[HBP]

last one

Spoiler

for now

I have a feeling I'm going to regret this question, but how exactly are they cheating?

 

[jamesinclair]

How many are still without power?

About a million still. All Obama voters.

Election day is tomorrow. Most people have power back on. Gasoline prices had no effect on the election. You're rude.

You're rude. 1 million is a shit ton of people still with no power.

 

[Effect]

Anyone know how much snow is still on the ground in West Virginia and the western part of Virginia?

herm I wonder who that might be

The thing about Ohio is that the poll margins are very slim, but none of them show Romney ahead.

 

[Black Republican]

hope u got the popcorn ready boys

 

[speculawyer]

Free Republic people seem to be clinging to Gallup predicting the winner in all but Dewey/Truman and Ford/Carter.

If that's all they have left to cling to... lol

Well at best, Romney will win the popular vote by the poll. That is not going to be enough.

3.0% might look slim on its surface, but it really isn't. That's a lot of votes.

1.5% though? That's a little too close.

 

[RDreamer]

Well at best, Romney will win the popular vote by the poll. That is not going to be enough.

What's funny is in the same thread one points to Nate Silver saying if Romney even won the popular vote by a point he'd also win the electoral college.

It's kind of funny seeing them cite Silver for something...

 

[BobTheFork]

There is no way Obama loses CO if this is right..

I wish that meant I could just get high, but I still have drug tests for work and I doubt they will even change that.

Interestingly enough, when they passed this before in Denver, they just trumped it with state law. now that it will be a state law some politicians and saying they will just bow to the Federal law and it won't change again.

 

[harmonize]

I'd like to think we could all rally around President-elect Roseanne.

 

[RDreamer]

Also, heh:

If that latest Rasmussen Party ID affiliation is correct, this is going to be a MASSIVE BLOWOUT!!

Republicans UP 3% - DUmmies DOWN almost 2% from the 2010 elections

And we ALL KNOW what happened then! This has GOT to be a 55-45 BLOWOUT or BETTER!

I want to do some SERIOUS channel surfing tomorrow when the poll results start rolling in, to experience the SHOCK AND AWE the Media Morons are gonna hopefully get!

C'mon dude, the chickens have hatched and are ready to be turned into chicken sandwiches.

From chic-fil-a? Bad news for Obama.

God people are so fucking dumb about this party affiliation business.

 

[RDreamer]

It is...

LO-fucking-L

This isn’t making sense.....my only theory on this is that Obama since he was born.....has been treated differently. He’s been given everything and everyone else has carried him, protected him, and promoted him. These pollsters may not be the exception either. From what I see and what I know in my heart, Mitt has this.

Where is Gallup's final election writeup and prediction? Or are they just gonna not do one this year?

 

[witness]

Florida got my moms absentee ballot on Friday. 67 year old registered Republican and she voted Democrat across the board. I love it!

+1 Obama

Romney also returing to PA with a last minute rally in Pittsburgh tomorrow. What the hell are they seeing in their polling there?

 

[Suikoguy]

Probably going to pull a CNN if they do it.

This campaign is full of morons. I can't wait to see top staff of his campaign become full-time mid-day MSNBC token republican contributors.

They drive a fucking Nissan, lol wtf

fucking god, great catch

Is there any evidence at all that Rallies do anything

The hope is that this will force matters into the surpreme court where they'll figure out if its constitutional for the feds to regulate marijuana like this. Worse comes to worse it'll force all of our police officers to stay out of it and only the feds will be able to do anything about it.

 

[Stinkles]

They don't win without it. Republican campaigns always do this in the final days and it never amounts to anything. It's fool's gold. They have to go for a hail mary because they have so few realistic paths to 270 without one.

 

[B-Dubs]

Well if you're ground game is any good you can register them to vote/take them to a polling place to vote.

 

[Black Republican]

If 538.com is bang on the electoral vote, do we call him Nate Godd?

 

[RDreamer]

Well if you're ground game is any good you can register them to vote/take them to a polling place to vote.

Most of the people at the rallies are probably already registered. That's probably especially true for a republican rally with just the candidate. I guess I could see a rally with Katy Perry or something like Obama's been doing having a few stragglers that aren't registered and might not have voted (because they're young and may have come for the music or whatever).

Still, chances are if you found your way to a rally you're probably voting.

 

[Measley]

Them campaigning in Pennsylvania just proves that Ohio is a lost cause. Romney has as much chance of winning PA as Obama does winning AZ.

Ann Coulter ‏@AnnCoulter
I can't see a scenario where Romney wins less than 273 electoral votes.

Don't worry, Anne - one will be demonstrated for you tomorrow night. Bring a hanky.

If 538.com is bang on the electoral vote, do we call him Nate Godd?

I hope not. Chuck was ruined with that stuff last time around.

 

[Angry Grimace]

If 538.com is bang on the electoral vote, do we call him Nate Godd?

Nope, he graduates to Nate Gold.

lol.

Weird, didn't she already predict that if they didn't nominate Christie they would lose?

 

[Tim-E]

I hope Nate stays where he is if his map hits the mark. I don't want him to be ruined by TV punditry.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Hey, anybody know good election apps for phones? I'd like something where I can plug in the ballot issues and downticket races that I care about and have my own dashboard/scoreboard tailored just for me, with fast results?

 

[el retorno]

Florida got my moms absentee ballot on Friday. 67 year old registered Republican and she voted Democrat across the board. I love it!

+1 Obama

Any reason why she switched?

 

[Hawkian]

I think he should skip straight to Nate Platinum

 

[AlteredBeast]

I hope Nate stays where he is if his map hits the mark. I don't want him to be ruined by TV punditry.

He doesn't have the personality for TV. No worries of him becoming some bombastic pundit. He is safe.

This is probably true. At least on a level where full legalization could thrive. Companies like Marlbro won't start producing mass market product until the feds are on board. I expect it to be similar to medical use.

Though it would add pressure nationally if CO and more states adport a pro legalization stance.
