If we lost Missouri, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Oregon, and Colorado

We would win anyway. Ha, ha. 274 electoral votes. 270 needed.

At this (early) point Ohio looks like the make-or-break spot. (Would need 2 of CO, OR and VA to win without OH)

And Claire's opponents are weak. I think she'll win and carry the state for Obama.

But we still have 6 months to go. Well, closer to 5. A lot can happen in the meantime.

The Mormons have been plotting Romney's presidency since Obama was elected. Their money is deep, vicious, and hidden. Trust me. My sister is married to one.

Damn. I knew the repukes were evil, but that would be a major election theft.

Tennessee is only pink and not bright red!

Did we suddenly get an influx of educated people or are our blue cities better represented over our crimson counties?

And since statewide presidential election polls are relatively rare this early in non-swing states, the only available polling in some places (at this point) might not be the best.

I don't know.
