No matter what you want to believe, you can find it on the internet... and in authoritative looking form!

This is cutting edge wing-nut electoral analysis. I find comfort in this this stuff. Seeing a truly idiotic argument in favor of something is often the most emotionally satisfying debunking.

This... how to put this politiely... this shit-headed cretin actually uses real poll data, but then gives states to Romney where Obama has established and steady leads, but is polling below the 50% level. New Jersey is a "toss-up" because Obama only leads by seven points. New Hampshire is "leaning Romney" because even though Obama clearly leads in NH, it's a traditionally Republican state. And so on. MN, NM, and PA are toss-ups? This bozo ought to call the Romney campaign because they are abandoning some states as lost causes that this fellow thinks are highly competitive.

For the record, Obama is leading in the RCP poll averages in every single one of this fellow's "Leaning Romney" states.


(In case anyone doesn't know, the Examiner is a "severely wing-nut" website.)


Mitt Romney electoral vote lead holds strong through both conventions



The state polls and race for electoral votes shows to be unchanged from the last GOP2112 analysis of the electoral vote race published here August 25, 2012. Not a single state has moved into a different category since then, and Romney maintains the electoral vote lead of 317 to 179 over Obama with 42 electoral votes from Pennsylvania, Minnesota, New Mexico and Oregon remaining in toss-up status. The map above shows which ways the states are leaning in this presidential race.
