they ought to be. They can't come back there. Even voter suppression won't help in PA.

They have a shot at FL, but that won't be enough. They absolutely need to win 4 out of 5 of FL, OH, VA, NV and IA and it just ain't there. And they probably have to tip WI and maybe NH even at that.

But with Constitution Party candidate Goode on the ballot in VA, OBAMA has like an 8 point lead in the polling.

I'm pretty sure the tie would occur at 269, not 270. If you get 270, you win, period. JoePhilly Sep 2012 #22
