Things are looking so good right now

237 EVs are in the bag.
18 in Ohio is almost in the bag.
10 in Wisconsin is very probable.
6 in NV is very probable.
271 electoral votes right there.

If we lose something above, we have at least 50/50 shots at CO, IA, NH, AND VA to make up some ground. We also have about 30% shots at FL and NC. I just don't see Romney having a path to 270.

the polls in the states that are going to decide this race are not going in his direction.
the red states are getting redder, and that's about all he's got.

I agree. In reality IA is closer to 70-75% probable.

I want to hear President Obama say the exact same thing resident bush* said in 2004, (paraphrase)"I've got political capital and I'm going to spend it"

I'm watching the fucking polls tilting the wrong way in some kind of bizarre surge based on nothing in the news cycle.
