Silver's most recent update flips Florida back to blue by the slimmest of margins and ups Obama's chances to 92%. According to his tweets, Obama gained 1.5 points in 12 national polls released today and is now favored to win the popular vote by 2-3%.

...and we could have just skipped that year of campaigning (as I said last spring), saved $6 Billion (counting the candidates campaigns and other groups supporting a pres. candidate, per NPR), and anointed Barry to a second term without any of the hassles. Seriously, it all gained us absolutely nothing.

Oh, and he took Ohio off the competitive state list and now has it as a "safe Obama."

Wow.

Edit: And he moved NE-2 from safe Romney to likely Romney and added it to the competitive states list...There must have been some major movement in the national polls to do that.

No, because he voted Democratic. As I said in an earlier thread, the Dems have elevated voter fraud to an art form - with zero consequences.

Five? (CC, DU, AFA, UND, UAH)

Basically, in my scenario, Romney makes the South red again and flips CO back, but without Ohio it's useless.

Could it be that Mitt Romney's editorial "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" costs him (Ohio) the election? Would that be interesting.

Methinks you greatly overestimate the beer-addled memory of the average UAW line worker. ;)

Kidding aside, there was chatter this morning that Romney lost the election by focusing on the economy "too much". Uh...what? That's the most glaring issue of Obama's job performance. Romney should've kept the sole focus of the Republican platform on the stagnant economy, and offered a real economic plan which was a clear alternative to the President's. If the Tea Party squad wasn't busy derping about "legitimate" rape being "God's will", and Romney hadn't lost all credibility on the foreign policy front by blowing what should've been a leisurely, low-key trip to Europe, he'd be favored to win tomorrow.

EDIT: Well, they should be voting in Dixville Notch.

I am looking forward to an orderly election today, which will eliminate the need for a violent blood bath.

Interesting theory, but doubtful. Detroit did go bankrupt, after all! :) It was merely a government-managed bankruptcy reorganization instead of a traditional bankruptcy reorganization. Many companies that go through bankruptcy emerge as viable businesses. Very few bankruptcies involve total liquidation; even when there is some liquidation, separate business units are sold off as viable stand-alone businesses in their own right.

What cost Romney the election was Hurrican Sandy. If the Hurricane had not struck, Obama loses big-time.

The hug from Chris Christie. The opportunity to look Presidential at all those photo ops. The fact that Romney completely disappeared from the news cycle entirely for four or five days.

The fact that FEMA's ineptitude and failure to respond has been buried to the bottom of page 18. The fact that the white people in devastated, waterlogged Staten Island who've been ignored and abandoned don't provoke the same liberal media outrage as the blacks in New Orleans during Katrina. All sorts of elements combined.
