Re: 51-45/ Revised. 52-45/ Electoral Shift

According to RCP today it is Romney 206, Obama 201 with 131 Toss Ups. I would have to presume you are looking at the map with no Toss Ups to get your figure. Even at that, it is a far cry from the 365-173 Obama victory of 2008, which is indicative of an erosion of support in the Union for the policies of Obama that I alluded to earlier.

And the Electoral College projections are STILL: Obama: 277 / RMoney: 206 (270 to win)....

I wish you guys well in your endeavor....

No presumption needed....I said in my post those were the numbers with no toss ups.

I really never expected Obama to have as big a victory this election as the last......it has been a rough 4 years, what is surprising me is that the Republicans didn't start with an enormous advantage.....and I believe that is because of their choice of candidate. Romney is a tough sell to a lot of people, and many Democrats that might have thrown their support to a conservative challenger just can't see their way clear to support the man. Romney did himself some favors with the first debate, and Obama may well have sunk his chances with that debate.....but I wouldn't bet against Obama just yet.....

That's not the RCP number, where does it come from, Huff-n-Puff?

Not betting against Obama at all. Best case scenario for the Democrats right now is preserving the status quo. Hoping that nothing changes is a far cry from the mantra of 2008, don't you think?

Check it again....those are the RCP numbers for electoral college no toss up states.
copy/paste from RCP:

294 Obama/Biden
Romney/Ryan 244

Cross post archer - the reply was intended for SFB, not you. My guess is she got her figures from Huff-n-Puff.

I'm almost afraid to ask...SFB?
