Do you have a sense of the momentum in your state?

I live in Massachusetts. Obama will win this state. I sense things are starting to go better for Warren because I'm seeing more signs and bumperstickers, and her campaign has freshness that Scott Brown's lacks. (People are getting sick and tired of his frickin' pickup truck.) Still, Brown is not a bad candidate for the Republicans, and many people don't want to vote against him. The biggest reason he might lose to Warren is that we know that he has to lose for Democrats to keep control of the Senate.

There is not a lot of momentum in Massachusetts, but what momentum there is favors Obama and Warren.

What about your state?

1. I live in a red county in a blue state.

And I have seen more signs and stickers for Obama than Romney.

In fact I have seen NO Romney stickers/signs.

Obama's going to win this state anyway, but I think that most Republicans here are sitting it out. There's no love for Money boo boo here.

3. I live in a battleground district in FL. Jacksonville, FL.

The repugs do business with just will not engage in a conversation about rmoney. And believe me I try.

I think Florida will be close but in the end, Obama wins. And wins the WH.

6. After the Ryan selection I felt there was a chance we could go red this year...

but after a month of the Romney/Ryan follies I'm confident we will go blue and four recent polls back that up. Plus, I think my congress woman, Tammy Baldwin, will be our next U.S. Senator.

8. No momentum in Williamsburg, VA

In fact, it is hard to believe that there will be an election soon. Last time there were yard signs and car stickers everywhere. There was a sense of excitement in the air. It is not like that this time around. Hoping we can keep it close enough down here so that Northern VA can put us over the top. I want VA to be blue again...

12. We are a deep blue state here in MD.

The only blemish now is Andy Harris over in a district on the Eastern Shore.

13. Here in Tennessee, I am not seeing the Republican yard signs or bumper stickers in anything like the

numbers at this time 4 years ago. I can ony conclude that they are pretty demoralized and hope they stay home on November 6!

14. Enthusiasm is pretty flat in Florida, I feel

In 2008, the enthusiasm was huge and lots and lots of bumper stickers and campaign signs. Now in 2012, the mood is far more subdued for both sides.

A lot of people are not all that happy with either party.

17. CO Dem

There are generally far fewer yard signs and bumper stickers than there were in 2008, but I can tell you that the Dems here on on the ground and working hard. We did 1,000 door knocks in 1 weekend here in our smallish town of 10,000 people. We have an OFA office right here in town, whilst the nearest Romney office is in the next town over and 25 mins away. Other than a showing in a town parade last weekend, I haven't seen the Repubs anywhere.
