Anyone else got their "Sore Loserman" buttons ready to go if/when there's an Electoral/Popular vote
split?
I think President Obama, upon winning re-election, should show Bush's commitment to bipartisanship after he lost the popular vote.

4. I wonder if their heads will literally explode.
|
I think it will be misplaced--if Obama were running a national vote campaign, he'd have OFA offices trying to register voters in Brooklyn and Chicago.
But, they're not the rational types. |

5. 270 is all I care about. But don't believe the hype
|
As we have every single group including normal white males and the only one group we don't have is angry racist white males there is no way we are going to lose the popular vote, but it don't matter if we do.
270 and we win. everything else is gravy, and meatloaf tastes fine without any. |

7. I bet its closer to 350 electoral votes

This is going to be a landslide victory. I can see the mandate we will have to make the changes Obama has been fighting for since 2008.

17. I'm counting wins in OH, WI, and NV...
|
...which will put us at 271. Then, if we also win IA, would put us at 277, or NH would put us at 275. I'm not optimistic enough to believe we're going to sweep all five of these states (OH, WI, NV, IA, and NH) which would put us at 281.

11. I will be hugely relieved when he wins a second term.

But, the state polls look much, much, much better than the national ones do.
Bush was doing much better in national polls than Obama's doing now. |
