Is Obama Headed for an Electoral College Blowout?

Is Obama Headed for an Electoral College Blowout?


"Some political scientists and Democratic strategists believe it's now possible that President Obama could replicate his break-out Electoral College map from 2008, with the exception of Indiana, even if the popular vote is closer than four years ago," Politico reports.

Said Democratic strategist Tad Devine: "He's in a position to get close to 350 electoral votes, without a doubt. The president and his campaign successfully identified states where they could beat Romney, set out to define Romney in those places and did so well through the course of the spring and summer."

Let's all realize that we all need to vote in order to win

BUT

If we have a chance to win BIG then let's take the opportunity
and try to blow the doors off and make it the largest win
in the history of politics!

I wonder when and who - I guess I could look it up...

The length of his coattails is more important.
gaining control of the HoR is very important.
