2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI don't understand why the MSM IS saying that Romney is ahead
I am surprised that Romney was not attacking last night in the debate. Romney is still behind.
Obama has 237 EVs in the bag.
Swing states:
WI - Obama has lead in every state poll there since mid-August. 10 evs.
NV - Obama has lead or tied every state poll there. 6 evs.
OH - Most polls have shown Obama ahead or tied. Gravis Marketing, if they are really a pollster, showed Romney +1 earlier this month. ARG also showed Romney +1 earlier this month. A vast majority of polls show Obama up. 18 evs.
Obama is ahead in 271 evs. Game over as long as we GOTV. Even if Romney takes one of the above, there are the coin toss states that Obama can still win - CO, VA, IA, NH, & FL.

(6,262 posts)The "closer" the race, the higher the ratings. The closer it is, the more $ spent by campaigns for advertising. The closer it seems to be, the more money for them.
I was so silly to go to bed last night thinking my Pres. had vanquished the lying droid. What was I thinking?
Media all over the meme "Romney won with women by lying all night long."

(102 posts)That CNN kept saying the momentum was on Romney's side last night. They must have said it half a dozen times.
