How close is this election? Of the 1475 likely voters we polled, Obama led by seven voters. When rounded to even numbers, he leads 48-47.

I think we're past wondering if Obama can maintain his "firewall".
He's trending to drop at least half of it already.
Boys, the president should start packing his things.
You all ran a good race, talked the good talk and fought a good fight.
But it's about to end.
Here's a clue why:
While Romney was drawing 30,000 supporters in Ohio the other night, the prez could only get about 3K.
Worse, at a Cleve. stop, with Stevie Wonder granting a free concert, Obama only drew 200 people.
Two hundred people.
Think about that for a moment, members and moderators.

18,000 at a Romney rally apparently equals 30,000 in GOP math.

The whole point of the firewall concept is that even if you lose half of it, you still win.

Obama wasn't appearing there. It was just a get-out-the-vote for Obama rally that was extremly poorly advertised. Wonder did perform.

Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated sometime next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

And we might let a couple of your teams in the CFL .

Just give the CFL Tebow, with no strings attatched.

Oh, so the President gets poor turnout in a battleground state.
And automatically it is poorly advertised?
Funny how that works...

President wasn't there, hack. At least the campaign didn't lie like the Romney campaign did about the 30,000 figure that even the Secret Service crapped on.

The concept of a firewall is taking the states and metaphorically placing them on a continuum from most friendly from one candidate to the other. Obama's "electoral firewall" is a series of states that are very difficult for Romney to win because they are slightly more friendly to Obama than Romney, yet Romney's only realistic paths to victory are on the other side of those states, meaning he has to win all of them and then some to win the election.

Spin it however you wish, you dipshit coward.
I mean it's a toss-up in Minnesota.
Minnesota, by God!
The land o' 1,000 lakes, Garrison Keillor and a senator who thinks he's funny.
Paul Wellstone's Minnesota.
It's not even a sure thing in that state.
