    Didn't Romney have a 3 pt lead over Obama in the latest poll? I think he did.

    BTW, polls are worthless because of the electoral college. The fact of the matter is, Obama only needs to lose 2 swing states that he won in 2008 to lose. It all comes down to the electoral college. Obama actually lost about 25 pts due to redistricting in 2010 if he wins the same states he did in 2008.

  4. I understand it quite well.Obama won by 192 electoral votes in 2008 so he would need to lose more then 2 swing states to lose as you stated

    I haven't looked into the redistricting numbers but even if correct 25 pts and 2 swing states still isn't enough
