Kilmer17s non confrontational election prediction-

[Bang]

I pretty much agree with the OP almost to the letter.
Good to have you back

[Duckus]

Romney wins popular vote by .5%

Obama wins 294 - 244 in EC.

Obama: NH, IA, PA, VA, NV

Romney: CO, NC, FL

Closest state is CO which is decided with less than 1%.

[USS Redskins]

I dont know who will win - I do hope that it ends like this:

Romney 269
Obama 269

House votes in Romney

Senate votes in Biden

That would be so freaking cool in a historical type thing....

[Kilmer17]

I predict GOPers will discover a newfound hatred for the electoral college after Romney wins the popular vote and loses the election handily.

This is exactly the type of parstisan bull**** I hoped would stay out of this thread.

Not back into the muck. Just fascinated with the machine.

You got it, K17. And I think (surprising myself a little given how I felt up until this last week) that hersh may be closer to the reality. I know the networks are playing to their investment, too. And I really agree with the handsome genius's speculation, being one myself.

As the OP, and now an antisocial moderator, has said, this post is being used an example of what to keep out of this tread.

Here's a quandry.

The NEW House and Senate would vote int eh event of a tie. Which will easily mean a Romney victory in the House (projected to be 29-21). But if the Senate ends in a tie, things become murkier. There is no precedent to say how that tie is broken after the 12th amendment passed. It's assumed that the CURRENT VP would break the tie, but it's not expressly stated that way. I'd expect legal challenges like none we have ever seen if that were to happen.

Until you take back your "this place is no different than the Democratic Underground" I'm keeping you firmly registered as "in the muck" , and am not even mentioning any details of the part about "the moderators."

I've always been antisocial. But when do I get my cool Mod pullover?

[The Evil Genius]

I've said (a few weeks ago) that O will get 290+ in EC votes.

I'm still stubbornly sticking with it.

I don't' want to derail your thread further with my kibitzing, but I often like to imagine many well-know members as mods and envision the tumult and chaos that likely would follow.

Then I'd be loved and appreciated, even as the turrible turrible human bean I am (every staff needs one).

[Thiebear]

I was wrong by 200 Points and never get big brother right so sure:

My sheeple pick: +9 dem over sample shocks
Electorate when +5 repub show up causes 14pnt swing.
Romney wins pa, co, oh, fl, va, nc, mi

My realclearpolitics pick: Obama 286

You should start a "Mod for a week" program just for ****s and giggles.

romney wins how any why doesnt matter. i say he wins va and ohio. and msnbc anchors are all seen jumping from large buildings

[Unforgiven]

To those among us who foresee Romney winning with 300+ EC votes....which tossup states do you see him winning to get to that number?

It just seems like he would have to win quite a few states in which he's currently trailing. I realize these polls are just small samples and could be wrong, just wanted to see what kind of predictions people had on that.
