Can Romney win without picking off a state like Colorado:
He better hope so:
PPP
Obama 51 (49%)
Romney 45% (46%)

They were AARP members. Just like the AARP members that booed Ryan were disrespectful, but he's a conservative and has the balls to keep speaking until he got cheers later.
You aimed this at cybrsage btw, but if he only has to prove that the race is close as you said, then why does he have to show where Romney is leading for the 270 EV ?

"Coming home to Obama"? "Coming home to Obama"? For fucks sake that's just sad.
Kerry actually came damn close though. If Ohio had swung for him he would have won the election. That's because he really wasn't THAT bad of a candidate, he just wasn't good enough
Romney has no shot. He literally is that bad of a candidate.
That is how I felt when Bush was re-elected. I couldn't believe the country was going to keep him, but I think a lot of people just didn't feel comfortable switching presidents at that point and the opposition just wasn't convincing enough to swing enough people.
Did they say something as banal or trite as "coming home to Bush" ? It's part of that whole creepy cult of Obama I've linked.

I'm saying your bias causes you to see it that way. That's fine. When you attempt to position that way then it's not fine. It's misinformation.
Tonight, CBS aired a 60 Minutes interview with President Obama. But curiously enough, the news magazine show did not air a clip of Obama admitting to interviewer Steve Kroft that some of his campaign ads contain mistakes and that some even "go overboard."
I realize you extremely dislike the guy, but people have always given Presidents more admiration than they probably deserve. To me it just looks like people who think they are supporting something good. Sure, you can try to twist it and call it a cult. Is anyone who honestly supports a president as opposed to thinking that they are the lesser evil a cultist?

Americans Are Sick of Media's Pro-Obama Bias

If that's true, how can you blame the media for the tied race we appear to have at this point? Shouldn't Romney be 5-10 points ahead?
“Americans' distrust in the media hit a new high this year, with 60 percent saying they have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly,” Gallup reported Friday. “Distrust is up from the past few years, when Americans were already more negative about the media than they had been in years prior to 2004.”
That’s a far cry from the 1970s, when Gallup asked the question three times and found trust in the media as high as 72 percent.
It also means that “negativity toward the media is at an all-time high for a presidential election year,” according to Gallup, which is “particularly consequential at a time when Americans need to rely on the media to learn about the platforms and perspectives of the two candidates vying to lead the country for the next four years.”
It just goes to show that Democrats can and will gain the edge by gaming the system and using a bloated electoral college relic to steamroll over the nations popular choice in gaining the presidency. No Republican would ever stoop to such means to gain the presidency.

How can you type that with a straight face when nearly all national polls are giving Obama everything from a slight edge to a wide lead?
Newsflash...that means Obama is currently winning the popular vote. What we have here is a classic example of the self-grandeur exhibited by most Republicans these days - your opinion is not that of the nation as a whole, so stop claiming that it is. Accept the fact that you are currently in the minority...and most likely will still be once all votes are counted.
Signed, George W. Bush during the 2000 vote over Al Gore.
LOL @ the irony on this post.
