We gotta remember this no matter what
We gotta remember this no matter what the media says. They say it is a close race because that brings in viewers and ad sales. Nobody would watch the long drawn out death of the Romney campaign. So they are all screaming the race is tight and it all hinges on tonight.But the election maps speak of a different story:
HuffPo has Obama with 271 BLUE votes--winning without a single one of their swing states (FL IA CO NC VA NH). Romney? 191
TPMDC has Obama needing only Ohio and Pennsylvania to pull out 270. (TPM still has PA and OH as swing states)
NYT has Obama winning if he pulls in their swing states of NV OH WI (States where Obama is well ahead)
And, finally, the Princeton Election Consortium shows 292 for Obama with only Virginia and New Hampshire as toss ups. He needs no toss-ups to win on their maps.
Amazingly, not a single map shows Obama needing FL to win.
President Obama already owns it. Tonight doesn't matter. But, just for kicks, I hope he kicks Romney's ass.
