Same goes for Romney. Despite all the swings over the conventions and debates, things have reverted to baseline.

(knocking wooden, metal and screen doors while hanging an Obama placard on the knob) I NEVER EVER want to see his stank hide running for any office ever again. I want him to slink his fake tanned ass into the great political black hole abyss of obscurity.

NEVER. EVER.

Period.

If a state has Romney leading now, it had Romney leading in June when the forecast was launched.

Based upon the map forecast, it's O - 314, R - 224. R takes Florida and North Carolina, O takes all the rest of the swing states.
