Maybe the numbers were slightly different but I remember how much of an early voting lead Kerry had and how confident we all were based off of that.

As I posted in my "Math" thread earlier, Romney has to collect 51.75% of remaining votes to win Ohio.

In 2000, rove bragged they had 320 electoral votes sewed up. This year, Romney aides say they have 205 Electoral votes sewed up.

they can't even lie as well as Rove did in 2000 and it came down to 534 votes in Florida then

Obama is going to clean their clock

GOTV! That's what wins elections!
