Obama will win a second term
Obama 290
Romney 248
I mostly agree with his map except Virginia will go blue and Pennsylvania isn't a lean Obama, it is a moderate obama

(329 posts)WTF is that about? Obama's been in the lead in Ohio all along. That's BS to say it's because of Sandy..total BS.

(4,340 posts)He could have said 270, and I would have been cool with it.

(827 posts)290 assumes Romney takes VA
332 assumes Obama takes FL
Sorry guys, I don't see NC going blue this year. Will be close but I'm not banking on it...

(4,551 posts)'Vietnam Vets for Obama'
Do you have a sense of how many Vietnam Vets are supporting Obama? I know there are others, because I see some of the 'Vets for Obama' profiles on Twitter, but I'm just curious.
Do any of your fellow Vets know the truth about Romney & Vietnam? Do they know he pulled a George W. Bush? Argued in FAVOR of the War and then ran off to France and never served?

(11,856 posts)The Republican Party is full of chickenhawk leaders. Unfortunately, it's party ranks also has lots of our fellow Vets sucked into their bullshit.

(25,415 posts)I would take 271 and be just fine. NV, OH and WI being the swing states that put Obama over 270. 303 would be great with CO and VA along with IA and NH.
