Do you think Obama can snag any surprises?

I have a feeling Obama will snag some surprise states. I think he might repeat his 2008 victory in Indiana. Any states he might snag that are under the radar? Every state counts!

Missouri and Arizona.Romney's superpac has been running antiObama ads here and I saw a postive Obama ad here today In MO.There
had been som eearly reports of lower tunrout In Rural areas.Plus we get good turnout for st Louis,kansas city,and COlumbia It could
be good night here In Missouri.On martin bashier a report says Obama Is being tracked to get 73 percent of Hispanics nationwide.If that
Is right Arizona could be a surprise plus we may pick up a senate seat In Arizona.

Anything more and the polls would have to be off in our direction as much as the Republicans hope they are off in theirs.

i know its a long shot but I would love to see Georgia go to Obama (one can dream, right?) They have the best yard signs that say Obama Y'all. It gave me hope.

I'll just be happy if he wins. I don't really care about the margin. I just can't stand the idea of Mitt Romney and Marie Antoinette in the White House.
