Desi Cartman Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Don't think voters have the luxury to look at the moment when their near dear ones have suffered fatalities/injuries and homes flooded/underwater. On the other hand' date='[b'] I expect major gaffes from Romney between now and the election day. He realized that after the second debate and hasnt said anything since. He realizes that he has changed stances so many times that he cant defend anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsider Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I think hurricane Sandy will have a major say in the outcome of the elections. The poor and badly impacted people who traditionally vote for democrats may not even make it to the voting booths. The major impact of the storm is in NJ and NY, which are going to be Blue regardless a smaller turnout. None of the deciding states except Virginia have been effected by the storm.

Sachin=GOD Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Obama Visits Storm Victims While Romney Campaigns By Associated Press Oct. 31, 2012 (WASHINGTON) President Barack Obama, locked in a fierce re-election bid, is emphasizing his incumbentÃÔ role for a third straight day, skipping battleground states to visit victims of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey, a state heÃÔ confident of winning. The presidentÃÔ actions have forced his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, to walk a careful line and make tough choices. The former Massachusetts governor must show respect for the superstormÃÔ casualties all along the Eastern Seaboard. But Romney can ill afford to waste a minute of campaign time, with the contest virtually deadlocked in several key states and the election six days away. After tamping down his partisan tone Tuesday at an Ohio event that chiefly emphasized victims relief, Romney planned three full-blown campaign events Wednesday in Florida, the largest competitive state. Sandy largely spared Florida, so Romney calculates he can campaign there without appearing callous. ObamaÃÔ revised schedule is a political gamble, too. Rather than use the campaignÃÔ final Wednesday to woo voters in tossup states, he will go before cameras with New JerseyÃÔ Republican governor, Chris Christie. Christie is one of RomneyÃÔ most prominent supporters, and a frequent Obama critic. But Christie praised ObamaÃÔ handling of superstorm Sandy, a political twist the presidentÃÔ visit is sure to underscore. Obama also took full advantage of incumbency Tuesday. He visited the Red Cross national headquarters a short walk from the White House to commiserate with victims and encourage aid workers. ŵhis is a tough time for millions of people, the president said. Å£ut America is tougher. While Obama and Romney moved cautiously Tuesday, their campaigns exchanged sharp words in Ohio and expanded their operations into three Democratic-leaning states, a move that will reshape the contestÃÔ final six days. RomneyÃÔ campaign is running ads in Minnesota and Pennsylvania, and a pro-Romney group is doing the same in Michigan. The three states were considered fairly safe for Obama, but his campaign is taking the threat seriously. It sent former President Bill Clinton to Minnesota on Tuesday and it is buying airtime in all three states. Republican strategists differ on the Romney campaignÃÔ thinking. Some think RomneyÃÔ aides fear losing all-important Ohio, and they hope for a stunning last-minute breakthrough elsewhere to compensate. Others say the GOP camp has so much money and so few chances to buy useful airtime in saturated states that it can spend millions of dollars on a long shot without scrimping in a battleground. Ūf they didnÃÕ have so much money, they wouldnÃÕ be able to do something with so little chance of success, said Democratic strategist Tad Devine. Some Republicans played down the significance of the expand-the-map strategy. ŵhis always happens this time of year in a big campaign, said Republican consultant Mike McKenna of Richmond, Va. ŵhey see a poll or two that suggests a sudden tightening of the race in a place like Minnesota ÅÂnd they get all excited. ŵhey tend to chase shiny objects, McKenna said. Ohio, he said, remains by far the most important state for Romney to win. Another sign that Ohio looms large for the Romney campaign: a guest-filled rally in suburban Cincinnati on Friday to kick off the campaignÃÔ final four days. Set to join the GOP ticket are golf legend Jack Nicklaus, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Meanwhile, Democratic groups bitterly complained about a TV ad the Romney camp is running in the Toledo and Youngstown areas of Ohio. The ad suggests that Jeep will move its Toledo car-making facility to China, a claim Jeep executives deny. Democrats called the ad a brazen lie and a sign of desperation. Even some Republicans worried that Romney has gone too far in a state where voters follow the auto industry closely. ŪtÃÔ the kind of thing that happens late in the campaign, when everybodyÃÔ tired and youÃÓe not quite yourself, McKenna said. Ūt didnÃÕ help. But I donÃÕ think itÃÔ a big thing. At this point, everybody has made up their mind. Vice President Joe Biden planned to campaign Wednesday in Florida. RomneyÃÔ running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, was scheduled to campaign in his home state, Wisconsin. TIME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desi Cartman Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 This is going Obama way. Romney is getting desperate and is now BS-ing even more Latest prediction from the fivethirtyeight blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desi Cartman Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Btw I can predict that Chris Christie will be running for president in the next elections and he actually might win. I understand that he is trying to do his job and I suppose he is doing well but I think he realizes that in order to help his state in the next 2 years to rebuild he needs to be close to president and if he runs for president then he may win the key east coast states by his work and by working closely with democrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring a miracle, Obama will win this comfortably with 300+ electoral votes. Barring North Carolina and Florida, all other swing states are leaning democratic. And Romney will have to win both of these and the 3-4 other (democratic) swing states to reach 270. Its a huge stretch to say that he will be able to do this. Sandy has only improved Obama's image while Romney's comments about FEMA will be difficult to answer for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsider Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Yes but this election it's a big possibility. Current polls show the same situation so I don't think you will get good odds. You can triple your money if you think mitt might win Haven't been able to find a place where this bet is offered, but 538 has the scenario at 6-8% in their simulations.
