Chris CiLizard in 'the Fix' now rates Ohio as a tossup.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2012/11/01/ohio-moves-back-into-the-toss-up-category-on-fix-electoral-map/

I don't believe any of them. There are too many variables especially after Sandy. In addition, a lot of people depend on the race being close in order to get people to notice them.
He talks about checking a slew of polls and talking to operatives from both parties before reahing this decision. He may be right, but I don't believe he has a solid basis for it.

The witches from Macbeth could stir up more precise predictions.

I can't see any way that's a "toss-up."

went to Loomis prep school. That is just like my public high school in Yonkers. Gee, I wonder who he is for? He wants Romney to win so bad.
