Today's final Princeton numbers...

Obama 293 EV Romney 245 EV. Meta-margin Obama +2.12%

In other words, not much change.

1. I can't believe it's this close. OR, are there that many ignorant voters? nt

4. I have a feeling that Obama's lead is larger than the polls indicate . . .

. . . because there's so much energy in the O campaign.

But yeah, there is an awful lot of willful ignorance.

6. Go to the site and look at the graph on the right...

It shows the meta-margin graph. Notice how it's taken a nice bounce in Obama's direction the past week. Also notice the red and yellow "cones" running to the right of the graph; those represent the likely and possible directions of the race, barring some cataclysmic event, from now to election day, represented on the right edge of the cones. Any amount of the cones that fall below the 270 line represents a Romney win; everything above it indicates an Obama win. Feel better now?

7. I'll let George Carlin explain...

8. Many people are in very bad shape, desperate for change

Homelessness, hunger, and desperation increase by the day.

While a thoughtful person (with a full belly and warm shelter) will realize that Romney is a horrific alternative, at this point, many will try anything new in the hope that it helps.

9. I think you have made a good point....unfortunately. nt

2. How is Romney at 245?

Even Faux is only projecting 206 right now (while also only showing 201 for Obama :roll eyes:

3. Because 293>245 Wins The Election And All The Electoral College Votes Are Allotted In His Projection
