1. Yes, and didn't Al Gore win the popular vote and lose the electoral?

[WI_DEM]

2. Yes, but Obama's swing state strategy seems to be holding up

Now the media is saying that Romney might win popular but lose electoral. I doubt that will be the case.

10. If Obama wins over 290 EVs, which I think he will, he will also win PV.

There is no doubt in my mind about that.

12. Like I told someone last nite

Romney couldn't lose the electoral college and have the majority vote BECAUSE there are fewer voters in the states that Romney does win.

Wyoming and North Dakota population is smaller than the average congressional district. And they get 1 vote because of having a congressional district and 2 for their senators like each state does.

Wyoming's population for the 2010 census was 563,626

California's population for the 2010 census was 37,691,912

The senate portion of Wyoming's electoral votes is worth 134 times more than for California.

4. That is how they made it appear!

But some of us saw the magic happen on our screens that will forever make us believe that it wasn't so!

5. I saw that happen in 2004 with Kerry's vote in Ohio quickly changing.

And this one from DU archives:

The Ohio web site was showing Kerry ahead before midnight. Then the server went down for 90 minutes, and when it came back up, Bush had a commanding lead.

8. That was 2004 and was to which I referring.

11. Gore lost the electoral because of FL.

And it was basically evenly split, but in the end they manged to count more votes for Bush.

3. Wow, I had forgotten.. And Gore still won.

I'm not predicting a landslide, but I can't shake the feeling that it will be.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

6. GOTV so the difference is too much to steal

I'd be happy with a landslide as well!

[yellowcanine]

9. And remember all the talk was that Gore might win EV and lose Pop Vote.

When in reality he won both.

14. WOW... didn't know that - good ol' gallup - so accurate! not! LOL
