/dev/null Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 If Romney wins the popular vote but Obama wins the Electoral College, it will be the culmination of Obama's strategy of "Leading From Behind" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it would still come down to Ohio anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying it will be over really early if this is true. Obama won't need much more if the The Old Dominion goes blue again. Won't need Florida, Ohio or Colorado. I guess we will be sending the governor there a great big thank you for delivering the womens vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will be sending the governor there a great big thank you for delivering the womens vote No bias in that, eh? Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney by 3 points in the state of Virginia, 49 percent to 46 percent, according to polling conducted for the pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA Action. Democratic pollster Geoff Garin announced the results on Twitter Sunday. The poll was conducted Oct. 25-27, testing 807 respondents with live interviews, Garin said, with a 1-point edge for Democrats in the sample. In an email, Garin said that Obama's support among women (he leads 53 percent to 42 percent) and college-educated white voters of both genders puts Obama "right at the mark he needs to be hitting with whites overall to win the state." The results are similar to the Washington Post poll Maggie posted yesterday. These are likely some of the last Virginia numbers we get for a while, given the effect Hurricane Sandy will have on the state over the next week.

Do whatever you like Tom. Like I said, just saying it's out there. No need to get upset about a poll showing Romney losing in a traditionally Southern Conservative state. NC is looking a little tighter as well. We might know the presumed winner of the election by 10 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadCap Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 There is NO way Obama wins VA. No way. I have NO evidence, it's just what I have seen and heard living here. If I am wrong about this, I will voluntarily withdraw from PPP.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Norfolk and Portsmouth it looks like a strong Obama victory. But then again parts of P-Town also look like Detroit or Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Can't see Obama losing NoVA, either. Neither can I. But, this "undertow" theory seems to be gaining some ground. Undertow, as in: Obama wins NoVA, but by margins that are blown away by the rest of the state, because his base doesn't show up in anywhere near the #s they were expected to. Basically "reverse John McCain", which is how Obama won VA. This same thing is already being documented in Democratic strongholds in Ohio in the early voting #s. Even crazy ass Nevada is starting to look this way. Caveat: there is of course the possibility that the reason all these D voters aren't showing up as Ds, and why R turnout has increased: these Ds actually all voted as Rs, for Santorum, in the primary. No, really, there really are people running with that "explanation". Yes, 220+k Ds in Ohio all went "activist" and cared enough to go vote for Santorum. Reality: At best, 10k did. What about the other 210k? I'd love to unleash you on some of the D boards I am lurking on, and see what your "you're an idiot"/minute rate would be.

However, I think that the rest of the state will make up the difference for Romms. And love the Tim Curry avatar BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The new CBS/NYT/Q-poll has its share of sampling problems, but they did find something very interesting about enthusiasm in three key states. Not only does Republican enthusiasm outstrip Democratic enthusiasm in all three states, it’s growing faster, too: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
