I still think Romney will win
* over 200 electoral votes.

the poorer you are, the more state and local taxes bite into your income. As you get richer, those taxes recede, and you’re mainly getting hit be federal taxes. So that’s another lesson: When you omit state and local taxes from your analysis, you’re omitting the taxes that hit lower-income taxpayers hardest.
They like Obama because he seems more accessible, seems kind and confident. Romney strikes them as someone who just wants the title of president.
They felt that Romney does not speak in a way that they can understand, that he doesn't talk like "regular" people. This was a strongly reoccuring theme--that Obama seemed to be someone who understood the lives of normal people whereas Mitt seemed more removed from their experiences.
Their main criticism of Obama was that he was "too nice."
No students mentioned their gratitude for Obama's many government handouts and their excitement about they and their families getting to live on Obama Bucks for another four years if he is reelected.
I've been in (socialist) Europe for the last couple of weeks and don't get back for a few more days but I have to say that it's a real delight to see that Mitt has lost the election while I was away.
I also find the shock/outrage at what he said to be a bit puzzling given that's exactly what the Republican views have been for years now. Mitt just said out loud what the rest of them are thinking.
This election is clearly now a referendum not on the candidates but on the intelligence of the electorate.
if that is the case, looking back at 2000* and 2004, Romney has a good shot at winning.
* it is amazing to me that people say W won in 2000, not only did he lose the national popular vote, he also got less votes from people in Florida that went to the polls to vote. But the intelligence of the electorate allowed it to be close enough for the Court to give it to W.
Back in 2000, I don't think it was as clear cut as it is now. .

I find this statement baffling, you must have been a casual observer, I think it would be far more reasonable to find 2012 Romney tolerable to Bush 2000
the man was a complete idiot, he was asked to name a philosopher, he could have said, I don't recall the names and schools of philosophy from my college days, but I do believe in the philosophy of self determination our founding fathers believed in. Instead he said. Jesus Christ.
He ran on “I Will Restore Honor and Dignity to the White House”. A no blow job pledge was enough for 49% of an ignorant public.
Romney/Ryan is pleading "12 million new jobs" * in a time when people are worried about jobs. Why would 50.1 % not want to vote for that?

2000 = no (blow) jobs
2012 = 12,000,000 jobs
GOP believes it wins with focus on jobs
really ?? Bush was running against blow jobs? or Bill Clinton and his behavior?
I thought he was running aginst Gore/Liberman, and I don't recall Gore/Liberman as being for that kind of behavior.

You were the one who brought up the blow jobs
I just wanted to say-never thought I'd see that posted here. Historic moment in FYM that needed to be highlighted.
Seems all the GOP has left is voter suppression.
