Related: About this forumCan Obama get to 349 EV's Monday night?
Basically that would mean sweeping all the EV's remaining in play.
I think there is a chance to do it, because it looks like Romney's Benghazi desperation attack is floundering, but he will try to push it anyway, and Obama can simply slam him again, show that he is unqualified. Also, I would not be surprised to see Obama let out a bit more info concerning the Bin Laden killing, consistent with the upcoming film by Bowden.. And that info would reveal his strength as Commander in Chief.

(11,229 posts)Obama's momentum, boosted by a good debate Monday and good economic news at the end of the month could get him to 349.

(7,724 posts)not to mention dishonest in the last debate. I don't buy into the 1st debate cementing his CIC bar being met . . . he looked really, really bad at the town hall debate, he was caught in a lie and looking like he was politicizing a terrible incident for his gain. He could go lower, and probably will, if he continues to do it, and many of those conservative Democrats, or even moderate Republicans, Indies, could decide . . . nah. Either vote for Obama or stay home. I think it's entirely possible for him to sweep the swing states, and then some.

(305 posts)who cares how large the margin is because even getting to 270 is going to be a nailbiter

(5,444 posts)so landslide either way is possible. But I would encourage everyone to work hard to convince their acquaintances to help elect Obama and Democrats.

(23 posts)Obama is going to win with 303 EVs.
And good riddance to Willard & Co - may they never cross our political landscape again.
