If the numbers hold for Ohio and Virginia, Romney is finished!

1. He must be kicking ass if the so-called "slim lead" has him up

in Virginia ...

[BainsBane]

3. Yep

Slim lead is Washington Post language, not mine.

[Historic NY]

7. Slim lead 4 points...

[Cracklin Charlie]

8. Awesome news!

I was wondering why they haven't been pontificating about Virginia so much.

[Cha]

2. KNR!

4. Obama outperformed the polls in 2008

at that time I wondered if voters weren't telling pollsters the truth, but now I realize it's because the polls are under estimating Obama's voters, many of whom don't make it through likely voter screenings.

5. I hope so.

The rightwing could use a good ass-kicking.

[CaliGal]

9. Yup!

I hope we DO kick their ass! The alternative is just unacceptable.

[ffr]

13. I like the way you think!

6. K&R

[BainsBane]

10. And with record numbers of early voting in FL

things are looking good. I sometimes get bummed out by the national polls, even though I know we don't have national elections. So all his is great news, as long as we keep up GOTV.

[ffr]

14. As long as we keep up the GOTV drive

It's working with devastating effect yet again.

And nothing feels better than voting in all Democrats, shutting up the M$M and the RWNJ.

[BainsBane]

15. Absolutely. GOTV is key

We can't let up at all. These polls should make no one complacent.

11. I got a call from the Tim Kaine campaign

yesterday and they also asked about who I was voting for for president. We actually had a nice talk.

[BlueStreak]

12. And there won't be many good opportunities to campaign in Virginia.

Romney might be able to do something Thursday or Friday, but that's probably too late. And by then it will be clear that he's lost Ohio.

And he'll have to be defending in Florida and North Carolina.

Please, I'm thinking people probably aren't paying a lot of attention to political ads in Virginia over the next few days, so Romney can't make up for lost campaign events by running more ads.

Meanwhile the President is reminding people how a President deals with something like this, as opposed to how Bush dealt with Katrina.

16. Now Romney is pretending he can pick up WI

Nate has Obama with an 82% chance there. If he can't get Ohio, I see no way he picks up Wisconsin.

[Drunken Irishman]

17. It's the same strategy McCain had with PA four years ago.

[polichick]

18. I voted yesterday in Virginia's "in-person absentee" program...

...and there was a long line of people. Hard to tell just from looking but my guess is that most were Obama voters - also lots of Obama volunteers outside.

[BainsBane]

20. Good news

Especially with the storm coming

[polichick]

21. Yes, I just saw where msnbc has Virginia in the blue.

[helpisontheway]

22. REALLY? Wonder what Joe S. will say about that? He says Romney will win all the southern states. nt

[polichick]

24. He'll be whining and complaining all week!

[helpisontheway]

26. Either that or will simply ignore VA polls

If they can't find one that shows Romney winning.

[BainsBane]

23. Do they still have Ohio as a tossup?

If he loses both states, game over for Romney.

[polichick]

25. Ohio was in the blue too I think - definitely should be.

[cheezmaka]

19. KNR!
