Romney Takes Lead In Electoral College Estimates For 1st Time


120831044848-romney-speech-point-2-gi-story-topFormer Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney took the lead in a RealClearPolitics electoral map on Thursday. Barack Obama had held a 10 vote advantage over Romney up until then. According to the map, Romney leads Obama 206-201 with several 131 votes are counted as “toss-up.”

Several battleground states have moved towards Romney, including North Carolina, in which the RCP polls indicate he has a six point advantage.

In Florida, Romney is up by 2.5 points. Virginia is also a close race.

The Romney campaign has gained momentum since the first debate. this has caused a shift in the polling data and now the Obama campaign is circling the wagons around Ohio, New Hampsire, Nevada and Iowa. Theoretically, if he were able to stay where he is in terms of electoral votes and keep these four states, he would win re-election, but as we have seen, things can change quickly depending on what mistakes or gaffes a candidate makes.

This is good news for the Romney campaign and not so good news for Team Obama.

    Wouldn’t that be a kick in the butt, for the Electoral College to change their vote and give the Presidency to Romney. I can hear the wailing now, not only here but in the Middle East as well.

    It’s the answer to my prayers. Obama has scared me spitless from the beginning and it went from bad to horrid. It can only get better with Romney. However, with our slanted press he will always have a tough road. He will need our contintued support and for us to look beyond the media for truths.

    0bama can only appeal to his 47% base and the airheads that watch lib TV talk shows and lib ‘comics’ late nite TV. In spite of the media being his sock puppet, people in the real world can see 0bama for what he is, a racial socialist bent on ‘restitution’ to minorities thru a massive Marxist redesign of the USA.

    4 more years of this President will break our economical back and bring us to a cliff of inner turmoil and devastation that will change America forever. Americans need to stand up “right now” and take back our great country. This may our last best chance to do something significant for our country. Every God fearing American needs to, in two weeks stand up and say no to the scourge that has run over its citizenry. In short, we need to send President Obama and Joe Biden packin’. And we also need to tell Congress with our voting power that we are “not” going to tolerate their socialist agenda one moment longer.
