Mitt Romney takes lead in projected electoral vote count

[unionmom]

Real Clear Politics now projects that Mitt Romney has more likely electoral votes than President Barack Obama, although Romney is well short of the 270 votes needed to win the election.

Mitt_Romney_campaigningIt is the first time since February that the website says Romney has more likely electoral votes than Obama.

On Friday, Romney has a projected total of 206 votes, compared with 201 for Obama. The change came when Real Clear Politics (RCP) removed North Carolina from its toss-up category and put it among states likely voting for the GOP contender.

The move isn’t entirely unexpected, since the Romney campaign is also reportedly moving resources from North Carolina to other battleground states.

That leaves 10 swing states and 131 electoral votes up for grabs, at least by Real Clear Politics’ count...

I think they still under estimate the true voter sentiment and who will actually turn out to vote. I, like several other studies, am predicting a landslide win for Romney.



But I also predicted Newt would win also. lol

I'm not sure about a landslide, but I predict a solid win for Romney.

Turnout....Turnout.....Turnout. That is what will decide this election. Those fence sitters who moved right and have been polled recently don't add up to a hill of beans if they don't care enough to actually cast a vote.

The wife and I voted Thursday and the poll worker said that over 4000 have voted at the Courthouse alone already. There was a steady flow of people coming in while we were there but were able to walk right in and vote.
