Most polls have Obama with a slim lead in Wisconsin and Ohio and have Romney with a only a slight edge in Florida. Unless nearly all the polls are wrong, Romney is screwed.
Romney will win Florida. He won't win Pennsylvania. Romney must win either Wisconsin or Ohio. He wins either one of those, he is the next president.

A few weeks before Nov 2008, Rasmussen guaranteed a McLiar/pitbull landslide.
How the could Gary Johnson screw Obama in any state at all? He's not gonna steal nearly as many Obama votes as he will Romney voters who are pissed off about how Ron Paul was disenfranchised at the RNC.
Dude, could pot smokers decide the election – for Mitt Romney?
A marijuana legalization measure on the Colorado ballot – promoted by Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson – could be very important in this close presidential race.
The Jewish vote, women, Hispanics, even the Scandinavian vote have all been pegged by prognosticators as key swing cons uencies in Tuesday’s electoral showdown between President Obama and Mitt Romney.
But what if it’s really pot smokers who decide the next US president, specifically psychedelia enthusiasts in the battleground state of Colorado (9 electoral votes) where pot legalization and dark horse candidate Gary Johnson are both on the ballot?
Far out, right? Maybe not.
Polls suggest that Colorado’s Amendment 64, which would legalize and regulate marijuana much like alcohol, may pass on Tuesday, so legalization will be foremost on the minds of voters in a state now in a statistical deadlock between Obama and Romney. (Washington and Oregon also have pot legalization referendums on the ballot, but Romney stands little chance in those liberal northwestern enclaves.)

Nov. 2: For Romney to Win, State Polls Must Be Statistically Biased
Friday’s polling should make it easy to discern why Mr. Obama has the Electoral College advantage.
There were 22 polls of swing states published Friday.
Of these, Mr. Obama led in 19 polls, and two showed a tie.
Mitt Romney led in just one of the surveys, a Mason-Dixon poll of Florida.

Typical take of Libertarian fantasist.
The Repug radicals, who are really paid tools of the Kock Bros, the UCA, 1%, the "Christian" Taliban OWN the Repug party. It's the Repug radicals who are kicking out the Repug moderates.
Tbh my longterm goal for party structure would be 4 party system. The Democratic party, Republican party, and these two parties:
1) A party dedicated mainly to the religious right and Jews who believe in the Islamic Boogeyman. Their main platform involves abortion, gay marriage, pandering to Israel, taking away civil liberties, and a Christian-Jewish theocracy. By getting their own political party and candidate on the ballot, the other political parties feel no need to pander to them and can focus on real issues and don't feel the need to take irrational views. I'd like both Obama and Romney a lot more if they didn't pander to these people.
2) A party dedicated to people who feel en led to stuff like Obamaphones, high paying labor jobs that don't require any specialized skill, benefits for having more kids than they can afford, free scooters to cater to obesity, teachers who think they deserve higher salaries but don't deserve to have their performance evaluated, etc. This party would have a lot of minorities, a lot of fat people, people on welfare, and people who don't value education at all. Like the other party described above, they would get their candidate on a ballot who they'd all vote for, so the Democrats and Republicans wouldn't pander to them and would be able to care more about people who actually matter.
Both the Democrats and the Republicans would be a much more efficient group if it didn't feel the need to pander to these two groups mentioned above. I'd actually be in favor of 1 combined political party for these people as there is a lot of overlap between these groups. I'd also do away with the electoral college so these people would matter less. The electoral college makes these people matter a lot more than they should because you need them for states like Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, etc. to matter at all. The fact Republicans need to win Southern States to have a chance cripples it as a party. The fact Democrats need the Jew vote and the vote of people who feel en led to manufacturing jobs that give ridiculous benefits for the low-skill jobs they are cripples it as a party.

This is what I don't get, why doesn't the republican party call those state's bluff. Since his nomination Mitt Romney has gone out of his way to say and do stupid to get votes he already had, and polarize the moderates, the votes he doesn't.
Because while he had those states in his pocket regardless he still needs the bible thumpers in certain swing states (Florida, Ohio, Virginia, etc.) to win. They're never gonna vote for Obama, but if the alternative is a Mormon former governor of Massachusetts who supports gay marriage, they wouldn't show up at all. Romney's only chance in Florida is if the backwater hicks in the Northern part of the state come out to vote for him while he also steals enough of the Miami Beach Jew vote by pandering to Netanyahu. He has a very slim chance in Pennsylvania as it is, but he wouldn't have any chance at all if central Pennsylvania didn't cast enough votes.
Basically, enough people in this country know trickle down economics and deregulation is in re ed and doesn't work, so the only way the Republicans can keep that platform and have a chance is if they get enough votes based off religion. Furthermore, bible thumpers are also similar to black people, if their political party doesn't give them enough of a selfish, narcissistic reason to vote, they don't care enough about the country to vote at all.
If I'm being honest, I would want Gary Johnson to screw Romney out of the presidency mainly because of how the GOP shat on Ron Paul during the primaries and at the convention. They treated Ron Paul like a piece of and deserve to lose the election in my opinion.
