Political: Newly revised poll with more states added.

Well, leave it to Romney to put more states in play going into the final week of campaigning. What state/states will decide the election now?

I've changed my vote from Iowa to Colorado (as that is now on the tipping point). My latest forecasts suggest an 11,000 vote majority in CO for Obama and Obama winning 272 to 266.

Things are changing this week Celtic I think since Hurricane Sandy. Obama's decision to go to New Jersey and tour with Governor Christie may actually help him everywhere. Romney is having a really hard time coming up with a way to make Obama look bad.

At this point, it appears that Romney has already lost Ohio and is trying to find backups. Those being the three states I added, MI, MN, and PA. The polls have tightened in those states, but Obama still leads comfortably. Obama's approval rating over his response to Sandy is in the 80s. This is really bad for Romney.

Update:

Nate Silver over at 538.com now projects Obama to get 303 electoral votes. This would give him both Colorado and Virginia, which were toss-ups a week ago. With Florida tied now, it wouldn't be impossible for Obama to get up to 332 electoral votes by Tuesday.

Vote vote vote like your life depends on it because it does!

Final prediction for the outcome puts Obama somewhere between 290-332.

OH and FL could make this election last longer than it should because of their corrupt governments.

Lets hope the early voting made a difference because the other side always outnumbers us on Election Day. Talk to you all soon.

I never would have guessed that Obama would only lose two states in this election from 2008. He won easily and may have even started a new period of longevity for the Democratic party. The GOP as we know it is basically dead. No seriously, it is. The Republican leaders in the Senate and possibly Congress could be voted out of office in 2014. The demographics in this country have changed so much that my race is no longer the majority. It is even bizarre to me, but it is true. The deciding group in this country is no longer the whites, but the Latinos/Hispanics. They re-elected Obama in a nutshell, and I am thankful they did.

Not to mention the Women, African Americans, LGBT, Middle to Lower class, (did i forget anyone?) who Romney/Ryan seemed to take pleasure in pissing off
