We need to give more attention and support to these candidates!
See HOUSE races:

Also SENATE has very close race with toss ups favoring GOP.
See:

So we need to focus on winning the Senate.

(11,464 posts)Obama wins by a landslide, and anyone he strongly endorses will win.
those that run and hide will lose.
Big money will help the repubs this year in the house more than any other.
I predict hold the senate, Obama wins, and the house will be a nailbiter, and I predict alot of the newby repubs who won in 2010 will lose this time, as they are the incumbents, not the democrats. so it is feasable with a major Obama landslide that they will reclaim the house.
And with people fleeing from the tea party, the Senate in a one on one race, should easily be held by the Dems.
(Crist's backing of Nelson is major big time in Florida, and should insure mainstream repub voters will vote for Nelson not the extremist running against him.)
Only way there is trouble is if people sit on their hands and stay home, which happened in 2010.
Get out and vote!

in the electoral college.
Obama will win way over 300 but 270 is all that matters.
I don't really care about popular vote as its meaningless.
a one vote victory in California is much better than getting 0% of the vote in any of the red states.
like they say, come election day and 9pm and 10pm roll by, the stations may be indicating Mitt may seem to be in good shape, remember that Obama is guaranteed 78 more electoral votes come 11pm and California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii.
let alone Ohio and PA and probably Florida will go blue again
Romney has as much chance as that idiot Goldwater did getting creamed by the legendary all time great LBJ.
They gotta keep the race close so they bring in ratings and advertising, but this race is over.
imho

why campaign?
why vote?
It's in the bag. It's a runaway. "Obama will win way over 300", "100% chance of winning", "this race is over"
This is going to be a close election. There is a ton of money on the other side. There are many who do not like Obama and would vote for anyone running against him.
