This from the Associated Press earlier today:
AMES, Iowa (AP) — President Barack Obama is poised to eke out a victory in the race for the
270 electoral votes needed to win re-election, having beaten back Republican Mitt Romney’s attempts to convert momentum from the debates into support in all-important Ohio, according to an Associated Press analysis a week before Election Day. While the Democratic incumbent has the upper hand in the electoral vote hunt, Romney has pulled even, or is slightly ahead, in polling in a few pivotal states, including Florida and Virginia. The Republican challenger also appears to have the advantage in North Carolina, the most conservative of the hotly contested nine states that will determine the winner.
While in a tight race with Obama for the popular vote, Romney continues to have fewer state-by-state paths than Obama to reach 270.
This may be one of THOSE elections. If it comes off that way I would think Obama deserves it. What Republicans will do if it happens is another story. Riots anyone?
