++Ken in Tex2, a blogger at Dailykos,rained on all our parades today. He writes that unless President Obama starts a ground war in Iran, China, North Korea or Syria, gas rises to $7 per gallon or is found strangling white children who are in wheelchairs, the election is his. He chides progressives for thinking Obama might lose New Mexico, Wisconsin, Nevada, Pennsylvania or Minnesota. He claims that Obama is certain of winning 263 electoral votes right now and needs only one of the following states:
1. Ohio
2. Colorado
3. Virginia
4. Florida
5. North Carolina
6. Missouri
7. Indiana
8. Arizona
On the other hand, Willard Romney needs to win all eight and not lose one if he has a chance. The odds of Obama getting one are 99.61. And Romney of running the streak is .039%.
That takes a lot of the drama out of it.
Meanwhile PPP has a new poll on Michigan, which shows that President Obama has a 54 to 38 lead over Romney. I guess you really can't go home again.
Also, Rasmussen has Romney's lead in Indiana only 6.
So before you get wrapped up in the talking heads and the Beltway pundits remember Ken in Tex2 before you panic.
