Thank you for posting this. We definitely needed another thread for all our Romneytard friends to shake hands with one another furiously.

Thank you for posting this. We definitely needed another thread for all our Romneytard friends to masturbate furiously.

Maybe it'll have a quarantining effect.

I'll be happy when MLS shows a tie or RR lead. Not before.

Never going to happen and CNN is a hackish organization for changing its rating on the basis of 1 hack/troll poll.

I would go more with Toss Up/Tilt D for Wisconsin, but Romney has a very good chance of winning Wisconsin this year. If he wins, he'll probably win Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio. The Badger State is definitely in play.

If Wisconsin is a "true tossup", why aren't Missouri and North Carolina? Stupid.

That's my point, too. Why people consider WI, OH or even CO and NV toss-ups but not MO, NC?

Both Missouri and North Carolina are toss-ups that, as of now, tilt to the right.  Wisconsin and Colorado are toss-up/tilt D.  Iowa and Ohio are toss-up/tilt R.  Nevada, IMO, is not a toss-up and is lean D.

I think the economic state of Ohio puts it slightly tilt to the right.  I seriously considered putting both Ohio and Iowa pure toss-up without a lean either way.

Obama isn't winning states he barely lost/won in 2008. The level of enthusiasm for Obama was enormous in 2008, and he had the 2008 financial crisis helping him. He has little to no enthusiasm this time around, and the only financial crisis on the horizon may or may not come before the election, but either way it will not help Obama's cause.

It isn't surprising, after all, Bush only lost here very narrowly.

Even liberal PPP is claiming that this race is 'very competitive'. Time to start cooking the books!

Is that anything like fixing elections, which Cook County Dems are so renowned for?

And Romney isn't going to win Wisconsin, so what's your point? The fact is that the polls in all of those states are very close now, not just in Wisconsin.
