Update: In short, if the toss-up states go to Romney, Ohio becomes the single most important state on Carl's map and the coming election. Ohio has 18 electoral votes and Obama is "up" by 14, again, according to Carl Rove.

Carl Rove sees Obama winning the 2012 election, as things stand today. Remember, the electoral college elects our presidents, not the popular vote. That being the case, Obama stands to win 284 electoral votes when only 270 are needs -- according to Carl. This means that states colored "blue" or "light blue" and totaling, at least, 15 electoral votes must move into the Romney column or this nation is permanently screwed. Go to Carl's site for his rationalization as to his conclusions.

I am preparing a similar presentation, for what its worth, but my outcome is different. I had hoped to have this assignment completed two weeks ago, but time has not afforded me the opportunity to complete my appraisal. It is in the works, however.

Keep in mind that Obama won 365 electoral votes in 2008. For Obama to be this far "down" after two years of full time campaigning against no one in particular, is very good news for the Patriot Nation.

Update: we have this from Rasmussen reports:

Obama Still Leads Romney, Santorum in Core Four States (FL, NC, OH, VA) President Obama remains slightly ahead of the Republican front-runners in combined polling of the key swing states Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. New Rasmussen Reports telephone surveying finds that Obama picks up 47% of the vote to Romney’s 44%. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided. That's little changed from a week ago when Obama led Romney 47% to 42%. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
