That would be a landslide by anyone's definition. I suspect the coat tails would be wide sweeping if those numbers happen. The House could easily go dem with a bigger majority in the Senate.
If that happens I guess we will REALLY find out what Obama wants to do with some political capital.
Liberals don’t want to jinx it. It terrifies the right. And the press would prefer a nail-biter. But the fact is that finding Romney’s path to victory is getting harder every day.
There’s a secret lurking behind everything you’re reading about the upcoming election, a secret that all political insiders know—or should—but few are talking about, most likely because it takes the drama out of the whole business. The secret is the electoral college, and the fact is that the more you look at it, the more you come to conclude that Mitt Romney has to draw an inside straight like you’ve never ever seen in a movie to win this thing. This is especially true now that it seems as if Pennsylvania isn’t really up for grabs. Romney’s paths to 270 are few.
It’s beginning to look like Obama can lose the big Eastern four—Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida: all of ’em!—and still be reelected.

Yeah right:CNN manipulated their polling | Education NewsCNN is grabbing political headlines tonight with the release of its latest poll. It shows Obama surging to a 6-point lead over Romney, 52-46, among likely. Before the start of the Democrat convention, the candidates had been tied in the poll. Since it purportedly confirms a narrative the media is trying to build, i.e. that Obama is starting to pull away with the race, it is getting wide coverage. However, there are a couple of strange things within the poll that cast doubt on its veracity. And, at least one concern warrants a response from CNN.
First, this being a media poll, it has an obvious skew towards Democrats. The partisan breakdown is (D/R/I) 50/45/5. It perhaps isn’t surprising that Obama is leading a D+5 poll by 6 points. Throughout the campaign season, Obama’s margin usually is very close to the partisan skew in the sample. It is surprising, though, that Independents make up only 5% of the sample. Tellingly, Romney leads this group by 14 points.
The debates will finish Romney off.

August jobs report: hiring down, unemployment falls - Sep. 7, 2012NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The labor market lost momentum last month as job growth fell to a disappointingly slow pace. The unemployment rate also fell, as more people stopped looking for jobs.
The economy added 96,000 jobs in August, down from 141,000 jobs in July, the Department of Labor said Friday.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate fell to 8.1%, from 8.3% in July.
Economists polled by CNNMoney were expecting 120,000 jobs to be added in the month, and the unemployment rate to remain unchanged.
The unemployment rate fell largely because 368,000 people stopped looking for work, many of them young people. Just 63.5% of the working-age population was either employed or actively looking for work -- a 30-year low.

The economy tidal wave has sunk the USS obama
Only for the idiots.
Obama took a chapter out of FDR's book the 1930's at a time when we actually needed roads and bridges. Today we have super highways that criss/cross this nation and if we needed a bridge we built it. What permits were issued overnight in the 30's now takes years of engineering and design. What took thousands of men with shovels in the 30's now can be done with a couple of heavy equipment operators--and what was a workforce of primarily men in the 1930's is now 1/2 women who don't do road and bridge work.
Bush's SEC let Wall Street run a derivatives Ponzi scheme that destroyed the world economy.
George W. Bush was the goose that flew into the engine.
Obama landed the plane in the Hudson.
obama could easily lose 50 of 57 states.
Heading into the debates, an Obama victory on Election Day is looking likely. But what if he doesnt just win, but wins huge? Michael Tomasky on the consequences of a landslide.
