U.S. Edition
Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney are neck-and-neck in national polls, while Obama has an edge in crucial battleground states that will decide Tuesday's election.
The dynamic sets up a possible outcome that has happened rarely in American politics and could undermine the credibility of the victor - Romney beats Obama in the overall vote, but the president gets reelected by winning the decisive Electoral College.
Um, no. Not enough people even like Mitt for him to win the popular vote. Not gonna happen.
309 Romney to 229 0bama! You heard it here! A sound victory for our nation!
Romney/Ryan 2012!
If Mittens was not white, he would lose by 30 points.
That is possible, but of course, not really likely. Most of the time, even in close races, the popular vote is won, by the electoral winner as well. It is possible to be split, but those results are a true exception, and quite rare.
Romney will win both popular and electoral college votes. Romney/Ryan in 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gee. True the vote, voter suppression in all swing states, Governors of Florida and Ohio doing everything they can by cutting voting hours and early voting days. Rove and his dirty tricks are ready for Tuesday, Why is all this necessary> Ah, that's right, the GOP have to buy the election, not get the win outright just by being a good candidate. shameful
Wow. Pathetic, CNN. so desperate to continue the horse race narrative that you need to just go off the rails and imagine an almost impossible hypothetical for yoru bobbleheads to yammer about? The reality is, folks, that CNN and the rest of the MSM will be doing everything they can to "undermine the credibility of the victor," no matter who it is but particularly if it's Obama. They want the false equivalence and a POTUS with a weakened and constatly attacked public image...THE MSM WANTS THE OBSTRUCTION, GRIDLOCK AND DRAMA SO THEY CAN SENSATIONALIZE IT. The last thing they want is it becoming genearlly accepted that Obama beating back the "our number one priority" crowd actually gives him political capital to call for the GOP/Teatrolls to cut the crap and cease their infantile obstructionist tantrum. The "crap" is profitable "news" for the MSM. Get used to it.
keep dreaming
If Obama wasnt black you could say the same....oh thats right, it's only a race problem if a white person says it!

No. Any other questions CNN?
@Betterdaysahead, where do you get that? Which states are you having go to Romney that everyone else either has as Obama or toss up? I don't see it as that close.
Seriously CNN, is this what you really expect on election day. That is not going to happen, what will happen is that Obama will trash romney so freaking bad and good that romney will never even be elected sherif in a small town. 4 more 4 44. By tomorrow every right wing nut cases including the grass tea party will break their TV screen for the sight of President Obama winning a second term.
SB- Put up your predictions my friend and we'll see in the end.
"309 Romney to 229 0bama! You heard it here! A sound victory for our nation!"
Wanna list the electoral votes Mittens will be getting by state to achieve 309? I could use a good laugh.
You all need to go and volunteer someplace. Some of you for your candidate, some of you at a mental hospital.
Sniffit it is true what you say which is why this is my one and only post of the day. It is already a nightmare situation with someone of Romney's lack of caliber and character running for the highest office in the land, there is no need for CNN to come up with anything so far-fetched as this nightmare scenario.
I'm going to make some more phone calls for the Prez after work. Be serious about your vote America, and God bless us all. Obama 2012.
If Obama were white he would be ahead by 20 points in the polls right now
