Former GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich predicts Mitt Romney will enjoy a comfortable victory on Election Day, taking home more than 300 electoral votes.
He needs 270 votes to gain the White House...
Gingrich goes on with some insightful and informative points to be made.
..."I believe the minimum result will be 53 percent to 47 percent for Romney, over 300 electoral votes, and the Republicans will pick up the Senate,” the former House Speaker tells Fox News. “I base that on just years and years of experience.”
Specifically, Gingrich cites what he calls the “Carville Rule,” named after Democratic strategist James Carville. The rule stipulates that whatever percentage number an incumbent receives in final polls is the number he’ll receive in the election, The Hill reports.
For example, if Obama and Romney are tied at 47 percent on Nov. 5, that means Obama will garner 47 percent of the vote and Romney 53 percent...
Gingrich on the all important swing states.
...Important states are turning Romney’s way Gingrich says. “You start carrying a Wisconsin, Virginia's gonna get sealed off, Florida's gonna get sealed off, North Carolina's already sealed off. Michigan's starting to be in play, I think Pennsylvania's starting to be in play."...
Not to be outdone, Larry Kudlow is quoted.
...CNBC commentator Larry Kudlow is another expert who sees Romney winning more than 300 electoral votes — 330 to be exact. “I believe he will sweep the Midwest and win this election going away,” Kudlow says...
One point not addressed in this post revolves around the Ohio vote. Democrats are pushing hard on provisional votes to be cast if there is any doubt of whether a mail in ballot has been received on time. Here's where a problem could arise. If the vote between Romney and Obama is close and the provisional votes are greater than the difference between the two candidates, the certified Ohio vote count could be delayed by at least 10 days while provisional ballots are checked against any actual votes received from the same voter.
Bottom line: If the election is close and it falls on Ohio to be the deciding vote count, the election results could take weeks to sort out. Sounds like another 2000 Florida vote scenario. Let's hope it doesn't come to this.
Let's be honest here. Wishful thinking is probably right on target. Every single prediction that has been proposed has neglected THE MOST SERIOUS FACT - that this administration is the most corrupt, secretive government ever known to the United States of America! To date they have accepted illegal donations, supported racist voter suppression and have electronically modified voting machines in Nevada, and probably elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteJoe Kennedy used dead people, the troll's team will use illegal aliens, to pad their voting base.
Our elections have always been, and supposedly still are, based on the honesty of both parties, which now is non-existent.
President Carter was too doltish to think up half the stuff this troll is taking for granted and using.
330 electoral votes? I'm not greedy - just get enough plus ten votes, so that the court proceedings will be short, and I would be ecstatic! Newt Gingrich is smoking something if he thinks the troll doesn't think he's got the election sewn up! It shows in everything he does and says. Somebody needs to wake up.
However, I will say that because I live in CA, and our election coverage is so incredibly biased and godawful, I could be way off base. Newt, Baby, prove me wrong!
