My biggest fear this election:

How many people would Republicans have to turn away from the polls in which key states to toss the election to Romney? I can foresee a situation in which Obama is the clear winner in the popular vote, but Romney takes the Electoral College.

But educating voters that may be at risk will help minimalize the effect. Volunteer to help people get their photo IDs, birth certificates, whatever they'll need. If you don't have time to volunteer, just getting the word out in your community will prepare folks for what to expect.

It's that populace states thing.

The only big EV state that is clearly red is TX. All the rest are blue. The so-called swing states, many are trending Obama.

Mitt's in big poo-poo at this time. That may change, but after this last week I do not see him winning this year.

That doesn't mean that we shouldn't work our asses off anyway.
