Prediction: Romney scores a decisive win

If you haven’t already posted your predictions for tomorrow’s elections, be sure to do so here.

Ann Coulter has weighed in.

Tiffany Gabbay has tossed out her 2 cents.

Now brace yourselves for my prediction…

I’m not as optimistic as Glenn, but I’m also not as pessimistic as Stu. By my count, I think Mitt Romney will be the nation’s 45th president with 295 electoral votes.

How’d I get to 295?

Here’s my map:

Prediction: Romney scores a decisive win

  • NEW HAMPSHIRE: The state may be surrounded by northeastern liberals, but its motto is “Live Free or Die.”  I can’t believe such a pro-freedom state would side with Michael Bloomberg in favor of Obama.  Plus, Romney has a slight lead going into election day.  It’s only 4 electoral votes, but could make a big difference in such a close election.
  • OHIO: Following the GOP gubernatorial victory of John Kasich and all he’s done to turn around the state’s economy, I give Romney the edge in Ohio.  Assuming good turnout, I think the Catholic vote will also help Romney pick up Ohio’s 18 electoral votes.
  • PENNSYLVANIA: If Romney wins Pennsylvania, Tuesday will be an early night.  However, I’m predicting President Obama pulls out a victory in Pennsylvania.  The most recent polls have Obama leading and unless turnout in urban areas drops significantly, I think Obama will hold. (Sorry, Michael Barone.)
  • FLORIDA: All signs point to Romney victory… as long as we don’t end up with any “hanging chads” in 2012.
  • MICHIGAN: As much as I want Michigan to go red this election (and believe that it has the potential), I’m keeping the state in Obama’s win column.  This state will come down to turnout — If Democrats can’t mobilize voters in Detroit, the conservative west side of the state could pull through for Romney.  I’m not holding my breath, though…
  • WISCONSIN: Sure it’s the home of progressivism, but there are two key reasons I’m hopeful Wisconsin will go red for the first time in 2 decades this year: Scott Walker and Paul Ryan.  Wisconsin is obviously Paul Ryan’s home state, but more than that, I think voters’ rejection of recall efforts against Gov. Scott Walker signal a clear shift in the state’s priorities.  Remember what the polls said before the recall election?  They all said it was too close to call, but Walker scored a decisive victory with 53% of the vote.  I personally don’t think battle for Wisconsin is as close as the polls suggest.
  • NORTH CAROLINA: Obama gave up on winning this traditionally Republican state a long time ago — a win for Romney.
  • IOWA: I’m giving Iowans the benefit of the doubt and not assuming that they would trade the good of the country for some more farming subsidies from the Obama administration.  I’ve put the state’s 6 electoral votes in Romney’s column.
  • NEVADA: It’s the state who has repeatedly elected Harry Reid.  I’ve lost all faith that the state will actually vote smart and pick Romney.  Obama scores their 6 electoral votes.
  • COLORADO: Two words: Red Rocks.  As this rally demonstrated, Romney has some electric momentum in the Rocky Mountain state.  I think he’ll keep it up through Tuesday’s voting and take the state’s 9 electoral votes.

All in all, I predict Romney will walk away with an electoral college victory over Obama, 295-243.  We’ll just have to wait and see what happens…

    I just finished voting for the next president of the United States Mitt Romney and what a wonderful feeling it was. I know that Romney is going to win because 4 years ago my former middle class neighborhood (Democratic as well ) had Obama signs everywhere. As I drove home from from voting just now I saw only two signs and both were Romney. I truly believe that many of my neighbors are going in and voting for Romney but will say they are voting for Obama. You can see it in their faces. Can anyone say a Romney “LANDSLIDE”

    I can only laugh at the libs who waste their time coming on conservative websites. shows that you are worried. “Look mom, I’m on a conservative website messing with the winning side.” Morons! You wont be laughing tomorrow when your “hero” is defeated. Time is short, so enjoy your 24 hours of insecurity because, come tomorrow, it won’t be so funny.
    Tick Tock, Tick Tock I know you drones are nervous!

    Keep dreaming. Even serial wife-abandoner Newt Gingrich knows it’s over.

    Yeah it is a terrifying thought of Obama for another 4 years without having to worry about another re-election. And TONTPRO you made a good point too, he still has a chance to get his REVENGE like he is calling his supporters to vote for revenge.

    I think Romney’s going to win. The Redskins lost to the Carolina Panthers 21-13, unless Obama supporters can build a time machine, to go back 24 hours, then Obama loses.

    I’ve said it before, and I’m saying it again,

    It’s obvious that if the demon retains office we’re SCREWED,

    ….but let’s not forget that even if he loses, he has a few months that he will have nothing to lose, and can become very aggressive towards his agenda of destroying America.
