as NH is second when ordered to minimize lead my guess last month was right on the money there.
Va I had in Romneys camp, with a lead as tiny as the one for Obama currently. NC totally following my
expectations - living on Man cut some roots it seems ;-)

Nevada being more solidly D than Oh, Wi and I is the one most different from my estimate at the moment.
But unless Obama blunders even worse than in first debate or some external surprize happens,
it is wrapped according to your preference.
Even if the currently closest races in Co, N.H., Va fall to Romney plus the for me hard to forecast
Fl and Nev, Obama will ***still*** win by 4 votes. Long shot chance for Romney if he can pull
a rabbit out of Michigan or Mass from his former gov days, but I doubt he can as Obama is liked in Detroit,
even if Mitt has more chances to sway in those two states, they are too much leaning the other way.

Iran will be very quite, Afghanistan as well, only possible surprize areas Turkey/Syria border,
an embassy targeted by a splinter group not on leash or Wall Street being honest with itself and debt.
Bernanke and EU will make sure the last does happen well after the election.

>Were you in a yurt during the debate on Tuesday? ;-)

The questions and their order being clearly targeted and the obvious escape route
of falling back to the broad picture memorized before had trouble keeping me awake.
Romney showed some of the blonde moments I had expected more of...
