Obama States Then and Now
At the peak of his popularity, Obama had a impressive map in November 2008.
His map BEFORE Romney unloads the monetary mothership?
Not so much, per the latest polling averages:
NOVEMBER 2008:
AUGUST 2012:
The above map will likely get a lot redder as the Romney's Death Star 2.0 unloads Friday. But this is right now. Obama has seen catastrophic double-digit collapses from his 2008 performance in a wide swath of territory, some of it shocking.
President Obama had a summer to unload on Romney, only to make his map worse. This is the reality. The challenge will be for Team Romney to capitalize off low hanging fruit and make aggressive assaults into territory their funds give them the liberty of "blowing" on. The more we shrink the darker blues, the more likely Obama faces total electoral collapse.
