No, the Nov. 6 election night results will be very close to the 2000 results, perhaps three or four states will be different.

Romney needs to take Ohio, Iowa, Virginia and at least one other, maybe Colorado.

Obama can count on New Mexico and probably Nevada.

The "kicker" is Wisconsin which the GOP was hoping to put "in play" by picking Paul Ryan.

I thought they would choose Marco Rubio, but Florida is safer for them than some think.

Prediction: Romney by the smallest Electoral College margin possible.

Senate: GOP pick up one for sure, maybe two, but "Dirty Hairy" Reid will still run the show for a few more years.
