Remember he predicted a big Romney win. He didn’t change his prediction yet but is hedging a bit on any big pronouncements..
Barone also asked:
‘Is he [Romney] outperforming John McCain enough?’

Fox News has on Michael Barone
Virginia razor thin
49/49 exit polls. If Romney does not capture Virginia his path to 270 is very difficult
My pick, but don't bet on it
I waited until very late in the game, but I am choosing who the electorate will pick for the next president of United States. Barack Obama.
I think he will win Pennsylvania by a slim margin, and when all Ohio by and even slimmer margin. He may even win Florida by the slimmest of slim margins. He will win New Jersey by a large margin, which is fitting since the governor of that state is not slim at all…
Others have said Obama will win, others have said Romney will win, and some have even said that Romney will win by a wide margin..
Time will tell.. Watching like you are..
Trying to read the tea leaves on TV
I was watching coverage of the election on all three major networks, CNN, Fox, and MSNBC. On those programs during interviews, Republicans look a little nervous and Democrats look a little overconfident. Not sure if my observations mean anything, it could just be that Republicans are nervous and Democrats are overconfident, or it could mean that exit polls show a substantial margin of victory for president Obama..
We won’t know officially until later, or even later than later, but I will continue to read the tea leaves and follow the airwaves along with reading as many websites and blogs as I can to find out if anyone can prognosticate who the president will be before the election gets called officially..
And what time the official recognition of a president comes? That is where the night could get long..
Final calls from pundits and prognosticators. Plus Katy Perry in a skin tight latex ballot outfit.
Election day predictions.. from pundits and soothsayers. Will they say anything if they are wrong?
Dick Morris predicts from a limb: Romney 325, Obama 213..
Michael Tomasky Obama 294, Romeny 244
Nate Silver: Obama 303, Romney 235
Michael Barone: Romney 315, Obama 223
Ezra Klein: Obama 290, Romney 248
George Will: Romney 321, Obama 217
Markos Moulitsas: Obama 332, Romney 206
Karl Rove: Romney 285, Obama 253
Jim Cramer: Obama 440, Romney 98
John Miller: Obama 294, Romney 244
Meanwhile, stars have made their pick. Springsteen, Lady Gaga, and others have appeared at rallies to sing for Obama. The latest is Katy Perry, whodecided to wear a skin tight ‘ballot’ outfit. Obama was checkmarked near her waist while Romney went blank near her crotch. 2012 is serious stuff. Minus Katy Perry.

THE CHOICE
America is set to vote..
All the ads, all the money.. all now history. The real story begins and ends with each citizen, in the polling place, deciding who should run the school board, the county.. the congress.. the nation. All up to Mr. And Mrs. Citizen. Joe Sixpack. All of those corny phrases ..
The election may be close, so the experts say. The pundits also tell us it could be disputed. Which means even more so that every vote counts. Remember in the year 2000? Votes counted then. Of course the real vote was the Supreme Court, their words certainly had more weight..
Nonetheless, in the year 2012, what is the choice?
Each campaign has framed the debate his (or her) own way.
But none of the frames matter.
The negative ads? They are meaningless too.
The debates? They meant something, but don’t know.
No, now you count.
You mean something.
You are the person who gets to decide.
There is something special about a free and fair election. We in America assume we have those things still. Hopefully our assumption will not be disproven by widespread fraud.. keep the fraud at a minimum. And in Philadelphia. But during a free election, you can walk into a polling place in silence, head held high, cast your choice, and walk out proud. Will your vote be counted? Well, that is for another time and place. But knowing you can do what you did without worry or trepidation or repudiation? Well, that feels alright …
So go make it count. Regardless of the candidate that you have bought into, no matter the talking points you have recited, just go and be silent in that polling place. Your vote speaks a million words.
AMERICA’S CHOICE, 2012.
For better or worse. Here we go.
