Sir, –   I know it is in the interests of the Western mass media, especially the electronic media, to suggest that the upcoming US presidential election is  “still up for grabs”. Nonsense!   President Obama is going to win comfortably.

He already has approximately 237 electoral votes –   so that he needs only another 33 electoral votes to reach the victory number.   Of the so-called “nine battleground states”, he will win Ohio (18 votes) Wisconsin (10 votes) and Colorado (nine votes) to go over the top, along with several of the other  “battleground states”.

From the beginning of this campaign, over a year ago, President Obama has never been in trouble in regaining the office of the president. – Yours, etc,
