With polls showing the race locked in a virtual tie, political analysts say the election may turn on which side has the better get out the vote machine. Both teams are stealing a page from george w. Bush. The swing state blitz will continue practically nonstop. Mitt romney will also be hitting colorado, iowa, and ohio. How is the Electoral College map looking at this point . The Associated Press is estimated that right now the president looks like he has 237 electoral votes and romney has locked then 191, with 110 still up for grabs. Essentially, a lot can happen in two weeks. These are just predictions. Discussions over question 6 and question seven. Barry simms joins us live in northwest baltimore. But first, David Collins takes a closer look at the meaning behind it and the baltimore support for question 7. Casino owners in West Virginia are spending millions against question 7. That upsets me, and that upsets and Jonathan Ogden. Why is mayor stephanie rawlingsblake supporting competition for baltimores casinos . She has supported her staff said she endorsed the because it allows table games at all maryland facilities. There is a tradeoff. Table games will add another 500 jobs to the baltimore site and the city will get a 5 share of revenue. Question 7 means thousands of jobs and millions for our schools. The mayor says question 7 also means more money for school construction, city propertytax relief, and operation of city recreation centers. Analyst estimate the casino would cause a reduction in revenue, potentially 65 million loss. Question seven guarantees there not be reduction of local impact aid in the city. There is nothing in place to do anything with the funds. Casino operator will get a 7 tax break and the opportunity to lower it by another 3 . The tradeoff is a temporary decline in gambling revenues going into the Education Trust fund. The bottom line, if question seven passes, baltimore gain from jobs and a portion of table game revenue, but again, there is a tradeoff. An Analysis Finds gaming interests, rather than public interest, are calling the shots. Some clergy members came out today in opposition to expanded gambling. Barry simms picks up the story and continues our commitment 2012 coverage. Expanding gambling is one of the issues on the minds of religious leaders but they are also trying to have an impact on some other ballot initiatives. It is very clear that they dont all agree. It is the rallying cry of politicians and ministers opposed to expanding gambling in maryland, seeking to defeat question 7 on election day. We have to stop this silly logic that says we can fund our virtues by expanding our vices. The focus, jobs and education funding. For many, it is a moral issue. We should not have to turn to gambling to make a bad on our children. Clergy are taking a stand on the dream act and they are deeply divided on another ballot referendum, marriage equality. I am sure we can work out something where we dont have to redefine marriage for everybody. Religious leaders who have played roles in shaping Public Policy are taking various sites on what is characterized as civil rights issues. We have a long way to go in terms of honoring the fact that just because it says christian on the front of the building, you cannot assume there will be a unity of beliefs on all matters. The church is divided on several issues in this election. The only thing i am really proud about on either side is that the church is involved. A Political Science professor says there are breaks in the message. Some voters may have a difficult decision to make. I dont believe anyone really has a poll on how this is going to turn out. It could go either way. Now the onus is on the voter, and that is a good thing. Was evident is that religious leaders and the church are not on the sidelines but on the front line.
