all Obama needs is Ohio, Wisconsin and Nevada/Iowa.
I went by the other person's statement. If Romney won all of the states he listed (including the states we know Romney will win), he will have 271 EVs. Perhaps the poster misspoke or was too quick on listing the states, but that is the 'arithmetic'.
Romney has absolutely made a comeback and is polling better in most swing states, even winning a few. That is not in question.
The problem is before the comeback, Romney was in a pretty deep hole electoral college wise. His turnaround has been impressive, but that hole was even more impressive. For him to pull of a win he needs damn near every single tossup state to go his way. That is hard to do in the timeframe Romney had to do it in.
Again it is not impossible, but no one should be throwing a party just yet on either side really. But if I were Obama I wouldn't be in a rush to start packing.
Notice obama is not campaigning in NC..or FL for that matter.
Follow his slime trail - VA, OH, IO CO
Obama is doing better than I thought he would in NC. NC is not needed, nor is FL. The only states you need to watch are NV, OH, and NH. Romney trails in all of them. Obama will also take IA and VA, though the latter is still a little less certain.
