Republicans: its time to start strategizing now how you are going to make inroads with younger people in 2016. Millennials may never vote majority for Republicans, but you can capture more than the 20-30% Romney is getting. That is the only way you will ever win another election.

Disagree with your prediction.
I don't see Obama winning Iowa, MO, and Indiana. The rest of your map looks to be on par.
He'll get Iowa. They want corn hand outs, the manly man Republican stuff is just rural male social posturing. In the end most corn farmers know they'd be unemployed and unemployable in the free market.
He'll take Indiana IMO. His domination in the educated cities and Indianapolis will outweigh the rural vote.

Agree with the rest. He'll take Indiana IMO.
Indiana in many ways is more conservative than many southern states, I don't see him winning Indiana.
Missouri, Indiana, and South Carolina are not happening for Obama, though he might get a Nebraska split. Other then that it looks about right.
I think the GOP will likely have soul searching, then who knows what may emerge.
Agreed. This should be one of the easiest elections in history for the GOP given the state of this country after four years of Obama yet its starting to look like its going to be a repeat of 2008 or even a bigger in for Obama. Young people are on fire for Obama, just as much if not moreso than in 2008. Republicans only have themselves to blame.

That's what they get for nominating someone who doesn't stand for anything. To be fair, the other GOP candidates were worse.

I blame some of this on Rick Santorum. He never stood a chance at getting nominated yet his views on social issues were so radical they turned a lot of people, especially the younger generation away from even considering the Republican party before the nominee was even decided. They may be unhappy they are 3 years out of college and still living with mom and dad, but they would rather vote for more of the same than a radical like Santorum. In addition, Santorum siphoned off the evangelical vote so Romney won by default and not because a majority of Republicans wanted him. It's the same reason McCain got the nomination. However, I can't really think of any people in the finalists this cycle that would have been better than Romney. Most of the better candidates dropped out early on.
