Voter Registration Gives Democrats Edge in Many Swing States
By JEFF ZELENY
Voter registration ended Tuesday in Colorado, Florida and Ohio, three critical pieces to the electoral battleground puzzle, along with a dozen other states.
An aggressive registration push by President Obamas campaign produced Democratic advantages in nearly every swing state where registration is cataloged by political party. But in most states, Republicans are cutting into the Democratic margins that helped sweep Mr. Obama into office four years ago, according to preliminary figures from state election officials.

I think President Obama has a much bigger and more organized ground game in the swing states than Romney does.
I truly believe the only swing state we may lose is North Carolina.
