That indicates the president merely has to hold the states he is now ahead in to win the Electoral College while Romnesia has to flip the states Obama is currently ahead in which give him an Electoral College majority as well as win the states he's tied or barely ahead or barely behind in.
It would be nice to win one of these states or even all three but as long as Romney is spending time there that is not time he is spending trying to flip the states he needs to win.
Sounds good to me.

(2,730 posts)The deficit for Democratic registration versus Republican registration has gos gotten larger since yesterday. Dems now have a 803,000 advantage and rising. The updates on early voting in North Carolina, 67% of the electorate is white so far while 28.8 percent is Black. What this indicates is a heavy Black turnout so far. Dems are also ahead in early voting like 2008. The most recent Poll out of North Carolina, gives Obama a three point advantage. So the reports about Romney having North Carolina sewed up are Bogus.

(8,064 posts)it's over. No way will Romney run the board on all the rest of the swing states
especially when he is behind in all of them. NC and VA are his only real chances
of holding (if he is even really ahead there). Florida could go either way, but
it won't matter if romney doesn't have BOTH VA and NC.
