They acknowledged that there were only like 10 "battle ground" states. Yet not a mention of the fact that Obama was MUCH closer to the total number needed to win. Obama needs to win like 2, and that doesn't include Florida. Romney needs to nearly "run the table" on battleground states. And that presumes he wins all of the states in his column. Romney can't have a "defector" state, and he has to practically run the table on the battle ground states.

This race isn't close at all. It all rests on factors well outside of the republican's control ableit Obama's too. European debt, Iran/Israel, terrorism, Pakistan, Afghanistan, or natural disaster. These are the issues that could bring him down in the next 6 months. The GOP has virtually nothing to do with these and Obama only has the slightest of influence. And the truth is, a good performance after a natural disaster could be a clincher for him.
