My count is:
Romney 206 EV
Obama 201 EV
with Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Virginia, Colorado, Utah and Iowa up for grabs. The idea that Obama has 247 EVs lock up is silly almost as silly as the idea that North Carolina is a swing state.
Rasmussen has already given Michigan and Pennsylvania to Obama.
As for Utah, Romney has their 6 EV in the bag.
In the RCP average of polls they have Wisconsin at:
Obama 48.4%
Romney 44.0%
I’m not going to totally disagree with you on Wisconsin but I think putting Paul Ryan on the ticket might give me a little more confidence that Romney could pull it off.
I see Obama winning Wisconsin by about 3-4 points. But a win is a win.
“Utah ... up for grabs”
This is a joke..... right?
Indeed, Obama’s got NC all locked up.
