Well, I’d rather see Romney building a lead in all four of those states, but these results aren’t disastrous by any means. Minnesota and Pennsylvania would be awfully nice to win, but they aren’t the key states for Romney. Kentucky was never likely territory for Obama. That leaves Michigan, which is still a possibility.
It’s going to be a close race up to the end, and Romney is going to have to fight hard these next 50 days. It’s still a very winnable race, though, and I think Romney is starting show some spark since the press conference over the leaked video nonsense.
See #46. My personal gut feeling, again, is that Ohio and Florida are both where the genuinely important action is at, ultimately... and I haven’t seen anything yet to change that estimation. ;)
