Ever since Mitt Romney all but secured the Republican nomination, we were all waiting with bated breath.

Wait no more. Karl Rove has finally put out his inaugural 2012 electoral map. And who's winning?

Some old polling & undecideds not assigned to a candidate yet (may break big for Romney) & not using accurate likely voter set.... Nothing to see here... move along...

Pennsylvania and Michigan are in play!!! That’s the bigger story here. When was the last time that happened?

Ohio will determine the election. That’s all we need to know.

>> Ohio will determine the election <<

Probably so. And it makes Rob Portman a real possibility as Romney’s VP pick.

(But a drawback: He can’t speak Spanish fluently and doesn’t have a Mexican wife!)
