No crap. If Romney can win PA, he’ll get Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and possibly Michigan and Wisconsin since PA runs close with those two latter state.
It cuts both ways. Why is Romney campaigning in Florida, a state that almost everyone on both sides has considered was in the bag for him? On FOX last night, they were saying both campaigns are balancing out best case scenario vs. worst case scenario because neither one has a clue if they’re going to win.
I can see Mitt winning FL, VA, NC, OH, WI, NH and CO before he wins PA. I just don’t think he’s going to lose any of those and still win PA. So PA is really nothing but extra EVs for him. My guess is he only campaigned here as a bluff, to force Obama to devote resources here instead of to states Mitt has a better chance in. Having Clinton waste time here instead of going to OH, WI or VA is a GREAT thing for Mitt.
