My my! What a “coincidence” that he cancels events in CO and VA, just as they slip away for good from him

Hmmm.... Yes.. it was Hurricane Sandy that made him cancel the visit in Colorado...

Mark my words, NC, FL, CO and VA have been written off by the President’s team

It is now defending OH, WI, IA and NH. That is their firewall.

The President has to sweep all four of them. The Governor on the other hand can any three of them or just OH

In addition, I truly believe MI will be the shock of the night.

PA, MN, OR stand out as possibilities if the Governor reaches the 53% mark nationally

I am willing to believe you but I need some proof of your prediction. Please provide some info.

Another shock of the night may very well be New Jersey, believe it or not.

I'm not a huge fan of Chris Christie, but in his first 3-4 months in office back in 2010 he accomplished something that I never thought would have been possible: He effectively reduced New Jersey public school teachers to a level of (dis)respect usually reserved for lawyers, arsonists and child molesters. I think every employed person in the U.S. who worries about his/her future is going to be hard-pressed to justify a vote for Barack Obama.

Exactly right. I have always maintained that CO, VA, NC, and VA were in the Romney column. I feel NH is slipping away from him too (see his visit yesterday).

(This reminds me of McCain in 08 cancelling his campaign to go back to DC. We know that's the strategy of a loser.)

Bottomline: If Romney wins by what I think he will (52-47 or so), he will not have to worry about any states. They will all go Romney, just by the probability of statistics.
