He HAS to take ALL the "tan-colored" states.

(32,025 posts)How are they saying SC and GA are 'weak GOP'? Saxby Chambliss and You Lie Wilson are from these states. Hmmm . . . I'd love it if it were true.

(1,004 posts)He can win it by taking back Nevada, New Mexico, Iowa, Indiana, and all of Nebraska's electoral votes. North Carolina is going to be his anyway.
Of course, he HAS to win Florida and Ohio for this to work:

(95,337 posts)I think in a few months that state will be solid blue. Detroit will come out huge for Obama and that'll bring the rest of the state into the "D" column.

(1,004 posts)Romney doesn't need Michigan or Virginia, was my main point. He can get to 270 by recapturing some smaller states that went narrowly for Obama in 2008, and of course, Ohio and Florida.

(3,073 posts)1-3% skimmed of the top in most districts using machines. We need a 4-6% lead to over compensate in swing states or we loose.

ctaylors6
(693 posts)but does need FL + OH + NC + VA + 1 other state
The other state needs to be 5 electoral votes or more according to your map, unless gets Romney gets 1 more in NE and then just needs any 4 votes
The 1 other state could be NV, WI, IA, NH, etc.
