2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumObama has a road to victory WITHOUT OH, NC, FL and VA!
Looking at the latest spend of the Mittster, he may be too late in getting NH, CO, IA and NV. Add in WI, MI and PA (they pulled out)...and this is stunning indeed! Obama would have 272 EVs!

(134 posts)He looks good in Ohio though.
I don't see Romney winning Ohio given the bailout.

(6,342 posts)Romney always needed the McCain states (which appears likely). Plus Indiana (which appears likely).
THEN he needs VA and NC, which are toss-ups. Then he needs FL and OH, which are toss-ups. And then one more swing state (like CO, WI, NV, IA, NH).
That's the most realistic path to victory for him. But he can get tripped up in a lot of places.
