I would say that his ceiling is what he got in 2008 and I am not confident that he will match that.

Only if he got a lot of breaks between now and election day, decisively wins all 3 debates, and Romney continues to flail around; then he could match 2008, but still fall short of what you are hoping for.

Remember, a home run that goes into the upper deck is real pretty to look at, but it counts the same as a home run that just barely goes over the fence.
