Excellent, excellent post, MSMITH, and GallopingGhost Oct 2012 #14

Your second map is closest to current reality, which means Romney wins if he takes CO, NV, IA Azathoth Oct 2012 #15

Look at the second map. Romney wins even though we take OH and PA Azathoth Oct 2012 #19

Well, I just looked at Nevada and Iowa Sugarcoated Oct 2012 #20

The trend in Iowa is hard to figure out because there isn't much decent polling there Azathoth Oct 2012 #24

Rachel Maddow has done several stories on what a terrible mess the Republican party is in Nevada Sugarcoated Oct 2012 #26
