7. If Rmoney Loses Ohio (Which He Will)............

...............he has to win ALL of the following States to win: Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, and New Hampshire.

Of those States, he only has a realistic SHOT at winning MAYBE 2 of them. Rmoney's toast.

8. Obama wins sooooo many ways.

Romney has very few options. I am watching the following on election day: NH, IA, CO, NV, VA. If we win those, and don't lose WI, PA,or NM then that's it. With VA, we can lose IA and NH and still win. In fact, if VA is called for Obama, it's over for Romney.

OH and FL are not "must win states" for Obama. If we win FL, Romney would need WI and every other "swing" state to win. If win OH but not FL, Romney has a little breathing room, but needs all the other swing states still.

I start us with 247 EV right off the bat (because WI and MI are not swing states). They start with 191, and that is giving them AZ and MO, which I think could be in play in future cycles. If we can lock up the mountain west (CO, NV, NM, and AZ), then we won't need any "swing" state from the midwest, south, or east.

9. If early results show Virginia and New Hampshire for Obama it will be a good night

10. Romney has one hell of a fucking hill to climb. nt
