President Obama doesn't need to win Ohio.

[Dawgs]

As long he gets Nevada and Iowa he only needs one of the following, and very likely, scenarios.

1- win Colorodo + NH, or
2- win Virginia, or (after his response to the storm I think this one is over and Obama has already won).
3- win Florida

Of course, everyone, including Romney, knows that Obama has already won Ohio.

1. Nothing is over til it's over. Let's not count the chickens etc. nt

4. I think he

is stronger in Ohio than those other States.
I'd rather it not come to that.

[Dawgs]

5. I agree. I think he wins Ohio, Virginia, Colorodo, Nevada, Iowa, and NH.

I'm not sure about Florida.

And, don't worry. It won't come to that.

8. Agree with Dawgs on states, plus WI

which never was a swing state. Maybe on Florida and fingers crossed but not as hopeful on NC.

6. I think he'll win Ohio, but...

Happy to see realistic paths to 270 without it or Florida.

7. OH is solidly blue, IMO.

It's been polled to death. What, just one poll of the last 20 giving the edge to Romney, and that one from Rasmussen? And now the Jeep lies, the politicizing of Sandy, etc.? I suspect voters are going to move even more firmly in the president's direction.

There's a reason Romney is now looking at other states. He knows Ohio is slipping away.

9. But he will win Ohio and probably has a better shot at Ohio than Florida.
