In reply to the discussion: Romney's 269 Electoral Vote Strategy Will Begin This Weekend. [View all]David Zephyr
(22,785 posts)We agree about Ohio. I'm not very secure about about Colorado, but I can hope, can't I.
My OP was that I believe what I describe is the only path Romney really has left. Someone messaged me that Rachel Maddow mentioned this tonight on her show (not my post, but the 269 template). I wish I could have seen it.
When Romney left the debate and went straight to those three states, it just fits in with the whole desperate picture they now face. The faces of the Romney family after the debate are the saddest forced smiles I've seen in a debate. They know the internal numbers. They are in their end game now.
Axelrod is a genius and the Obama ground game is brilliant. The ads in the midwest months ago paid off. And Ohio started voting eons ago.
Yes, Nevada's polls are all over the place, but the Latino vote is motivated and all this "rape" crap that the GOP keeps spewing out is really turning everyone off except the haters.
I just can't see how Romney can get to 270, dsc. I don't see it. New Hampshire, one of his hopes, has melted away from him, too.
But they are very tricky and his easiest path now is 269 and that would be truly horrible if he succeeded, which I don't think he will as I think Florida and Virginia will fall for Obama. If Virginia goes to Obama, it's all over.
