Sure Romney will outperform a guy like Gingrich by at least 20 points in the north east. But I suspect a guy like Gingrich would lose in Connecticut and New Jersey by a lot more than 20 points, so...
Anyway, no one would be happier than me if Romney would carry those states. I have a political GOP oriented blog here in Italy and I’ll be doing liveblogging the whole night (7 hours tome difference with the US east coast). If Romney would carry those states we could call the election soon enough to allow me for at least a couple of hours of sleep :)
Sorry, I meant the ads bought in Minnesota could be a way to attack WEST Wisconsin. I mistakenly wrote east.
