Unless the economy suddenly rebounds, I don’t see him carrying NC, VA, FL, or OH, either.
Ohio and Florida are the hurdles.
Obama has no chance of winning Indiana.
I see PA as a bigger hurdle this go round. It is a Hitlery state that went very red thin ‘10. There is not a lot of love here and having the Rendell machine in shambles on the ground leaves a lot of cheating out of the question. Obummer has more trouble than in ‘08 because of these flips of state Gov’t. VA and OH look bad as well for him.
Obuggery is dead meat in Indiana.
We need Daniels to lock it up right? /sarc..
Obama’s biggest hurdle is himself. FAIL.
Zero has no chance of winning Indiana? There are a lot of ghosts in Lake County. And Lake County will delay reporting vote totals until they know how many ghosts (with photo ID) they need. Just like the last Dem presidential primary.
So what’s his plan for Ohio?
Oh, yeah...tell ‘em that he’s gonna end NAFTA! /sarc
He better NOT carry NC again...how embaraskin THAT was....
Obama, in the best case scenario for Democrats, barely won Indiana.
I am a Hoosier, and trust me when I say Howdy Doody has no chance here. I deal with 150 - 300 people a day and the dislike I’m hearing for this man on a daily basis is enormous. He’s toast.
Actually, I was thinking that Pence running for Governor would probably be good for GOP turnout across the board.
But I agree with what was posted above -- Indiana only goes to Obama in 2012 if he's already winning in a landslide.
He can forget about winning Wisconsin, too.
Obama won in 2008 with 365 electoral votes to McCain’s 173. With the new apportionment based on the 2010 census, the margin would drop to 359-179.
If the Dems’ “order of difficulty for Obama to hold” estimates are correct, if the next GOP candidate won all of McCain’s electoral votes, he (or she) would need to pick up the six most vulnerable states to create a 269-269 tie: Indiana (11 electoral votes), North Carolina (15), Virginia (13), Florida (29), Ohio (18), and New Hampshire (4). The first four on the list should be slam dunks, but it gets tough after that. Colorado, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania should be on the GOP’s radar screen.

If the inexplicable ticket splitting in Hamilton county hadn’t happened. He would have lost Indiana in 2008.
That's what you call whistling past the graveyard. :)
