ANALYSIS - Suddenly, Republican Mitt Romney has a viable path to victory in the tight battle for the White House.
Democratic President Barack Obama still appears to have the upper hand in the state-by-state fight to cobble together the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency in the November 6 election.
But Romney’s recent surge in the polls after his strong performance in his first debate with Obama on October 3 has propelled the Republican into the lead or within striking distance in enough states to give him a reasonable chance of beating Obama to the finish line.
Ohio, long seen as the key to unlocking the White House, looms large in every victory scenario for either candidate — particularly Romney. Until the last two weeks, polls did not show Romney with enough support in other crucial states to give him a clear path even if he won Ohio.
But he has that now, as the campaign enters its final two weeks with eight states in play as toss-ups.

The Post has it as, "Romney has path to victory, but Obama still has slight edge."
I used the author's/Google's headline.
>>The Post has it as, “Romney has path to victory, but Obama still has slight edge.”<<
Title Searches in FR: the bane of our existence.
ITMT: Gallup has 52-45 It is Romney who has the edge.
As soon as people saw Romney at the first debate, scales fell from people’s eyes.<P.The ONLY people voting for Obama are Blacks, Union THUGS and women who want nothing else but MORE DEAD BABIES!!!!! Plus some stupid and immoral Catholics and Jews...that’s it.
RCP has Romney now at 206, including leaners.
If that were to hold, he only needs CO, FL, IA, NH, NV, and VA to win ...
And he is closing in PA, if he takes it - he doen’t even need CO, NH, or NV ...
Bump!
bump for later
:)
If Romney holds all his likely/leaners, all he needs is NH, VA, FL and OH to put him over the top (270-268). Doesn’t need IA, WI, PA, MI CO, NM or NV. Definitely do-able.
You could have sat in with the group at the Mclaughlin Report and said just that and walked off.
It is as sensible and likely true as anything I’ve heard, and it is actually the summation of all I’ve observed.
Am still taking part in a prayer vigil, can’t hurt.
How dumb do these reporters think we are that they believe that we’ll buy this BS that Romney is doing better in the National Numbers (which includes enormous urban Obama strongholds) and doing worse in more rural, more evenly divided states compared to the national average?
Isn’t Free Republic’s official position, “FUMR,” and “Vote 3rd party!”?
OMG....I can hardly even laugh at that freak’s STUPIDITY!!! Mitt is a Communist Socialist!! What stupid countrymen we have produced.
The cold war hasn't ended, it just went more underground.
Communists have been infiltrating our schools for generations corrupting them.
The Communist and Muslims have been working from within for several generations to weaken and then take over America for their own purposes.
We need to treat both Socialism (Communism) and Islam for the very severe threats that they are and not welcome them into the political and military positions that they have infiltrated.
The biggest threat of all to America is the Democratic party which has been taken over by the Communists, gays and other Anti-American groups which are now occupying it.
The Dems have sold out America for campaign contributions and personal gain.
KILLING MORE BABIES is ALL they care about!!! EVIL!
I have always said this, from the minute of the “fall” of the soviet union.
Suddenly?!? Did someone just wake up from a three week nap?
And from the Polls, all four look good.
