Romney’s schedule indicates to me that he believes he 1)has Florida won; 2) has a lead sufficient to win Va., but not large enough to be assured; 3)he’s unsure if he has the final 22 electoral votes necessary to win so he is moving around to find those votes in some combination of (in order of probability) Ohio, Colorado,NH, Iowa, Pa, with the hope that Ryan can do something to win Wisconsin.
I agree. VA is a difficult for Republicans to win because the demographics in NOVA have changed.
My view is he’ll win VA, OH, CO, NH, IA, PA and with favorite son Paul Ryan, he has a good shot of picking up WI. And he also thinks NV is still winnable but it’ll be tough due to the Clark County casino unions and the Hispanic vote. MN is a head feint - its not going to be done this year.
But I think the rest of it as Michael Barone said Friday, this is what we should expect to see happening on Tuesday night.
