Not sure what the author’s point is. He seems to be just dumb.
Those three states with 27 or so electoral votes didn’t make a difference in 2008 or 2012, and they almost certainly won’t in 2016. The familiar ground of Florida and Ohio are much more key.
And BOTH Cleveland and Miami held out their vote count until they knew how many votes they needed to deliver their states to Obama. Get a handle on Dem Vote Fraud or lose the WH forever, Pubbies.

Funny you should mention Florida and Ohio. The author explicitly states why NV, CO, and VA are relevant in relation to FL and OH:
"Bankable wins here meant Democrats could forgo traditional battlegrounds like Florida and Ohio and still win an Electoral College majority."
He implies that if NV, CO, and VA are in play in '16, which they most certainly are, then the dems must devote fewer resources to FL and OH in order to compete in these other three states.
How about Illinois electing a Republican governor? That enough electoral votes for ya?
The familiar ground of Florida and Ohio are much more key.

WOW! Then we better work our butts off to insure that we will have a Bush/Kasich Ticket in 2016.
