The polls have them tied by heavily oversampling democrappers. We need conservatives in the House and Senate to whak romney in the head not to do stoooopid things.

Your analysis may be good, but on the Obama states I wouldn't necessarily bet my life on Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

The voters from California and New York are doing to this country what they've accomplished in their own states: complete economic melt-down. Almost 100 electoral votes in the bag for every dem. Obama doesn't even need to campaign in those states...just show up once in awhile for a bag full of money.

a) What can Romney do to have any chance to win Virginia?

Be someone other than Mitt Romney.

b) What can Romney do to have any chance of winning Colorado?

See above.

My count is:

Romney 206 EV

Obama 201 EV

with Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Virginia, Colorado, Utah and Iowa up for grabs. The idea that Obama has 247 EVs lock up is silly almost as silly as the idea that North Carolina is a swing state.

And Obama is behind in Iowa.

Forget Goode. Looming defense cuts and no support from Kaine will doom Obama in VA.

Romney should just go for broke and ask Sarah Palin to come aboard, or order one of his aides to “leak” a secret message of that intention to see what the polls do.

Obviously Condi Rice doesn’t have the activism Sarah Palin could generate.

Sure asking Sarah Palin to be the VP nominee is like adding rocket fuel to a lumbering diesel truck, but as long as the wheels stay on it will be one heck of a ride.

How many of those states Obama “commands” is he over 50 percent? If he isn’t there now, he probably will lose.

What can Romney do to have any chance to win Virginia?
______________________________________________________________

One of two things:

1. Use some of those millions in the campaign coffers to dig up all the dirt on Virgil Goode that they can, and find something really sinister in his, or a close family member’s, past. If they can’t find anything, pay someone to propagate a detestable lie on Mr. Goode, and recant after the Election by saying: “Oh, I’m sorry; I had him confused with Virgil Googenheimer whom I haven’t seen since 1987.

OR

2. The Weekend before the Election, pay a large sum of money to have someone release, to “World Net Daily” and “The Drudge Report”, a digitally manipulated picture of Virgil Goode having sex with a dog. That would turn-off the otherwise Romney supporters sending them back into the GOP Column, and it would so excite 50% of the Obama voters they’d switch over and vote for Mr. Goode, for sure.

Hey, with a lot of money, in the internet age, they can do just about anything. And, there is no politician above committing an act that most would consider some odious; shall we say?

For starters: You can move New Mexico, Wisconsin, Michigan and “possibly” Pennsylvania to the GOP Column. Piss on the pundits. After that, how is it looking for Obama? He’s trailing Romney now 231-196

Your theory that putting “rock-ribbed conservative on the ticket” will help him win Colorado is a joke, right?

Oh well, it’s cheap entertainment.

Good analyses. He was a poor selection because he was a Rockefeller liberal-socialist and the rest in the field were actually conservatives. Now he wants baby killer Rice as VP!! You can’t make this up. Our only hope is mutiny at the convention.

OBama could, once AGAIN, collect the Electoral Vote from Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. Last time Nebraska split it’s Electoral Vote... 4 McCain & 1 Obama.

I have reflected on the Virginia-Colorado scenario and I stand by what I wrote.

However I think I know what Mitt Romney intends to do:

1) Abandon Virginia and go all in in Wisconsin and its 10 EV. Put Paul Ryan on the ticket who will also help out in Indiana and Ohio. Nate Silver already has given Romney a good chance of winning NC and with the Bushes and Rick Scott in Florida he will feel he should win there as well.

Add all that up you have 83 EV which you can add to the original 180 EV to take Romney to 263 EV.

2)Romney therefore is not forced to win Colorado to become President. He only then needs to win 2 of these 3 states (Nevada, Iowa, NH).

In other words here is a way for Romney to avoid the Virginia-Colorado scenario and for him to have a reasonable shot at being President.

But in this scenario it all comes down to Wisconsin. But if I were in Romney’s shoes I would rather it comes down Wisconsin a less conservative state than Virginia a very conservative state especially in Southern Virginia.
