If Romney wins two out of Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico, then everything else falls in place for him to win it. If he doesn't, then the Kenyan gets his second term.
“If Romney wins two out of Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico, then everything else falls in place for him to win it. If he doesn’t, then the Kenyan gets his second term.”
Of these three states, I think Romney’s only chance will be Nevada, where he will edge out Obama with the help of the “Mormon vote”.
New Mexico is now a “white minority” state and it’s going to be increasingly difficult for Republicans to win there. I don’t believe Romney can pull this one off.
Colorado is rapidly becoming the “California of the Rockies”. Obama’s going to squeak out a victory there.
The important states this time around will be Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, and perhaps even little New Hampshire. Romney needs all of them to win.
However, if Scott Walker can “flip” Wisconsin to Romney, it will change things completely. That’s a tough call, but right now Mr. Walker seems to be the toughest man in American politics — it’s within the realm of possibility.
