Dunno. On the surface, perhaps, but given that Romney has led in 2 of 3 recent polls in both states, I doubt it. I think as Hapax says above, this is probably a tiered attack to ensure these states are locked up. The fact is, if Romney has VA, FL, OH, and just one of IA, CO, NH (I think) he wins.

It does seem clear that they are writing off NM.

2008 + IN, NC, FL, VA, OH, NE1, NV or IA = 271EV

Colorado and New Hampshire are just gravy, as also it would be if Mittens took both NV and IA.

Although it's worth noting if you did all of the above, you could overcome the loss of Ohio. You wouldn't even need New Hampshire.

Basically a Kerry+Ohio scenario but the GOP candidate would still win because of reapportionment. If it comes down to that, wow the Donkeys will pull their hair out one strand at a time...
