Romney brings the north (MI, IA, MO)
Game over.
Romney might have a good chance in Ohio as well, if hecontinues to talk about economic issues.

Romney can’t win squat in the general election.
After spending a mountain of money and practically living in Iowa, Mitt only got 25% of the Republican vote after leading with large margins up until the last few weeks. It seemed that the more the Hawkeye voters saw of Mitt Romney, the less they liked him which doesn't bode well in the general election if Romney is the nominee.
The Missourians that I know would punch you in the nose if you told them Missouri is in the north. Missouri is a possible win for any of the Republican candidates but it is very much a purple state and go easily go blue this fall. Romney won't carry Michigan in the general election, whether it is his home state or not.
No way Romney wins Iowa.
