Missouri, Colorado and Ohio become the keys, along with Florida (must hold).
Does anyone find it ironic that Iowa (40% probability of voting Republican), New Hampshire (27.5% probability of voting Republican), Michigan (19% probability of voting Republican), and South Carolina (90% probability of voting Republican) have such dominant sway over who the Republican candidate for president is going to be this year? Add to that the fact that all of these events so far have been “open” to independents and Democrats to create havoc and confusion.
What has happened to our nominating process????? Why the h*ll should we care who the people of Iowa or NH or Michigan prefer (especially all the independents and Demos) among the GOP field? No wonder the Huckster and McNasty have done so well and have gained so much influence and momentum.
Something needs to be done about this mess.
Romney would make solidly red Southern states potentially blue and pink ones blue.
