Starting with www.270towin.com, it currently has 181 EVs for Romney, with 161 undecided.

IMO, the best path from there to get 0bama out of the White House is to add:

FL - 29
NC - 15
VA - 13
MO - 10
IA - 6

That is 73 more, bringing MR to 254.

Then pick one of PA (20), OH (18), or MI (16), and 0bama is gone.

I think NH (4) will go to Romney as well.

Obviously, the VP choice is key. I think Gov Nikki Haley of SC would be a solid choice on many levels, helping to deliver the Southern states and also the women’s vote.

I think it is an advantage for Romney that the RNC convention is the week before the DNC. If he chooses Haley, he can get the message out and take the initiative. Presumably, 0bama will stick with Biden, and it will look like status quo for the DNC.

If he dumps Biden and chooses Hillary!, all bets are off. Hillary! just might agree to this as it would set her up for 2016.

First and foremost, we have to get 0bama out of the White House.

Cankles will be using a walker by then. Her time as they say “has done gone and went.”

I believe that Florida and Ohio will go to Romney. The fact that Michigan is even in play should be scary for Obama. Usually a DNC stronghold. All three of these States have Republican Governors which sometimes helps depending on the state of the party.

We will have to watch NC and VA.

Trikki Nikki is not under serious consideration for a variety of reasons, (primarily becuase SC in the bag, scandal plagued, ignorant, blooper prone, incompetent, corrupt...)

Just my .02

i agree but isn’t she being investigated right now? I bet dark clouds will be over her head the entire campaign just like Palin. The dirty media (insert curse) will replay their program from 2008.
I’d love Haley but they will drag her through more mud than we knew existed.

I figure Romney wins Ohio, New Hampshire, Florida, Virginia, Missouri and North Carolina.

Obama hangs on to Pennsylvania and Iowa (barely).

I think if Walker hangs on in Wisconsin, Romney may win it. If that happens, I think he may win Michigan.

So, in that scenario, it’s Romney 311, Obama 227.

I forgot to mention, I think Romney easily wins Nevada.
