The Obama campaign wants to make the 2012 contest a “choice” between its candidate and the Republican party; the Romney campaign wants to make the vote a referendum on Barack Obama. Mitt Romney is laying low, letting the election revolve around Obama--and winning. While his campaign pushes back against Obama and the mainstream media, Romney is shaking hands on the trail--and winning support in key swing states.
At the outset, Romney’s path to victory seemed a narrow one. It was universally agreed that the 2012 contest would be fought in roughly ten swing states. But Obama’s weak economic performance, and Romney’s quietly effective campaign, has narrowed the field of play. It is now reasonable to imagine that Romney will win in North Carolina and Florida--two states that Obama won in 2008 and that he will likely lose this time around.

Screw 270— I want to break the 350 barrier!
Mr. RomneyCARE is “laying low” because he is a coward
AND has no arguments.
Ineligibiity, RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE, TARP, etc ARE MOOT
with Mr. RomneyCARE.
Why is 350 a barrier ?
Reagan got 525.
Relax.
There’s 2016 to run against Romney.
Right now, let’s get Obama out of the WH.
I just hope that after Romney loses, his fans will be willing to join with real conservatives to create a united unanimous front.
So, should Romney kick it off on Labor at Jersey City , Hudson County, Liberty Park just like Ronald Reagan? That night is the Dem Convention Evening #1.
BTW, I was in the audience that day to see Ronald Reagan..
ABO We Can!!!!
I'm just asking you why you think 350 is a "barrier".
Good news! and it would be wonderful to get some senate picks.
I haven’t read much about our prospects to get gains in the senate. Of course, Texas has a senate election but it will be a republican replacing a republican. Hopefully a more conservative republican than Kaye Bailey, but ...
FUBO!!!
Two questions for everyone please:
I keep hearing that VA is the State that will determine who will occupy the White House from 2013-2017. If so....
#1. Can Governor Bob McDonnell carry VA for the GOP if he is the VP pick?
#2. Would he be a better VP candidate than Marco Rubio who could probably deliver FL and a lot of Hispanic votes?
I’d really appreciate some input here. Thanks.
FUBO!!!
Good point. I’ll remind myself of that when I vote ABO.
I am with you. I think 352 or 359 are about the limit as I see it today.
A united, unanimous, conservative front will depend on the candidate. In the meantime, we should stop predicting Romney's loss and get rid of Obama.
I have a better chance of occupying the White House next year than Tom Hoefling does. Talk about a waste of time.
The graphic in the linked article is from an interactive website called 270 to win:
For electoral map junkies is very well worth bookmarking.
If you convince me of that, I might vote for you.
