Mathematically, I agree with you.
Ohio for Romney, though, is a battle of prevention. With Obama alread at 221, he needs only 49 EV’s to win. Ohio’s 18 going to Obama makes that only 31 more EV’s that he needs to win, and if Ohio falls, then Romney must win 75% of the remaining EV’s, with Florida a must win among them.
Ohio is also odd because it seems always to be right on the line, due to its big mixes of urban, surburban, exurb, town, and agricultural, so it’s a good indicator of how close calls will be breaking.
Of course Ohio's 18 electoral votes are important.
Of course there are always obstacles to a Republican victory.

As election day nears.

As Barry's estrangement from the welfare of the USA persists.
Even the sheeple will understand that indeed a change is necessary if there is to be hope.
