Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, New Hampshire, Maine, Colorado, Pennsylvania & Nevada. All states Obama won in 08 that I think will go Romney/Ryan.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say Romney is within a couple of points in Connecticut, New Jersey, and Minnesota. I would love to see Ras poll those states.

The fact that Obama is going to have to spend money in MI & WI is going to drain away his resources. I doubt he ever thought he would be defending these upper midwest states.

Well it might sound crazy, but I would add Massachusetts to that list too. Mitt Romney was elected governor here and Scott Brown is running for re-election against an insufferable woman named Elizabeth Warren. A lot of Democrats are going to vote for Scott Brown and they might just pull the lever for Romney while they are at it.

I agree with you on all of these except Maine and Pennsylvania. And Colorado and Nevada will be tough. But, in the latter two states, there are heavy Mormon populations. So, NV and CO are possibilities.

As a new person to Free Republic, I did a lot of perusing the articles and comments today. A lot of people have concerns about the Dems pulling off massive voter fraud. In the States above, which will all be close; do you think Romney can get a big enough vote margin to offset any vote fraud?

Maine is quite a stretch IMO

That is a very ambitious list. I am not ready to go there. I want to wait and see what stupid rabbit they pull out of their hat during the DNC Convention. I am very interested to see the “excitement” if it is really there or is it just BS. The stadium is going to be very telling! I am most interested to see if there are 20K people or 78K people. If it is 20K than they are completely done and we might get 40 states.

“... Pennsylvania Obama won in 08 that I think will go Romney/Ryan.” The Catholic factor alone will swing Pennsylvania which is 53% Catholic. On the demographics alone Romney wins.
