Good info...I have been saying same. Remember when the early swing state polls had Romney up? All the media did was complain that Missouri and Indiana skewed the results.

Well, then they dropped those two (R states) and added Wisconsin and Michigan, two D state which then skewed the results the other way. PA is always considered a swing state even though it NEVER is in a prez race.

Bottomline: Obama will win PA and MI and probably WI. The only swing states Romney really needs to focus on are VA, OH, FL, and CO - as you showed. He wins those. He wins. None of the other states matter.
