What does Ras consider swing states?

Right now, including ME CD2, my WCS is Romney - 292; Obama -246

Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

I just don't see how ME2 comes along until we get into the 310-320EV range where Romney is winning states like NJ. Not impossible but certainly ME2 is further out on the electoral event horizon than WI or even PA.

The last ME poll I can find is dated, 9/28, PanAmSMS 51% - Romney 37% , and in early October Rothenberg & CQ/RollCall moved ME to "safe Dem".

ME has an SSM referendum called 'Question 1' that might in the past have helped the GOP candidate, but the polling shows it somewhere near 50% or above for passage. I realize of course that no SSM ballot question has ever won.
