Romney will have his only win of the night in New England... he will carry NH.
and ME-CD2
I’ll take it. New Hampshire plus Colorado plus Wisconsin means we don’t have to win Ohio, IIRC.
The talk here in New England is that he could get one EV from Maine (which splits its EVs).
“Romney will have his only win of the night in New England... he will carry NH...”
Looks good for Romney in New Hampshire.
But he also has a shot at picking up a single vote from that one Congressional district in Maine that leans to Republicans.
He is going to need every EV he can get.
Regardless of the puffery and over-optimism shown by many here on FR, I believe this is going to be a -very- close election, at least in the Electoral College.
Based on the stats I see at Rasmussen’s electoral college scoreboard right now, looks to me like the election could go Romney - 277, Obama - 252 (assuming Mr. Romney gets the one Congressional district in Maine that is leaning towards him, otherwise, it will be 276-253).

This assumes Romney wins New Hampshire, Ohio, and Iowa (the latter two states show a “tied race” right now, 48-48 in both).
I’m hoping Mr. Romney can pull this off...
