President Obama’s senior campaign adviser David Axelrod said Wednesday he’d shave his signature mustache if Obama loses Minnesota, Michigan or Pennsylvania to Mitt Romney.
“I will shave off my mustache of 40 years if we lose any of those three states,” Axelrod declared on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe."
Provoked by recent polls, the campaigns have been in a turf war over traditionally blue states.
The Romney campaign says it sees an opening to steal some electoral votes that many believe Obama should’ve locked down by now. The Obama campaign says this is merely posturing by the Romney campaign, and a sign of desperation because Romney needs to expand his map for an Electoral College victory.
“They’re going to states that they’re simply not going to win in hopes that they can make something happen to compensate for the fact that we’re even or ahead in all of these battleground states,” Axelrod continued. “There’s not one of these battleground states that they can say with absolute confidence that they’re going to win.”
Recent polls have shown Romney within striking distance in Minnesota, Michigan and Pennsylvania, although the polling averages still favor Obama. Many analysts believe Romney is a long shot to overtake the president in any of the three because the states have leaned Democratic in recent elections.

The clean-shaven look will be better in his job search after November. Looking like Adolf just doesn’t look good to the owners of used car lots who want to hire a new sleazeball salesman.
That Hitler guy speaks.
Good. Then he can put a wastebasket over his head like Carville did in 2004.
He was planning to shave anyway, because he doesnt want anyone to recognize him as a guy who worked for Obama. He’ll have to go work in the real world now.
I’d be more interested in him committing Seppuku.
What's he gonna do when they lose the election?....shave his balls or snip em?
Wow, way to go out on a limb there axelrod.
Those are some fugly people!
He’ll do no such thing - he’s lying like a rug!!
How many times have members of the Hollywood crowd promised to leave the country if Bush were elected, and then welch on their promises?
So what? Hillary said the same thing.
You’ll still be ugly................
He thinks someone actually cares????
The mere fact that Axelrod is even talking about Minnesota (a state which hasn’t voted for a Republican president in forty years) this late in the game shows that Obama is in serious trouble.
Actually, he said Minnesota, Michigan, or Pennsylvania.
Such absurd bluster!
Hillary will shave her beard.
Why not just find another country to move to - ROD?
