    The scenario hinges on Romney winning Colorado or New Mexico without winning Ohio. I think Ohio is going to be easier than either Colorado or New Mexico. Romney is going to have trouble with Hispanics in New Mexico and he doesn't have the mormon base like he does in Nevada to bail him out. IMO, if Romney does indeed win Colorado, he'll win Ohio also.
    C'mon. Let me have my fun.

      Your scenarios are plausible, I'm not sure if they were in, say, 2004 given the electoral map numbers back then.

      Realistically, this is going to end up at around 290 on either side. If the summer is bad, like it's been the past couple years, then if Romney wins we'll have a repeat of the 2004 map (along with New Hampshire and minus New Mexico), which would mean 289 electoral votes.
      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

        Here you go - Obama takes Colorado and NM, Romney picks off Ohio and Nevada. Still going to the House of Representatives:

        • This seems like the most realistic tie map to me

          It would be very similar to the results in 2000. The only difference would be Colorado, Iowa and Virginia.

            That works, but it doesn't fit within CMBF's paradigm which gives Virginia to Romney.

              I don't vote in online polls. But do you really have any question where I come down on this one?

              I suspect Lebowski may still be undecided about 2008.

              EDIT. Heh. Case-in-point.
