I read through some electoral college scenarios last weekend (the national polls mean virtually nothing at this point). And from that, I think you're right: Florida is the most pivotal state. It seems like Romney has to win Florida or he's basically toast. If Obama wins Florida, and I think one or two of the other battle ground states, he's pretty much got it locked up. A guy by the name of Virgil Goode got on the ballot in VA very recently. I expect for him to take away at least some small slice of the extreme right wing vote here. Romney really needs those votes. He really needs VA. If Goode screws that up for him, and Ohio keeps drifting away... Mitt might as well tell the fat lady to get tuned up.Quote:

But I forget, these predictions seem to usually come from people for whom mathematics is not their strongest card. :dozey:
