Romney's path to 270
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/art..._113755-2.html
Judging by the polls thus far, it appears as though Romney (at this stage I'm all but certain he'll be the GOP nominee) will face a considerably uphill battle to winning 270 electoral votes in November. Obama has consistently possessed a lead over him in crucial states like Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, and even Florida (albeit barely). Granted, it is definitely too early to pay all that much attention to the polls as a lot can and probably will happen between now and Election Day. Nevertheless, for now Obama possesses an easier path towards an electoral victory. I have a gut feeling that, just like in 2000, the Sunshine State will decide the outcome...
