Here are some electoral maps showing how difficult it will be for Romney to win the election

[웃 910]

The following scenarios show Romney WINNING OHIO which honestly is a long-shot but STILL LOSING THE ELECTION.

1) Romney wins OH but Obama wins Wisconsin and Virginia = O 276 R 262

2) Romney wins OH but Obama wins Wisconsin and Colorado = O 272 R 266

3) Romney wins OH and WI but Obama takes VA and CO = O 275 R 263

**There are a couple ways that Romney can win the election (again, they all are on the assumption OH goes to Romney which is unlikely)**

1) Romney wins OH, WI, VA, CO, and NH = R 289 O 249

2) Romney wins OH, WI, VA, and CO = R 285 O 253

3) Romney wins OH, VA, and CO but Obama wins NH and WI = R 275 O 263

**When you accept the reality that Romney loses OH there is only ONE possible way Romney can win. That is:

1) Romney takes WI, VA, CO, and NH = Romney 271 O 267

The other routes with Romney losing OH all show an Obama victory (take any of NH, CO, WI, VA away and the losses just start piling on).

Last but not least here is my prediction:

It is the exact same electoral map as InTrade, but I am being generous and giving CO and VA to Romney. FYI they only are listing CO and VA as tossup states:
