Mitt wins, sort of

I had the exact same thought as David Atkins did--when you look at the map of Willard's win in Ohio this past Tuesday, he pretty much won areas that he has no chance in hell of winning come this November (Obama's victory map of Ohio in 2008).  In fact, it pretty much spreads across the country--the only red state without significant Mormon populations (Idaho and Arizona)  that McCain won in 2008 that Willard has managed to win so far is Alaska, with its whopping 3 electoral votes.

It's hard to see how Romney finds a path to victory in November.  President Obama isn't going to lose the blue states he won handily in 2008--and that gives him over 250 electoral votes.  A victory in states where he won close victories--like Ohio or Florida--pushes him over the top.  Hell winning Virginia and New Hampshire puts him over 270 and ensures his re-election.

A lot can happen in eight months, but you have to like the good guys' chances in the Presidential Election an awful lot these days.

Peace,
