Suddenly, Many Ways For Romney to Reach 270 Electoral Votes

The Obama campaign wants to make the 2012 contest a “choice” between its candidate and the Republican party; the Romney campaign wants to make the vote a referendum on Barack Obama. Mitt Romney is laying low, letting the election revolve around Obama--and winning.  While his campaign pushes back against Obama and the mainstream media, Romney is shaking hands on the trail--and winning support in key swing states.


At the outset, Romney’s path to victory seemed a narrow one. It was universally agreed that the 2012 contest would be fought in roughly ten swing states. But Obama’s weak economic performance, and Romney’s quietly effective campaign, has narrowed the field of play. It is now reasonable to imagine that Romney will win in North Carolina and Florida--two states that Obama won in 2008 and that he will likely lose this time around.

The easiest way? He's running against Obama.

With Romney's experience in business it's a no brainer that he'll win. By how much is the real issue. You have so many 'have nots' in this country that will vote for someone who will play Robinhood and steal from hard working 'have's' so they can still get free stuff.

On the job creation issue alone however Romney wins hands down.
