Obama Could Block Romney in Three Key States

Amy Walter talks off-the-record to a handful of Democratic and Republican political operatives who agree that Wisconsin, Nevada, and Ohio “are the toughest states for Romney to win. If he loses all three he can’t win. Even if he swept all the other toss up states he’d end up with just 267 to Obama’s 271.”

Florida, Colorado, and New Hampshire are the best opportunities for Romney and though recent polling has Obama up in Virginia, “operatives on both sides think the state is much more competitive than that.”

First Read: “Right now, you could argue that Obama is in a stronger position in North
Carolina (his most challenging battleground state) than Romney is in
Ohio (a state that EVERY victorious Republican presidential nominee has
won).”
