Has to win and two states that two weeks ago seemed to be trending ever so slightly to romney. so what about all this talk of expanding the map? most campaigns are now advertising in three new normally reliable democratic states but theyre leaning democratic states. lets not pretend theyre solid. then this morning a new detroit news poll of likely voters has in michigan showed the president leading romney but only by three points. a new franklin and marshall poll in pennsylvania shows the presid...

The conventional paths are tough because if you take ohio away, as i showed, and thats in the obama column, then he has all sorts of other problems to get to 270 and there is a necessity to find these states. and, by the way, folks, when im doing this, im not saying this is where nbc says the race is right now. im going through scenarios so dont overreact on twitter. i know you like to do that. one final point about the expanded battleground state maps f. romney comes up short and ohio proves to...

Theres a massive reagan-like landslide the last week, then suddenly mitt romneys pathway to 270 gets very, very narrow. >> so david, thats joes take on this. shawn spice we are the romney campaign on earlier saying theyre expanding the map and looking at pennsylvania, minnesota, as well. even though the numbers at least in pennsylvania certainly are not there or minnesota. they claim that they are looking not just at ohio but expanding this map. do you see any sign of momentum or whatever the ca...

We think the electoral map is ultimately going to look like when the ballots are counted. of course, a lot can change in the final sprint to the white house and we reserve our right to change our minds. we tell you about moves we make between now and november 6th and so heres my map. and the bottom line on this is is i have obama winning 294 to 244. i guess the key there is i say obama is going to take virginia. this is a state romney really needs to win. ive given romney north carolina and flor...
