I think both will be solidly in Obama's corner this year. If Santorum becomes the nominee, several of those red and toss-up states will instantly become blue.

I have Is Nevada should be tossup.If Santorum Is nominee It should be leaning Obama.Romney due to Momon population has a
shot at winning but Hispanic population could make It a fight.

Romney is hated here because of all the factories he bought up and then closed causing thousands of Hoosiers to lose their jobs and benefits. And Santorum is, well, just too extreme.

He'll lost VA this time around. And I think AZ is a toss up this year. He really has a chance there.

The last poll of NH has Obama leading Romney by 10.So I think we can say It Is leaning Obama.Virginia Is tossup.The most recent
poll gave Obama a 4 point lead In Virginia.

then VA will be much more difficult. It is not impossible, however. I just can't understand why McDonnell is so popular in the state. It's very weird.

they've done 16 since November.

But that doesn't mean it will be easy. His lead is between 1 and 3 points in each of the polls.

He will get a boost here for the convention, and then we need to focus HEAVILY on all of the college towns and cities to get the vote out. We have a insane number of colleges and universities in this state, and their areas usually trend very blue.

He's a Democrat that can appeal to Indies and some conservatives. Having a blue AZ seat and Obama has already made plans to campaign in AZ means it will force Romney to waste his resources.

I have confidence that Obama can pull AZ over to the blue side, win OH, VA, FL, not sure about NC.


Don't forget about MO and WV; they may be up for grabs
