Very interesting.

Basicly shows that if Romney cannot win 60% of white voters, he loses.

McCain got 56% of the white vote in 2008, a historically bad year for the GOP. I think 60% this time around for Romney is doable. It is really close according to that tool though. At 60% Romney wins 270 to 269

I don't know how legit the calculator is tbh. To flip VA from blue to red, it's saying (assuming other %'s are similar to 2008) that Romney would need 66%+ of the VA White vote.

That seems.....excessive.

Dreams are a wonderful thing

But sadly for Willard and the GOP who nominated him.....the facts show him trailing and trending lower after the third debatein seven of the nine battleground swing states

Nevada
Ohio
Wisconsin
Iowa
New Hampshire
Virginia
Colorado

and leading in only

Florida
North Carolina

Obviously most of these are close and things could turn around in 11 days before the Election

But right now ...it's the maths that matter

A rat is better then the lying scumbag we have now! BTW the rat is pulling ahead in nearly every state you mentioned. If not why is Obama pulling his money out of the states.
