Reading all the latest polling data, it seems as if Ohio, as in 2004, will ultimately decide the election. By 8 PM next Tuesday, we should know who will be President in 2013. If the President wins Ohio, which is more Republican than Wisconsin and Iowa, it will look very bleak for Governor Romney.
Politico's sampling of the RCP Data gives the President 237 to start with and the Governor 191. By now, let's assume the three early Swing States of Florida, North Carolina and Virginia all go Red. That would give Romney 248. And NH could give him 252.
So when Ohio closes, those 18 votes would give the Governor 270.
But given what we know about Iowa and Wisconsin, if Ohio goes Blue, then most likely Iowa and Wisconsin go Blue as well. Those three states would give the President 271 electoral college votes.
I know the flash polling on Drudge today shows a tie in Wisconsin, but the fact that neither candidate is there makes me believe the internal numbers for Romney aren't good there.
