[quote]The presidential race in New Hampshire remains neck-and-neck, with Mitt Romney stretching to a two-point lead.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely New Hampshire Voters, taken the night after the final presidential debate, finds Romney earning 50% support, while President Obama has 48% of the vote. One percent (1%) likes some other candidate, and another one percent (1%) is undecided.[/quote]
The Obama campaign was counting on winning NH without having to spend much to do it. Now it looks like they’ll have to divert more resources to NH to stay competitive.

New Hampshire has 4 electoral votes, Iowa 6 and Colorado 9. All three states were supposed to be easy wins for Obama. If you total up those three states you have 19 electoral votes which is one more than Ohio’s 18. This could be the Romney strategy should Obama win Ohio. But at this point they are exactly tied in Ohio.

ZOMG… I didn’t read an opinion piece on Fox, shame on me for being excited that someone appeared to look past the 30 second talking points.

I never meant to pass it as mine, i took it from another forum, probably should have said. Just thought it was a well thought out argument with useful info, and having now read the original, i still agree

Maine splits 2 electoral votes. Theoretically, one candidate could get 1 and the other get the other of the 2 ev’s.
Maine’s 2nd district is highly rural and locally relatively conservative (for Maine) and it’s in play right now.
The reason it’s relevant in this discussion is that Romney knows it’s in play and the campaign just took out a huge ad buy for the 2nd district which is mostly north and west, but the broadcast area covers NH, so there’s big bang for the buck.
NH isn’t a given for Obama, so the Maine ad buy is that much more exposure into NH.
