NC going Dem before MI, NJ, CT, and PA? That would certainly be strange.

Palin would take away more of the Republican vote in the South.

I think you underestimate Palin's pull with the GOP base in PA, OH, IN, and MO, while overestimating Kuninich's strength(if we're assuming that's the reason Romney is able to win). I just would not be able to see Romney winning MO or IN at all if Palin were strong enough to grab nine states other states.

However, I think that Romney might be able to win in this scenario. Four major candidates in the race would undoubtedly look bad for Obama, and not look like a split in the GOP(which would be the case if it was just Palin running as an indy). I think that it could make Romney look like the sensible choice for a lot of Americans; it turns him into an experienced moderate that has some credibility with the right. If he could turn Palin into an extremist out for her own gain, he might be able to limit her wins to one or two states and push down her numbers in those northern states like Ohio and Indiana.

Actually, if you are referring to me, nobody made it to 270 in my scenario. Obama led Romney by 3 EVs though.

Even if MO and IN swung, 270 would still be out of reach.

I meant "that's the reason Romney is able to win" THOSE STATES, I didn't mean the election overall in your scenario.
