20%. Iowa is looking good for the President. But he won't win NE-2 again

20%.
Uh... what? An exact scenario at 20%? And one that requires quite the swing towards Romney?

Zero chance. It's impossible for Obama to take NE-2 while losing both Iowa and Wisconsin.
This is probably the most likely tied EV map:
This is another plausible one, but not as likely as the first I gave:

Pretty decent chance, though not extremely likely. The best scenario for a tie, in my opinion, would be this:

Obama is the yeast in the brew that is currently fermenting the toxic, gases pond scum that has taken over the governance of His’ Federal rule.

Possible, but its chances have gone down the last few weeks as the Wisconsin bump from picking Ryan has faded.

Possible by not likely. It looks like if Obama only gets one of Ohio and Virginia he's far likelier to get Virginia instead of Ohio.

Take out Nevada from Romney, and you have yourself a good map.

I would be happy with that.
Though I see no reason to expect it.

(20th post, need 1 more, can't include map)
Though I see no reason to expect it.
It has a better probability than the originals though, I think maybe 3-4% chance that it will tie in general
