I suppose it's possible, but I don't think it's very likely.

Since Obama has Nevada all locked up- no.

But for Nevada, a realistic possibility. With NV however, quite unlikely.

If we consider FL, OH, NC, VA, WI, CO, IA, NV and NH to be pure tossups (which they aren't, but let's imagine), then this map has a 512/1 probability of coming true.

I agree.
If you had to choose just one state from this map that could be in error, it would be Nevada going to Romney.

Yeah NV struck me as off too. Otherwise it's a pretty doable scenario really.

Here's a slightly more likely scenario:



Which, thanks to Wisconsin, still isn't very likely at all.

Another one if Pennsylvania is truly in play.

I'd give anything for a tie in the EC, with Romney losing the PV, then Romney becoming President with a Dem becoming VP.  That would at the very least trigger some discussion about EC reform or abolition.
