Using Tender Branson's maps, if I may.

Obama vs. Palin

Which further proves that out of the major candidates, Mitt Romney is the most electable. Several mountain west states will certainly come into play with Romney as the nominee.

I´m already looking forward to the NV numbers. I guess Romney does best there in the General and in the Primary.

I already thought this was the case. Nobody besides Romney seems to have a chance in the West. Republicans should probably really go with Romney if they are smart ...

[Niemeyerite]

but hopefully, romney won't win the primary... and remember, PPP showed obama ahead by 4 in 2008, and he won by 12. in the 20'10 senbate election, PPP showed angle ahead by 1, and reid won by 6.5. so, maybe obama is ahead by 9 against romney xD.

No, Romney has been leading in the Nevada polls consistently by wide margins: 34-21 against Gingrich last time they polled in July. Romney is undoubtedly the strongest candidate in the West.

Interesting that Obama is doing so poorly against Romney. Of course, Romney probably won't be the nominee, and the other Republicans are getting crushed.

Romney loses North Carolina, so the choice between Huckabee and Romney may be which way a Republican wants to lose.

Unemployment in NV is worst in country, and it will be a tough hold for Obama, especially vs. Romney.

Remember to add about 5-7 points to the Dem margins in this state to get an accurate picture of what's going on.

But why learn from past experience?

Must be the Mormon factor, but if 2010 is any indication, I still think Obama will carry Nevada in 2012, probably not by 12.5-margin he did in 2008, but he'll still carry it.

This election is over before we even get the Western states if Obama wins both Ohio and Florida. Also, please update the EV numbers to reflect the new census.

Ahh, I thought this was a new thread.  Got my hopes up.

Corrected.
