Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Iowa, but he doesn't have an amazingly good chance in any of them.

Whichever one would be hit hardest by high summer gas prices or a euro crisis.

For no reason, I'll say that's Colorado.

Iowa.

The other states he could win if.....something bad is revealed about Obama that has been kept secret for 4 years, he does a gaffe, or signs a very unpopular policy, so unpopular that half the liberal base disowns him.

Since he ran in 2008 without winning a single state, I'd say Utah.

Iowa. It appears the state may be trending back towards the Republicans.

Iowa's just white enough and Republican enough to be able to swing for Romney. There's a certain blandness in that part of the country as well that I think will make Romney a good fit for Iowa.

If Romney can improve at all with Hispanics (i.e. getting more than 25% of them), probably Colorado, where Republicans have a high floor and where business interests are growing.

Probably Iowa, though. I voted Colorado just so it could be closer.

Iowa could possibly go Romney, but it's unlikely. They've been trending democratic in national elections (they've got dem in 5 of the last 6 elections), and Romney can't excite their evangelical base enough for them to turn out in the insane numbers he'd need to win the state. Colorado and Penn will only go for Romney if all goes to hell for Obama. And with Romney's "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" op-ed, I can't see how he'd win Michigan. It's generally bad campaigning to tell the largest city in a vital swing state to go screw itself.

Iowa even though a poll showed him 10 points down. Overall he has very little chance picking any of these states up.

Indiana. 

Yes, I know it is not one of the options.
