311 Romney
227 obama
Yeah, that electoral map is horrible. No way Obama wins like that
Try a better one
2012 Electoral College Scoreboard - Rasmussen Reports™
Or this one

RCP: Romney at 191. So 270 - 191 gives him 79 he needs
FL: 29
NC: 15
VA: 13
CO: 9
NH: 4
Giving him 70 without much trouble. So add in Ohio, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvannia and Romney wins. Obama won Wisconsin by 14% in 2008, now he's tied. Wow.
I think Romney gets Florida and North Carolina. I think he has a good shot at Virginia, but there are a LOT of non-military Government employees (and mor importantly, Liberal leaning non-profit employees) that live in the Virginia counties just outside D.C. that can be counted on to vote Blue. Colorado is closer than I thought it would be. Romney also has a shot there, but it depends on Liberals putting their vote where their mouth is on Johnson, as opposed to being good sheep and voting Obama (I think almost everywhere else Johnson takes from Romney, but there are some particular ballot initiatives up for vote in Colorado that makes me think Johnson is an Obama spoiler there). I don't see New Hampshire going for Romney, though. If he somehow gets Ohio AND Pennsylvania (which is what his people are saying), it ends up big for Romney. If he can get one if the two, plus Wisconsin, he'll eke it out. Otherwise I'm afraid we get "four more like the last four"
I respectfully disagree. If BHO wins the next four years will be much worse than the last four years.

Why would you say this? This assumes that if Johnson were not on the Ballot that his voters would have otherwise voted for Romney. I can only speak for myself, but I can tell you that if Gary Johnson were not on the ballot, I would have either voted for some other candidate or voted local, house and Senate, and not voted for President at all. Romney never had my vote, with or without Governor Johnson.
I respectfully disagree. If BHO wins the next four years will be much worse than the last four years.
