Based on the latest data from Rasmussen there are only 66 electoral votes rated as a toss up with Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin to close to call. Right now Romney is winning in Colorado and Virginia while Obama is slightly ahead in Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio and Wisconsin. In Iowa it's a tie.
Right now Obama has 237 electoral votes while Romney has 235. If Obama takes Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio and Wisconsin that gives him 275 votes while Romney would end up with 263 by taking Colorado, Iowa and Virginia.
Once again I believe Ohio's 18 electoral votes is the key state in this election. Obama has a 1 point lead in Ohio so Romney really needs to take Ohio to have a chance to win the election in the Electoral College. Finally don't be surprised if Romney wins the national vote but loses the Electoral Vote just like we saw in 2000 with Bush and Gore.
