An election for President in the United States is not a national event. It is a collection of 51 separate elections. There is no way Romney is going to carry New York or California, and there is no way Obama is going to carry Texas or Mississippi. So the campaigns will focus on winning the swing states. Here they are:
Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Whichever candidate wins more of these states will win the election.
Texas isn't as much of a conservative powerhouse as you might think. Lots of liberals just like nasty little 'ol me live in Texas, and no fucking way in hell am I going to vote for that snake Romney.
2008 it was 55.5% McCain to 43.8% Obama. New York on the other hand was 62.2% Obama and 36.7% McCain. 60.9% Obama and 37.3% to McCain in California whereas Mississippi was 56.4% McCain and 42.8% Obama.
Don't underestimate Obama too much.
