re 270 EV’s, Newt would be a lock for something between 150 and 200, the entire south and the western states other than Nevada, Colorado and NM. McRomney would be at risk for a few of those. It’s hard to imagine Newt losing a McCain state, but Romney might find a way to lose a couple.
Can McRomney win any blue states? not likely
Word is McRomney would give the repubs an edge in Michigan and NH. Maybe, but it seems to me that Newt would have an equivalent edge in blue collar swing states that hate DC.
I just can’t picture Mitt being more electable than Newt. The fury from the feminists, gays and politicians would be greater at Newt, but unions? minorities? Where is this purported gigantic electability edge?
Other than in the eyes of McRomney’s supporters.
If Newt can get his vision of American renewal out through the barbed wire of Pravda, he could win in a landslide. Mitt’s message of “I’m more competant than obama” might win in a squeeker.
