It took the liberal media awhile to admit this and I am sure panic is setting in with the Obama re-election staf in news rooms across America
The race between President Obama and Mitt Romney is closer than ever, including the measure that will decide it: The Electoral College.
Obama leads in states with 201 electoral votes, according to state polling averages compiled by the RealClearPolitics website (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/2012_elections_electoral_college_map.html). Romney leads in states with 191 electoral votes.
It takes 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
Two-and-half weeks ago, RealClearPolitics (http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2012/09/27/obama-near-270-electoral-votes/70001262/1) gave Obama a lead of 265-191 in the Electoral College, in part because Ohio was considered a "likely Obama" state.
Now Ohio is again a tossup.
The reason: The debate.
