Final total - Romney 273; Obama 265

i don't see a single poll putting romney ahead in nevada. he's between 2.5 to 4.1 behind in most models. it's certainly not beyond a romney get but that seems like the longest stretch in what you're assuming. ohio looks tighter than nevada.

The most recent poll for Nevada that I can find (NBC News / WSJ / Marist College) show 50-47 Obama with a 2% uncommitted and margin of error of +/- 5%.

If you want to make that bet, be my guest.

The most recent OH numbers are much closer, as I'mgod alluded to - the two most recent (10/28) polls:

Grove - 48/45 Obama
Rasmussen - 50-48 Romney

So it may well come down to who wins OH, but this notion that Obama can win the EC without OH does not add up.
