There are only a couple on that list Obama remotely has a chance of losing.

If you look at the number comparisons of each state, you'll see the 2008 numbers equal 98% or 99%...Because that's a decision that has already come to pass... But if you look at the CURRENT numbers, you'll find that they equal 91%...90%...and a few even less... That means there are a few places with a ton of "undecideds", and they usually swing to the non-incumbent...USUALLY... "By how much" may determine a couple of flips... Look at Pennsyvania...46%-40%...That's only 86% total...Even if you count a few Ralph Nadar or Libertarian fans, you still get a good 12% undecided......If that goes 9% to Romney and 3% to Obama, it's an even split...and that's assuming the poll is accurate...

Out of all the states listed in the article, I would venture only three of the twenty will go to Romney.

None of the others are very likely at all to swing to Romney.
