I'll take this series of non sequiturs as tacit admission that your Two Popular Liberals theory is dead.
But about your "new" change of topic: I assume you think the electoral college map is in Obama's favor, despite his national disapproval rating. Heh. Well, since you asked:
Obama vs Romney:
PA: 43/41% (
RCP avg), Latest is
Quinnipiac (7/31), 42/44%
FL: 43/45% (
RCP avg), Latest is
Magellan Strategies poll: 39/49%
OH: No
RCP avg yet, Latest is
PPP (8/14) 45/43%
At this point, head-to-head matchups tell you more about the incumbent than the challenger, since there's no nominee yet and we're still more than a year out. (You're a smart "independent moderate" so I'm sure you knew that.)
But Romney appears to be well positioned if he ends up the nominee. More importantly, Obama is well under 50%, and remains under 50% almost no matter who the opponent is.

I couldn't care less. Not like CA is going to vote Republican anyway. Plus ... who's running the state of CA these days? Hmm ...
Also, you seem to be under the false impression that I'm a big Romney fan. Let me divest of you of yet another incorrect view.
