The electoral college decides the outcome, not the popular vote. If Romney cant win WI, OH, and NV. He cant win the election. Regardless of what the popular vote outcome happens to be. For example, Romney may win by a huge margin in the red states, cut his deficit in the Blue states to 5% instead of 10%. But still lose the state and only rack up a lead in the popular vote. While Obama wins the states he needs to and gets to 270. After all, that is the name of the game.
