Former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA)/Senator Rob Portman (R-OH): 277 Electoral Votes
Vice President Joe Biden (D-DE)/Former Governor Brian Schweitzer (D-MT): 173 Electoral Votes
Senator Ted Cruz (Tea Party-TX)/Senator Tom Cotton (Tea Party-AR): 88 Electoral Votes
How the does Mitt win a landslide if the TP's splitting votes?
Just because the map shows a landslide doesn't mean its close. A few thousand votes here and there could give Biden ten extra states. But how the hell does Romney win OH, IN, PA, MI, MN, WI, ME, CT, WA, OR, IA, AZ, FL, GA, AND NC with a Tea Party candidate in the race? This map makes little sense.
