Of course the question is WHY the Romney campaign was aiming for a landslide by election day. It was fairly obvious to most reputable analyzers that Obama would come out ahead (Silver gave Obama somewhere around 85% chance of winning).

Also, if Romney had focused his ground game in Pennsylvania earlier, and the state was actually starting to look close, Obama would probably have poured tons of money into that state. As it happened, Obama spent very little time in Pennsylvania.

I saw with hindsight everything except Florida and the North Dakota and Nevada Senate races. And all I did was occasionally read Nate Silver's blog.

If the western part of the state is losing population and trending right, then there will be little change. If the trend continues, then the region would not have enough votes to matter electorally, is what badger is trying to say.
