If it came down to one swing state deciding the election, which state do you think it will be?

Even if Romney wins Ohio, Florida, and Virginia, he will need one more state - perhaps Iowa, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Colorado, or Nevada. 

If he chooses a midwesterner as VP, I think Romney will be hoping to flip Iowa. 

This election by most polls seems very close, and it will likely be determined by a few states, including Ohio and Virginia.  But Romney will need to flip more states.

Ohio; Obama has shown a slightly larger lead there than the national average, and Romne nearly has to win it to win the electoral college. It's the one state that makes me feel that this race is leaning Obama right now.

Probably one of those states, or possibly Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, or North Carolina.  There's a lot of factors that will go into this.

The least clear-cut and most confusing one to call on election night with enough EVs to flip the outcome.

Iowa.

Its Romney's most likely 270+ ace in the hole. Plus if Obama loses Iowa, he has probably already lost Ohio and Virginia, not to mention Florida. Although stranger things have happened.

Wisconsin.

An interesting scenario would be if it all came down to Wisconsin, and Romney had named Ryan as his running mate, say Romney wins Wisconsin narrowly, and the reason being is because Ryan was on the ticket.

Romney would owe Ryan BIG TIME.
