How Romney could have won.

From The Fix:

...Romney won both Butler (which is nowhere near swingy) and Hillsborough. I also doubt he'd have to outright win Prince William (which voted very strongly for Obama)

This I'm afraid, is garbage. Sure if you get bigger swings precisely where you need them, with zero swing elsewhere, it does not take that many votes to make a huge plate tectonic shift. But that is not how the world works. It is not as if how folks vote in one place is totally uncorrelated as to who they  vote in other places.
