2012 Presidential Election Projection

You can read the Associated Press's analysis of the 2012 Presidential Election, state by state electoral vote projection, here. I've found the best method is to start with the 2008 results and build in the scenario that fits the Obama-Romney race. My take shown here-- 2012 Presidential Election: Electoral Map --results in Romney victory (271 electoral votes*) over Obama (267 electoral votes**). Very close race but a change in a few states could substantially increase Romney's winning margin--Obama's probably most vulnerable in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa.  

Well that's my take, what's yours?
